Albie and Chris Manzo Get 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Spinoff, Dr. Drew Heading to HLN and More

by Chris Harnick, posted Nov 29th 2010 10:30AM

Albie and Chris ManzoAlbie and Chris Manzo are ready for their close-up on Bravo. The sons of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Caroline Manzo have begun work on a new spinoff, according to the New York Post.

The two Manzo brothers appeared on Bravo's 'The Millionaire Matchmaker' earlier this season, bringing in the show's highest ratings and getting a lot of female attention.

The New York Post reports that the brothers have signed a contract with Bravo and recently moved into their own place in Hoboken. "The boys were looking for some independence," a source told the Post. "They're getting a ton of attention from the ladies and needed their own space."

Bravo is staying mum on the topic, telling the Post they have "not made any announcement."

BRAVO has made an error...The only reason that episode of Matchmaker received such high ratings was because people wanted to see how badly these two mamma's boys got pushed around by Caroline, their mamma. Who wants to watch a show about these two? Albie is a cry baby who couldn't accept he failed out of law school. The other wants to open a stripper/car wash. What ambitions!? I do feel sorry for anyone that becomes a daughter in law to either of them. Following them around, that I would like to see.

Boys, I watched the show and it was boring! Do you ever make a decision on your own or does momma always tell you what to do? First season the viewers were told you were a lawyer. Then we find out you're just in college. As for the younger brother, that date you went on - - - ugh - - - you were so nervous and it appeared as if this was the first time you were on a date -----

Another reality show? WOW! Take a step back and look at what this country has become. A country full of brainless, mindless fools! And, women are to blame for this because the majority of men don't watch this nonsense! Watch the science channel or HGTV...get a life! Read a book!
