Sideshow: ‘Housewives’ Teresa Giudice heads home for the holidays
She'll be home for Christmas
Dec. 23 is the day Teresa Giudice (Real Housewives of New Jersey) gets out of the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn., done with her 15-month sentence for fraud. Bravo won't film the release. She, hubby Joe, and their four daughters will be together for the holiday. But in March, Joe goes in for his own scheduled 41-month stint - at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, the same one now holding Apollo Nida of Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Adele, AC/DC to hit Philly!
Philly and environs, still jazzed that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will plow through Wells Fargo on Feb. 12, now stagger at word of two more big-
time tours.
On Monday, Adele, yes, Adele, announced a 56-date U.S. tour (her first here in five years), including two stops at the Wells Fargo Center on Sept. 9 and 10. Hello from the other side! Tickets ($39.50-$149.50) go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday at www.ComcastTIX.com or 800-298-4200.
Not to be outdone, rock vets AC/DC also announced they're coming, also to Wells Fargo, also their first in five years, at 8 p.m. on April 1, and that's no fooling. Tickets ($75-$139.50) go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, also at www.ComcastTIX.com or 800-298-4200.
Can Philly stand so much pop bliss in one year? Can the Wells Fargo Center? Can we?

You were what you eat
This just in: Kim Kardashian plans to eat her placenta. It will be her second: She also dined on afterbirth after birthing North, her first child by hubby Kanye West.
