    Celebrity News: Teresa Giudice Says She’s No Longer ‘Physically Attracted’ to Husband Joe By Hope Ankney In the latest celebrity news, reality TV star Teresa Giudice opened up about her marriage to estranged husband Joe during the reunion of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. According to UsMagazine.com, she was anything, but gentle. Andy Cohen asked her back in October if she was still attracted to her ex- husband, and she said she wasn’t. In the previews of the episode, he asked her again, months later, and she was still firm about having no physical attraction to him. She even went as far as to say that Joe wanted to have sex on their trip to Italy and that she was thankful for her youngest daughter sleeping in the bed with her every night. “It was a good c—kblocker.” In celebrity news, Teresa Giudice is no longer attracted to her husband. What do you do to get the spark back in your relationship? Cupid’s Advice: Sometimes, the attraction that you have for your partner can fade.

  • Top Ten Most Down-To-Earth Celebrity Wives
    Top Ten Most Down-To-Earth Celebrity Wives By Katie Gray It’s wonderful to know that there are still kind-hearted, charitable and polite people in the world! When it comes to Hollywood and celebrities in the public eye, there are frequently discussions centering around which stars are down to earth and which are not. Ever wonder which celebrity wives are the sweetest? Cupid has the top ten most down-to-earth: 1. Miranda Lambert: Country cutie Miranda Lambert is not only a talented singer/songwriter, but she is also extremely charitable. Lambert is an animal activist and started MuttNation Foundation to raise awareness for shelter pets and to improve existing shelters. Frequently, she rescues dogs and has taken an active role in finding pets the homes they deserve. The country singer is married to fellow country singer, Blake Shelton and remains down to earth even after her enormous success; she still enjoys a nice BBQ, a cold beer, hunting and having friends and family by her side. This southern belle truly embodies southern hospitality, manners and values. 2. Sarah Jessica Parker: The Sex and the City actress is known for being stylish and fabulous, just like Carrie Bradshaw, the iconic character she portrayed. However; Parker has even more to offer. On top of being a successful actress, she is a model and has her own shoe collection. There are numerous reports of encounters that civilians and celebrities have had with the star, and they are all extremely positive. The Emmy winning actress is married to fellow actor Matthew Broderick and is a proud mom to the three children they have together.
