It's Back To Business For Teresa Giudice

It was business as usual for Teresa Giudice Friday night despite the fact her husband Joe had been arrested just a few hours before!

Radar Online broke all the exclusive details of the Real Housewives of New Jersey star's husband being busted, and now we've learned that as he sat in jail, she headed out to a public appearance as if nothing had happened.

Joe Giudice, 40, was arrested at the couple's home and charged with fraudulently obtaining a state driver's license. While he spent six hours being processed at a local police station, Teresa went to her book signing at the Mount Airy Casino Resort in the Poconos.

Joe was eventually picked up by two male family members, who posted his $50,000 bail. His mother drove him to meet Teresa, Radar Online can exclusively report.

Teresa later tweeted about their evening, completely ignoring the legal drama.

"Hanging out with my honey at Mt Airy Casino. Just finished dinner now we are going to check out the scene."

Later she wrote, "Just wanted to say thank you to all my fans who came out to see me. Love you guys."

Joe Giudice, whose own driver's license is suspended, is accused of using his brother's identity -- he presented his birth certificate and marriage license -- to obtain a new license for himself.

He faces up to 10 years in state prison if convicted on a charge of Wrongfully Using Identifying Information of Another, and 18 months on a Forgery charge.

Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner will return next year... but only for the right price

By Daily Mail Reporter


Pay me double - or I'll quit: Jason Gardiner is believed to have told Dancing On Ice bosses that if they want him back next year, they'll need to give him a big pay rise


He's made just as many headlines as the contestants with his outspoken and sometime scathing views.

And ITV bosses have cited Jason Gardiner as one of the reasons behind this season's high ratings, as viewers tune in hoping he will get into a row with a contestant, their friends and family, or one of his fellow judges.

But Gardiner, 39, is believed to have given the show's bosses and ultimatum and has demanded they pay him double his pay - or he'll walk.


The Australian choreographer, who is paid £100,000 to be a judge, wants double that to return to the panel next year, according to the People.

He said: 'I AM that show. Without me it is dull. I know they want me on the next series but they are going to have to pay what I’m worth.'

And yesterday a source on the show, which has pulled in an average of seven million viewers every week this series, said: 'ITV will pull out all the stops to keep Jason. He’s driven the show more than ever this series.

'His run-ins with Karen Barber and Tim Healy have been the most talked about episodes. Viewers may not ­always like what he says, but they also want to hear his opinions.

You're opinions don't matter: Gardiner reduced head coach Karen Barber ot tears after they got into a row after he gave low points to contestant Johnson Beharry VC


'The top brass realise they need to start talking about Jason’s future here. Money will be an issue. It now all depends on whether there is enough dough in the budget to complete the sort of deal we know Jason is after.'

But according to the Daily Star Sunday, Gardiner will be getting £135,000 next year, which will making him the highest paid judge.

he has hit the headlines this season after a run-in with head coach Karen Barber, who he left 'inconsolable' after telling her opinions 'did not matter'.

He hit out at Tim Healy, husband of departing skater Denise Welch, after he confronted him at the judges desk berating him for his critical comments about his wife.

Gardiner turned his head away and later took to his Twitter page and wrote that Healy stank of ‘stale p*** and alcohol’.


Listen, pal: Gardiner got a ticking off from Denise Welch's partner Tim Healy - but waved the actor away and said 'Oh my God, your breath!'

Leandro Penna's ex-girlfriend warns Katie Price that her new man is a love-rat who is just using her for fame

By Daily Mail Reporter


They have barely left each other's side since they met at Elton John's Oscar party last month and have gushed about their whirlwind romance.

But Katie Price was today warned that her new man might not be the man she thinks he is, after his ex-girlfriend said he left her after she had his baby.

And she told the glamour model - who she called a 'stupid rich girl' - that Leandro is only after her for her fame and fortune and is using her to become a celebrity.

Speaking to the News of the World, Romina Brizzo, 25, said: Leo loves to date wealthy girls.

'Jordan is no different. She is just another stupid rich girl who has fallen for his charms. He looks innocent but he isn't.'

Romina met Leandro in Argentina five years ago but three months into their relationship, she discovered that she was pregnant.

And she said that he 'ran away' when he found out and although he was there for their daughter Sofia's birth, he barely sees her.

Speaking to the News of the World, Romina said: 'We knew it was going to happen. We didn't use protection. Leandro used to say he wanted to be a young father.'

But the former model said when she got pregnant, Leandro told her he didn't want it and started seeing other women while she was pregnant.

She said: 'Even before the birth he was seeing other women. He came to the birth but looked really scared as he held Sofia.'

And Romina said she had to take him to court to pay child support after failing to financially provide for his child for two years.

However, despite only seeing his three-year-old daughter three times a year, Leandro is planning to introduce his little girl to Katie - and Romina had to help set it up.

