Farewell "Real Housewives of Atlanta"...We Will Miss You!

on Tuesday, November 18, 2008

So the season finale of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" has premiered and we will miss it! It is one of the best seasons yet....rivals the original O.C Housewives!
So this final episode of this show started with a little dinner between new BFF's Sheree and Kim with Lisa.


and Lisa asking those two why they didn't show up to Deshawn's little "mending fences" dinner the previous night. They both made polite excuses and then talked crap about Deshawn during the private interview...ahhh makes me remember the high school days!
Then we cut to Sheree "pulling some strings" and getting a meeting with Project Runway favorite Michael Knight to discuss why she is a shitty fashion designer.....yes, did you know? apparently wearing expensive clothing also means that you can design clothing, so all you need is money and no formal training...guess this is why her things look so......well crappy for lack of a better word.


I am glad that he was on there and gave her some straight and realistic talk . He emphasis the fact that he meets several of these "Sports Wives" that think that because they have money, they can do a fashion line.......He also told her that she needs to learn about textiles and fabric combos! I LOVED IT! Finally someone who doesn't need or want to impress her or be apart of her " inner circle" told her how it is. Watching this show people really see that she has a lot of "yes men" in her camp, people who tell her that she is fabulous when she isn't!..One more reason to love Michael Knight.
Then we come to Lisa and Deshawn, now when last we left, Lisa's NFL husband was let go out of his contract due to his bad knee, so while he was looking for a team, he ended up being picked up by the Oakland Raiders( which is has been dropped from as well)


Lisa looked visibly upset and decided to cook dinner with Deshawn at Deshawns house.
Is it just me or does Lisa secretly hate Deshawn? I think that she is jealous, of Deshawn and her situation. You could tell by her response when the Deshawn's cook came in and stated that Deshawn hadn't cooked in over 10 years , so Lisa ( who doesnt have a cook) had to do all the work. Deshawn's NBA husband also got injured and decided to retire......I think that Lisa is mad that she still has to hustle for her money. NFL players like Lisa's husband are different from NBA players. Just because a NFL player is picked up doesn't mean that they are on the team, they can play and train and then be dropped without getting paid!
Where as NBA players get there money up front, guaranteed! Lisa asked Deshawn very subtly whether they were okay, money wise, and Deshawn was like, "we planned for this" so we are fine!
Deshawn has the big house ( too big if you ask me) , the cook and all the trimmings, while Lisa has several jobs , no cook or nanny and still worried about the money....You could just see the jealousy!
It all ended with a dinner planned by Lisa, that everyone, including the kids and the husbands showed up to to "clear the air" as the INSTIGATOR LISA WU HARTWELL planned it!



The went back and forth with NeNE telling Kim that she should have come to her as a friend and talked about everything instead of just taking other peoples word. Sheree didn't even try to reconcile, she just said, it is what it is.
They ended it with the fake reconciliation!
I am waiting for the Reunion Show next week, that is going to be great. It was shot recently after all the girls watched the show, so they get to see what others say about them during the "one on one " interviews!
SO HERE IS THE DIRT THAT WE HAVE LEARNED!

KIM KIM ZOLCIAK

has a restraining order against Lisa!..She said that Lisa threatened to Kill her! WTF! And here is the VIDEO OF KIM PLAYING LISA'S CRAZY VOICEMAIL as well as talking about the incident that led up to the restraining order!

LISA WU HARTWELL
apparently has a very sketchy past! She is the ex wife of legendary R & B whiner KEITH SWEAT! and has two kids with him! Justin and Jordon featured below in the Sweat Family Photo ( along with Sweat's two other girls from a different women)

