The Real Housewives of Atlanta is in the midst of taping their 4th season and we are already anxiously anticipating a ton of DRAMA!!
I told you a few weeks ago to mark my words about a new addition to the cast,? 35 year old Marlo Hampton, who is joining the show with quite a bit of baggage.
[READ: EXCLUSIVE! Introducing Atlanta’s New “Housewife” Marlo Hampton]
Marlo has been boo’d up (and reportedly engaged) to NeNe’s rumored jump-off Charles Grant and since the revelation that she’s joining the show, a slew of Grant’s baby mama’s have come outta the woodwork.
Grant and Marlo have been kickin it over a year and rumor has it that he has a 2 month old baby (in addition to 4 or 5 other kids by several other women).
I’m pretty sure all that baby mama drama is irrelevant to Marlo, who merely wants a taste of the good life and a portion of Charles’ bank account…. but I digress.
What’s even MORE gangsta than Marlo latching on to a dude who (alledgedly) used to bone NeNe Leakes, is her joining the show knowing she has such a long “A”zz rap sheet.
Hampton has been spotted out again taping with the Sheree’ Whitfield, Phaedra Parks and Cynthia Baily, but I wonder if they realize they’re hanging out with a convicted felon with an extensive (and I do mean EXTENSIVE!) criminal past?
Marlo who originates from Tampa, Florida, has not 1… not 2… but SEVEN arrests on her record (that we know of)…

Lisa Raye and Stacey Dash take on prime time in a new VH1 series entitled, “Single Ladies”. The series premiered Monday night with a 2-hour episode.
Executive-produced by Queen Latifah, the show is a scripted ?romantic comedy series? taped and set in Atlanta and features a ton of A-Town locations and cameos including Jermaine Dupri, Rozonda “Chill” Thomas, Cam’Ron, Eve, Lauryn London and more.
It’s premise is “the life of an Atlanta single lady” and while it is quite entertaining, there are mixed reviews on how it portrays single life in our city.
“Single Ladies” recap with photos PLUS full video of the 2 hour season premiere below: Continue Reading…
Well… it’s official! RHOA’s Kim Zolciak is a mommy (again).
Kimmie and her baller boo, Atlanta Falcon’s player Kroy Biermann announced the good news last night via Twitter:
Zolciak, 35, and her walking paycheck, 25, met last May when Biermann and Sheree Whitfield participated in the Atlanta’s low budget version of Dancing with the Stars, which aired during Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

In typical gold digging fashion, Kim gives birth almost a year to the day of meeting her financier… which means she got knocked up somewhere close to 3 months after meeting Kroy. [Sidebar: The girl works fast… that’s for sure!]
I’m sure we’ll be seeing more about their “relationship” when Kim’s new show premieres later this fall.
Kimmie has never revealed her due date but she appeared as if she was about ready to drop that load 2 months ago during her baby shower.? Her new addition joins her two daughters (14 & 9) from a previous marriage.
Random: I wonder if Kim kept her wig on during the birth?
Congratulations Kim & Kroy!!
Can’t wait to see pics of the lil bambino… 🙂
