Remote Control: What You’ll Want To Watch This Week

Bravo

As it gets progressively colder and more blustery by the day, your television is probably seeming far more appealing than it did in the glory days of summer. Luckily, there’s tons of great stuff for you to watch. This week, Wil Wheaton returns to the small screen, the “Glee” kids bust a move, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” say adios, and “My Super Sweet 16” gets a horrifying makeover.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Recap: Lisa Is An Instigator

I’m a little disappointed in the behavior of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast members. On last night’s episode, all the women came together for the first time this season. NeNe had arranged for a private tour of a King Tut exhibit that had come to Atlanta. Kim showed up, and I think the only reason she did was because you can’t exactly have a show about five women if they’re never around each other. She latched onto newbie Kandi because Kandi genuinely reserved judgment about her until they had a chance to meet and talk. While they were chatting, Lisa made fun of Kim’s singing and tried to convince NeNe and Sheree to interrupt the conversation. This is why Lisa is an instigator. She tried to get the beef going once again at a museum exhibit. Remember, Lisa was the one who told Sheree about NeNe’s song last season, and we know that was partly to blame for the feud between NeNe and Kim.

A Totally Hilarious “Real Housewives” Spoof

Bonnie Hunt and Niecy Nash spoofed Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” on “The Bonnie Hunt Show” last year. Although the video is from 2008, it’s still hilarious, especially given what we know about NeNe and Kim’s friendship. Bonnie is a dead ringer for Kim, but Niecy will always be Niecy to me.

Can Gay Men Sexually Harass Straight Women?

Here’s a question: Can gay men sexually harass straight women? We’re aware of three instances in which gay men have felt it appropriate to fondle women without their permission and justified their behavior because they’re homosexual. Dwight Eubanks, the “sixth housewife,” was a major player on last week’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” but one thing I noticed about him was that he feels up every woman he meets. He grabs and jiggles breasts, runs his hands up and down legs and thighs, and inspects faces. (Watch the video above starting at 4:10 for a taste of his inappropriateness.)

Anderson Cooper And “Real Housewife” NeNe Take Their Relationship To The Next Level

Anderson Cooper and NeNe Leakes truly heart each other. Their romance began a year ago, during the first season of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Anderson appeared on “Ellen” and said, “I like to keep abreast of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ I don’t even know where to begin with NeNe. You have to sort of watch to enjoy the fullness of NeNe.” He motioned towards his chest.

Kim Zolciak Admits To Hitting NeNe Leakes In “Real Housewives” Catfight

Kim Zolciak Admits To Hitting NeNe

The ongoing she-said-she-said feud between Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes has a new twist. Kim has admitted to striking NeNe during an alleged brawl in April. Initially, Kim claimed NeNe choked her. Now, Kim has admitted that she smacked NeNe’s finger. She says she struck NeNe only after NeNe put hands around her throat. “I was not pleased with the stuff that’s coming out her mouth, but as far as putting your hands on somebody, absolutely not. I didn’t touch her first,” declared Kim, adding, “She put her hand in my face after she choked me the first time, and I smacked her finger out of my face.” Just say no to catfighing, ladies.

Remote Control: What You’ll Want to Watch This Week

Degrassi Goes To Hollywood

I live in a 400-square-foot apartment, yet my television is four feet wide. Hey, don’t judge me—you know you have a TV problem, too. Even though it’s gorgeous out, and you should probably be outside soaking up the vitamin D, here are the shows you’ll definitely want to catch this week. Things start off slow, but pick up thanks to Bravo and amazing new episodes of “NYC Prep” and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” By Friday, it’ll be a full-out boob-tube orgy with the premiere of “Degrassi Goes to Hollywood,” (FINALLY!) “Mad Men,” and “My Antonio.”

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Recap: I Don’t Know Who To Believe

I’m so confused, y’all. Last night’s episode was all about the feud brewing between Sheree and Kim, and the one simmering between Kim, Lisa and NeNe. And I can’t tell who is lying, who’s acting extra for the cameras, and who really should be friends. After the jump, I recap what went down in The ATL when “The Real Housewives” tried to discuss their drama.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” will be back tomorrow night, y’all, and we, meaning Amelia and I, can’t wait.

“Real Housewife” NeNe Pens An Autobiography

NeNe Leakes' Autobiography

In the downtime between the first and second season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” NeNe Leakes, who you may remember as Anderson Cooper’s biggest fan, spent time writing an autobiography. The memoir, Never Make The Same Mistake Twice: Lessons on Love and Life Learned the Hard Way, hits bookshelves August 11 and is destined to be amazing. While the Amazon description is a little dry (”NeNe charts her journey from family black sheep to single mother to making good and realizing her dreams”), there is mention of juicy gossip hidden in the 240 pages. Specifically, it’s alleged that NeNe dishes on fellow “Housewife” Kim Zolciak’s stripper past! Before she became the whitest-housewife-who-is-black-on-the-inside, Kim supposedly performed in Atlantic City under the name “Barbie.”

Get Ready For “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season Two

NeNe’s gonna meet her real father! Sheree’s gonna get evicted! And she shoots guns! And she pulls at Kim’s wig! The promo video for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season two is reality TV heaven packaged into 30 seconds. It definitely looks like the Atlanta ladies are bringing their A-game to compete with the “prostitution whores” of New Jersey. I can’t wait to “watch what happens” in exactly 20 days when the next season premieres.

Who IS Kandi Burruss, Anyway?

Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Kandi Burruss will replace boring DeShawn Snow on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for season two. Bravo producers fired DeYawn because she’s “too human for a circus show” and that “because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn’t think that I would fit in,” she told Essence.com. Holding her own against NeNe and Sheree seems like a tall order for Kandi to fill, but we think this born and raised Atlanta native knows the ins and outs of Atlanta’s social elite and will definitely give these women some competition. And as a Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, maybe she can help Kim Zolciak with that ill-fated singing career.

  • Okay, so we kind of knew this already, but Kim Zolciak’s Big Poppa was indeed ATL real estate developer Lee Najjar. Why else would Kim have “Lee” tattooed on her left ring finger? [Dlisted]

    Another “Real Housewives” Arrest And A Few More Rap Sheets

    Kelly Killoren Bensimon Assault Arrest

    The talent of “The Real Housewives of New York” seem like the classiest and most sophisticated of the housewives bunch. I mean, LuAnn deLesseps is writing a book on etiquette and Alex McCord’s sons speak like 15 languages. Plus, the women are actually immersed in New York’s high society. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have their legal woes too. Kelly Killoren Bensimon, the newest addition to “The Real Housewives of New York” cast, gives off an air of refinery, but this former model can get down and dirty when she wants.

    Embrace Your Love Of “The Real Housewives”

    The Real Housewives

    Elizabeth Hayt over at The Daily Beast describes Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise as a “post-feminist nightmare that preys on women’s shallowest, least-attractive qualities” in her article, “Wives Gone Wild.” But she, like the rest of America, can’t stop watching. Here’s why you should embrace your love of these women, even though they exhibit the worst of stereotypical feminine traits.
