Real Atlanta Househusband Kordell Stewart Slashes Marriage to Real Atlanta Housewife Porsha

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is hard on the marriages of professional athletes whose wives end up on this show.

I'm likely forgetting one or two, but if I am remembering right two of the original RHOA cast pro sports wives ended up divorced, those being DeShawn Snow, divorced from basketballer, Eric and Lisa Hartwell, divorced from footballer, Ed.

Sheree Whitfield divorced husband, Bob, prior to becoming a Real Atlanta Housewife (without a husband).

Kim Zolciak remains married to Atlanta Falcon footballer Troy Biermann. After becoming an actual housewife Kim quit being on the Real Atlanta Housewives show.

And now we have Porsha William Stewart's husband, Kordell, filing for divorce in a petition filed Friday in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, saying his marriage is "irretrievably broken."

In the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta we saw Kordell overbearingly give Porsha a strange ultimatum along the line that she could not have both a career and be a mother.

Kordell claims there are no marital assets to divide and that Porsha is "an able-bodied person, earning income, and is capable of supporting herself."

Isn't that plus-sized home Kordell and Porsha lived in a marital asset? Or, like seems to be the norm with these Real Housewives people, was that house rented?

What I saw of Kordell on RHOA I did not much like. Porsha seemed to be a bit of a child-like ditz. Kordell acted way too parental, like he was Porsha's daddy.

Is Vegas taking bets on how long the Zolciak/Beirmann marriage lasts?

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 Beverly Hills Downward Spiral to a 2nd Season's Conclusion

Sunday's Real Housewives of Atlanta episode was the most boring Housewives episode I've watched in a long time. It was so boring it had me thinking it is time to bail on the Atlanta girls.

And then there is last night's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

It was not that I found this episode boring, what I found was that it was not entertaining or amusing.

Maybe the Taylor Armstrong specter has cast such a pall that it is hard to be amused.

That and seeing people who are way too wealthy going somewhere that is way too fun, like Hawaii, staying in a luxurious resort, and then not being able to just enjoy the moment you are living in, but instead to fuss and fume about the ridiculous, is not pleasant television viewing. It is not even good trainwreck television viewing.

By ridiculous, I mean Kim Richards. Why invite her anywhere? I don't get. Yes. I can see the sister, Kyle, caring, but why do the others? So much Sturm and Drang over Kim missing a plane and never being on time.

A few voices of reasons were unable to break through the clutter, those reasonable voices being Brandi, Adrienne, Paul and Lisa.

Kim's Ken boyfriend is a piece of work. At times he seems like he is almost the reasonable one. And then he does something like confront Paul and Adrienne, who where talking nice about Ken, with Kim, making everyone, including the voyeuristic viewers, uncomfortable.

Anyway, I think this second season of RHOBH is about over. The Reunion Show has already been filmed.

Next week's previews show Taylor with a faded black eye. And having another confrontation with Camille.

Explaining the faded black eye, which was not in evidence during Taylor's post leaving Russell meeting with Dana, might be interesting. Taylor is an extremely highly evolved liar.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Dangling Jewels Are Ridickulous

Kandi & Her Mom, Joyce Reacting to Ridickulous

Well, the Real Housewives of Atlanta continues to deliver some ridiculous entertainment.

Bravo's title for Sunday's night's latest episode was...

Jewels Be Dangled
Episode 4: Kandi gets a very, um, big surprise for her birthday...It's Ridickulous!

Before we saw the jewels dangling we saw that Peter had a $40,000 check from an investor bounce on him. Before that check bounced we saw an angry confrontation between Peter and his wife, Cynthia's sister, Mal. We also saw Mal verbalized concerns that Cynthia would blow her own money, again on Peter's latest venture. Another bar.

Sheree took Phaedra the lawyer along for a confrontation with the guy who is building Sheree's new house. On the interwebs there a quite a few people mystified as to where Sheree acquired the money to build Chateau Sheree.

Before we saw the dangling jewels we saw Kim and Kroy get a lesson from a baby specialist on how to diaper a freshly circumcised baby boy. Kim was quite squeamish with worry about a baby boy's penis.