For those of you who don't remember Keith sweat is the 80's "whiner" who had such babymaking hits as " Merry GO Round" and " I Want Her".
According to E, Lisa was hoping to have all three of her children on the show, but her ex-husband, late ,Keith Sweat, has gotten in the way.“He didn’t sign a waiver,” Hartwell complains. “He’s like, ‘Lisa, it’s nothing personal. I just really don’t know how they’re going to edit and if they’re going to make you look crazy. I just don’t want the kids to be, you know, overexposed or anything.’ “
Hartwell doesn’t buy it. “They asked their dad if could they be involved, and he [said] no,” she says. “It could have been a Disney show and I don’t think he would have signed it.”
For now, Hartwell appears on the show as if she only has one child, one-year-old E.J., her son with her current husband, NFL player Ed Hartwell...who she married after only knowing 2 months.
She claims to be an expert businesswoman, having gotten her feet wet in both real estate and jewelry , but she maybe isn't as successful as portrayed on the show having had to declare Bankruptcy last year!
Also Lisa has gone by several names in the past, including Sharon Millette Wu, and Sharon Lisa Sweat.....sounds like she was a video hoe....oops, I believe they call it "Video Modeling" now and kept trading up....but by the looks of her jealously of Deshawn, looks like she wants more!

BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO THE SHOWDOWN THAT IS THE REUNION SHOW!
AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CLIPS BELOW!!!

We now get to see the true side of Lisa Wu Hartwell and all season we have been saying that she has a "mean " side to her and here it is!


But that's not all, of course NeNe has her own beef with Kim!


This is just a small part of this show. What is interesting to notice is Deshawn, who doesn't say a word....even sits away from the ladies, lol...its like she knows that they are all full of SH$#t and wants no part! Because as naive as Deshawn may be , she really didn't have anything negative to say about the other ladies, even in the one on one interviews....but they other ladies can't say the same!
I think that this reunion is really going to show us the "The TRUE FEELINGS" towards each other, because they are very fake when the camera comes on!

I love the hot mess that is the ATL Houswives, and will miss them...the only consolation is that "THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF O.C" is coming on next week! and they have added another hot and younger house wive! Let the catfighting and jealousy begin!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE ATLANTA HOUSEWIVES?
WHICH SEASON DO YOU LIKE BETTER, O.C, NEW YORK OR ATLANTA?
WHICH ATLANTA HOUSEWIFE IS THE FAKEST?

The Real Houswives of Atlanta...this isn't your cookie cutter mom

on Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Okay, so I will admit it....I watch the Real Housewives Series on Bravo and I luv it!. Is it me or is this new season based in Atlanta the most ridiculous season yet? I thought it couldn't get any worse than the O.C version, but I was wrong!
With a predominately African American cast and one (Kim Zolciak) who is the self proclaimed " black girl in a white girls body". This series show "according to a member of the cast" Atlanta's elite. Well if this is the cream of the crop, I would hate to see the bottom of the barrel!

The least crazy one seems to be Lisa Wu Hartwell



a gorgous girl married to NFL player Ed Hartwell, they go married only after knowing each other a couple of months, but seem to be going strong ( good luck with that..cause we only have one word fro you....GROUPIES) .
She has a real estate firm with her husband....with the economy sucking right now, I doubt they are doing well. She also has a line of baby clothes called Hart 2 Hart Baby......



They said that it is sold thru "Upscale Boutiques", but how upscale can it be with the items retailing under $20? And she only has about 4 pieces per girl and boys online.....so that should tell you something. And as we saw on the series she decided to start a jewelry line called Wu Girls

Most of her jewelry line ( which we saw in series) is affordable being that the average price is about 1-2K and something that you can get at any Mall Jeweler, but as we saw in the show she partnered with well known Jewelry Stephan Zale and that is not mentioned on her site....mmmnnnn, interesting.
One thing that is interesting to note, there is a claim that she wrote and produced a well known play, (especially in the african american community) called "Change is Gonna Come" that was directed by self made juggernaut Tyler Perry...who was a little known personality then. We can neither confirm or dispute that.
All in all, she seems to be the one working so much, that she doesn't have time for the petty Bulls$%t....I guess you can say she is like Switzerland...neutral.

DeShawn Snow, is the wife of the Eric Snow, captain of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers

and though doesn't work does do charity thru her foundation. BUT, she is really the start of the ridiculousness that is the series. In the first episode, she was hiring a staff


for her newly built monstrosity of a home. She was hiring a Staff Manager, Maid, Butler, Valet , Governess and Nanny for her family of four. What I found funny is that she doesn't seem to know the difference between a Governess and and Nanny and it seems as if she is just hiring this staff just to say that she has it. What really solidified her "trying to keep up with the jones" was when her staff manager was reviewing what her parents requested to be in there room upon there visit ( Irish baileys cream and some other nonsense) and she turned to her husband and asked him what his parents wanted and he replied " nothing, b/c my parents wouldn't request things"......that look he gave her said it all. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU REQUESTING THESE THINGS?.
Then she got the bright idea to do a charity event to raise 1 million dollars for her foundation. This would have been great , if she had actually thought it out and planned it.


