Filming is on hold for the 11 women who make up the casts of The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives of New Jersey -- but the drama is wilder than ever anyway. Behind the scenes, the New Yorkers haven't missed a chance to take a potshot at their New Jersey rivals, whose table-flipping finale drew a record 4.6 million viewers to the Bravo network. Not that the New York City housewives are jealous. "I think it was just a lot of theatrics," Countess LuAnn de Lesseps sniffed when Life & Style asked for her opinion of New Jersey's first season. "They created quite a spectacle." The two casts, she adds, can hardly be compared. "We're completely different," she tells Life & Style. "We live in two completely different worlds."

Those worlds are set to collide off camera this fall. New Yorkers Jill Zarin and Alex McCord will cross the Hudson River to confront Caroline Manzo and Teresa Giudice on their New Jersey home turf during a no-holds-barred debate at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, N.J. But who would win if it came to a real fight?

After weeks of mounting tension between Danielle Staub and sisters Caroline and Dina Manzo, all hell broke loose on the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion show on June 25. Caroline accused Danielle of doing something so horrible, she could never forgive her. Danielle blogged on BravoTV.com that all she'd done was "pass along a phone number to [Dina's ex-husband] to contact proper people," but Jacqueline Laurita -- who's married to the sisters' brother Chris -- tells Life & Style exclusively that what Danielle did was far worse.

"I don't think it was something as simple as giving a phone number out, but leave it to Danielle to try to downplay her whole dirty deed," Jacqueline says. "She's an angry, bitter person. She felt Dina rejected her, so she went out to destroy her!"

Life & Style has confirmed that The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita is about to give birth to her third child -- a son named Nicholas -- via c-section at a New Jersey hospital.

Jacqueline, 39, and her husband Chris, 43, already have two children, Ashley, 18, and CJ, 7. "I'm not even nervous anymore, I'm just so excited!" Jacqueline told Life & Style last night.

"She is having the baby as we speak!" Jacqueline's sister-in-law and Housewives co-star, Caroline Manzo, tells Life & Style. "The family is very excited. This has been a long journey for Jacqueline, and we are all thrilled for her. We cannot wait to meet our new little Nicholas!"

Congrats to the happy family!