Kim's penis concerns were not the only penis concerns on this episode.

Which leads us to the dangling jewels.

Kandi gave herself a 35th birthday party on the roof top of a nice place in the downtown Atlanta zone.

The Blurred Out Part That Makes the Man
Ridickulous

Earlier Phaedra had said she would have a really big birthday surprise for Kandi. The dignified birthday party was well underway when Phaedra wheeled in a big box. Kandi opened the big box to find one of Phaedra's clients, an infamous stripper who calls himself Ridickulous. Get it?

Rid-DICK-ulous.

The stripper began doing his thing. Clothes were coming off. Looks of horror played across the faces of those watching, with the most horrified seeming to be Kandi's mom, Joyce, and NeNe.

Phaedra had a lot of face time making comments on what we were seeing on this episode, many of them  very amusing, none of which I remember.

Except for a comment, in a Phaedra confessional, where she informed us that Ridickulous had (paraphrasing in my words) at talent for naturally Viagra-izing himself. And then performing a pleasuring operation on himself.

Then we cut back to the party action to see the party guests recoil in even more horror as Ridickulous demonstrated his special skill.

Can't you get arrested for such a thing at an outdoor party?

Many guests got up and left, including Kandi's mom, who was quite vocal about her disgust.

Kandi seemed not to think anything was wrong regarding this particular party favor. Phaedra seemed a bit embarrassed. Maybe.

I was just grateful this was on BRAVO and not HBO or Showtime, where there likely would have been no blurring of the naughty bits.

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.

Real Housewives of Atlanta Ends With Cynthia Married, NeNe Nuts, Phaedra Funny, Sheree Acting Badly With Kim & Kroy Making Their First Public Appearance Along With Kim's New & Improved Breasts

The finale of the 3rd season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta centered on the drama surrounding Cynthia's sad wedding to a drunk Peter who seemed to magically sober up by the time he read his vows.

That was one strange wedding. Marrying a dinosaur surrounded by dinosaurs.

And why would you go through a wedding when you find yourself suddenly broke?

In the finale Kim Zolciak proudly revealed her newly rebuilt breasts, or as she calls them, her "new titties."

Kim's boobs really should get their own Bravo TV Show. Kim had to do a lot of titty adjusting tonight. In the screen cap we see Kim do yet one more adjustment, at the wedding, while Kroy looks on.

Along with the new boobs, this also was the first time out in public, with the other "housewives" with boyfriend, Atlanta Falcon, Kroy Biermann. I assume Kim was not pregnant at this point in time. Because drinking wine was still a favorite Kim pastime.

Knowing that Cynthia was pinching pennies for her wedding, and needing a secure wine supply, Kim brought her own bottle.

Kim and Kroy were on Watch What Happens Live after the finale. At that live time, which was Sunday night, Kim was 5 and a half months along. And looking really good. Kim wears being preggers real well.

Kroy is a quiet guy. Definitely seems the opposite of Kim's free-spirited loudness. And it seemed like Kroy is actually quite smitten with his baby mama.

Back to the finale. Watching Sheree's audition for a movie part was a bit painful. It was like those she was auditioning for were doing the auditioning for the Bravo cameras.

Phaedra had several Phaedra gem one-liners, none of which I remember. Phaedra really grew on me the more we got to see her.

Cynthia, not so much. I think because I felt sort of sorry for her. It's not fun to watch someone and feel sorry for her.

As for NeNe. Well. The woman is nuts. That is all there is to it. Delusional and nuts. And way way too loud.

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.

Tidbits About The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Is there anything that is not covered by Wikipedia?

Wikipedia has an interesting entry about The Real Housewives of Atlanta with several tidbits worth noting.

Three of the Atlanta Housewives have their own separate Wikipedia articles, ironically these three are three of the Atlanta Housewives who have no husband, Sheree Whitfield, Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss.

So, what are some of the interesting tidbits I gleaned from Wikipedia?

