RHOANNENEPARTYThe previews for Rea Housewives of Atlanta: Secrets Revealed! are such to make us think this is going to be good. I am of little faith. I was not impressed by the Beverly Hills version. Let’s watch what happens…

Cynthia says that she was so thankfully that a lot of Nene’s scenes were in LA so that the fans would stop attributing her every action to Nene. I get that. It’s true that this season we sort of judged Cynthia based on her own motives and I think overall she came off well. Cynthia is so drop dead stunning, I’d hate to lose her from the show. Cynthia and Kenya went to “play golf.”  Really? Neither of these women strike me as the golfing type.  But okaaaay. Kenya is accusing SOMEONE ELSE of being gay now? For Kenya to be such dear friends with Lawrence, you would think that the whole gay thing would be more understood by here. To be fair, Atlanta has gay rumors about almost everyone from football players to musicians. But, still shouldn’t Kenya have some sort of functioning gaydar? I could see Porsha not having any gaydar, but Kenya has to know better, right? I can’t see Porsha saying that or Cynthia taking it seriously. Continue reading »

Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Part One Recap

The Real Housewives of Atlanta - Season 5It’s time for the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion and Andy is wasting no time. The first order of business is to ask Kandi about serving Kim with papers about Tardy for the Party. It sounds almost like Phaedra served the papers on Kim at the reunion! Kandi says that Kim brought that on herself She was no longer going to allow her to benefit from the song. Coincidentally, Funky Dineva, who I believe is a friend of Kandi’s and appears on her Kandi Coated Nights show from time to time recently released the unedited version of The Ring Doesn’t Mean A Thing which has Kim singing with no autotune. Interesting timing, no?

Phaedra wastes no time with the subtle jabs at Kenya saying “everyone up here is a lady,…..well everyone up here is a female.” Kenya has had her sour face on most of the time. Remind me again how I am supposed to understand that she is not taking all of this seriously, Kenya fans? Puhlease. Andy asks Phaedra what her Mama the preacher thinks about her…what did he call it? open attitude? And Phaedra is the first to say the word penis. She says she likes looking at large penises. That’s our Phaedra displaying her knowledge of being a “southern belle” on national television. Continue reading »

MarvinSappIt seems the controversy of Kandi Burruss’ recording of a gospel song continues to cause controversy. In that post we had a wide variety of viewpoints on whether or not Kandi should have recorded Prayed Up. Today, Marvin Sapp addressed the situation on his facebook after someone left a self-righteous comment expressing her disappointment in his participation in the song. Here is what he had to say. From the Facebook of Dr. Sapp:

Usually I don’t respond to people about things like this however I must this time. The problem with many in the church is 1.) that we major in minors and 2.) ignorant (not well studied) of scripture. Lets deal with the first, This woman who was an ex R&B singer that sells sex toys and live with her man decided on a show that reaches 10 million viewers per showing (believers and unbelievers) to sing about,,,, Not sex toys, drugs or living with a man but PRAYER!!!!!! and the saints are upset.

Kandi Burruss Discusses Backlash From Her Gospel Song

Will Kandi Burruss Be on Season Five of Real Housewives of Atlanta?Kandi is the type to only blog when she has something to say and this week she had a lot to say and it was all about her new gospel song. Kandi is getting a ton of mean tweets condemning her for putting out a gospel song when she has both a sex toy line and a very sexual online show, Kandi Koated Knights. Kandi reminds us that she comes from a very religious family with a long line of preachers. She was raised in the church, although she says she never officially joined the church because she knew she was not going to “follow the rules” and she didn’t want to stand up in front of her families church and lie. Her blog was pretty lengthy for her and it was entirely on this subject. Click through for a portion of what she had to say. Continue reading »

RHOAcastseason2Here we go on RHOA. Apologies in advance for the weakness of what is to come. It’s been a long day at Chez Tamara.  I’d like to fast forward through this Donkey Bootie V. Stallion Bootie shit. Phaedra thinks she is family friendly. Then she does her nasty nonsense. Whore or (by definition, white southern belle?)  I just can’t. Wake me up when this segment is over.

Cynthia decides that modeling stuff is not going well for her… so she is going to do pageants. She is charging girls to be in the pageant and then charging them for her “workshop”.  It’s a money-making venture. Sad but true. You no longer have to be a model, you just have to pay to be in a pageant. It’s smart business but trashy.

Porsha and Kenya have a white party of two. It’s staged and ridiculous. Not tonight. I’m bored. I also really should have eaten today. Continue reading »

Kandi Burruss Opens Up About Her Wedding Plans

RHOAKandiLet’s talk about some love and happiness for a change. Kandi has finally blogged over on Bravo. It seems like something has changed with the whole blogging agreement between the housewives and Bravo because no one seems to care about blogging anymore. This time last year Kandi was quite candid on an episode of Kandi Koated Nights about why she stopped blogging.  Shortly after I posted that episode on this site, it was set to private. Then this season, Kandi began blogging again. She really had a lot to say about Kim. We had some animated comments about that post. But this week, Kandi talks for the first time about her engagement. It really isn’t the giddy response you would expect from a newly engaged woman, she talks about pre-nups and introducing Riley to Todd. Kandi is always the practical one. Continue reading »

RHOAcastseason2Okay so I am ready for RHOA now. I’ve only seen the last 20 minutes because I had to watch TAR. Next week should be the last week I have that problem but let me tell you even a simple recap takes me a couple of hours. You have to edit and get the pictures together afterward because you don’t know what you will need and do all the tagging by category despite the fact y’all never use THE CATEGORY LISTING CONVENIENTLY LOCATED IN THE LEFT SIDEBAR. Anyway. Let’s get this party started.

