The Real Housewives of Atlanta Return November 2?

claudia jordan

This may be true, and not much of a surprise since   needs to speed up the production schedule, as their other “flagship” franchise,  The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is sinking faster than the Titanic in ratings.

Add to that, Bravo was blindsided by the courts when the sentencing of Teresa and was postponed from the original date, July 8, to September 23. Bravo will have to do some fancy footwork to change the final episodes of Season 6.

“Word on the street” (ha ha) has all the cast members returning, including and Kenya Moore. Bravo is adding Claudia Jordan and Demetria McKinney to the cast, a move designed to create fireworks.

from the Examiner:

Phaedra Parks  just announced the premiere date for the upcoming seventh season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta ." Although Bravo has yet to confirm the news, Parks took to Twitter where she shared the date with fans.

In a tweet earlier this week, Parks made the official announcement, telling fans she and the rest of the cast would return on Nov. 2.

According to an Aug. 26 report by Wetpaint Entertainment, Parks said, “We will be back first Sunday in November!” The message came after a fan asked the mother of two about the new season.

Although Parks' return to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta " was pulled into question months ago after her husband, Apollo Nida , was sentenced to eight years behind bars, her co-star, recently confirmed she would be back.

Despite the blustering and shouting, the return of , at a reported $500K salary cut, was a foregone conclusion.

Where else does she have to go?

UPDATE:  The entire cast is  currently filming in Puerto Rico......don't display public foolery, famewhores! The locals won't appreciate it (been there, seen that, have the video and mugshots to prove it!)

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is currently in production.

Joe Giudice Gets Caught

confronts joe on the of new jersey

A short history lesson: During Season 1 of the , there was a cast member named DeShawn Snow, then married to Eric Snow of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

According to sources, she was not only let go after only one season because she was boring, but because then husband Eric treated her so badly on camera that the production crew had to warn him and re-shoot most of their scenes. A year later:

ERIC SNOW HAS A GIRL WITH BABY MAMA

The point?  Things sure have changed in Bravo TV land. On an upcoming episode of the , Joe Giudice is caught on the telephone with one of his hoochie-mamas, with many speculating it is the elusive  Tara, the girlfriend he has had for years, who once posted under the twitter handle of petiteposie.  I broke this story in August 2010, from a source I promised to never name.

The production crew not only picks up the conversation, it has been widely reported that it will be featured on the August 19, 2012 episode. Commercials on Bravo with the hateful, ugly words Joe uses talking about Teresa. A featured item on the Bravo TV website.  Endless speculation and moral outrage because Teresa will not leave Joe.

Joe was a fool to get caught with his microphone on.  Teresa is so accustomed to horrible treatment she could never think of divorce. She is a traditional Catholic, divorce is out of the question.  The humiliation she must be feeling can only be eclipsed by the way this will affect her daughters, especially Gia, the oldest.

Bravo TV is looking for a ratings bonanza from this family’s pain, and they will get it.  Advertisers will be happy, will be especially happy, the other RH’s on the New Jersey Housewives show will be jumping for joy.

Wonder if there’s a hell?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sunday nights on Bravo.

Announcing Absurd to Sublime.Net

 

b78482697z120090406134700000g0rhaeqr1_lg

 

Here’s the dilemma:  Wordpress.com won’t let bloggers monetize, and Blogspot, owned by Google, won’t communicate.

As the old saying goes...you get what you pay for. Absurdtosublime.blogspot.com was removed by Google on April 14, at 2:00pm. At the time, I had 230000 hits, and over 200 posts. No spam or viruses were found on the site. 

I never received an explanation from Google.  Did someone in Orange County  known for tampering around with blogs, newspapers and message boards have a hand in this? Perhaps.

Anyway, I launched REALLY ABSURD as a temporary blog while I considered my options.  My option: Purchasing my own domain.

ABSURDTOSUBLIME has been a difficult and time consuming venture. One thing about blogspot, they do make it easy!  I have had many false starts, and I’m still having glitches and problems.  But it’s up and running.

Timely and interesting posts about The Real Housewives Franchise and all the wacky characters can be found at the new blog.  Wordpress.com linkers, some of the old blogspot links are irretrievable, many are posted at Boxxet and Zimbio. Blogspot: Many will link back to really absurd, at least the older posts will.. The Gretchen Rossi/Jay Photoglou/ Slade Smiley  story is still at MORE ABSURDITIES

Thank You for making this move with me.

Sheree Whitfield Sells Home

Seven figure Sheree accepts six figures

shereewhitfieldhome

Sheree Whitfield has finally sold her home in Atlanta, but for way below what she was  asking for.  We first heard about Sheree Whitfield ‘s home for sale a few months ago. The house was actually put  into foreclosure, even after the asking price was lowered to $2.4 mill.  The price dropped to $995k , and some lucky buyer snatched it up.

