Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss?and?of The Real Housewives of Atlanta recently revealed that they were spending an evening with Season 5 newbie Kenya Moore.

I was the first to tell y’all way back on May 5, 2012 that Kenya would be joining the cast and even though NeNe Leakes tried to cast doubt on my story with her statements on Wendy Williams‘ talk show, most of you guys know I would never steer you wrong (not on purpose anyway).

I love it when you guys pay attention!

On that note… remember Nicole Porche, the rumored new addition to Team Smalls? I have an update on her PLUS?more Real Housewives of Atlanta TEA below…

All the ladies look great!

It looks like Kenya has already switched teams after that altercation she had with Cynthia Bailey and her crew during that Jet Magazine Model Search.

Personally, I’m hoping and praying that Bravo ditches that whole #TeamTalls and #TeamSmalls mess, it’s all so elementary school-ish.

Where do they come up with that nonsense anyway?

I guess stranger things have happened.

At any rate, I know lot of you guys were hoping and praying that Marko Marlo Hampton would be making a comeback on Season 5 as a “real” housewife, but sadly it’s not looking good for the kid.

The ladies have been filming for over a month now and there ?have been absolutely no Marvin Marlo sightings since those cameras have been rolling.

Word on the curb is that?Martavious?Marlo has been?turning tricks?traveling the globe since season 4 wrapped and word on the curb is that Bravo never invited her back to the show.

My guess is that she may pop in a time or two since Lawrence is still doing her hair. And I know for a fact HE has a contract with the show this season and will be filming at his salon aka Prive’ (which really isn’t Lawrence’s salon at all, but I’m sure they can use the free exposure).

As for the rumored addition of Nicole Porche… well she’s been booted before she even finished her acting class.

I’ve heard that Nicole was actually involved in several other “reality” type ventures and once Bravo found out about those, they didn’t think it would be a good look to have her on the show.

One of my sources confirmed that Porche had even taped a pilot of some type of Real Estate reality show with Meeka Claxton. ?MEEKA CLAXTON… from basketball wives. ?Ummm yeah… these broads want shine where ever they can find it.

And while I did hear that Nicole’s husband (or ex husband depending on who you ask) was some sort of jeweler in New Orleans, I couldn’t help but wonder why Bravo would choose an “actress” over say…. Sherlinda Parker (Q. Parker of 112’s wife) but they did.

For some strange reason, Sherlinda just can’t catch a break with the producers of the show. ?I’ve heard she’s been trying for the last 3 seasons to become a “housewife” and has taped several times with members of the cast, but there’s always something about her that producers don’t quite like.

Oh well…. the search continues for the 2nd addition of the cast. Bravo is clearly getting desperate and pulling at straws. It will be quite interesting to see who they actually come up with.

Maybe they’ll give one of the three previous “housewives” a call to come back…

DeShawn Snow?went through a dramatic divorce just after she was given the boot from the show after the first season. Now she’s?is doing big things with her new line of children’s books.

Lisa Wu aka Sharon Millette is recovering from her divorce from Ed Hartwell?but I’m sure she’s got nothing better to do at this time.

And even though Sheree Whitfield claims she quit before she got fired, I would put money on it that Bravo wouldn’t have to ask twice… she’d return in a heartbeat!

Lately Sheree has spent time?doing interviews reiterating that she wasn’t fired, ?that could be better spent developing her She By Sheree fitness line.

I guess only time will tell.

Oh… and I hope Kim Zolciak‘s racist “A”zz gets phased out totally… like forever ever…

Are you anxiously anticipating the new season The Real Housewives of Atlanta?

Who would you recruit for Team Smalls?
