Danielle Staub: Did you miss her on "Housewives"?

The Bravo show's third season opened Monday night without the 48-year-old, Wayne, N.J, star who allowed cameras to her reconstructive surgery on breast augmentation gone bad. She also is accused of leaking her own sex tape,

Staub predicts ratings will tank without her. "I brought the [drama]," she told E! Online of the third season. "People either loved me or hated me, but they were paying attention."

She also is working with fellow reality stars Jake Pavelka ("The Bachelor") and Heidi Montag ( "The Hills") on a food-related show for VH1.
