In anticipation of the new season, Bravo will air a “Before they Were Stars” feature on the Real “Housewives” of Atlanta this Sunday (October 30, 2011).

The special will feature a hilarious look at a few of our favorite Atlanta “Housewives” before they made it big by acting an “A”zz on national television.

In a sneak peek clip, a young Kandi Burruss sings alongside her Xscape bandmates and rubs elbows with the likes of Mariah Carey, while NeNe Leakes works a stripper pole, Kim Zolciak hadn’t discovered wigs and rocks her real “mousy brown” hair while dancing as a pre-teen, and Cynthia Bailey is seen sashaying down the runway.

I didn’t spot Sheree Whitfield or Phaedra Parks in the clip, but you can catch Phaedra’s flashback HERE…

As for Sheree? Well she probably prefers to keep her shady past a mystery…. 😕

Check out the SNEAK PEEK video of Atlanta Housewives Before They Were Stars…

Atlanta Housewives Before They Were Stars is scheduled to air this Sunday, October 30, at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo.

What do you think these ladies would be doing if they hadn’t been chosen for the show?
