The Real Housewife is now a real jailbird. Reality TV star Teresa Giudice surrendered to authorities early Monday to begin serving 15 months at a Connecticut federal prison on fraud charges. The 42-year-old and her husband, Joe, pleaded guilty in March to hiding assets from bankruptcy court and submitting bogus loan applications to obtain some $5 million in mortgages and construction loans.
