In case you’ve been wondering about the whereabouts of former Real “Housewife” of Atlanta Lisa Wu Hartwell since her departure from the show…. well she was spotted recently lip locking with some dude.
And no… it wasn’t her fine “A”zz? hubby Ed!!

I exclusively revealed to you guys last week that The Real Housewives of Atlanta have all gone to South Africa to film the final episodes of the upcoming season.

Since my revelation, just about all of The Real Atlanta “Housewives” have been M.I.A. on social networking sites like Twitter (with the exception of Kim Zolciak, whose still in Atlanta).
Phaedra Parks, Cynthia Bailey, NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield have all been pretty quiet since their departure July 28, 2011, but Kandi Burruss sent a few tweets on August 1st…
EUR Web caught up with Bravo’s Andy Cohen, Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Development, and inquired about what they had in store for the upcoming fourth season.
While Andy wouldn?t confirm the ladies whereabouts, he DID acknowledge an excursion, calling it ?the trip of a lifetime.?
Check out what Andy had to say in the audio below: Continue Reading…
I was perusing the net a while back and ran across these AWESOME pictures of Phaedra Parks from her days as a college student back in the 90’s (my how times have changed!).
I wasn’t gonna use them, but figured since Phaedra’s out of the country filming RHOA, now is my chance to post them without hearing her mouth!
The photo above (right) was taken when Parks was just a mere Freshman, all smiles and ready to take on the world! Now 20+ years later… she still has that same smile and youthful glow!
Way before Phaedra became Atlanta’s favorite entertainment attorney, new mom, and sexy star of The Real housewives of Atlanta, she was a young, attractive and highly intelligent undergrad at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia.
My friends over at Starcasm tracked down her Wesleyan yearbooks (1990-1993) and shared all of Phaedra?s college pics online.
Check out Phaedra in her Sophomore, Junior & Senior years as we flashback to 90’s college fashion and back…. Continue Reading…
Word on the streets of the “A” is that Bravo has sent several of the Atlanta “housewives” packing for a while.
As proof, you may have noticed that Kandi Burruss cancelled “Kandi Koated Nights” (her online talk show) this week.
Kandi hit the tweets to give her fans a heads up that the show was canceled and she would be “unavailable” for the next two weeks.
She even explained to one follower that she canceled the show so abruptly because she has to “leave the country”…
“Yes”… I have all the T.E.A.! They’re gone now so and I’m ready to spill it…
Details below (WARNING! RHOA Spoiler alert)… Continue Reading…
The last time I saw Dwight, he was rocking a 3 piece suit in 90 degree weather at the waterpark.
At the time, Dwight was running around helping Phaedra and seemed a bit pre-occupied, but made time for a bit of small talk and a few of my required twitpics.
[Sidebar: I’m almost disappointed that Dwight didn’t try to feel me up again… ]
That was about two months ago and since then Dwight’s been ghost.? In case you’ve been wondering about the where-abouts of Atlanta’s “unofficial” real housewife, well wonder no more!
Atlanta’s favorite reality show queen recently explained to BET that he’s been M.I.A. from tapings of this season’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” because he’s no longer a part of the show!
It was very time-consuming and I only did the Real Housewives of Atlanta to promote [his Purple Door Salon] and out of three years, they have not yet shown what I really do.
I?ve had a salon for over 25 years and they just refuse to show it. It does not make sense.
If you recall, Dwight attempted to pilot his own reality show a while back called, “Behind the Purple Door” (click here to watch), but it was never picked up.
Although Eubanks has no plans on returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta, it appears he’s still hoping to get his salon in the reality show business. Continue Reading…
As the trend of “housewives” without husbands continues, it’s been officially confirmed that Marlo Hampton is the newest addition to Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
I broke the news months ago, when Marlo was spotted taping alongside Phaedra Parks at several events around town.
[READ: SFTA Exclusive: Introducing Atlanta’s New “Housewife” Marlo Hampton]
Since that time, it was found that Marlo had an extensive criminal past, and her gallery full of mugshots were revealed for the world to see.
Marlo’s “people” even reached out to me with an “exclusive” statement from the new housewife regarding her hard knock past and how she has grown from her experiences.
Well all that drama has paid off for Hampton, who as of my first post hadn’t even signed her deal. All of the drama paid off and she’s now a full fledged “housewife” without a husband! *clap for her*
Marlo’s claim to fame is her relationship with NFL’s Charles Grant, who was rumored to be NeNe’s jumpoff a while back. Marlo, who is also a stylist, even styled NeNe once or twice last season, which further adds to the drama.
I’m not gonna spoil the season for you, but you can best believe there’s gonna be a few fireworks.
What are your thoughts on this newest addition to Atlanta’s “Housewives” without husbands?
