Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe on the pole

Now that we know that NeNe was, in fact, a stripper before she was a Real Housewife, what do we make of the Alter Ego shoot?

Was it pre-publicity for the book?

Her way of getting comfortable with admitting something she was ashamed of?

All I know is she was one big ol' stripper.

What to Watch on Thursday: Happy Trails for Jordan Lloyd?

Big Brother (8pm, CBS) - We could be singing "Happy Trails" to Matthews, N.C.'s own Jordan Lloyd tonight. She's up for eviction and things are looking dicey for her. Tune in tonight to see how America votes.

Ace of Cakes (10pm, TLC) - A bride and groom both order surprise cakes for each other on the day of their wedding rehearsal. It's a win-win for rehearsal guests. Also, Elena makes a cake shaped like a human torso for a medical grad student.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (10pm, Bravo) - Kim gets a new nanny, hopefully one who won't tell Kim's children that they are going to hell. Then she tries to make amends with Lisa (next up - peace in the Middle East). NeNe goes full diva directing a RHoA photo shoot, and Kandi cancels her engagement party because of a family tragedy (please don't be Uncle Bebow!).

Real Housewives of Atlanta: One for the brother who isn't here

Kind of a flat show, in my view.

The Lisa dilemma, grave visit or no grave visit, wasn't all that compelling. I mean, you knew she'd go. (That moment alone felt contrived; kudos to Dad for messing it up.) And I wasn't as shocked as
NeNe that Lisa's half Asian-ness meant there were actually Asians in her family.

I agree, though, that if your brother's drinking most likely contributed to his death, it's a little weird to pour liquor on the grave. Also Marlowe, Lisa, Andre, Meho (Oscar) and Carlos. That's quite a mixture of names for the Wu kids. And why do they all look, um, different from one another?

Real Housewives of Atlanta: Is Kandi more ghetto than NeNe?

Thank goodness for editing.

The extended episode of last week's wig shifting fight only proved that Sheree was even more gangsta than we thought. (She started the tugging in the restaurant.) And that NeNe has no idea what she wants from Kim. She says she wanted Kim to just say "I said some things, you said some things, let's move forward." Didn't that happen at their private get together at Cinco?

And why is Michael Lohan everywhere?

What to Watch on Thursday: Nicole Kidman on "Project Runway"

Into the Pride (8pm, Animal Planet) - Ten weeks into his stay with the pride of "problem lions" at Namibia's Erindi Private Game Reserve, Dave Salmoni is troubled by his lack of progress with Cleo (left), the queen of the pride, who only wants Dave to disappear. If you know what I mean.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (9pm, Bravo) - First we get the "director's cut" of last week's "Unbeweavable" episode in which Sheree tried to "shift" Kim's wig. Not sure exactly what that means. Extra fight footage? Then in a new episode at 10pm, Sheree attends a bodybuilding event and Kim has some nanny drama when she finds out her kids have been left unattended. All of which begs the question: Why does a woman without a job need a nanny? 

Project Runway: All-Star Challenge (8pm, Lifetime) - Before the official start of the new season (which begins at 10pm), eight designers from previous seasons compete for a $100,000 prize. Nicole Kidman makes a cameo appearance, setting up a challenge for the eight contestants. In the 10pm Project Runway season six premiere, 16 fresh hopefuls are introduced and begin their competition. Series regulars Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia return. The show, which previously aired on Bravo and was based in New York City, is now based in Los Angeles.

Real Housewives of Atlanta: Joining Team Kim


How did I end up on Kim's side?

It might have started last week, when NeNe and Sheree pretty much ambushed Kim by terming their meeting an 'intervention?'

But the real turning point was last night when Sheree lost her mind and tried to 'shift' Kim's wig a little bit.

Sheree, really?

What to Watch on Thursday: 'Into the Pride' tries to save problem lions

Into the Pride (8pm, Animal Planet) - Dave Salmoni lives with a rogue, aggressive pride of "problem lions" in Nambia in hopes of saving them from elimination. Because of eco-tourism in the area, if the lions can't be calmed down, they will be destroyed. There's a second episode at 9pm in which Salmoni stands up to Brutus, the pride's dominant male cat. I know Salmoni is still alive because I saw him on the "Today" show Wednesday. But even knowing he's alive, the footage of him facing down a charging Brutus with only a wooden staff for protection is heart-stopping.

Royal Pains (10pm, USA) - Andrew McCarthy is back as Tucker's dad, who decides to undergo a rapid detox system to kick his drug habit, even though Hank tells him the idea is dangerous. That means Hank will have to save his life with a garden hose and a ball point pen before the episode ends.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (10pm, Bravo) - Tonight, Bravo tells us that we see the "fallout" from Kim's meeting last week with NeNe and Sheree. This is the episode where Sheree, who apparently does not care that she has young children who will most likely watch these episodes one day, tries to pull off Kim's wig during an argument. 

Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe and Kim, a love-hate story

To be continued?

Are you serious?

I guess they couldn't have two big fights in a row.

So after the Anthony/Sheree fight that RHONY Bethenny aptly described as "straight Compton", we begin this week with Sheree talking about the fight with her friend Tania. Sheree is bummed that she won't have the I'm-happy-I'm-divorced party because it meant a lot to her. She says now she'll do something intimate because everybody has a story and they should know there is a light at the end of the table.

Atlanta party planner explains "RHOA" fight with Sheree

Anthony, the hot-headed party planner who nearly came to blows with "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Sheree on last night's episode, has posted a video response in which he explains his behavior.

In the argument, which occurs at the end of the episode, both Anthony and Sheree act disprespectful and, we'll say it, crazy. But Anthony's behavior was more surprising because a/ we already know Sheree is crazy, and b/ Sheree was paying Anthony to do a job for her.

Well, not so, says Anthony. According to the party planner (who admits his behavior was "not acceptable"), his company was not working for Sheree. He says his company was asked by Bravo to incorporate Sheree's party into an existing Atlanta Music Festival event, and that she made demands (helicopters, boats, etc) and was not even compensating his company.

Watch the video below.

Real Housewives of Atlanta: Sheree lets her Cleveland out


We were waiting.

How were they going to deal with NeNe being evicted from her home?

What about Sheree and her 7-figure yearnings and divorce from Bob?

Is Kim still with Big Poppa or not?

How would they work in the new girl?

We got our answers. But all that was eclipsed by the Battle Royale between Sheree and the party planner. It was crazier than the RHONJ table fight.