Short scene with Kim and the girls. The point was to say how much they love living in the condo. They probably do. It’s a nice size place and back in their old school district. My DVR won’t let me pause anymore because I am past an hour so… this will be frantic.

The go-cart scene with Kenya, Walter, Apollo and Phaedra. Kenya wants to “produce” Phaedra’s Donkey Booty video. Kenya is NOT a producer. She does not have a production company. I don’t have time to get started on all that. Kenya refuses to wear her seat belt on her go-cart until the staff makes her. Kenya and Apollo race. Apollo wins. Continue reading »

Ever since I started this blog a few months ago, I’ve been doing some investigating into the RHOA trip to South Africa. I’ve been turning over rocks and trying to make friends in South Africa with people who may know something. I’ve found out bits and pieces that when all weaved together tell a story. I’ve been waiting for more than a bit here and a piece there to get some more explosive insight as to what is going on. It’s been a very slow process. Sometimes, though I forget that I haven’t told you guys everything I know yet. Not so much because I am holding back but because I wanted to know more before I posted. I wanted to have the bigger picture.

So tonight, while trying to figure out what to blog about, I realized that there is a lot I haven’t told you. More than enough for a blog post, but not as much as I would like for there to be on this particular story. I wanted to have MORE. I am working on it. But for tonight, I’m just going to go ahead and tell you what I know about the whole scene from the next episode where Marlo goes off on Sheree for not inviting her to a party. Skip through the jump for the tea.

Nobody Likes Censorship Even When It’s Part of Your Contract

21 Saturday Jan 2012

Last Wednesday, many Internet sites such as Wikipedia went dark in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA). The acts are an attempt by congress to stop intellectual property theft by people who pirate movies, music and other intellectual property for personal gain. The entertainment industry loses millions of dollars a year to the theft of their intellectual property. Today both houses of congress scrapped the acts and will be looking for a method to protect intellectual property without censorship.

One of the things that astonished me about blogging (and there have been many eye opening events) is the blatant theft of intellectual  property among bloggers.  I had not even been online two weeks when one of my posts was copied and stolen by another “blogger”. She copied my entire blog including all pictures and text, pasted it onto her site and posted it under her name.  I of course confronted her, and her response was “everything comes from somewhere”.  She didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong because that is the whole basis of her blog. She doesn’t write, she just looks around online for someone else’s work, cuts, pastes and posts next to her ads and waits for the money to roll in. I don’t call this blogging.

This type of intellectual property theft is rampant in the blogging world. How hard is it to drop a link to your source into a post? In my brief post on Wednesday about Kandi saying on Kandi Koated Nights that she was done blogging at Bravo because she feels censored in what she could say, I pointed out that one of my readers had heard the comment on KKN (identifying the source). I asked that reader to provide me with a link to the video, which she did via email.  I then listened to the show and confirmed what was said, and told y’all where in the 90+ minutes of video you could here the information for yourself.  Since that post two things have happened. Click through the jump to find out what happened.

The first thing that happened is that RHOAWetpaint “writer” Samantha Leffler ONCE AGAIN ran with the story without sourcing me.  This is common behavior for HER; however, the other authors at that site are great people who not only source my work, but even email with questions before publishing their articles. This set off a chain of articles, first Sister to Sister Magazine on 01-19 13:31 by Sonya Eskridge, then Gather.com January 19, 2012 04:55 PM EST (who did attempt to credit but since WetPaint did not credit, she credits Wet Paint) next RealityTea Written By Maria 20 Jan 2012 runs the story.

The second thing that happened was that episode of KKN was set to private and pulled from the site she uses to host her video archives sometime today.  I found that odd, and it made me feel a bit bad that I ever posted it to start with. At least for a while. I felt bad that she felt the need to take it down. Kandi obviously has a great time doing her online show, and to contribute to her feeling as though she needed to remove it entirely didn’t make me feel great. But as I thought about it, it is a show that she makes for the public. She promotes the show on twitter and encourages her fans to tune in. She knows what she says on there, and she actually talks about things from the show a lot. Also, we all know that Bravo blogs are edited both for clarity and grammar (Sheree) but for content (everyone). So it was no great shock that the blogs were edited. Nor was it a great shock that Kandi only went to Miami because no one else wanted to film with Nene. I’ve posted about that several times here and most of us didn’t need to hear it from her mouth to get that.

That said, for the past couple days, other sites are sensationalizing the video to be this big call out on Nene. Those of us who heard the video before it was taken down know it was not. Kandi just said what we all already knew that she and Nene are not BFFs and don’t speak outside of filming, so there is no breach of the friend code when she goes back to the other girls and makes fun of Nene’s comments about being rich. Hell, my soon to be (I’m getting there y’all) ex imaginary gay boyfriend, Andy Cohen makes fun of it every chance he gets.

So Kandi, if I caused you any problems, I’m sorry. I honestly didn’t think it was a big deal at all.

Wonder Why the Real Housewives of Atlanta Are Not Blogging? Here is One Reason

18 Wednesday Jan 2012

Thanks to a reader tip and email with the link, I have the episode of Kandi Koated Nights where Kandi says she doesn’t blog anymore because Bravo edits her entries. I started at about the 28 minute mark and it goes until about 34th minute. First she talks about Nene saying she plays both sides and explains she had to go to Miami because Nene would not speak to anyone else. Then she says that when she blogged to defend the whole “playing both sides of the fence” accusations, Bravo cut them out of her blog.  Then someone off camera tells her to stop talking about Bravo so she clams up and gets back to the topic.
