Phaedra also took some time to hit up her Bravo blog to spread a few words of holiday cheer.? The southern belle stressed the importance of UNITY and putting aside petty differences during the holiday season.
Most importantly, we shouldn’t enter a new year carrying old baggage if at all possible.
Phaedra’s holiday message below… Continue Reading…
The couple attended Captain Planet Foundation?s annual benefit gala alongside 700 of the most environmentally conscious elite of Atlanta which included Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
The event was held at the Georgia Aquarium last Friday evening, and apparently rumors are swirling after an announcer “slipped up” and revealed some news about Phaedra.

On last night’s episode of the popular reality show, the happy couple had a mini-argument on-air about Apollo’s most recent run-in with the law.
Back in April 2011, Apollo faced a ton of blog heat when he was pulled over by Federal Marshals on a busy Atlanta highway.
Blogger extraordinaire SandraRose was the first to post about the situation, when one of her loyal readers spotted Apollo on the side of the road ‘with a pistol to his head’ (in my Phaedra Parks voice) and spilled the tea via email.
I noticed two Dekalb police cars had pull over a red BMW 740i and a guy in handcuffs on the ground arguing with the cops. When I passed by, I noticed it was Apollo, Phaidra?s husband from Real Housewifes of Atlanta READ MORE
I don’t even recall how I got in the middle of it, because as you know, I’m NOT one to gossip [insert-side eye] but I do remember placing a call to Phaedra… and another one to Sandra… and another to Phaedra.
Of course the end result was that Apollo was simply detained and questioned… NOT arrested, but in “Haterville” ATL that apparently equates to the same thing.
Oh… and then somehow TMZ got pics of the incident and the rest is history.
So the episode began with Phaedra protecting her husband and ended with Apollo protected her from Peter. Good stuff!

The 6th annual event coincided with the BET Hip-Hop Awards weekend and other attendees included Memphitz & Toya, Carlysia Levert (daughter of the late Gerald Levert), SoSo Def’s Dondria, Tiffany Evans and more.
It’s not secret that Phaedra and Apollo are my favorite RHOA couple. I was rooting for a P&A spin-off but I guess Kim, NeNe and ‘nem have reality show seniority over the high powered entertainment attorney/funeral parlor entrepreneur.
You may have heard by now that the newly engaged Kim Zolciak has her own show (that’s already in production), Kandi Burruss has her own show (where she’ll be making more one hit wonders), and NeNe Leakes was granted her own show too (that starts taping soon).
That leaves Phaedra, Sheree & Cynthia (and Marlo) to all fend for themselves and I vote that they recruit a few new “housewives” for the show. Ya know… to add some more fresh faces to the crew.

This year Grand Hustle’s brunch was a bit different. 
With his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris by his side the entire weekend, Tip hosted a slew of parties virtually drama free and stacked quite a bit of cash.
As you know he’d been released from federal custody just days before, so this year’s Brunch was treated as a celebratory “coming home” of sorts.
Only a few days free, Tip had already conducted a few interviews, dropped a new song, hit the stage during the BET Hip Hop Awards (sneak peek video) alongside Jeezy and pocketed a ton of dough hosting parties.

There were plenty of supporters in the house for T.I., including Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Real “Housewife”/Attorney Phaedra Parks and her hubby Apollo Nida, Nelly, Antonia “Toya” Wright, Dj Toomp, Heavy D, Rocko, and the list goes on.
Noticeably absent from the event was Sean “Diddy” Combs, who’s Ciroc branded vodka was one of the event’s sponsors. I’m assuming he was still a bit salty after Tip issued that verbal smack down at the club the night before… but I’m sure he’ll get over it one day.
