Nene Leakes Seems Oddly Angry with Sheree and Phaedra
Nene Leakes has had a lot to say on twitter in the past day or two. Up until yesterday, it was mostly her usual tweets about what she is doing and retweeting fan support. She seems to be encouraging her fans to let Bravo know that RHOA would be nothing without her. Bravo Andy can’t […]
RHOA In Capetown: You Can Take A Girl Out of the Ghetto…
One of the Dancers from the Shamwari Drumming Scene I am trying to watch this without getting my blood pressure up, but LAWD is it hard. Marlo Hampton is the poster child for the “Ugly American” traveler. She has absolutely no idea how to travel, or more importantly behave in public. While I appreciate she […]
Orphan Tourism in South Africa
In an upcoming episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta the cast members visit an orphanage. I have a lot to say on this issue and none of it is good. What could be wrong with visiting an orphanage, hugging some socio-economically deprived kids and maybe bringing them a candy or twelve? Well lots of […]

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Fight In Cape Town
Ever since I started this blog a few months ago, I’ve been doing some investigating into the RHOA trip to South Africa.

Nene Leakes on The Game Tonight
So last Tuesday on Glee, we saw Nene’s first scene in her big role. Literally, it was one scene. While following Nene on twitter, I noticed that she was running her lines quite a bit. From the sound of things she was memorizing some major lines. She hired an acting coach in LA to help her […]
Shamwari Game Resort: The Girls Go "Glamping"
I’ve been getting some questions about Shamwari Game Reserve where the housewives and convicted felon will be going on safari. Shamwari is a game reserve, which means it is about 60,000 acres of land enclosed by electrical fencing rather than an actual wild environment like one might find on a safari in other countries, like […]

A Sister to Sister Interview with Cynthia and Another Sister
Speaking of Sister to Sister, I am sort of in love with this interview they did with Cynthia and Peter about the “ReDICKulous episode” and Wendy Williams constantly calling her stupid on her show. Who holds the camera for their interviews? Why is Peter plonked down in the interview chair? Why do they think that RHOA […]
Nobody Likes Censorship Even When It’s Part of Your Contract
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 […]

A Love Letter to Andy Cohen
Dear Bravo Andy, We have been in a relationship for a while now. Like most imaginary relationships that I have with gay men on TV, and well the Internet, we’ve had our ups and downs. But over the years, I feel our relationship has deepened. Clearly, I love you. From your wonky eyes down to […]
Why Do Women Watch Bravo TV? What is Wrong With Us?
I feel in love with reality TV when I watched the very first episode of The Real World on MTV. I was young, and I’d like to believe that at least that one season had more reality than produced scenes. I have always been a people watcher. The idea of taking a peek into the everyday […]
Phaedra Parks Insults an Entire Continent & Other Stupidity on RHOA
I can’t let this episode of RHOA go by without addressing the upcoming trip. First of all, I thought the trip was the last thing they filmed? They left on July 28th for a ten day trip. This means that the episodes after the trip will be out of order, that is going to make for a lot […]

Project Runway All Stars Design Gowns for the Opera
Tonight on Project Runway All Stars, once again, Micheal and April are making the same dress.

He’s good enough, he’s smart enough and gosh darnit, […]

Some Days Blogging is Fun, Other Days it Feels Like a Chore.
The weather is warm in the ATL today, but it is overcast and cruddy out nonetheless. Last night’s RHOA did little to inspire me to blog today. It looks like next week we will see more discussion about Marlo Hampton and her criminal past. I read her blog today where she talks about her sad […]
