NeNe Leakes On Her Way To An Emmy Award For Playing Roz Washington On GLEE

Roz Washington Confronting
Sue Slyvester About Baby Making

After Tuesday night's second appearance on GLEE by NeNe Leakes, playing synchronized swimming coach, Roz Washington, it appears NeNe is on the fast track for a Supporting Actress in a Comedy Emmy Award.

On the Watch What Happens Live episode which followed this week's 2nd part of the multi-part Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Fight Fest, Ryan Murphy, he being the writer, producer, director responsible for the musical phenomenon known as GLEE, said NeNe delivered her rant at Sue Sylvester in one perfect take that had the crew cheering.

Murphy said a cheering reaction to a performance is very rare on the GLEE set. He also said that NeNe has a natural comedic gift.

As annoying as NeNe can be on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, I can see where she does have a bit of a natural comedic gift, when she's not in Angry Woman Mode.

The poll question on Watch What Happens Live asked which other Housewife would viewers like to see on GLEE.

If I remember right, to my shock and horror, the repulsively reptilian Kyle Richards of Beverly Hills came in first, with Kim Zolciak, of Atlanta, second. Murphy said he is considering writing a part for Kim. That should be interesting. To make it less of an acting stretch he can write a fight for Kim and NeNe.

On The Real Housewives of Atlanta Marlo Brings Bad-Mannered Crazy to Capetown South Africa

NeNe Trying To Calm Down Marlo
 Before She Slices Anyone

I really need an intervention to break me of my addiction to Train Wreck Reality TV.

The fact that, not only did I watch Sunday night's latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, I found myself laughing multiple times,which possibly should be cause for concern.

It has now become a staple of the various Bravo Real Housewive's series to have the girls take a trip to some exotic locale.

The pretense is always that it is one of the housewife's who instigates these trips, not the Bravo producers.

In the last season of The Real Housewives of New York it was Countess LuAnn, who I don't think could plan a shopping trip to Wal-Mart, who supposedly instigated and planned a trip for the New York girls to visit Morocco. Including LuAnn, supposedly, organizing a group camel ride to an elaborate tent in the desert.

With the Atlanta housewives it is Phaedra who instigates, and supposedly, plans, a trip to Africa.

Yet, even though this is Phaedra's trip, somehow NeNe brings along the troublemaker Marlo, with Phaedra having no say in the matter.

Obviously, due to the likely fact that Marlo was added to the trip by the Bravo producers to add drama potential.

Afterall, Marlo is a woman convicted of multiple felonies, including slicing up a woman with whom Marlo got in a bar fight.

It was a long flight from Atlanta to Capetown, South Africa.

Marlo and NeNe brought enough luggage to stock a Goodwill Store.

Upon arrival in their humongous luxury suites Marlo proceeded to act crazy with her demands of the suffering concierge.

NeNe was surprised that Capetown was modern. Like America. I guess she was expected grass huts.

The pretense is that this trip is Phaedra's. We do not seem to extend the pretense to Phaedra claiming to pay for it all. The luxury suites, the first class plane tickets, the yacht trip in the harbor, the upcoming safari.

With about 20 minutes to go in Sunday night's episode we saw clearly why the Bravo producers included Marlo.

After lecturing the housewives all day about proper etiquette, Marlo went totally off the Miss Manners farm when Cynthia instigated Marlo getting all upset over Sheree not inviting Marlo to a party, a party to which Sheree accepted an invitation prior to knowing Marlo would be along for the trip.

But, Miss Manners Marlo, who thinks nothing about crashing a trip uninvited, also thinks she should be included in going to a party to which she was not invited.

This led to what may be the weirdest screaming fight in Housewive's History. It was between the now totally ill-mannered Marlo, and Sheree.  Somehow Marlo not getting invited to a party quickly gave Marlo reason to make all sorts of insults regarding Sheree's financial state. Which had Sheree going on and on about Marlo sucking money from a 100 year old geezer.

The side comments, commenting on this fight, from Kandi, Sheree and NeNe, was what had me laughing. The details of which I no longer remember. Except for Kandi pointing out the irony of Miss Manners Marlo turning totally non-mannerly ghetto in a flash.

Eventually the screaming between Marlo and Sheree degrading down to this very strange thing where the two were making what sounded like bird noises at each other.

It is NeNe who is usually at the center, or the cause, of these type altercations. This time NeNe tried to stop the yelling. And actually made a comment along the line of if this is what I sound like when I argue, well this just sounds stupid.

Next week it looks like a turtle attacks the housewives when they are on safari. Maybe it was a rhinoceros.

NeNe Leakes Playing Synchronized Swim Coach Roz Washington on GLEE

Screen Cap of NeNe as Roz Washington on GLEE

A couple weeks ago when I learned that The Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe Leakes was going to be on GLEE, playing a swim coach, I thought it was just the work of some trouble causing troll trying to cause trouble on an Internet forum, making up something so ridiculous.

But, last night I saw and heard it with my own eyes and ears.

NeNe is on GLEE.

Not only was NeNe on GLEE, NeNe was quite good on GLEE. Very funny. Playing swim coach, Roz Washington.

NeNe's big scene was her reading the riot act to Sam Evans, newly on the William McKinley High Synchronized Swim Team, in his attempt to win a letter jacket so he can re-win the heart of Mercedes. I really don't understand a lot of the GLEE plot lines.

Anyway, NeNe, I mean, Roz Washington, berated Sam Evans (pasty white Chord Overstreet in real life) about having the biggest lips she's ever seen on a white boy. And crooked nipples. And empathized with Sam about how hard it must be to go through life with crooked nipples.

I have no idea what crooked nipples are.

Roz launched into having a dream. Very appropriate for the day after Martin Luther King Day. Roz insisted that Sam know she'd won the bronze medal for Individual Synchronized Swimming at the Beijing Olympics.

I can not picture NeNe in a swimming suit. I'm almost 100% we have not seen that on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

It may be amusing to watch and hear Roz Washington tangle with Sue Sylvester, a character who's character the writers of GLEE seem to alter with every episode.