She decided to invite the cities "elite" but didn't pre sell tickets, and then got on television and invited everyone in the city to HER HOUSE! Then they proceeded to show these peoples face and you heard the commentary that these were people who were essentially "GROUPIES"..they go to parties and try to latch on to so called "celebrities". So needless to say, these were not the people who had the big bucks needed to raise a million dollars, so after the auction ended they didn't even break even...resulting in DeShawn crying in her room...yes it was as embarrassing as it sounds! This women is so focused on trying to impress people that she doesn't realize how ridiculous she come off....here's a thought, you don't need it if someone has to explain to you how to use it!

Then we come to Sheree Whitfield

Nemesis of Nene and ex wife of a sports athlete....well pending as according to her she is looking for "some six figure settlement". She use to own a clothing boutique that is since closed and is now trying to start her own clothing line........why people, have they not learned anything from J.Lo and Tina Knowles?Wearing Cavalli , Prada and any other designer brands, doesn't mean that you can design clothes......as evident by this ensemble below....
With her overly developed "Madonna" arms and mannish demeanor , it's laughable when she talks about how good she looks . She comes off with a holier than thou attitute that we find annoying

Now her nemesis NeNe Leakes may be the most memorable of all the cast members, but also she may be one of the most annoying.


Something happened between Sheree and NeNe , which wasn't really explained, but it lead to them not being friends anymore and a sort of season back and forth battle between the two.
She also doesn't work ,but does head her own foundation dealing with domestic violence issues. There is also a rumor that she wants to own her own set of boutique hotels in Atlanta...that may be a good venture for her.
Her battle with Sheree started off with Sheree inviting NeNe to her birthday party and then "ironically" her name wasn't on the invite list at the door.
This cause her and her friend Kim, to leave the event after several words were exchanged.


NeNe then left with Kim in tow, but there last chance of "mending fences" was severed.
This leads to maybe the most ridiculous character of this series...Kim Zolciak


This wig wearing , over the top, side switching housewife is trying to become a country singer. No one knows what she even does for a living , but we do know that she as a sugar daddy who wants to remain nameless...


.....WOULDN'T YOU?
This busty Blonde accompanied Nene to Sheree's party wearing a dress designed just for her


to then turn right around and the door in "support of her friend" Nene.
We then saw her at her recording session with ex TLC producer Dallas Austin


for her new country album....to then be told in a nice way by the vocal coach that she ....well she sucks and is tone deaf! Do you see Dallas Austin holding is head down in shame?lol.
But in what was the best episode to date, the girls minus Kim and New BFF Sheree, when to dinner and NeNe started bashing Sheree and Kim's singing


This caught everyone off guard and someone then told Sheree ( she wouldn't say who it was) but we know it was ....


What NeNe was saying about her and Sheree in turn told Kim. Kim then used this to sever all ties with NeNe via Text Message


What I can't believe is that Kim is calling someone a Low Budget bitch!...is it just me or does Kim Look like a low rent CoCo...Ice-T's wife?
This was just the opportunity that Kim needed to "trade up". NeNe introduced Kim to Sheree and she saw that Sheree has access to a larger circle than Nene and now Kim had an excuse to cut ties with NeNe and move up and on!
Not that NeNe isn't wrong for talking about her friend like that , but it seemed like it was just too quick for Kim to dump her...she didn't even ask NeNe what she said or if that was true...

This show is a prime example that Money doesn't equate to class...just because you have money doesn't mean you are classy or carry yourself that way. And just because you may be poor doesn't mean that you are not classy or carry yourself with some pride. Here are examples of some of these women who look and act tacky and ridiculous and are really trying to be something that they are not.........BUT I still am going to watch, lol

WHO DO YOU THINK IS RIGHT? NENE OR SHEREE?
IS KIM USING SHEREE?