Real Housewives Chicago: Prepare for Embarrassment

housewives_newjersey320 As if Chicago’s politicians aren’t embarrassing enough

excerpt from BILL ZWECKER Sun-Times Columnist

“We don’t know if Chicago can match the delightful bitchiness of ‘‘Real Housewives of New York’’ — or the similar ‘‘reality’’ intrigues of the other Bravo shows set in Atlanta, New Jersey and Orange County — but there’s a team of producers out there willing to give a try!

The talented folks at Towers Productions are currently casting for a Chicago housewives show.

Do we have our own version of LuAnn ‘‘The Countess’’ de Lesseps? Or (my personal favorite) Jill Zarin? Or Bethenny Frankel? Or Kelly Killoren Bensimon? Or Ramona Singer? Or that all-too-scary Alex McCord?

I know we do, and I hope that some of Our Town’s extraordinary ladies decide to take the bait and audition for the show Towers Productions is putting together.

According to Towers’ casting director Becky Cattie, the hope is to find women who could give this formula ‘‘a new twist,’’ showcasing a ‘‘really unique group of ladies to represent the Midwest.’’”

Down to earth?!! Umm did anyone see my big fat fabulous wedding with Tommy and Dina? Well Dinas on Real Housewives now, along with her sister and 2 other obnoxious women. I know all of them and they dont have the money that they portray to have!! This is going to be a hysterical show!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I dont know if you read the post's above, but this is my FAMILY your talking about.
Do you have access to their bank accounts? No, you don't. So how can you commment on money?? You can't.
And if you knew them as good as you seem to think you do, you would know that they are down to earth.
Jealousy is a bitch, huh?

I know the ENTIRE family of some of the "wives" being filmed. Bravo is missing the boat. Some of the men are much more interesting. A little "dangerous" too!

Your "family" is obviously a bunch of attention getting morons. what is this, the 4th reality show they have tried to capture attention with?!? They make themselves look retarted... they may have money, but sure as hell are lacking CLASS.

One loser is definitely from Franklin Lakes. Her wedding was on Platinum Weddings. What next? Is Dina the one who cheated on her first husband? Rich as in illegal wealth? So impressive!

I heard that they are driving around looking at houses that they cant afford, pretending they are going to move. PATHETIC. And she left her former husband for Tommy, FACT not rumor "family member". Stop defending them, they are putting thereselves out there...they are going to be criticized.
Um most people wish they were like them?? They are white trash with a little bit of money that got to their heads.

one of the pathetic losers that are on this show, is a very close relative of mine. Don't understand how that show chose her to be on tv. If anyone knows who I might be talking about, what an idiot, clueless mother and a housewive that has no idea what her husband does and who. She definitely needs a reality check.

 
Anonymous said...

I know one of "housewives" very well. I could not agree more with the above comment. It may look like they have money but, that is not the case! Why don't these mothers go read a book to their children instead of running around with cameras in their face. Just from knowing some of the girls on this show I can see why Bravo didn't pick woman with real money and class they picked the dumb ones with no class and charge cards, it makes for a better show. Why don't they donate some money to charity instead of worrying about out doing each other with material things.

 
Anonymous said...

Totally agree with previous comments. I know the two sisters on the show and know a third housewive (not so much a housewive at home) I would love to see a show about their so called husbands. I know alot of ones' husband and he definitely is not too involved with his wife and three kids. But what she don't know, she will never have a clue about!!!!!!

Dear Anonymous,
One more thing. If you are a "Close Relative" as you say, you are a real creep. One, for going off on a family member, and two if that is remotely true about one of the husbands cheating, why not tell her? lies,lies, and more lies...you are a jealous ass.

Hey I just heard the news that this show is coming to town. What a bunch of pathetic housewives that would take part in a show like this!!!! Can't wait for this premiere. Just 5 stupid housewives from Franklin Lakes, Wayne, Towaco and maybe Paterson since that's where their originally from. Get an education, teach your kids how to read a damn book, and stop wasting your life on a show that will totally embarass you because you really don't have that perfect life. That goes for the dumb housewives on this pathetic show

I just found this blog. Very mean spirited. Although i would NEVER subject myself and family to that type of exposure, (cuz you're asking for this type of trash talk!) I don't think these women deserve the venom being put out here! It sure does sound like jealousy. I think the show will be fun to watch and I HOPE Bravo doesn't edit to make these girls look like jersey mob wives a la Carmela Soprano. And by the way, I think i know one of the girls and she is a nice, sweet person- a little showy and materialistic... but isn't that what the other two housewive series portrayed/ be nice.

Actually, you can blame Bravo as they do have an agenda and a preconceived idea of how they want the series to go. I am positive they chose these women because they thought they were attractive, wealthy and interesting. If the women do not supply the drama- Bravo will... with creative editing and by filming certain events where they know drama can happen. ( usually where alcohol is involved)
I can guess that these women have thick Jersey accents, dynamite figures, over the top personalities and lives- otherwise.. who would watch the show??!!

Do not worry, these women CAN and WILL supply the drama. Bravo will not have much work to do. They picked these women because they know they are dumb enough not to care how they are portrayed. Some of these girls are attractive, wealthy, and interesting. That is if you consider woman who shop all day and gossip all day interesting. The economy we live in today is at its worst. More then half of Americans have homes in foreclosure, parents can’t afford back to school clothes for their children, and middle class Americans are going to food banks. What are these rich women doing to help those less fortunate then them, NOTHING! I bet they don’t even know who is running for President!