She said he has organised a family gathering in Cordoba in Argentina next week and added: 'I spoke to him and Katie on the phone. I had to speak to her in English because she couldn't understand what Leo was saying.'

But last night, he hit out at her accusations and told the paper: 'I've no wish to get into a slanging match with the mother of the child I love very much.'

New love: Katie and Leandro, seen here at the races last week, met at Elton John's Oscar party last month


Leandro also spoke for the first time about his whirlwind romance with Katie and said their love knows no boundaries.

The 25-year-old also hit out at her ex-husband Alex Reid, who he accused of wanting to 'damage' her, and said she is 'divine', 'humble' and normal'.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Leandro, who is seven years younger than the glamour model, said it was him that made the first move, not her, as reports suggested.

He said: 'I made the first move, not her as everyone’s said. We started talking, had a drinks and we became intimate. That’s just how it happened.'

A few days later he flew to the UK to stay with her at her and her family at her Surrey home, and instantly became part of her life, even appearing in her fly-on-the-wall series for Sky Living

He has also found himself caught up in the ongoing divorce saga between and her estranged husband Alex Reid - but Leandro said Katie is not to blame for anything.

Leandro, who has modelled for Louis Vuitton, said: 'Alex always wanted to damage Katie. Her ex-partners say anything about Katie as long as they can make money.

'Katie is very family-orientated, humble and much more normal than many other people who talk about her.'

Doting: Leandro holds onto Katie's son Junior - but his ex Romina said he rarely sees his own daughter Sofia

X Factor judge's birth agony: After 20 hours of labour, Dannii Minogue realised her dream of a home birth was over

By Dannii Minogue


No place like home: But Dannii Minogue's plans to give birth at home were dashed after discovering baby Ethan was in the back-to-back position


At 6.39pm on July 5 last year, our little boy, Ethan Edward Minogue Smith, came into the world weighing 8lb 3oz.

My partner Kris and I were now, officially, Mummy and Daddy, and we were overjoyed.

But typically for me, nothing about the birth went according to plan.


For a start, Ethan arrived ten days early, and then we discovered he wasn't in the correct position for a smooth delivery.

So, after 20 hours of excruciating labour, my plans for a home birth went out of the window and I ended up having Ethan in hospital.

Contrary to reports of me being rushed to hospital in an emergency, my amazing home-birth midwives, Nicola and Helen, helped us carry out a smooth transfer to the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne.

The staff at the hospital were great, and worked with our midwives to make my little boy's birth the wonderful and happy experience I'd hoped it would be, even though I wasn't at home.

I'd had my heart set on having Ethan at home after talking to my friends Jasper and Lynne, from the UK, who were really positive about the idea and had done lots of research.

Lynne had given birth to my goddaughter, Amelie, at home, and her second baby, Theo, and she had loved the experience.

I really believe that a woman should have the right to have her baby at home if that's what she decides and medically it's safe for her to do so.

There's no right or wrong, for me it's about choice. But it's a constant battle for mothers and professional midwives alike to get that point across.

Another major factor in choosing a home birth was my residual anxiety about hospitals, as my recent memories of them had not been particularly pleasant.
There had been my sister Kylie's cancer treatment, and then I'd watched my best friend Laura go into hospital, again with cancer, and never come out.

I just wanted some comfort and privacy and, for me, that meant giving birth in my own home.

When my contractions started I was fairly serene - it was everyone else who seemed to get into a flap.

As I said, Ethan decided to join us early, so when my waters broke after I'd ambitiously tried to cram myself into a pair of jeans, I called Kris, who was playing golf.

He, in turn, called my mum, Carol, who happened to be on her way over anyway. I was quite calm, but I worried that Kris might drive too fast or miss a red light in all the excitement while dashing back to the house.


Centre of Attention: Dannii with partner Kris and baby Ethan (left) and Auntie Kylie gets to grips with the new arrival


My friend Ben Pauley, who was visiting from Los Angeles, was also at the house, and he and Mum made a hysterical double act during my labour, running around my kitchen, bumping into one another, repeating: 'Right, what do we do? What do we need?'

But several hours into my labour my initial serenity had evaporated. Because Ethan was in a posterior position, meaning his back was in line with my back and his arms and legs were moving freely across my tummy, I was in absolute agony.

Nicola and Helen have since told me how brave I was during those long hours of labour, but not having had a baby before I had no idea at the time whether it was bravery or delirium that saw me through.

I do remember walking up and down the stairs, holding on to Kris, and being told to lift my legs as high as I could. This was not something I was especially in the mood for at that stage, but as it can help to turn the baby to the correct position I wanted to give it a go.

Then the midwives showed Kris some acupressure points in my back he could press on to alleviate some of the pain and told him not to be afraid to press as hard as he could.

