A "Real Housewives of New Jersey"-inspired table-flipping contest -- hosted by table-flipping queen Teresa Giudice -- just got tossed ... after Bravo put the kibosh on the event.
The owner of The Funkey Monkey in Delaware tells TMZ ... just as they green lit the table-flipping contest for Teresa's appearance Saturday, Bravo caught wind of it and shut it down.
A rep for Bravo tells us the network has a hands-off policy regarding personal appearances -- but according to inside sources Teresa was told the contest might be a dumb PR move ... so she'd be better off not flaunting her famous Season 1 move (see video).
The club's owner tells us they've reached a compromise -- a look-alike contest. Nevertheless, he concedes, "I can't help it if the [look-alikes] get on the stage and flip tables."

Enough with the fat chicks!

The skanks and sluts on Maurey and Springer are more "real" than these creatures. How can people stand to watch this **** for more than two minutes?

Ironic that the 2head broad who looks like she is from the planet of the apes had a gig at the "Funky Monkey".

I wonder how many men will enter the look-a-like contest? A guy will win it for sure!
ugly as sin
OMG I can't stand that bitch. Any contest she is involved in should be held at the DOGPOUND. AND don't get me started on Carolyn Manzo. Makes me want to puke everytime she opens her mouth!!!

Thats how they entertain themselves in Jersey. Flipping tables. They also enjoy going to the zoo to watch monkeys masturbate. There classy in Jersey.

There are so many things wrong with this I don't know where to start!!!
First, how old is this lady? Way too old to be behaving like a college student.
Secondly, who has poor taste and bad behavior and then wants to repeat it in public as a gag?!!!
Considering what kind of crowd this would have drawn in, why would anyone want to hang out with bunch of drunk twenty-somethings or mid-lifer's clinging to their youth hootin' and hollorin' with a beer in their hand.
Lastly, isn't she milking this whole Housewives bit much now? Its like a side show, a circus, a freak show, the boardwalk, if you will.

Such a classy event! It suits Teresa well. What's next? Penthouse?

Bravo has become the low-class network.
It's only going to get worse, judging from the new "reality" shows they have planned.
Remember when Bravo used to air quality shows?
