Teresa Giudice is the star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the highest-rated Real Housewives franchise for all demographics with more than 4.6 million viewers; it has twice the viewership of The Real Housewives of New York. Teresa's official website, www.TeresaGiudice.com, receives more than 13 million hits a month.

Teresa is the real deal, married to her childhood sweetheart, Joe, for 10 years, and the proud mother of 4 gorgeous girls. She's also a real inspiration to millions of women: still doing all her own cooking, cleaning and childrearing. Her first book, Skinny Italian, which was released by Hyperion on May 4, 2010, and climbed to #4 on the "New York Times" bestseller list, is the best-selling "Housewife" book in history.

Appearing on the cover of the cover of People magazine and US Weekly twice, Teresa is regularly featured in InStyle, InTouch, Life & Style, OK magazine, the New York Daily News and even Italian Vogue. She's had her own column in OK magazine, "Teresa's Culture Vulture," and she starred in People's special "Babies of the Year '09" section, featuring celebrity moms and their kids. That Teresa was listed next to Katie Holmes and Halle Berry is a testament to her popularity and star power. Teresa is a blogger for Bravotv.com as well as for People.com.

Teresa is also a veteran of live television appearances. She was on "Live with Regis and Kelly" a record four times, as well as "The Rachel Ray Show," NBC's TODAY show, "The Wendy Williams Show," Nightline, EXTRA, and The Insider. She guest-starred on an episode of NBC's primetime drama "Mercy" as well as on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?". She regularly stars in sold-out speaking appearances around the country.

Teresa Giudice is fearless, fashionable and a force to be reckoned with. After earning a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management from Berkeley College, Teresa worked in the fashion industry in New York as an accessories buyer for Macy's. She was recently named No. 27 on InStyle magazine's 2009 Style 100 List.
