We guess the much-anticipated showdown between Caroline Manzo and Danielle Staub is still out of the cards, folks!

It's been long rumored that the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star, not-so-affectionately called a "Prostitution Whore" by Teresa Giudice in the table-flipping first season finale, might be showing up the reality show's fifth season in either part or full-time capacity, but according to new sources with the Bravo network…it AIN'T happening!

While Staub DID meet with Housewives head Andy Cohen, insiders explain:

“Danielle actually met with Andy Cohen on the (November) 17th to film a Watch What Happens Live segment like Jill Zarin did, but then she wanted to get paid, so I think they aren't going to do it now. Danielle just isn’t the direction the producers want to go.”

And despite the certain drama she'd no doubt bring, we can certainly understand why!

Gurlfriend's behavior during the second season got borderline SCARY!

Oh well, though!

With the now-confirmed return of Caroline and Kathy and potential newbies signing on, we're sure Teresa will have a castmember or two backing her up this time around..just one that isn't a potential liability for the series!

I'd like to see Andy Cohen work for free.

It is VERY CLEAR that no one wanted her to be on the show anyway.. People are done with her crazy. She was NOT fun to watch the first time she was on. Now if only Andy would get rid of Theresa the show would be good again.

I liked Danielle. I felt bad for her and thought those women were nasty to her, specifically Teresa (psycho) and bulldog Caroline. Thank God Danielle knows the secret to happiness is AVOIDING bullies and egomaniacs. Cut the ties girl! Maybe Halle Berry could take her place, as she would fit in. Andy Cohen pisses me off, Real Housewives is a playing ground for bullies and nothing else. Peace

I disagree that Danielle was scary. It was PSYCHO TERESA that was scary and Caroline just mean and bullish. Danielle wanted to be friends and get along - she just didn't know the enormous egos and nastiness of Teresa and Caroline

I completely stopped watching the Real Housewives of NJ when Danielle left. I don't understand why she was considered the crazy one in the show as opposed to Teresa! The other housewives were always ganging up on Danielle, in my opinion.

Where do you get these stories about the show? You'll post something - and then say the opposite a short time later. So many of the stories you post about Housewives staying and leaving, turn out to be totally false.

the idiots at Bravo got lucky with RH but now they are sucking the life out of the shows with fake trips and set up, scripted SCENES. Worst of all, they are dumping or losing the cast members who actually have REAL DRAMA: Danielle Staub, Jill Zarin, Cedric Martinez, Bethany Frankel, Kim Zolziak, etc. Has anyone watch RHOBH this season? It is BY FAR the WORST season of any season on any version of RH — including D.C.!!!! Awful, fake and B-O-R-I-N-G!

Good. I hope Carolying Clownzo is not returning either. They need new blood like no other on that show.

In a new report out in Us Weekly released over the weekend, it appears the Cleveland Cavaliers player had an "inappropriate encounter" with two women during NBA All-Star Weekend back in February... when Khloé Kardashian would have been well into her pregnancy with daughter True Thompson back at home.

According to the report, Thompson was seen "getting cozy" with models Jasmine Rose and Maya Nova James out in El Lay on February 16, and a source has revealed all about the incident (below):
