Could Dina Manzo Make a RHONJ Comeback?

Caroline's little sister is "open" to the idea.

By Lauren Metz


Alert the welcome wagon: former New Jersey Housewife Dina Manzo could be back for another run.

Now that Danielle Staub's left the Bravosphere, Dina confessed to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she'd consider making face time in Franklin Lakes once more. "I'm open," she says of a potential Real Housewives of New Jersey return. "Yes, I'd come back for an appearance or two."

Why not more? Because she's booked. Since leaving RHONJ due to her, um, strained relationship with Danielle, Dina's landed another reality gig -- her own show airing this September on HGTV. Called Dina's Party, the owner of Designer Affairs and her event planning crew will stage events ranging from extravagant baby showers to lavish weddings. "[Dina's] Real Housewives fans will be very surprised to see this side of her," HGTV general manager Kathleen Finch said in a statement.

But before stepping in front of the Bravo cameras again, Dina spilled one change that's a must. "I need to learn not to chomp on some Jersey gum on TV. You can take a girl outta Jersey but you can't take the Jersey outta the girl can ya?" she tweeted after hanging out in the clubhouse.