Sheree Whitfield

Until some time in 2006 Sheree Whitfield ran a fancy Atlanta boutique called Bella Azul. Sheree got a $1.1 million divorce settlement from the NFL's Bob Whitfield. In the divorce Sheree's lawyer claimed Sheree's "limited education and inability to earn an income" caused her a severe disadvantage. After the divorce Sheree was evicted, by court order, from her home in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

Kim Zolciak

In the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta we heard Kim referred to as being 32 years old. In reality Kim Zolciak was born on May 19, 1968, which makes Kim 42 years old. Which seems a lot more believable than 32. Kim is now pregnant courtesy of 25 year old Atlanta Falcons footballer Troy Biermann.

Linnethia "NeNe" Leakes

NeNe was evicted from the rental home we saw her living in during the first season of RHOA. That house was not in Atlanta, instead was a 40 minute drive northeast of Atlanta in something called the Sugarloaf gated community. NeNe was evicted by her landlord, Winwood Properties, after a court filing in the magistrate court of Gwinnett County claimed NeNe's husband, Greg, owed $6,240 in past due rent.

Kandi Burruss

Kandi was the first African-American woman to win ASCAP's songwriter of the year award. The father of Kandi's precocious daughter,  Riley, is Kandi's ex-boyfriend, Russell Spencer of Block Entertainment.

Phaedra Parks

Phaedra's husband, Apollo Nida was convicted of racketeering. Apollo began serving his 18 year sentence on July 28, 2004. Almost 5 years later Apollo was paroled on May 27, 2009. Apollo married Phaedra on November 1, 2009. In May of 2010, Phaedra somehow managed to give birth to a full term baby, Ayden Adonia Nida, after cooking him in her baby oven for only 7 months. According to Phaedra.

Cynthia Bailey

Nothing all that remarkable in the Wikipedia mention of Cynthia, besides the remarkable fact that she had the gumption and confidence to take off from Tuscumbia, Alabama to seek her future in modeling in New York City, with nothing on her resume besides being her high school's Homecoming Queen and being in a few beauty pageants.

Lisa Wu-Hartwell

Lisa's past scandals have long been gossip fodder. Lisa has been known by several names, such as Sharon Millette Wu, Sharon Lisa Sweat, and Lisa Wu-Sweat. Lisa had two sons and two daughters with ex-husband Keith Sweat. Lisa does not have custody of the 4 kids she had with Keith Sweat.

DeShawn Snow

DeShawn lasted only the first season of RHOA. I suspect she was not asked back due to the fact that she was kind of boring. DeShawn claims the show's producers told her she was "too human for a circus show." During DeShawn's brief time on RHOA we met her husband, a tall NBA star named Eric Snow. They seemed like a happy couple, having started being a couple way back in their impoverished school years. So, it was a bit of a surprise to read that Eric filed for divorce from DeShawn on February 19, 2010. He probably got bored too.

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: Kim's Girl Friend Tracy Appears

Kim Zolciak's tabloid chronicled dip into the Lady Pond, with a lady named Tracy Young, took place months and months ago.

While the current season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was being filmed.

That is Kim and her ex-girl friend, Tracy, at the races, on this week's episode.

A week or so ago Kim told Andy Cohen, on Watch What Happens Live, that she is no longer interested in any Lady Pond dipping. On that same episode of WWHL Kim denied being pregnant.

And then, the day after that, an article came out in Life & Style magazine in which Kim let it being known that she was happy to be pregnant, courtesy of Atlanta Falcons Quarterback, Kroy Biermann.

So, on the most recent episode of RHOA, Tracy Young shows up. We first meet her on the phone, telling Kim she is coming to Atlanta to support Kim when she goes in for voice coach lessons.

Later Kim brings Tracy to a drag race between Sheree and Kandi. The other housewives were surprised to see Tracy. They'd been reading all about the torrid affair in the tabloids, but had not met Kim's girl friend.

Kim did not like the other housewives talking to Tracy. Which perplexed the other housewives. Why bring her here if you don't want us to talk to her? Then in the drag race Kim ended up in Kandi's car, with Tracy in Sheree's

It was all very odd.

But not as odd as Sheree's acting career. Now openly admitting she is desperate for money, Sheree did not like the idea of working in a play for free. And then Sheree had to go before a group of agents so they could check out her acting talents. When asked what acting experience she had, Sheree said she'd been in 2 plays. Asked to name the plays, Sheree could think of the name of only one.  Trying to think of the name of the other play resulted in about a minute of awkward silence.