If the NeNe we have come to know on The Real Housewives of Atlanta shows up on the GLEE set, NeNe's acting career will be short lived. I don't think a violent temper tantrum with strangling moves will go over well on the GLEE set. NeNe's is bigger than anyone on GLEE, I think. The cast will be terrified if NeNe goes into her Godzilla mode.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 4 Premiere Delivers Some Amusing Entertainment

Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta started up Sunday. The first episodes of this season's Real New York City and Beverly Hills Housewive's new seasons did not deliver, with the RHONY wives starting off being really annoying and really not stopping being really annoying all season long.

But.

The first episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta delivered, instantly re-hooking me into wanting to watch these ladies and their antics.

I somehow thought after NeNe's embarrassing fail on the Celebrity Apprentice, and watching herself embarrassingly fail, that NeNe might tone down that which makes NeNe come across as an overbearing loud bully. Last season's first episode had NeNe yelling, like a crazed banshee, at Dwight. This season's first episode had NeNe yelling like a  crazed banshee at Sheree.

I really could not understand what the beef was between NeNe and Sheree. In the midst of it NeNe was claiming to now be rich, due to cashing checks from Mr. Donald Trump. Sheree countered by reminding NeNe of the bad dental work she had when she first appeared in Atlanta. And that her vehicle had been repossessed at Home Depot.

When these women go into loud yell mode I have trouble understanding the version of English that they speak.

Before we heard NeNe yelling at Sheree we saw her take her deadbeat son, Bryson, or whatever his name is, to buy a new car. He'd wrecked his previous car. NeNe had given up on her deadline for the son to get a job and his own place to live and was now employing him to do errands for her, now that she is super rich from all those checks from Mr. Donald Trump.

In the first season of RHOA we saw NeNe and her then not estranged husband, Greg, take Bryson to buy a new car for him for his high school graduation present. That car must have been repossessed. And then he got another one that he wrecked.

So, NeNe wrote a check, paying cash, for a new car for her deadbeat son.

Phaedra delivered once again. After having a fun experience helping with her aunt's funeral, Phaedra has decided that undertaking will be her new undertaking. When Phaedra informed her husband, Apollo, that undertaking is a family business and he'd be expected to help, he did not seem too thrilled.

And then there is Kandi. She is now an Intimate Luxury Specialist, working towards selling her own line of high end adult toys. Including musical vibrators that play tunes Kandi has written, with the musical vibrators vibrating in sync with the tune. I was more than a little appalled that, as Sheree and Phaedra looked over some of Kandi's potential products, that one of them which baffled that pair, I knew how it was used.

Cynthia is opening the Bailey Modeling Agency to turn Atlanta into a world fashion mecca. A funny guy/girl, famous, I guess, in the modeling world, named, I think, Miss Jay, showed Cynthia's girls how to correctly work the runway. It was amusing. I like Cynthia.

Sheree did not seem to have a lot going on. She informed us she has been busy with her acting career. No mention made of her clothes line called She by Sheree.

And now that leaves my favorite of the Atlanta ladies.

Kim Zolciak.

Heavy with the incoming baby boy, brought courtesy of her assignation with fooballer, Kroy Biermann, Kim appears to have given up smoking and drinking wine. Kim and Kroy, Kim's girls and the incoming baby boy are in the process of moving to a massive mansion.

We saw Kroy doing a lot of heavy lifting, helping with the moving process. Kroy is only 25 years old. I think Kim must be in her 40s. Kim is one very lucky girl. Good fortune seems to fall her way quite easily. I hope it lasts.

There is a cute new addition to the Kim family. A little dog. Much cuter than Lisa Vanderpump's Giggy.

Of the Atlanta housewives the only dark negative hole of Jill Zarinesque-ness is NeNe. Among the Atlanta girls there is no mental ill creepy girl ala Kelly Bensimon. No dead humorless weight, like Cindy Barshop.

But, I can't imagine the Atlanta housewives without NeNe, as overbearingly annoying as she can be. The poor girl seems to have deluded herself to believe that all who find her a bit much are simply jealous of her stunning success and great wealth due to all those checks from Mr. Donald Trump. Those who don't care for NeNe's antics she calls "haters."

I don't care for NeNe's antics. But I don't hate her. I sort of feel sorry for her.

Wild Animal NeNe Leakes Battles Star Jones on The Celebrity Apprentice & Then Quits While Star Gets Fired

In the picture you are looking at a harping NeNe Leakes harping at a calm Star Jones on Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice mess.

NeNe had managed to keep in check her particular form of madness, until the beginning of last week's episode, when NeNe went in to her patented tirade mode, causing the jaws of Trump and his spawn to drop.

From that point on NeNe was full on in a one-way war with Star Jones. Star Jones is a highly educated, very articulate, very well behaved nice lady. Meanwhile NeNe Leakes is a street thug who packs whips and chains and an AK-47, and isn't ashamed to use them.

NeNe Leakes' charity on Celebrity Apprentice had something do with domestic violence. So, NeNe gave us object lessons as to what that type abuse is like.

At the start of this week's episode Trump took NeNe off Star's team of ASAP and moved her over to the Backbone team of LaToya Jackson, Lil' John and John Rich, while he moved Meatloaf from Backbone over to ASAP, to join Star and Marlee Matlin.

After the team switch, NeNe went into full NeNe mode. Accused Trump of playing favorites and caving to Star's demands. NeNe huffed off in a fit, leaving her teammates wondering where she was. Eventually NeNe let Trump know she was leaving the show. Much to Trump's disgust.

In Sunday's two part episode, 3 hour episode, LaToya was fired, gently in part one, with much praise from Trump, followed by Trump then directing loud words at NeNe, who was not in the Boardroom, saying he'd wrongly thought she had potential, that, "You're fired, and you're a quitter, and Star Jones kicked your ass whether you like it or not."

Then in Part Two Star Jones played it sly, thinking she was letting Meatloaf hang himself. When they lost the task there was a lot of yelling between Star and Meatloaf. I found it annoying because Star's points were valid, but she could not fully get them out due to all the interupting.

