Need a little Real Housewives gossip to hold you over until the premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey next week? Here's what the ladies have been up to lately:

Count on the Countess

Money can't buy you class, but it sure can buy another season of The Real Housewives of New York City for LuAnn de Lesseps. According to The Hollywood Reporter, LuAnn and co-star Aviva Drescher have finally agreed on contracts with Bravo for season 6. The two will join all of the other women -- Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson and Ramona Singer -- in filming right away.

THR does indicate, however, that LuAnn will have less of a role in the upcoming season (like she didn't already?). But let's all hope that she'll have enough screen time to drop her next single.

Support for Tamra

After coming out about her suicide attempt on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Barney was very thankful to her fans that tweeted her words of encouragement.

"I know so many can relate. Always remember, 'strong is the new skinny.' Life is never easy," she tweeted. "Thank you Andy [Cohen] for allowing me to share my life. The good, the bad, the ugly. I truly love you."


Go Directly to Jail, Do Not Pass Go

The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members have been facing some legal battles lately after a brawl broke out in a Posche store earlier this year, but the NJ tale as old is time is the ballad of Juicy Joe.

Teresa Giudice's husband, Joe Guidice (aka Juicy Joe), will stand trial for obtaining a false driver's license using fraudulent documents on July 15, according to The New Jersey Record. If convicted, Joe could face up to 10 years in prison.
