Joe Giudice to Appear in Basking Ridge

 in The Hills is throwing a St. Patrick's Day open house Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to debut the salon's new spa services, but a big part of the fun is an expected appearance by Towaco resident Joe Giudice, husband of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Teresa Giudice.

Giudice's appearance between about 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. was arranged by Stephen Marinaro, a stylist at the salon and celebrity blogger The Salon Guy. Marinaro said he has interviewed the women on the "Real Housewives" series, and he recently appeared on "Jerseylicious."

Joe Giudice will be promoting his wife's tooth-whitening product, Pearlbrite, Marinaro said. Marinaro said he had originally hoped that Teresa would be showing up as well, but he understands that she will be filming. However, he said at least some of the couple's daughters are supposed to accompany their dad.

Pete Czajkowski, manager at the salon, said he was told that Giudice would be showing up with an "entourage."

Czajkowski said the St. Patrick's Day open house will highlight Kaleidoscope's new spa, which offers facials, massage, pedicures and other "body wellness" treatments.

Goodie bags for early arrivals and samples of wine and Irish beer are among the over giveaways and festivities planned for the day.