So, Trump fired Star Jones. I think mainly because she made a big fuss over Meatloaf calling her Sweetie. Again I saw Star's point.

And now, since the airing of Sunday's show NeNe and Star have been going at it in the press, with Star Jones eventually saying, "NeNe is like a wild animal."

I agree with that. I suspect Kim Zolciak would, as well.

I'm thinking NeNe's latest bad reality tv behavior should put an end to her 15 minutes. She used to be entertaining, til she let her inner she beast become her dominant personality trait.

The Celebrity Apprentice Interrupted by Obama due to Osama Killing While Hope Dworaczyk Was Fired

I know I said I was ceasing watching The Celebrity Apprentice after Trump fired Mark McGrath rather than Gary Busey.

I did not get to see the actual firing of McGrath or hear Trump's reasoning, due to a weather drama intervention.

And I forgot to stop my DVR from recording Trump's show.

And so I watched Gary Busey get fired. And LaToya Jackson, last week.

But, I did not get to see Hope Dworaczyk get fired this week due to NBC interupted with an announcement from the White House. This happened with about a half hour to go on the show. The DVR recording ran out before Obama finally went on the air to announce that Osama had been killed.

I had to go to the Internet to see who Trump fired.

The episode started with NeNe Leakes in full Real of Housewives of Atlanta mode, shouting at Star Jones. In front of Trump.

The challenge had something to do with hair.

At some point LaToya Jackson showed up at Trump's office to ask to be un-fired. Then in the boardroom LaToya made a dramatic entrance, with Trump announcing she was now on the men's team. Trump then asked LaToya about NeNe and what LaToya thought of Star Jones and Hope Dworaczyk. LaToya pretty much sounded verbatim just like NeNe regarding Star and Hope.

It was shortly after the entry of LaToya that NBC broke away for the incoming important announcement.

There is some conspiracy talk on the Interwebs speculating that Obama timed messing with Trump's show due to Trump's recent messing with Obama. The conspiracy theorists don't seem to consider that it was everything running on TV, at that particular time, that got messed with. Do they really think that Obama would be that diabolically mean, just to mess with Donald Trump's tv show?

The Celebrity Apprentice: Richard Hatch Fired Weeks After Shoving David Cassidy While Meatloaf Fights With Gary Busey

I'd not watched a single second of any of the previous editions of The Celebrity Apprentice. The whole Donald Trump Apprentice thing had seemed to have worn out its welcome with me.

But then I read what an amusing trainwreck mess David Cassidy was on the premiere episode of latest season of The Celebrity Apprentice.

So, I watched it on-line. And then set my DVR to record the series.

David Cassidy did not disappoint as Trainwreck TV. He's such a teeny guy. Big, mean, ol' Richard Hatch of tax evasion Survivor fame shoved little David around. Or so David thought.

On the latest episode of The Celebrity Apprentice it was the aforementioned Richard Hatch who Trump fired. Due to Hatch's inability to raise much money at a charity gallery auction type challenge. He did not have the connections the other "celebrities" had.

Gary Busey is a walking nutcase. He can be funny. But a nutcase. Donald Trump thinks Gary Busey is a genius. This makes me question Donald Trump's judgement in personnel matters.

Meatloaf is another bit of a nutcase. This week Meatloaf could take not one minute more of Gary Busey. And so Meatloaf had a ranting temper tantrum because he thought Busey took his art materials. He hadn't. Meatloaf's bag of goodies was later found, after screaming at Gary.

On the female side, we learned Dionne Warwick is a piece of work. She got fired last week.

One of the reasons I thought Celebrity Apprentice might be amusing is because NeNe Leakes of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame in one of the Celebrity Apprentices.  In the last season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta Housewives, NeNe went from previously being a fan favorite to the show's villian, ala Jill Zarin's fall from favor on The Real Housewives of New York City.

So, who walks in to the women's gallery? Jill Zarin. I think she spent $5,000 on something NeNe made.

Jose Canseco left this week due to a supposed family emergency. Jose was really really lazy.

After the women beat the guy's in the amount of money raised, making almost a million bucks, Trump asked them to consider him not firing one of the men, due to Jose leaving, and due to the fact that both teams raised the most money in Apprentice history.

The women wanted a man fired. And so Hatch was.

So far, Mark McGrath seems like the most normal, sane, celebrity of the celebrity apprentices.

This show runs for 2 hours. This makes for, what seems to me, a lot of padding. Which causes me to use the FF button. Like in the Boardroom, Trump did a forensic exam of the fight between Meatloaf and Gary.

Donald Trump, J.R. seems to be a bit of an odd duck, to me. I don't quite know why.

I did not understand the part in the Boardroom, before it was announced who raised the most money, where Trump gave the teams the chance to decide that whoever was the losing team, got to keep the money they raised. So, what happened to the money they raised if both teams had not agreed to let the losing team keep what they raised?  Did the winning team then get the money? I was confused.

I don't know if I'll watch this show to its end. I'll keep watching as long as it amuses me.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe Needs to Shut Up

Last week's episode of RHOA was dominated by NeNe Leakes leaking her loud mouth at Kim, for no decent reason.

Sunday night's next to last episode took up where we left off last week, with NeNe braying like a wounded mule.

This season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta started off with NeNe embarrassing herself at a party, screaming at Dwight.

Why would an Atlanta TV station keep NeNe on the air after watching her bizarre behavior? NeNe was a guest in that nice German real estate agent's South Beach Miami mansion, screaming about Kim being like a child when it is NeNe who acts as if she never matured past the Terrible Two's, or maybe the Fearsome Four's.

Maybe there was something actual and real that Kim said that set NeNe. But we weren't shown it. And it seemed that Kandi, who saw and heard it all, was definitely not on the NeNe Team.

To me NeNe has veered way in to Jill Zarin territory, totally misunderstanding how she is coming across. I used to like NeNe. Now I can't stand her, repulsive cow that she is.

Meanwhile, Kim just keeps on being amusing, aspiring artist that she is.