What became of She by Sheree? Did her line of fashion go nowhere? Sheree seems to think all she has to do is say she is something and automatically it happens. What's next? Supermodel? Run for Governor? Manage a McDonald's?

The car Sheree raced Kandi in was the Aston Martin that she leased, which later got re-possessed.

We got to see another weird Phaedra photo shoot. This one with the new baby. Who proceeded to do some projectile pooping on Phaedra. Not exactly highbrow television.

NeNe's house seems empty of furniture except for a bed.

I don't like Cynthia's fiance, Peter. Apparently his restaurant is in trouble. Peter did not like Cynthia spending so much time talking to NeNe. NeNe later got on Peter's case, on the phone, to Cynthia's regret. In the previews we saw Cynthia smooth it over with NeNe.

I like Cynthia. She is the best-looking of the housewives. And seems to be the most sensible. So, what is she doing with that elderly Peter guy? It's not like she is after his money. I suspect she has more of that than he does.

Kim's singing actually seemed to improve, somewhat, with the coach's help. Seeing Kim nervous about facing that coach again was amusing. As was Kim speculating that the coach might treat her with more respect, now that Kim has that multi-platinum Tardy for the Party mega-hit to her credit.

I don't think The Ring Don't Mean a Thing is going to be another mega-hit for Kim.

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: Kim Zolciak Having A Baby With Kroy Biermann The Big Poppa

So, the rumors were true. Kim Zolciak is pregnant. And the baby daddy is the guy we saw Kim hit on in the episode of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta previous to the most recent episode, due to her attraction to the guy's butt.

The guy with the special butt is an Atlanta Falcon Quarterback named Kroy Biermann.

The news that Kim was pregnant was about to come out in a magazine called Life & Style, so Kim make the Baby Announcement on her Bravo Real Housewives of Atlanta Blog, saying....

"This has been one of the biggest weeks of my life. I performed "Google Me" on WWHL for the first time and Kroy and I were happy to announce that we are expecting our first child together (my third his first)! And how great was the timing? Just a week ago, you ALL saw him on the show for the first time. God clearly had a BIGGER little plan for us. This is the third happiest time of my life, thank you for all the support."

I watched the WWHL (What What Happens Live) episode to which Kim refers. Kim was drinking tea. Due to Kim's usual drink of choice being wine, and due to the rumors of an incoming baby being cooked, Andy Cohen asked Kim if she was pregnant.

Kim indignantly took umbrage, asking Andy if he thought she looked fat. Then claiming that the tea drinking was due to Kandi telling her to drink tea, rather than wine, to help improve Kim's pathetic singing voice.

Andy also asked about Big Poppa (Lee Najjar) and Kim also took umbrage, in a good-natured way, to that question. I did not quite catch exactly what Kim said, but it was to the drift that Big Poppa was no more.

Which makes sense, what with Kim being knocked up by the football player and with Kim saying they are being quite happy together. Kim said Kroy texted her the night we saw Kim meet him. Kim did not say how long it was before she had a closeup personal encounter with that butt about which she was so enamored.

Andy also asked Kim the odd question of which, if any, of the Housewives Kim would dip into the Lady Pond with. Kim said none, that she was done dipping into the Lady Pond.

So, is Kim marrying the Baby Daddy? No word on that that I've heard.

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: Sheree's Bad Ballroom Dancing with Kim's Big Butted Boyfriend Atlanta Falcon Quarterback Kroy Biermann

Sunday night's was another amusing episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Though I did begin to bore during Cynthia's wedding dress shopping. But even that provided a moment of bizarre, with Cynthia saying how close she and her mother are. And then it coming as a revelation, at the wedding dress store, that Cynthia's mom was pregnant with Cynthia when she quickly married Cynthia's soon gone father, at 18 years old.

Phaedra put on a good show of crazy whilst packing for the induced birth of her baby. Phaedra is HUGELY pregnant, yet clinging to the story that she is 6, or is it 7, months along. Apparently, next week the truth comes out about Phaedra's pregnancy, a moment that drives Dwight to ask for another drink.

