Is a life of crime about to pay off for Joe Giudice and his family? Again?
A day after Joe and Teresa Giudice banked $75,000 for posing on Us Weekly (with Teresa donning prison garb, naturally), insiders confirm that the family is in negotiations with E! on another reality series.
It would reportedly feature Joe and his four daughters (Gia, Milania, Gabriella and Audriana) adjusting to life at home with their prime money maker loved one around.
Joe, of course, is scheduled to serve over 40 months in prison himself once Teresa goes free.
Talks are in the very early stages, but we can confirm the series would be separate from any future seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
The future of that show and Teresa's place on it remain in the air at this time.
According to E! - which has also greenlit a show called Dash Dolls about employees of the Kardashians, proving it has no shame or semblance of good taste - Joe is on board with his own series.
Teresa is actually the one hesitating at the moment, wanting to learn as much as she can before signing off on the project.
In other words: show her the money, producers, and then she'll gladly sign on the dotted line.
Once that happens, Joe Giudice will immediately get added to this list of reality stars:
Jon Gosselin is one of the most frequent results if you run a Google image search on "reality TV douchebag." True story.
Vanderpump Rules' Jax Taylor is perhaps the biggest d-bag on reality TV. It's a bold statement, but he continues to lower the bar on a weekly basis.
Spencer Pratt is, in a sense, the man all fame-grubbing reality TV douchebags of today are measured against. A trailblazing antagonist on The Hills, Pratt redefined the role of reality TV villain, eventually wearing out his welcome and blowing through $10 million with his constant scheming and publicity whoring before exiling himself to his parents' guest house with wife Heidi Montag.
Mike Sorrentino, a.k.a. The Situation from Jersey Shore, may be as full of himself as any man who has ever lived. So important was Sitch, in the mind of Sitch, that his nickname had a nickname and everything he did had to be an acronym or catch phrase. Many of which were hilarious, granted. But still ... total douche.

Adam Lind of Teen Mom 2 is basically a terrible boyfriend, father, and human being in general who has tormented Chelsea Houska (and viewers) from the get-go on the MTV reality staple.
Dean McDermott has really entered the upper echelon of this category since his cheating ways have been exposed and recounted ad nauseam on True Tori.
Definitely the biggest douche ever to be named The Bachelor, and one of the biggest in all of reality TV history.
Tom Sandoval from Vanderpump Rules is an epic d-bag. He and Jax Taylor could win any two-man douche competition in existence. Fortunately no such thing exists ... yet. That would make a good show, Bravo.

There's a lot to like about Adam Levine, honestly. It's just that after five hours a week on TV and every freaking second on the radio, you start to focus more on the d-bag qualities just beneath (or on) the surface.
We thoroughly enjoy Scott Disick's comic relief on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons, and Kourtney's far from perfect herself, but Lord D. exhibits some major d-bag qualities from time to time.
One word says it all: JEAH.
He mellowed out slightly in later seasons, and showed some signs of personal growth, but there was no one douchier than Slade Smiley during his early tenure on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Come on. Just look at the man.
Nothing Jesse James did on Monster Garage was that bad, but off the set, he cheated on America's Sweetheart Sandra Bullock (and later Kat Von D) numerous times and has posed for several Nazi-themed photos. Good riddance.
Most people considered d-bags are male, but when you are universally disliked, obnoxious, full of yourself and synonymous with "Momager," well, you're in the club, Kris Jenner.
Donald Trump of The Apprentice fame is pretty much the personification of the term.

Hank Baskett never struck us as a douchebag, but as the new season of Kendra on Top has taught us, the dude has easily crossed that threshold.
Apollo Nida is such a douche that society decided he needed to be locked up for eight years to think about his douchey actions. Phaedra Parks' ex is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence for fraud, but we like to think the judge threw the book at him for 4 million counts of being a D-bag.
Teresa is another real-life villainess who proves that you don't need to be a man to be both a douche bag AND a felon. Teresa was despised by fans and castmates alike long before she was convicted of fraud, and soon she'll have the pleasure of working her charm on a group of gals who know how to make shivs out of toothbrushes. That should end well!
John Rocker was the pitcher fans loved to hate during his stint as a major league baseball player. Now that he's a contestant on the 29th season of Survivor, a whole generation is getting a taste of Rocker's douchey way.

We've saved the original reality douche bag for last. Simon is the ultimate D-bag, not because he crushed so many dreams during his eight seasons as a judge on American, but because he seemed to take so much pleasure in it.
Patti Stanger, the Millionaire Matchmaker, sets up rich d-bags on dates for a living, yet none of the relationships actually work and her entire show seems more like a vanity project for her massive ego, so she makes the list.
The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills (sorry, #RichKids of Beverly Hills) is a show basically created around the fact that they are all douchebags. So take your pick of the crew.