And how many Big Poppas does Kim have? It seemed like Kim was real friendly with the German real estate agent. I meant to type "familiar" but my chronic typo problem typed "friendly." Both words work.

When NeNe does her self-serving confessionals, that seem so out of sync with reality, she must not have seen what we've just seen. So, does NeNe get embarrassed when she sees the actual episode? Or is she so deluded that she does not see what we all see?

Next Sunday is the last episode, with the reunion shows starting the following Sunday, I would assume. That should be interesting, what with Kim several months into being pregnant, not drinking, not smoking. I don't think we've seen a sober Kim at one of the RHOA reunion shows.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe Terrorizes Kim On Bus Tour From Hell

The 3rd Season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta started with NeNe screaming like a Mad Banshee at Dwight at a party. Totally inappropriate behavior.

We are nearing the end of Season 3 and on the latest episode of RHOA NeNe was back in full Moose on a Rampage mode.

Except for a few moments spent with Phaedra and a few moments spent with Cynthia and her supposed husband to be, Peter, mixed in with a little Sheree, most of this episode was spent on Kim and Kandi's Bus Tour.

Kim is getting on every one's nerves. The constant need to smoke, the constant screaming for Sweetie, just the constant Kim apparently is very nerve wearing.

And then for some unfathomable reason Kim invited NeNe to join the Bus Gang in Orlando, to watch Kim perform before a packed arena, I mean strip mall bar, and then ride with the gang to Miami.

Kandi knew it was not going to go well having NeNe on board. Particularly after Sweetie managed to connect a laptop to NeNe's little "news" segment where NeNe used Kim to get her interviewee to open up by asking if Kim, at 32, was too old to be a pop star. And what the interviewee thought of Kim's Tardy for the Party song.

Kim took umbrage at NeNe mentioning her in this manner in her interview. But, the initial appearance of NeNe went fairly well in Orlando. NeNe went to the show. Made snide remarks to the camera. Was fairly civil to Kim. And drank a lot of wine.

After getting drunk, that night, NeNe made some disparaging remarks directed towards Kim, but Kim did not take umbrage. Directly.

And then, the next morning, back on the bus, on the way to Miami. I don't know what set if off, but soon NeNe was spewing all sorts of mean vitriol at Kim, belittling Kim's easily belittled "singing career." Among other things. NeNe even spouted out that Kim treated Sweetie like a slave. Sweetie took umbrage at that remark.

Kim snapped back a few times, which only made NeNe louder and more aggressive. Mostly Kim was in a defensive posture with a look of terror on her face, like you see in the above screenshot.

Finally NeNe went totally ballistic and lunged at Kim, which caused Kandi and the manager, I think his name is Don Juan, to restrain NeNe.

Kandi's sorta of bemused disgust at it all is sort of amusing to watch.

Another thing I learned on the bus is us White Folk often go about barefoot. This apparently is a well known fact. Which I type, as I sit here barefooted.

I don't remember any Phaedra gems of wisdom this episode. I do remember Phaedra's baby throwing up on Sheree. I think the baby watches the show.

And then there is Peter. Run Cynthia. Run fast. Don't marry this jerk. You invest a fortune in his restaurant. It starts to fail. He closes it without telling you. And then, when you are justifiably a bit upset at your misfortune, Peter tells you he no longer will tell you anything, because you get upset. Did I already say this guy is a jerk?

I don't get how a nice gal like Cynthia hooked up with that fuzzy gray bearded geezer.

NeNe was on the episode of Watch What Happens Live that followed the latest episode of RHOA. The woman has no self awareness. Seems not in the slightest embarrassed. And continues to demonize that easy target of Kim. Apparently the reunion show was filmed last week, where Kim and NeNe went at it some more and was the first they'd seen each other since the Battle on the Bus and the follow up Battle in Miami, which we saw a glimpse of in the previews for next week.

Is next week the last episode of the season? I don't know, for sure, but I am guessing it is, because The Real Housewives of New York City starts up real soon, with Sonja Morgan now bankrupt and morphed into being a thug in a cocktail dress.

And no Bethenny Frankel. And they have kept the obviously mentally ill Kelly Bensimon as one of the housewives. Who isn't married.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe's Pregnant & Going To Be A Grandma

A couple weeks ago we learned that after Kim Zolciak's Big Poppa went bankrupt Kim moved on to a new Sugar Daddy, well, Sugar Baby, 25 year old Atlanta Falcon Footballer Kroy Biermann.

On this week's Real Housewives of Atlanta episode Kim had not yet had her way with her Sugar Baby, verbalizing to the other Housewives her concern that Kroy might not measure up to her measurement requirements.

At some point in time after this week's RHOA episode Kim did have her way with her new Sugar Baby and managed to get a baby cooking in her oven.

Not long after we learned that Kim was in the Family Way we learned that NeNe Leakes' neer-do-well son Bryson got his girlfriend pregnant. Of course, NeNe flipped out upon hearing the incoming baby news. NeNe is insisting on a paternity test.

Bryson still lives at home, still does not have a steady job. Bryson is still seeing the Baby Mama.

So, poor ol' long suffering NeNe, worrying she was going to have another baby in the house, courtesy of Bryson, then learned that she also has a baby in the oven.

NeNe has not gotten divorced from Greg Leakes. According to gossiping insider sources, NeNe is 2 months pregnant. She believes the baby is Greg's. However, apparently NeNe followed Kim's example and did some baby-making activity with another NFL footballer by the name of Charles Grant.

I do not know if Bravo was in Real Housewives of Atlanta filming mode when all this baby drama was going on. I hope so.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kim's Fat Reduction, Cynthia's Friend Contract, Sheree's Acting Debut, Phaedra's Baby Drama

Well, the most recent episode of RHOA started off slow, with way too much Sheree and Lawrence, the Hair Dresser singer wannabe, who likes high heels.

But then it sort of picked up.

Sheree had Kandi come over to help her read lines in the play Sheree had decided to do for free, after all, because it will help her in her quest to win a Best Actress Award.

