Instead of enjoying the season premiere episode of “The Real Housewives of New York City” last night, I just kept thinking about how much I missed the Atlanta housewives. The New York housewives, and Orange County for that matter, have nothing on those ladies. Let’s face it, “Atlanta” brought the drama in its first season…

Christmas Day

A New York Post TV critic has a real problem with the women on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” But we think Linda Stasi, the critic, should cut these women some slack, especially Gretchen Rossi. After all, we really can’t expect much from these saline/silicon-inflated women. I’ll make my case, after the jump.

We witnessed some really happy couples and some that made us shake our heads this year. We put the following 10 couples in the best category because they definitely generated a buzz in pop culture.

This year was full of surprise comebacks from celebrities to TV shows to vampires. We didn’t expect quite a few of these pop culture comebacks, but thankfully, we were happy to see them.

Kim Zolciak finally discussed her hair/wig on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion special last night. We were excited to learn what the real deal is with that obviously fake hair. But sadly, Kim let us down because she really didn’t reveal anything. She said she had been very sick, lost weight, her hair fell out and a “doctor friend” told her she had cancer. She then admitted, as a total afterthought (like no one would hear), that she didn’t actually, have cancer, but had “other stuff going on.” Since we may never know what was “going on,” unless she writes a tell-all book, we’ve come up with some theories of our own. Check them out, and suggest your own, after the jump…

Since the premiere of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” viewers have been talking about three things: Big Poppa’s identity, the feud between NeNe and Kim and Kim’s wig, which we think looks like recycled Barbie hair. As you can see, we’ve touched on the first two topics, but decided to wait and deal with the sorry state of Kim’s wig because a woman’s hair is a really delicate subject.

We don’t mean Kim any disrespect. We just think that someone who can write checks for $67,000 should have a more expensive wig. So we decided to give Kim a few makeovers based on celebrity hairstyles, so she realizes how many options she has. If she and NeNe reconcile, maybe Dwight Eubanks will style her next lace-front wig. Vote on which you like best!

If you’ve been watching “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” then you know that Kim (she’s the white chick with the extensions that look like they’re made out of Barbie hair) has an extremely wealthy, mystery boyfriend. At first we tried to figure out who it could be, but then realized that was a pointless endeavor. Well, we just heard that Big Poppa is a music executive with the initials Q. J. We’re guessing it’s Quincy Jones. This tidbit of info hasn’t been confirmed, yet, but it totally makes sense. I mean, why else would music producer Dallas Austin work with her, even though he hasn’t heard her sing? [Mediatakeout]