Sheree was in fine form. She got herself a new Aston Martin sports car. You know, the type James Bond drives. They cost a lot. Sheree got this car because she is now at a place where she feels like pampering herself. Unlike last week. This Aston Martin is the car that it is believed was repossessed, in rumors that swirled around the Internet awhile back.

Sheree somehow decided it was a good idea to agree to dance in an Atlanta Dancing with the Stars charity event. Sheree had a target of $5,000 to raise for the charity.

Before I get to Sheree's dancing, let's go visit Kim Zolciak. We had the big reveal of Kim's youngest daughter's re-decorated bedroom. Kim claimed she spent over $60,000 on this. Kim's older daughter was jealous, claiming her room had a little girl look to it too. We then learn that the older daughter has a 2,000 square foot apartment upstairs with multiple rooms.

Those Kim kids are going to be such messed up adults.

And then we saw Kim's newly decorated office. Seldom have I observed someone with such horrible taste. Very tacky. With pictures of herself decorating all the walls.

Now let's go back to the charity dancing deal. We saw Sheree in training. That was painful to watch. We heard Sheree being totally delusional about her dancing. She arrived for the big dance with hair dresser/singer Laurence in tow. When booted out of the "dressing room" Sheree turned the women's public restroom into her dressing room, which caused NeNe to make a very funny snarky remark, which I've now forgotten.

All the Housewives arrive, except for Phaedra, at least I am not remembering her being there. NeNe drug Greg along. Greg was not happy. Sheree claimed she paid $1,500 for the Housewive's table. The Housewives got food and drink at that table. When it came time for the Housewives to vote with dollars, as in make a contribution to the charity cause, NeNe insisted they each give $20. Kandi was horrified at the cheapness, but went along with it. Sheree was expecting them to each donate a couple hundred bucks.

Then the dancing started. At one point a quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, Kroy Biermann, danced. Kim went nuts over the guy's big butt. Kim declared this the best butt she'd ever seen on a white guy. More on the guy with the big butt, later.

Back to Sheree dancing. It was awful. Really bad. Like a parody of someone trying to be sexy. Cut to the Housewives in confessionals. Kandi can't suppress a yawn, NeNe laughs, Kim is perplexed. Like I said it was really bad. But the judge gave NeNe a 9

However, the guy with the big butt was the winner, to which Kim remarked how could you not give to him, what with that big butt.

After it was over Kim met up with the quarterback, told him how much she admired his big butt. Asked if she could see it again. He obliged. They exchanged contact information.

That is Kim and the big butted quarterback, above. Apparently this is the guy with whom it was rumored Kim  became pregnant. Rumors vehemently denied. Kroy's teammates apparently tease him about dating Kim, whom they refer to as a "gold-digging cougar."

Kim is, supposedly, only 32. That is too young to be a cougar. You have to be 40 to be a cougar. NeNe could be a cougar.

On her Bravo Blog last week Kim said we'd be meeting someone special on this week's episode. I assumed it was going to be Big Poppa, not some football quarterback with a big butt.

And how does Big Poppa keep footing Kim's extravagant lifestyle when she is seen out on the town with a young guy with a big butt? If I were Big Poppa I would be jealous. Then again, if I were Big Poppa, I'd find a better place to waste my money than Kim Zolciak.

Although, I have to admit, Kim looks like she'd be fun to have fun with. I just would not want to be spending any money on her.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Trashed Collection: Kim's Garage Sale & NeNe's Marital Woes

Well, I guess on the latest episode of Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (another excellent episode, making 3 classics in a row) we learned what is causing the stress in NeNe and Greg Leakes marriage.

Greg cheated.

Or so NeNe clearly suggested to Cynthia in the last scene of the last episode.

NeNe was a bit on the drunk side of sober. Cynthia and boyfriend,  Peter had come over to Greg and NeNe's, in part, I think, so that Peter could impart some wisdom to NeNe's lazy son, Bryce, or Bryson. I think I've heard both names used.