We heard too much dialogue between Peter and Cynthia regarding the NeNe problem. I think Cynthia handles her Peter problem well.

At some point we saw that trouble making Dwight pop in on Phaedra. It did not take Dwight long to stir the pot by telling Phaedra that Cynthia had made terribly inappropriate remarks about her newborn, suggesting it to be an alien creature, likely without a full set of fingers and toes. It was actually Kim who made the remarks. And it was Phaedra who set herself up to have such remarks made when she waddled around looking like she was carrying quintuplets in her uterus, while claiming the baby was only 6 months, or was it 7, along.

Then Kim had some of the girls over for some fat removal via a laser machine called Zerona.

Last week I was appalled to learn of the Zerona Fat Reduction Machine and blogged about the Zerona laser process and another called Zetiq, which freezes the fat cells, on my DurangObestity Blog.

I was amazed when I saw Kim having a Zerona machine brought into her house so she could have the laser fat removal treatment. $3,000 for 6 treatments. NeNe, Cynthia and Sheree were not interested in joining Kim. They just watched and later made snarky comments, like Sheree saying she preferred the old-fashioned method of exercise and eating right.

While Kim ate pizza and fried chicken sticks while the laser did its magic.

While waiting for Kim to lose fat, Cynthia asked to talk to NeNe alone. She had a "Friendship Contract" she wanted NeNe to sign. I thought the contract to be sort of funny, but NeNe made a big deal about it being weird. Which of course she had to share with Kim, who, next week, it seems according to the previews, mentions the contract to Cynthia, which causes it all to blow up in some friendly drama.

All the "housewives" but Kandi and Kim showed up for Sheree's play debut. There was much yawning as it was a long long wait til Sheree appeared at the very end of the play to utter a few words. After the play Phaedra had her confrontation with Cynthia over the alien baby remarks, which Cynthia denied, to which Phaedra, the lawyer, said she would launch an immediate investigation to get to the bottom of this outrage.

From the previews it appears that Phaedra confronts Kim, some bickering ensues. Phaedra's convict husband is brought up, to which Phaedra drops the Big Poppa has gone bankrupt bombshell ,which had Kim looking like she was going to explode.

I forgot to mention. Before we got to the previews, Kim and NeNe went out for lunch, where possible post Greg mates for NeNe were discussed. Including Kim making some dipping into the girl pond suggestions, to which NeNe recoiled.  Then Kim recoiled when NeNe said she was thinking of dating a white guy. Within minutes of that, NeNe was on What What Happens Live. With Anderson Cooper. Who had a friend contract for NeNe, and whom either he, or Andy Cohen, pointed out to NeNe, was a white guy.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi Koated Nights With NeNe Divorcing Greg

Kandi Koated Nights really shows us a side of  Kandi Burruss that I did not think was there. With Way Too Much Information being shared. When it is tasteless to Kim Zolciak, you know it is really tasteless.

And then Kim invited Kandi and her mother, Joyce, over for Mother's Day, at least I think it was Mother's Day, with Kim's kids and mom and dad.

Why are Kim's mom and dad in practically every episode this season, when they did not exist, as far as we knew, previously?

So, Kandi's mom proudly brought her "Better Than Sex" cake and presented it to Kim's mom. Who seemed to take the sexy cake well.

Back to Kandi Koated Nights, I could have lived without the stripper taking it all in front of the ladies, including a humongous sock covering that which should have remained covered, which was referred to by one of the women as humongous. The various expressions on the housewive's faces, when the humongous member was presented for their visual examination, was pretty funny.

Kim took daughter, Brielle, to her favorite jeweler to get a ring. An Abstinence Promise Ring. All the rage among 13 year olds. With the ring Brielle promises to not engage in any baby making activity until she is 18. The diamond studded ring cost $3,000. Oh, the values Kim is instilling in her girls is quite impressive.

Phaedra came home from the hospital. Apollo had to carry her up the stairs due to Phaedra being unable to walk. Then he remembered to go get the new baby in the car. Phaedra said several strange, goofy things, only one which I remember, something about the baby's crocheted onesie being from the same place as Oprah's. Huh?

Kandi and her music crew worked on Kim's Ring Don't Mean a Thing song. Kandi played it for Kim, who's eyes lit up, now liking the song. Kandi was ready to sell it to someone else if Kim continued hating it. Kandi keeps bitching about Kim not paying her for Tardy for the Party. But, on Watch What Happens Live Kim said she not only paid Kandi, she overpaid her.

A gossip fest broke out after someone recorded Greg ranting about NeNe. And put the rant on a radio website. Greg did not know he was being recorded. He thought he was talking to a friend on the phone.

So, after we saw Sheree's funny dumping of her phony "Doctor" boyfriend, Tye Muhammad, we ended the episode with NeNe confronting Greg about his "radio" interview, after NeNe learned of it, in a humiliating way, on her first day of work on her new TV "journalist" job.

NeNe was all bent out over Greg airing their dirty laundry so publicly. The nerve. But wait. NeNe has this confrontation with Greg, in front of the cameras, so we all could watch. Now that is just ironic. And hypocritical.

Anyway, another entertaining episode of RHOA, except I could have lived without the Cynthia wedding planning part.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Phaedra Has a Baby While Kim is Rumored to Be Having a Baby

You are looking at Kim Zolciak and Lee Najjar, also known as Big Poppa, he being the married man who keeps, or used to keep, kept woman Kim in the style to which she has grown accustomed.

Last week on The Real Housewives of Atlanta we saw Kim hook up with an Atlanta Falcon's Quarterback with a big butt named Kroy Biermann.

I did not see it, but I read that on Watch What Happens Live Andy Cohen asked Kim, who was drinking tea, not wine, if the rumors were true about Kim being heavy with child. Some say Kim answered in the affirmative, others indicate the answer was ambiguous. Still others claimed that Kim was looking heavy with child.

Again I did not see this particular episode of Watch What Happens Live. I think my DVR may have it recorded, though.

