Teresa Giudice heads off to prison, Emma Stone spends another two weeks Bowles-ing, Cameron and Benji wed?
ORANGE never was a good color for the "Real Housewives" Teresa Giudice.
But that may be her new color, as she has gone to the big house.
And that's not a McMansion.
The "RHONJ" star yesterday entered the Federal Correctional Institution at Danbury, an all-women's facility about 90 miles north of NYC, a spokesman for the institution confirmed.
Teresa is serving a 15-month sentence for bankruptcy fraud.
"Teresa's only concern is and has been that of her four children," her attorney, James Leonard, said in an email yesterday. "I know that she was anxious to get in and get this entire nightmare behind her so that she can return home to her family."
Her husband, Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, will start his 41-month sentence on similar charges when Teresa is released.
They pleaded guilty last year to hiding assets from bankruptcy creditors and submitting phony loan applications to get some $5 million in mortgages and construction loans.
Joe also pleaded guilty to failing to pay taxes totaling more than $200,000.
Joe is not an American citizen, and he faces an immigration hearing when he completes his sentence and is expected to be deported to Italy.
His attorney has said that Joe came to the United States as an infant and didn't know he wasn't an American citizen until he was an adult (when he chose to do nothing about it).
Joe also pleaded guilty in state court in October in a case of driver's-license fraud. That 18-month sentence will run concurrently with his federal sentence.
Last month, Teresa sued her former attorney James Kridel, whose firm handled the couple's bankruptcy case, alleging legal malpractice and negligence.
"We did what we were supposed to do," Kridel said. "We can only rely on the facts that were provided to us. I don't wish her any ill will, but I would have preferred a 'thank you' rather than a lawsuit."
Wouldn't we all.
TATTBITS
* Emma Stone is extending her stay in the current Broadway revival of "Cabaret."
Roundabout Theatre said yesterday that Emma will now star as Sally Bowles for an additional two weeks, through Feb. 15.
No word yet on who will replace her.
How about Laverne Cox?
* Police are investigating the theft of a bronze plaque from a monument at Mark Twain's gravesite in Elmira, N.Y., (where Tattle will pass through next week on the way to the Penn-Niagara basketball game).
The superintendent of Woodlawn Cemetery said yesterday that the 12-by-12-inch likeness of the American writer was likely stolen between Christmas and New Year's Day.
The plaque was one of two on a 12-foot-tall, 78-year-old granite monument commissioned by Twain's daughter Clara.
The other plaque, of Clara's husband, was untouched.
Really? No one took the plaque of the non-famous person?
But if the thief brings back the plaque, Tattle will ask for Clemens-y.
* As Tattle hit deadline last night, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden were reportedly marrying in Beverly Hills.
So said People.
A tip-off?
Celeb wedding planner Yifat Oren, who planned the couple's rehearsal dinner and who has planned weddings for Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman and
Diaz's BFF Drew Barrymore, was spotted arriving at their home yesterday.
And there was a huge tent on the property.
Our first guess would have been a big-screen viewing party for "The Bachelor."