After several hours of this, at every contraction Kris asked Nicola if he should stop. 'Only if she's got quite a deep dent in her back,' came the reply. 'Keep going, you can't press too hard.'

Following in mum's footsteps: By the time he was born, Ethan had swum with a dolphin, walked the red carpet, been photographed for magazines, sat on the judging panel of TV talent shows, flown in a private jet and launched a clothing range


I didn't feel a thing at the time, as there was too much happening on the inside of my back, but I had bruises afterwards.

By the time I was transferred to hospital the following morning I'd been in pain, without any numbing medication, for a long time, so an epidural was very welcome.

When Laura was dying in hospital, I would rub her feet and when I was in hospital having Ethan, one of the nurses came to the end of my bed and did the same to me. I burst out crying. I felt Laura was there. I wanted her so much to be there with me and meet my little baby.

But when I held Ethan for the first time, the pain and worry melted away. Kris and I couldn't believe that we'd made another person together.

When you are first handed your baby, you try to take in every feature, every finger, toe and eyelash. I remember thinking: 'Who are you? How did you get here? I can't believe you've been in my tummy all this time and I'm finally meeting you.' It was wonderful.

By the time he was born, Ethan had swum with a dolphin, walked the red carpet, been photographed for magazine covers, sat on the judging panel of two TV talent shows, flown in a private jet and launched a clothing range. I guess pre-school will have a lot to live up to.


Mothers have the right to choose, but those at risk need to be in a hospital
By Clive Spence-Jones, Obstertricdian and gynaecologist

Dannii is not the first celebrity mum to opt for a home birth. Demi Moore had her three children at home, and model Gisele Bundchen, Davina McCall, and Charlotte Church chose to do the same.

None of these successful women were shy to advocate the benefits of delivering at home.

But Dannii's honesty is to be admired, admitting that her dreams were shattered by the unpredictable nature of birth.

Are there lessons to be learned from her story?

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommends that all women should be offered options about where to give birth.

But home is still an unusual choice. Last year, 18,000 women in the UK gave birth at home (2.7 per cent of the total) without medical intervention.

Numbers have declined dramatically in the past 50 years. In 1960, one in three births in England and Wales was at home, but the figure has hovered around three per cent for the past 15 years.

Yet in the Netherlands a third of women have home births. Campaigners say this is the model we should aspire to. And it is not hard to see why. At home the mother is surrounded by familiarity, and there is no risk of a hospital-acquired infection.

Working together, midwives and obstetricians have developed guidelines to identify mothers we would not advise to choose home birth. It is not safe, for example, for mothers with high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia), a history of heavy bleeding after previous birth, and women whose babies are in the wrong position in the womb, to deliver at home.

But, even for women who should be eligible, the reality for those reliant on the NHS is different. Two midwives are needed to supervise a home birth, one for the mother and one for the baby.

Dire staff shortages in some areas mean this is not possible. Indeed, some Primary Care Trusts ask women to visit their hospital to see a midwife.

Unfortunately, it's not just staffing levels that make home delivery potentially unsafe.

Research in the U.S. has shown that the average mortality rate of babies born in hospital was 0.3 per 1,000 births, but one in 1,000 births for those born at home.

In the UK, even with careful selection of low-risk mothers for home delivery, a third of women who plan a home birth end up being transferred to hospital due to complications.

Dannii's labour failed to progress because the baby was in the occipito-posterior position (back-to-back) - the most common cause of delay in first labours.

Do try this at home: Demi Moore (left) gave birth to her children at home, as did Davina McCall. But while every woman should have the right to choose how she gives birth, it's important to consider the health risks


It is very difficult for the baby to move through the birth canal in this position, which can be excruciatingly painful for the mother.

Birth is a dynamic process, and how it progresses depends on the baby ' s size, the strength of the muscular contractions of the womb and the mother's weight.

Ten per cent of babies turn back round by themselves, but in the other cases we have to intervene or the baby will not come out.

Sometimes we give drugs that make the contractions strong, and this is enough. In other cases an epidural - an anaesthetic injection into the spine that numbs the lower half of the body - helps the mother's pelvic floor muscles relax so that the baby rotates naturally.

If labour has progressed to the stage where the cervix is fully open, and the mother is pushing but the baby won't deliver, options include manual rotation of the head or help with a ventouse suction device or forceps. In some cases, none of these approaches work so we have to deliver the baby by caesarean section.

The biggest problem, even with the most carefully planned home birth, are the complications which need medical interventions within minutes but can not be predicted.

Shoulder dystocia (when the baby's head has delivered but the shoulders are stuck in the birth canal) and babies who fail to breathe because of the cord round the neck which tightens just before birth, are examples.

It is mandatory that all health professionals involved in maternity care work together to provide for a happy and saf e birth.

And all mothers should be aware of the potential risks and benefits of the choices they make.