Now, what were the highlights of this week's episode of RHOA? Well, Kandi had a birthday party where Kim gave Kandi a wig that Kandi, and others, thought looked like a hooker wig.

In a way too long segment, NeNe got a job on Atlanta's Channel 11 TV station, working on some local TV show.

There was a lot of debate about Phaedra's outgoing baby and the short amount of time Phaedra claims the baby had been gestating. With Kim saying it takes 10 months to cook a baby. I'd not heard that medical term before.

If I understand the scandal correctly, Phaedra and Apollo have only been married 6 months, getting hitched soon after Apollo got out of prison. With Phaedra being hugely pregnant, the other housewives all agree there is no way she is only 6, or is it 7, months pregnant.

So, Kandi visits Phaedra in the hospital were labor is being induced, with Phaedra still acting like she has no idea how long she has been heavy with child. The doctor then matter of factly said Phaedra was in her 40th week.

Ooops. Phaedra's mother is there, who just moments before stated her abject disapproval of babies conceived out of wedlock.

Personally I don't get what the big deal is, but it is amusing to watch the ladies go on and on about Phaedra's mysterious pregnancy.

Induced labor did not work, so a Cesarean was needed. Phaedra was quite the drama queen during the process. And then the baby came out, with the doctor showing Phaedra her baby for the first time, with the first words the new born heard from his/her mama being "Ew Gross."

Later, when the baby was all cleaned up Phaedra opined that it looked Chinese and then said she was fairly sure it was her baby because there were no Chinese people in the room. Or something like that.

Back to Kim recent gossip. Supposedly the Big Poppa Sugar Daddy is in money trouble. With electricity in his buildings being turned off. A mall which Lee Najjar owns owes more than $200,000 in overdue power bills, according to Georgia Power officials. Atlanta's Channel 2 Action News also reported that Najjar is behind on his water bill and owes three year's worth of back property taxes totalling $250,000.

This all makes Kim's garage sale make sense. And hooking up with the new Football Quarterback Sugar Daddy with the big butt.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kim Zolciak Has Made $80K From Tardy For The Party

You are looking at The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak, with Kandi Burruss following her, in Palm Springs, in the previews for next week's 3rd episode of the 3rd season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

The most shocking, to me, thing we learned in Monday night's episode two, was the revelation, via Kandi, that Kim has made over $80,000 from sales of her Tardy For The Party recording, which would not exist if it were not for Kandi, and for which Kim has not felt the need to compensate Kandi, about which Kandi sounded a tad resentful.

The reason Kim is in Palm Springs (I'm fairly certain it was Palm Springs, in California. It may have been Palm Beach in Florida) is because, apparently, Kim has become a Gay Icon, you know, like Cher and Judy Garland. There is an annual event called, I think, The White Party. And that is what Kim is invited to, to sing Tardy For The Party.

I assume Kim needs Kandi along in order to run the auto-tuner. It looks like this next episode will have some good hilarity when the Palm Springs, or Palm Beach wind conspires to try and blow off Kim's dress and reveal her bare boobage right when a big drag queen is introducing Kim to her adoring fans.

NeNe was way calmed down from the 1st episode's screaming banshee, shouting incoherent ranting in annoyingly prissy Dwight's face, at some sort of Shoe Shoe. This week NeNe and Dwight were at another show, that being a show where Kandi was showing off her hopefully hit singles.

After a lot of dirty looks, NeNe forced another confrontation with Dwight. This time the screaming banshee did not come out. NeNe and Dwight came to some sort of understanding. Which I did not understand. I guess they are back friends again.

There are 2 new Housewives. Cynthia and Phaedra. Cynthia is a model I've never heard of who thinks everyone has heard of her. Phaedra is a lawyer.

At the Kandi Show, Kim,  NeNe and Sheree are shocked, and amused, to learn from Sheree's flamboyant, pink finger-nailed, Dwight in training, that Phaedra's husband is an ex-con. For what crime the Dwight in training did not know. A friend of the Dwight in training, who was Phaedra's husband's cellmate, was the information source. This information led Sheree to make an amusingly snarky comment about Phaedra's husband and dropping soap in the shower.

Speaking of Sheree. Has her face grown even longer and more horse-like? Apparently Sheree has claimed to have toned down her Sheree-ness. She does seem to be being a slight bit less full of herself.

Sheree's blind date with a doctor from Los Angeles was fairly amusing. Sheree knew they were going dancing, a skill she said she did not have, due to being one of those very rare black women with no rhythm. Sheree got herself all tarted up, the boyfriend, to be, sent a car to pick Sheree up. Sheree gradually grew a bit horrified as it appeared she was being driven into what appeared to be Atlanta's ghetto.

Finally, arriving at the destination, Sheree finds herself in what looks like a run down strip mall's parking lot. The meeting place appears to be a strip dance club. We see the fancy shoes Sheree is wearing as she remarks she could have worn tennis shoes.

Sheree meets the doctor. There are several off putting things about the man, but Sheree keeps being able to overlook them, because he is do darn good-looking. The doctor gets Sheree to dance. She seemed to handle it well. The doctor started seeming nicer, with the evening ending with Sheree being the one to instigate a second date.

Meanwhile back at NeNe's latest rented house, banished son, Bryson (I think that's right) shows up to ask if he can come back home. NeNe seemed, to me, to be being a real good mom in this confrontation. From this confrontation we learned Bryson was a lazy slob who did nothing to help around the house, made messes, stayed out all night and had been arrested for marijuana possession, walking right into a jail to visit a friend, with pot on his person, found during a little pre-jail visit pat down.

Bryson seems totally burned out. He seems to have inherited absolutely none of his mom's high energy. In the end NeNe agreed to let Bryson come back for 90 days, during which he has to find a job and a place to live, with the caveat that once he is out, after 90 days, there was no coming back. Apparently this type tough love had been done to NeNe when she left home.

Is Bryson not the kid we saw given an expensive car upon high school graduation? What became of that car during all the family's financial woes? I suspect it was leased. Just like the ever changing houses.