The funniest part of that whole segment was when Bryce asked what asparagus was and his little brother informed him he had just embarrassed himself in front of the world.

NeNe and Greg got a bit confrontational in front of Peter and Cynthia, after what started as the offering of marital advice. Communication is key, NeNe repeated over and over again, poking the word into Greg's nose. Why would anyone want marital advice from a marriage on the rocks?

Other amusement, this episode, was provided by Kim Zolciak.

Trying to sing.

To the exasperation of Kandi. As an artist Kim is just not feeling the new song Kandi has written. I think it highly amusing every time Kim refers to herself as an artist. But, sometimes I think she is totally in on the joke.

And then there was Kim's garage sale. Apparently she is a hoarder. She was spending thousands of bucks a year storing stuff she'd replaced with new stuff. So, Kim decided to have a garage sale in the parking lot of a burger joint.

Classy.

One of the items was a big bed. I think Kim said she'd paid $14,000 for it. She wanted $4,000. I think that was the item her dad was trying to sell at $500. Kim's dad was selling all sorts of her expensive junk at garage sale prices, to the total chagrin of Kim, who had her enabler pour some wine (always in supply) into her coffee mug, at 9 in the morning.

NeNe showed up and bought the bed. I think Cynthia arrived with NeNe. The pregnant Phaedra showed up and proceeded to make funny snarky remarks.

The snarky confessional remarks are being very funny this season of RHOA.

Kim tired of the hard garage sale work, so she and the others "housewives" retired to the burger joint, where much fun was had grilling Phaedra about her mysterious baby due date.

I forgot to mention, previous to that, way back when the big bed showed up, Kim remarked that a lot of magic took place on that bed. Over heard by eldest daughter, Brianna. Methinks Kim is going to have herself a self-made handful, with that daughter of hers, coming up real soon.

So, that's my shorthand take on what remained in my mind of the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi Gets Raunchy with the Va-Jay-Jay Monologues

Last night made for 2 amusing episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in a row. Though I did not find myself laughing out loud, like I did the previous week, several times.

You are looking at NeNe in the foreground of the picture, with Phaedra and Kandi looking on, as NeNe shakes her finger at Cynthia's boy friend. I forget his name. He is sort of an annoying older guy, bald, with a gray beard.

Gray Beard annoyed NeNe by opining as to what he thought was the problem in NeNe's marriage. Previously Cynthia had clearly instructed Gray Beard not to bring up this subject.

Gray Beard's faux pas occurred near the end of the episode. Let's back up to the beginning.

At the beginning we see Kim trying to get in a house. Inside the house Kandi, with a group, is running some sort of Internet Podcast. Kim was to be that day's Podcast's guest. The subject matter was quite raunchy. I don't believe we'd seen the raunchy side of Kandi before. Even Kim seemed a bit surprised. Particularly when Kandi brought up something called Beef Lips.

I shan't tell you what Beef Lips is. Suffice to say I could have lived without hearing the Beef Lips discussion.

Kandi being raunchy seemed to be the theme of this episode.

Kandi's 7 year old daughter, Railey or Rainey or something like that, seems wise beyond her years. She may be the most mature lady on the show.

We saw Sheree go to her boyfriend's temporary place where he sort of made her dinner. There were all sorts of red flags going on, most of which Sheree saw and commented on. Sheree's commentary has become very amusing. As is her delivery of the commentary.

For some reason Cynthia had a Mother's Day party to which all the housewives, their spouses and children were invited.

Let's see, Sheree is not married, but once was, and she brought a kid with her to Cynthia's party. I don't think Kandi has ever been married, but she has a kid. Phaedra is married to an ex-con and she is heavy with child, but Phaedra does not know her due date. NeNe is married, but her marriage is one the rocks. NeNe has 2 kids. I think she brought one with her. Cynthia is not married and has no kids. Kim did not show up and also is not married, but does have 2 kids.

How did this show get called Housewives of Atlanta?

At the Mother's Day party, Gray Beard was the only "husband" until Phaedra's ex-con husband, Apollo, showed up. With a Mother's Day gift for his wife, which Sheree found odd, as did I.

