(CBS) Are two stars of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" getting pink slips?

A new report says that while all five women (Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile) are currently filming the show's fourth season, Manzo and Laurita have not been asked back for a fifth.

"Jacqueline and Caroline were told months ago that they wouldn't be returning for a fifth season if they didn't bring the drama," a network insider told The Huffington Post. "This season has been dominated by Melissa [Gorga] and Teresa [Giudice] drama and season four, that they are filming right now, is going to be no different."

The website also reports that Laurita refused to attend the reunion taping for the season currently airing on Bravo.

A Bravo spokesperson told The Huffington Post that no casting decisions have been made: "Bravo is not firing anyone from 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' ... All five cast members will be featured on season four. No decisions have been made about season five at this time."

Meanwhile, Giudice took to her blog on Bravo's website to say she wasn't aware that her co-stars had turned on her (last Sunday, Laurita called her "scum" on Twitter, claiming she spread false rumors about her sister-in-law).

"The whole time we were filming, I had no idea what other people were saying about me. I just assumed they were all my friends," she wrote on Tuesday.

Tell us: Do you think Manzo and Laurita should be fired?