So, after last week's dull 1st episode had me considering bailing, I'm back interested in the Atlanta Housewives again, particularly looking forward to Kim's possible Palm Springs debacle.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 3 Premiere: Boring With NeNe Acting Crazy

I did not realize Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta started up on Monday. I somehow thought all those Bravo Housewives shows were on Thursdays.

I only watch the New York City and Atlanta girls. I did not feel like getting hooked on the D.C. Housewives, the O.C. Housewives annoy me, but not as bad as those New Jersey Housewives.

And now, after watching the first episode of Season 3 of RHOA I am not being all that re-hooked on the Atlanta girls.

Only 3 of the original Atlanta Housewives remain, Sheree, Kim and NeNe. Last season Kandi Burruss was added. For me, Kandi did not add all that much, but she seems nice enough, but it is because of her the world  was blessed with Kim Zolciak's "Don't Be Tardy For The Party" song that gets in your head like an ear infection.

Kim and NeNe seem to be getting along for now. Sheree is now an actress. I guess the fashion designing did not work out.

NeNe is have marital woes, due to money issues involving husband Greg. It did not take long into the 1st season of the Atlanta Housewives for the Internet to be the source of a lot of information about NeNe's financial woes. Which confused viewers due to the high consumption, luxury lifestyle NeNe seemed to be living.

Well, apparently Greg either tried to, or did borrow some money from the horribly annoying blowhard called Dwight.

So, NeNe is going to some Shoe Party with Kim, where both Sheree and Dwight will be in attendance. NeNe writes a check out to Dwight for the amount she thinks Greg borrowed from him.

At the Shoe Party when Dwight showed up NeNe turned into a total shrieking bitch, screaming in Dwight's face with Dwight not able to get a word in. Prior to that NeNe had said some nasty comments about the lady Dwight brought to the Shoe Party not being in the same refined class as NeNe. I don't think refined people scream at people at parties.

So, NeNe and Kim quickly left the Shoe Party, with NeNe lamenting how she lost control and also lamenting that due to losing control she got no answers from Dwight.

At the end of the episode, previews for the rest of the season show that eventually NeNe and Kim start fighting, NeNe's kid gets arrested. For what, I don't know. I did not see a lot that compelled me to keep watching. There was a funny line with Kandi complaining that Kim has one minor hit song and acts like she is Lady Gaga.

Maybe I am down to the girls from NYC being the only Bravo Housewives who I watch.

The Real Houswives of Atlanta: NeNe Turns Into a NoNo

I tell myself I am not going to blog anymore about The Real Housewives of Atlanta. And then I do. It doesn't matter what other TV show I watch and blog about, the only thing people come to this blog for is to see a photo of Kim's Big Poppa, supposedly an Atlanta super-rich guy named Lee Najjar.

Seems everyone on the show, but the viewers, has met and seen Big Poppa.

On the most recent episode Big Poppa gave Kim an engagement ring. This perplexed others, like Sheree, who puzzled, "Isn't he married?"

I've not been enjoying the 2nd season of the Atlanta housewives. But, Kandi has grown on me. She is the only one who seems genuine. The others seem like they are amping it up, trying to make what they think is good TV.

Lisa never seems natural anymore.

And what is with all the parties these women give themselves? Sheree's Independence Party was ridiculous, what with that gigantic billboard she had made of herself. And the She by Sheree clothing line thing. Flying to New York City to meet her top of the line seamstress had some amusing moments. I don't see a good outcome for Sheree's clothes making designs.

And then there is Dwight. He used to be amusing. Now he is just an over the top overbearing know it all.

Now, Kim is back on the Big Poppa gravy train, so we know who's paying for all the junk she buys. But, when she was on the outs with Big Poppa, how was Kim paying for all the junk she buys? Who pays for Kim's girl's private schools?

Why does Kim have a Personal Assistant? How does she pay for the Personal Assistant? Have we ever seen Kim do anything for money, other than what our imaginations tell us she must be doing to have Big Poppa so constantly generous?

For me, it has been NeNe who had taken the biggest fall. She was the fan favorite the first season. All that adulation has seriously skewed NeNe's self image into the delusional zone. Telling Kim that Kim needed NeNe on her Tardy for the Party record to be able to sell it. Telling the woman who is writing NeNe's book that her hometown will have a parade for her upon her return.

NeNe's constant negativity about Kim has turned Kim into a sympathetic victim in a lot of viewer's eyes. NeNe even managed to have a fight with the eternally positive Kandi.

Anyway, I hope Kim and Big Poppa get a spinoff on Bravo, showing their wedding, with the hilarity that would surely follow after they become Mr. and Mrs. Najjar.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Kim Trips, Alter Ego Debuts, Along With Tardy For the Party

It probably would have worked out better for Kim if she'd been Tardy for the Alter Ego Party. Maybe she would have not tripped on cobblestones, doing a lot of damage to her ankle, legs and shoes. In no particular order.

This week's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta made up for last week's snoozy episode.

We see Kim arrive at Kandi's house, not realizing Kandi has a studio, where she has pretty much got Kim's Tardy for the Party song ready to go. Just needing Kim's fine vocals to finish the job.

But, Kim did not want to sing. This perplexed Kandi. Eventually Kandi cut through Kim's defenses to realize Kim was scared, due to the last time she sang in front of actual professionals it did not go well. After a bit of positive encouragement, Kim agreed to sing. To my tone deaf ears, Kim's singing seemed much better than the last time we heard her warble so unfortunately.

After Kim heard how good Kandi's pop version of Kim's country song was, Kim decided she really did not need NeNe to be part of Kim's eminent pop stardom. After last season's brouhaha over Kim finding out that NeNe had mocked Kim's singing career aspirations, I don't know why Kim would have wanted NeNe to be part of Kim's rise to Madonna status.

Next up was the big reveal of those boring Alter Ego photos that were taken last week. This took place at a big party with all of the Atlanta elite in attendance. End the end the photos were quite striking when finally revealed, particularly Kandi's.

But, before the Big Reveal there was an accident. Kim tripped on some cobblestones, crashing to the ground, twisting her ankle, gashing several large cuts, that had a lot of blood gushing.

