She may be facing up to 50 years in jail, but Teresa Giudice still has a business empire to run.

Despite facing time behind bars after being charged with 39 counts of financial fraud along with husband Joe Giudice, the 41-year-old has been carrying on as if its business as usual.

After appearing in smart court attire on Wednesday, it wasn't long before the Real Housewives star swapped her outfit for a typically gaudy ensemble to attend her own book launch later that day.

Teresa arrived at the Posche Boutique in New Jersey to promote her cooking book Fabulicious: On The Grill, as well as her own selection of alcoholic beverages.

Smiling and laughing the day away, the reality star appeared not to have a care in the world.

But just moments earlier Teresa arrived hand-in-hand with Joe before pleading not guilty to a host of federal fraud charges.

The pair made their pleas in U.S. District Court after passing through a gauntlet of news media outside the courthouse.

Neither are said to have spoke during the five-minute court proceeding, and their pleas were entered by their respective attorneys.

However it was a different story later when Teresa was all smiles with fans at her launch.

Just last week Teresa and Joe Giudice were in another joyous mood as they smiled for the cameras at an event at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida.

Teresa certainly stood out in a shimmering silver dress with matching strappy heels.

But neither Teresa nor Joe looked as if they had their ongoing court case on their mind as they posed at the event together. 

Meanwhile husband Joe covered his robust frame in a large pink shirt, and went for casual blue jeans.

Teresa took to her blog last week to tell fans that all she wants is 'family' and 'peace.'

'I really am trying to let things roll off my back,' she wrote on her post on Bravo.com.

She also made an attempt to shut down haters, not acknowledging any wrongdoing with regard to the the whirlwind of criminal charges that surrounds her and Joe.

'Insult me, make fun of me, do what you will. I'll keep being a 'good little girl,'' Giudice wrote.

The carefree tone of that comment seems to back up reports that Teresa is in a massive state of denial about the potential consequences of her criminal case.

'Teresa doesn't give a f-ck,' one source close to Giudice told RadarOnline.com.

'Teresa doesn’t think she’s going to go to jail,' the source added. 'Joe is going to take the fall for everything and Teresa knows it.'

According to the New York Daily News bosses at Bravo have been horrified by the bad publicity surrounding the Giudice family - the main stars on RHONJ.

And the network is said to be seriously considering cancelling the entire show.

Nobody wants to see their talent in this kind of a situation,' a network source told the paper.

Tentative plans for a spin off show have already been cancelled.

'They are not interested,' the insider explained. 'Bravo only spins off happy situations — marriages, baby news. Not prison.'