The "housewives" proceeded to party outside where more Kandi raunchiness was on display. Apparently Kandi has had her mother on her podcast where a certain well known solo enjoyment device was discussed, with Kandi promising to get her mother one.

The discussion became a sort of Vagina Monologue, with a lot of talk about Va-jay-jays. And new information, for me, about a use of sugar to sweeten a certain spot.

It was all quite unseemly. Particularly to NeNe, who verbalized her opinion, which is what led to Gray Beard opining that the reason NeNe's marriage was on the rocks was due to NeNe's refusal to rock her marital bed with sufficient enthusiasm.

NeNe was pretty much mortified at the entire discussion. But she did take comfort in Kandi's mother's motherly advice.

I'd really grown to not like NeNe. I am back liking her. I am re-assessing what I think about the newly raunchy Kandi. Sheree has really become a lot more likable. Kim has grown to become Reality TV Gold.

As for the new "housewives?" Cynthia seems sensible. Except in her boyfriend choice. And she is amusing. Now Phaedra, she is just an out and out nutcase who is quite funny.

Next week it looks like Kim's tone deafness provides some amusement. And Kandi gets frustrated with her.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe Surgery, Phaedra's Baby Shower & Kim's New Song

I think Monday's new episode of  The Real Housewives of Atlanta was episode 4 of the 3rd season. After the season opener I opined that it was very boring and that I fast forwarded past the new housewives, Cynthia the model and Phaedra the lawyer.

I read some amusing Phaedra stuff that my fast forwarding denied me the pleasure of viewing. So, I did no fast forwarding on the latest episode.

And it was the best episode of the Atlanta girls in a long time. 

NeNe went in for some plastic surgery. Apparently she'd had implants inserted some time back, but had grown tired of carrying around her big boobage. And apparently there was some extra poundage in the belly zone that NeNe wanted removed. And a nose job.

NeNe drugged up on anesthetics and continuing to talk was funny.

Then we saw, for the first time, Kim's mom and dad. The idea of a Kim mom and dad had not previously occurred to me. Apparently they live nearby, but since Kim has become a superstar they seldom see her. Kim's dad thinks he and she are lookalikes. During the course of this visit we learned, from Kim, that she is back with Big Poppa. Saying that apparently they can not live without each other.

There was a lot of talk from Kim's dad along the line that Kim needs to attend a Catholic Church regularly. So, that Kim's youngest can have communion or get blessed or something.

For some reason Cynthia and her old boy friend (by old, I mean age-wise, not ex) rode in a limo with Phaedra and Dwight, to some cheap looking horse event. Cynthia's old boy friend did not like it that Phaedra's husband, Apollo, had been replaced by everyone's gay boyfriend, Dwight.

The snarky comments from Cynthia, about Phaedra, were quite funny. That Phaedra is a piece of work. It appears she pays not attention at all to who is hearing what she is saying. Basically she called Cynthia's old boy friend dirty, because he had kids. There were many Phaedra faux pas.

Sheree went to a seminar presented by her new boy friend, Ty Muhammad, or something like that. That turned quite amusing as the boy friend brought Sheree up in front of the audience where, self-described shy Sheree, did real well in the witty repartee department with the "doctor."

Then there was Kim's visit to Kandi's studio. I have really grown to like Kandi. She is the sanest and most level headed of the Atlanta Housewives. Kim thinks she should have another song to go along with her Tardy For The Party mega-hit. She tells Kandi she has a title to the song. "Ring Don't Mean A Thing." I think that was it.

Then Kim told Kandi she still thought country was the direction she should go. Kandi said, fine, sing me your favorite country song. The crickets chirped as we waited for Kim to think of a song. That may have been the point when Kim told Kandi her brilliant song title.

The last segment of the episode was Phaedra's bizarre baby shower. It was sort of surreal. The other housewives all thought it odd and made real funny snarky comments. Cluelessly tacky Dwight helped Phaedra put on this fiasco, and played the role of husband, due to Apollo refusing to be part of the sissy event.

I can not remember any of the snarky comments at this point in time. What I do remember is I laughed more during this episode of the Atlanta Housewives than I have laughed at anything on TV in a long time.
