HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Miss Independent

Sorry to be tardy for the party on this post, but I only got around to watching last week’s Real Housewives of Atlanta last night, and after a two week absence, I’m back with a photocap. So much has gone on since I last did one of these. Kim recorded “Tardy for the Party,” Kim …

Meet The (Rumored) DC Housewives!

Gossip broke today when Washington wag Carol Joynt reported that the new cast of the Real Housewives of D.C. had been finalized. Of course, nothing is official, and for all we know, this Carol Joynt — or CJ as I’m wont to call her — may be completely off her rocker. But according to NBC Washington, CJ …

HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: A Fashion Show with Fashions!

Apparently there are only two things you can do in Atlanta: photo shoots and fashion shows. Well, last week on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, we got to see a photo shoot (one of those alter-ego thangs that are ALLLLL the rage!). This week, we got a fashion show. WITH fashions! What a revelation! Yes, …

HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Don't Be Tardy To The Party, Sherayay!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is on once again tonight, and it looks like we’ve got some petty drama coming our way. First, Sherayay arrives fashionably late to Lisa’s very own fashion show — so fashionably late that she misses the entire thing. Passive-aggression? Or a genuine mishap? I’m sure various squabbles shall reveal all. …

HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Tit for Tut

There are many things I expect to encounter on an episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Free flowing glasses of wine? Check. Oversized wigs? Check. Poets and helicopters? Semi-check. But a festive gathering of the ENTIRE CAST at a King Tut viewing? Didn’t see that one coming. And yet, that’s exactly what happened. Midway …

HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Academic Debates For The New Millennium

There’s a new super-sized episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta on tonight (conveniently airing against the Project Runway premiere), and among the various jaw-dropping moments we’re sure to see, here’s a scene of Kim and her nanny (which she clearly needs on account of her busy schedule of smoking cigarettes and not having cancer) debating …

HOUSEWIVES PREVIEW: Pull That Wig Off, Sherayay!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back tonight, and we finally are gonna get to see Sherayay pull Kim’s wig off. Or not. If the above clip is any indication (and 70% of it is old footage), it looks like there’s only a mild tug, and that’s it. Still, who doesn’t like it when these …

Lisa Wu Hartwell Becomes Latest 'Housewife' To Downsize

It’s becoming a tradition. Apparently you’re not an official Real Housewife of Atlanta until you’ve been kicked out of your home and forced into a smaller abode. It happened to Nene. It happened to Sherayay. And now it’s happened to Lisa Wu Hartwell, whose ritzy home was foreclosed last week. It’s a mild shock as …

HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: It's On Like Donkey Kong! (assuming Donkey Kong has big fake breasts and a giant wig)

Well, I’ve done my last traveling for the summer, and now I am finally finally getting back up to speed here with the blog. That means catching up with last week’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, which I had missed due to a raucous wedding in rural Michigan (not exactly the sort of place where you’d …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: How You Gonna Have Some Poetry With No Poet?

And they’re off! Yes, The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back, and they truly are better than before. The second season premiere hit the ground running in a frenetic, dizzying way — a far cry from those lazy early days of the franchise pre-zeitgeist. It’s almost impossible to recap everything that happened in the hour, but …
