DEGREES OF SHADE

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Reunion: Who’s The Shadiest Of All?

By Karen Malmquist

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL, Who’s the shadiest of them all? Yes, “shade” was once again the magic word during part two of Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion. Is anyone surprised? And hold on to your wigs, because whether we like it or not, Kim is back.

Picking up from last week, NeNe discusses her newfound love for sitting back and watching the drama unfold around her — instead of starting it herself. Getting to observe the train wreck instead of creating it seems to be a refreshing change of pace for her.

THERE’S BEING TARDY FOR THE PARTY, AND then there’s being so late that the party’s over before you even arrive. On Sunday’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the ladies manage to miss a party thrown in their honor, but somehow negotiate for a cheese plate. Don’t say they aren’t good businesswomen.

NeNe and Gregg have finally settled into their LA home, so they decide to invite the girls to come visit before they head to Vegas together. NeNe seems to think there will be no drama on the trip, because Kenya and Phaedra will stay away from each other. Honey, if that was the case, this trip wouldn’t have made it onto the show.

HER RAISON D’ETRE

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kenya Reigns Again!

SOMETHING STRANGE HAS HAPPENED TO KENYA MOORE — the crazy seems to have been exorcised from her body, at least for an episode.

On Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, it was as if Cynthia’s beauty pageant was her church and the vintage Miss USA sash was her holy water.

Cynthia is working to put the finishing touches on the Miss Renaissance pageant when Kenya shows up with potential new talent for the agent. The girl is 16 and looks like a model, so Cynthia is impressed and even offers her a spot in the pageant.

KENYA MOORE MAY NOT REALLY BE BIPOLAR or alcoholic, but Sunday’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta teases that something serious may really be going on in her body.

While we wait in suspense to find out what’s wrong, let’s empathize with Porsha’s latest dilemma: princess dresses.

Porsha has her mom and sister over to help her pick dresses for Kordell’s 40th birthday party. She’s modeling a poofy princess dress, and they’re not feeling it. Then, for the first time in her life, a light bulb goes off over her head and she throws on a Tina Turner-esque number.

HERE SHE COMES, MISS RATCHET USA!

Booty battles show no sign of slowing Real Housewives of Atlanta, as Kenya and Phaedra continue to butt heads over serious booty business.

Cynthia is at the Branner Brothers International Hair Show, judging the hairstyling competition. She’s got her work cut out for her, because the hair in the room would put RuPaul’s Drag Race to shame. Kenya is also there to support Cynthia, as well as tell spread the word about her latest endeavor. She and Cynthia tell their friends Derek J and Miss Lawrence about Kenya’s upcoming workout video for “stallion booties.” Miss Lawrence and Peter say that they’d rather have a stallion booty, anyway, and Cynthia agrees that it would probably sell more than a donkey booty video.

THE ENNUI OF MARRIAGE

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE A STRIP CLUB to really test the bonds of marriage. On Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, the couples return from paradise to face trouble in what used to be one of the strongest-looking marriages on the show. Could Phaedra’s donkey booty not be enough for Apollo?

THE CRAZY JUST KEEPS COMING WITH KENYA MOORE. Miss “Gone with the Wind fabulous” sashays back to her room after last week’s blowout between her and Porsha, but the drama between Kenya and Mrs. Cordell Stewart is far from over. Cynthia is surprised at how “crunk” the fight got, noting that she and Kenya are very close in age: “Well, if she called me what she was calling Kenya that would surely start a fight.” I believe the word was tramp.

THE VERY FORMER MISS USA IS TWIRLING HERSELF into a tizzy over who’s classy and who’s ghetto and who’s the crazy one. (It’s Kenya, people. Kenya’s the crazy the one).

The madness began last week when Kenya started flirting with every man in Anguilla, but specifically Apollo. Phaedra is obviously upset that Kenya asked who she would want Apollo to “have fun” with for a night. Tonight Phaedra and Kenya explain their sides of the story. Kenya says she was just having fun, but Phaedra isn’t playing around.

“Hold On To Your Weaves”

Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Holding Their Breaths Vs. Waiting To Exhale

WELL, IT’S HAPPENED: KIM ZOLCIAK IS NO LONGER A REAL HOUSEWIFE OF ATLANTA but just an Atlanta housewife. We can’t say we didn’t see this coming, as the last two seasons of this Bravo series has seemed more like two different shows: one a Housewives franchise; the other, the Kim-stomping-around-pregnant-and-yelling-at-Sweetie show.

After last week’s contretemps over not being able to go to Anguilla, Kim rips off her microphone, flees the restaurant and swats at the camera saying she’s “done.”
