She'll Be Back! Teresa Giudice Already Filming Next Season Of 'RHONJ,' Demands Four Daughters Get Paid Top-Dollar

Teresa Giudice may be headed to prison, but Real Housewives of New Jersey fans will still be able to catch the convicted felon's pretty face during her 15 months behind bars.

RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that the 42-year-old has already begun filming for the 7th season of the Bravo reality hit as she preps for her prison intake on January 5.

"It was a no brainer for Teresa to decide to do the show, because she obviously needs the money to pay off mounting debts," a source tells RadarOnline.com of the reality star, who was infamously sentenced along with boozy husband Joe last month after pleading guilty to fraud charges. "The producers were thrilled, because it will result in a ratings bonanza."

RadarOnline.com can also report that Giudice is also insisting that her four precocious daughters— blossoming pop star Gia, 13, and younger girls Gabriella, 9, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5— be paid for their time on camera.

"Teresa is using the girls as leverage to get more money," a source tells RadarOnline.com. "She knows viewers will want to see how they are coping with the fallout from their parents' legal problems."

However, the source adds, Giudice and producers have yet to come to an agreement on the girls' paychecks.

As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, the star will also be featured on a holiday special to say goodbye to fans before she begins her sentence.
