Lot’s of gossip is getting around about last night’s premiere party held at Peter’s lounge, Bar One. But for the most part what you need to know is that Gregg was there. Are you shocked? Me neither.
Gregg hung in the background as Nene was all over the place getting her drink on and her picture made with everyone there until 2 a.m.
If that guy looks familiar to you, it’s because he is a very popular stripper in Atlanta who has been in a bunch of Tyler Perry movies and as you may recall on RHOA season three when Kandi was doing her Kandi Coated nights webcasts.
According to Freddie O, who was at the premiere party at Bar One last night, “Greg Leakes came out to support Nene and show love. Nene informed me that although the two are not together, they still are good friends and will continue to support each other in their endeavors. Plus, Nene is happily dating a new boo and we will be revealing MORE information about him very soon!”
I guess bringing your new boo to the same party your husband is attending with you would have been awkward.
In other news I was reminded of an article I read onwww.decaturmetro.com last summer about filming for this season, and I am just going to cut and paste it here so we can all be on the lookout for the scene.
Real fakes: ‘Housewives’ tape in Decatur
Andisheh Nouraee | July 17, 2011 | 11:24 am
On Thursday evening, Bravo network’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” taped scenes in Decatur’s Wahoo Grill. There were three large TV cameras facing a table facing the restaurant’s front window. Seated at the table were four ‘Housewives’: Sheree Whitfield, Kandi Burress, Zeppo and Shemp (i.e. two I didn’t recognize).
I knew reality TV was more fake than Atlanta Public Schools test scores, but until I ate a delicious fish dinner adjacent to a taping of ‘Real Housewives,’ I didn’t understand the mechanics of the fakeness.
How fake is ‘Real Housewives’?
1. It was a restaurant scene, but the women didn’t actually eat during the taping. According to a restaurant staffer, dinner gets in the way of taping.
2. The conversation was repeatedly interrupted and guided by a crew member. The women would talk for a few minutes, then a crew member would approach the table and tell the women what to talk about. At one point, the crew member told the women they needed to switch to a light topic because they’d already spent a lot of time on serious topics.
3. When one of the crew members was leaving, one of the ‘Housewives’ said she would see him tomorrow at the ‘funeral home scene.’ If she’s calling it a ‘scene,” how ‘real’ can it be?
4. For some reason, the first taping of the women exiting the restaurant didn’t work. At the crew’s direction, the women returned to their seats, then taped a second exit scene.
5. After ‘exiting’ Wahoo for the cameras, the women returned to their table and ate dinner. The meal was not taped.
When we retrieved our car from the valet, my wife asked him if he valet if the ‘Housewives’ drove fancy cars. “Yes,” he said. “But they were all rental cars.”
If I come across any other interesting tidbits, you know I will post them.
I don't want to know this isn't all absolutely real and that these women really do run around public places screaming at each other and random passerby.
I do!!!!
lol Molly. Keep bringing the dish, Tamara. I love seeing Nene getting caught in somewhat hypocritical situations, considering all the shit she gave Kim. Wasn't "Big Papa" essentially just as married as she and Gregg are at the moment? New boo indeed!
My girl, NeNe, looks like she lost a bit of weight in her face in the new pic. And she is rocking the blonde hair. Thanks for the update, Tamara.

Rumor has it Bravo has has to pay for rental homes for a few of the girls in past seasons. SHOCKER!
