Don't be tardy for more 'Dina's Party.' HGTV has ordered 13 more episodes of the party-planning reality series with former 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Dina Manzo.

"Dina's enthusiastic fan base has followed her to HGTV and embraced her entertaining new series," Kathleen Finch, general manager of HGTV, said in a statement. "She really knows how to take a special moment and translate it into an unforgettable party."

Chances are you know Dina Manzo from her time on Bravo's 'Real Housewives of New Jersey.' It's hard to forget her feud with Danielle Staub, the resulting drama -- table flips, gag orders and so much more -- and Manzo's famous exit from the reality series, which was attributed to Staub's antics.

However, it's been more than a year since Manzo said goodbye to 'Housewives' and reality TV as a whole, but when HGTV came a-callin', Manzo said she couldn't refuse their call.

"When I left 'Housewives' I had no intentions of coming back on TV at all," Manzo told AOL TV. "This opportunity came to me and I spoke with my husband and I said, 'You know, not for nothing, I love HGTV. This is what I love to do and you know how happy event planning makes me.'"

With her husband's blessing and the assurance her family and foundation wouldn't be affected by the series, Manzo said it was an easy decision. "I said 'Why not?' I love what I do, I love my team."

A familiar face to reality TV viewers will pop up on the Aug. 15 episode of 'Design Star.' Ex-'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Dina Manzo will help Vern Yip and Genevieve Gorder judge the '24-Hour Wedding' challenge.

A party-planner, Dina's profession and skill will come in handy judging the contestants who must create a fantasy wedding reception based on the wishes of the bride and groom.

The contestants will have to use the couple's theme and color, as well as deal with seating, lighting and space planning arrangements all within 24-hours.

Following the 'Design Star' (Mon., 9PM ET on HGTV) episode will be a sneak peek of Dina's new HGTV party-planning series 'Dina's Party' (sneak peek Aug. 15, 10PM on HGTV).

"We throw a party a week at people's homes," Dina told AOL TV. "We completely transform these everyday houses of all sizes and all shapes, into a great party.