Kim was carried to her car where first aid and ice were administered. The party moved outside to watch the Kim drama. The other housewives were very unsympathetic and treated Kim's obvious real bad injury as some sort of manipulative ploy by Kim to get attention.

Kim did have some really good timing with the entire ankle debacle. When all the housewives were gathered near, along with the rest of the party, Kim asked Sheree if she'd like to hear Tardy for the Party. Kim then instructed someone to hit the play button. Kim then lit up a very self-satisfied cigarette as the music started up, to looks of amazement on the faces of those who had belittled Kim's singing aspirations.

All the housewives, except, I think, Lisa, were quite complimentary of Kim's song. At this point in time NeNe does not realize she is not going to be part of the final product. We saw in next week's previews that NeNe is quite upset at Kim for deciding to go solo.

I am finding that Kim and Kandi are becoming my favorite housewives. Lisa, Sheree and NeNe's constant Kim bashing gets real old, particularly when they do bashing much worse than the backstabbing bashing they are constantly accusing Kim of.

One more thing, that Dwight really is such a pompous ass. Have we seen anything that validates his extremely inflated self-image?

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Lisa's Fashion Show, Kim's Wigs & Boobs

This week's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was not a snooze fest like last week's. Last night we had some good Kim moments.

First off, there was this red dress Kim wore in her 'confessional' moments. Kim's boobs seem to get bigger all the time. Last night at one point Kim looked as if she was holding them up.

Maybe Kim should start up a specialty bra line to go along with her wig enterprise.

Speaking of Kim's wig enterprise. This very strange man who dresses in female accessories came to Kim's house. They sat in the backyard to discuss wigs while Kim smoked and drank wine.

We saw Kim take her youngest daughter clothes shopping. Kim has taught her girls to want to have expensive designer clothes exclusively. Kim ran up about a $2,000 bill that she put on a credit card, muttering, as she left, that she really needed to get a job.

In one of her red dress confessionals Kim said she and the girls had grown accustomed to a luxury lifestyle when she was Big Poppa's mistress. Kim said she did not intend to give up that lifestyle, even though there was no longer a Big Poppa footing the bill. Where does this woman get money?

Kim had a bizarre Wig Party, where that guy who wears girl stuff showed up, as did a bunch of Kim's friend, including NeNe. NeNe put on a blonde wig and then proceeded to mock Kim for such a long time, making pretend calls to Big Poppa, that eventually the other women got uncomfortable and quiet.

Lisa had her fashion show. That all seemed very odd to me. I know nothing about such things, but those dresses that she helped design did not look all that good to me. Dwight, NeNe's gay boyfriend, was in full diss mode over the whole thing. The runway was tacky, the sewing was sloppy, on and on he went.

Sheree did not show up. Earlier we saw Sheree and Lisa together, with Sheree sort of condescending. Lisa got in a dig about Sheree's previous fashion show that had no clothes to show. So, 2 hours after the show, Sheree shows up. She got into a fight with one of Lisa's helpers who complained to Sheree about not showing up. When Sheree found Lisa it was all very awkward.

In the previews for next week's episode it appears Sheree's fashion show goes on. We saw a lot of mostly naked men with Sheree thrilled they had no body fat. Then we saw Kim collapse, carried by several men after the collapse. Previous to the collapse we saw Kim sobbing.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Alter Ego Falter

This week's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was the most boring ever. I found nothing entertaining or funny about it. I thought maybe it was just me in a bad mood, but this morning I was reading the housewive's blogs to see that Kandi Burruss thought the same thing.

Kandi said, "To be honest, I really didn't feel like writing a blog this week. So all I really have to say is ... ZZZZzzzzz ZZZZzzzz. Can somebody wake me up for next week!? That episode was SO BORING! I know we can't have dramatic, action packed episodes every week, but damnnn. Sorry, but I have to be truthful."

The editors must not have had a lot to work with to spend so much time on that boring Alter Ego photo shoot. The only thing about the thing that was remotely entertaining was Kim once again seeming to be the one who seems to have some common sense about her, refusing to be painted black as her alter ego.

When Kim objected to NeNe's plan to paint her black and name her Kena, NeNe switched Kim's alter ego to being a Stepford Wife and a Mistress. Kim thought she'd agreed to Rich Wife and Stepford Wife.

The girls better step it up this week with some good drama and comedy, hopefully both.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Lisa & NeNe Go To LA, Kim Goes To Work On Kandi

I'm days late getting around to watching the latest episode of the The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

So, here's what I think. The whole NeNe going to LA with Lisa thing was strange. It all seemed real forced. Lisa does not act natural. And NeNe is starting to seem like she is constantly way too deep into performance mode. NeNe's trouble at processing Lisa's Asian side was odd. NeNe ended up declaring that Lisa was totally black. The whole graveside thing over the dead gay brother who was the life of the family and who died of mysterious causes, with one of the brother's pouring booze on the grave, was just odd.

NeNe and Lisa's new gay friend they found in the hotel was also strange. Way too much forced laughter at stuff that was not funny.

What was funny was Kim. She went to Kandi's recording studio. And then could not remember the words to "Tardy for the Party." Later Kim called Kandi to arrange a dinner at a steakhouse. Kandi is already seated when Kim arrives, immediately demanding wine. Kandi does not drink, orders a Shirley Temple, with lime, while Kim's eyes roll.

Kim spews so much profanity in public places. I don't see how she does not get a Potty Mouth Ticket from some arbiter of good public taste. Then during the dinner with Kandi, Kim proceeds to do her behind the back cutting that she always denies doing. Kim's main target was her main enemy, Lisa.

And then there is Sheree. The self-proclaimed best designer in Atlanta is getting her first fashion show ready. Of course, she has an event planner. And Mercedes Benz as a sponsor. Sheree's event planners seemed as if they did not quite know what to make of her. It will be fun watching Sheree get her fashion comeuppance again. At least that is what I hope happens.

In the previews Kandi does some crying. That is all I remember.
