When the current baktun of the Mayan calendar comes to a close on December 21, 2012, many prophecies say the world will end.

Mind you, this prophecy comes from a race of people who couldn't predict their own civilization's end, so how credible are they in predicting the end of the world in our time?

The sun will rise and life will probably go on as usual tomorrow, but for now we've come up with a list of celebrities that -- if the world does end -- you won't miss.

Like Kim Kardashian, above.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Melissa Gorga went undercover for "Entertainment Tonight" wearing a fat suit to get a crowd reaction in Times Square, New York City, today.

Tensions rose during the reunion episode, which aired last night on Bravo. Things got heated when Caroline Manzo criticized Teresa Giudice over her marriage and her family's bankruptcy proceedings.

On part one of the reunion special, Melissa claimed Teresa warned her that people would make fun of her huge forehead.

"Real Housewives" Sonja Morgan of "New York" and Kathy Wakile of "New Jersey" were spotted at Chicago's chic TZAR Ultra Lounge on Friday October 7th before their appearance for Bravo's The Real Housewives Live Tour in Hammond, IN the next day.

keeps guests of the vault warm? Signature mink coats and extravagant cocktail creations.

We bet these housewives felt right at home.

In Punta the drama continues as Teresa continues to lament over Kathy’s comments that were taken out of context. It looks like Teresa is looking for a fight and wants to continue to hold a grudge against her saintly cousin. Kathy tries to reiterate to the group that her comment was not even aimed at Teresa but just how she felt in general and the group tells her not to worry, they know what she meant. Kathy still takes responsibility and Ritchie tries to smooth things over with Joe Guidice and it seems like Joe doesn’t want to deal with the problem or his wife anymore, as he is sick over h...

Jersey’s Laurita, cites her waning sanity as her reason for leaving the show Tweeting, “I can’t be a part of the Charade anymore. It’s unsettling. It’s disturbing & against what I stand for. I’m a REAL housewife."

Jacqueline, who debuted a sexy post-baby body this season due in part to Medifast, followed up her Tweet with her expectations of the future, “I’d like to only focus on positive things now please. I threw...

This week’s episode of the Jersey Housewives explored innuendos, innocence insensitivity touching more nerves than one person can take. One thing always seems to be a constant on the housewives series and tonight’s episode was no exception as it focused on the never-ending Gorga-Guidice feud at Miliana’s fifth birthday party and the a charity 5k run that got the whole cast involved leading to more drama adding fuel to the fire that has been ignited by the housewives themselves.

With over 800 RSVP's to see "The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Teresa Giudice at Water Tower Place's In Fashion Lounge, it's no wonder this Magnificent Mile shopping center chose Teresa as the star attraction for their Fashion's Night Out in Chicago. Teresa, in the Windy City to mingle with fans and sign copies of her latest cook book "Fabulicious", took time before greeting her swarm of anxious followers to talk with Starpulse about everything from her favorite shopping tips to her best recipes to make the perfect Italian dinner, Jersey style.

Tis the season to be catty? The Jersey housewives brought out the tinsel and the drama in last night’s installment of the hit series. It’s Christmas time in Jersey and as always family and chaos is the name of the game. These Jersey ladies don’t seem to do anything easily. We find each of the wives finding their own ways to celebrate the festivities. Jacqueline finds herself in the position of the “ hostess with the mostess” as she organizes a family gathering for the Laurita’s and the Manzo’s and a reunion between the Guidice's and the Gorga's to promote peace on earth and goodwill towa...

The Jersey housewives continue trying to heal old wounds and not creating new ones; the episode is laden with bullets, booze, and ballroom. The episode begins where the last one left off with the confrontation between Melissa and Teresa and the argument over who started it first and how they are going to finish it. Teresa takes Jabs at Melissa over money issues and Melissa tells Teresa not to go there, she should be the last person to talk about money. After running out of things to rehash and argue about Melissa and Teresa agree on one thing it’s about family. They agree to try to make th...

My idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon is diving on the couch and into a marathon of high-brow hijinks provided by my favorite guilty pleasure reality show, “The Real Housewives.” For five years, the mad scientists at Bravo have provided us with caviar and crazy, Fendi and frenemies with the Housewives franchise, which follows the glamorous and scandalous lives of rich wives in the country’s biggest and trendiest locales such as Orange County, Calif., Atlanta, Ga., and New Jersey.

On May 16, Bravo’s premiere of the third season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” brought in a record-br...

The number one thing you need to watch this week is “Glee” because after months of speculation, viewers will finally find out which cast member they will say goodbye to forever. That’s right; in case you haven’t heard, one of McKinley High’s own will face an unexpected loss. Cast and crew have been tight-lipped about who is dying, but viewer guesses include Sue’s sister, Puck and Quinn’s daughter, or Kurt’s dad. Of course, this doesn’t mean it couldn’t be one of the regular cast members; ugh, I cringed at the thought!

"Real Housewife" Danielle Staub took her "talents" to WPIX11's morning news show and "sang" her new tune Real Close while accompanied by a few male dancers and her alleged girlfriend Lori Michaels. Unfortunately for us, neither Simon Cowell nor the judges from America's Got Talent were there to stop her.

The performance comes the night after the Real Housewives of New Jersey finale, in which she was called "garbage" by fellow housewife Caroline and then walked out on the show - rumors say she was fired. Danielle and Lori are sporting some white "Danielle's Mafia"...

Bravo Reality Star Danielle Staub apparently has been working overtime with a camera. TMZ earlier today reported that Hustler Inc. will be releasing a 75 minute sex tape of the Real Housewives New Jersey star on June 24 and which will be available for presale Monday June 14.

Apparently this is a mystery man in this new video and Staub is aware of the tapes existence. "She knows it's being released, it was shopped to Hust...

"Real Housewives" star Kelly Killoren Bensimon showed up at the "Brooklyn's Finest" New York City premiere yesterday wearing do-me stockings that make us think she's a little bit naughty!

In honor of this third spin-off (the "original" was Orange County, fan favorite Atlanta recently wrapped its second season and is due back on air after Jersey finishes), check out the b...