By the way which is all too "close to home". Some of you people know too much stuff. Grow a set of balls and tell them how you really feel. If not, get a life and log onto match.com. You obviously need a man

I personally know one of these ladies, and am hoping the show does not portray her in a bad light. In reality she is a sweet sweet person who just loves her kids and wants to do the best she can.
We are all spectators to this, but remember sometimes it does come down to editing, and NO ONE IS PERFECT!

this is quite funny cant believe they are actually doing this show on these classless bimbos. These people are the jokes of our town. It's really a shame our town will be portrayed this way when there really are classy people that live here, I can't imagine any of the good familys participating in this. But hey, i guess the trashy ones make better television. Everyone loves a good laugh at a bunch of disfunctional people! And from the looks of it they are more than willing to expose themselves and their families. Some people will stoop low for fame and attention, despite the effect it may have on their families. Shame on them. Selfish

Wow. Just found this site and am amazed at how many negative and angry posts there are about a tv show! I saw filming a few weeks ago at a photography studio in Ridgewood. I saw Dina and Tommy on "My Big Fat Wedding" and thought they acted a bit over the top and trash-mouthed. Tommy and his brothers own a very nice, locally popular event/catering hall. I know alot of people who know them and use their facility frequently (which is in Paterson.) Many were a bit turned off by how they acted on WE TV. Do they really want all this controversy and attention again? WHY?? I think it may be bad for business!:)

I, too, will think twice about giving my money to the Brownstone again. How unprofessional to broadcast this frivolous drama for all to see!! ( I am curious to see it unfold, though!) Get the popcorn ready 

Employees at The Brownstone have their say:

I am a friend of Teresa's. Based on your posts I know who you are. It is really sad that you need to do this to make yourself feel better. She wouldn't do this to you. Cut it out before the family finds out and you cause a family war over this nonsense. Is it really worth it? Also, YOU need to pick up a book- your spelling and grammer is that of a five year old. As far as people who wont give another dime to the Brownstone...your loss,the place is amazing. No worries, go pay twice somewhere else.

I also work at the Brownstone. Albert and Tom are two of the hardest working people in the place. They will wash dishes, clean garbage, and even vomit if they have to. Also, I see thier families come in all the time just to visit them because they spend so many hours there. They also are very good to all of us. I have been here over fifteen years and would never think of leaving. They are like family to me and treat me like family too, the same goes for thier wives and children.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and your posts.
I am thinking this next season of Housewives (NJ-style) is going to be the most interesting out of all the locations to watch.
Holy cow, you guys are great about participating in the discussion.
Feel free to use pan names instead of "Anonymous" though... It helps us figure out which "team" is commenting...

Good idea Missus! I have been riveted to this online stream of consciousness regarding the Housewives of Bergen County. Obviously Bravo knows its stuff and chose the right people for the show. People seem to really love them or hate them. As an objective blog stalker (tee hee) I would have to say that I have heard plenty of true reasons for the love... but I am still trying to figure out why is there so much hate?
Did these women steal your husbands? Your money? Have they hurt your children? What have they done to you personally that they deserve all this hate?
Now, when the show starts and we see silly, over the top behavior we can all dish. But it won't be so personal or cruel. I don't even know these women, but I do feel bad that their kids and family read/ hear all this negative stuff based on opinions of anonymous people.

Is this an English class? or a spelling contest? It's a BLOG, GET OVER IT, lol. Who the hell cares if stuff is spelt wrong? Obviously, this SHOW is your biggest problem and for that, I envy you. I happen to have BIGGER problems than trying to "expose" someone from a TV show and check peoples spelling, lol. So basically, I don't really give a sh*t if my posts have all the i's dotted and the T's Crossed.
That was a pathetic attempt to try and bring me down. Try again. I'm sure you can do better. :)

wow...Teresa's "family member" just won't let up will she? Don't you see that someone is about to expose you girl??? Do you want your dirty laundry aired??? Cause I think it's about to happen. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones now should they???
I suggest you cram it, before you are really sorry that you ever decided to write your first evil envious lie on here. Let it go now before someone starts writing the FACTS about you. I haven't told her about this blog yet, but you just don't want to let up. I really think it's time to stop before you make a bigger fool of yourself honey. Don't make me go there, cause I WILL :)
Let the fans make their own judgement on these girls...I think they are going to love em.

HOLY CRAP!!!
I am one of the girls that did the show. I had no idea that we were so "popular" or even that interesting for that matter. What the hell is going on here???
Some of these blogs are quite obvious who they are- good and bad. For those who have been nice...thank you for havin' our backs. For those who are nasty...it's kinda sad really. If you have issues with us...let us know to our faces. You obviously are not just random people that google a show that hasn't even aired yet. We don't care what the general public will say when it airs...we put ourselves out there so we will have to take the good with the bad. WE KNOW...WE KNOW
So at this point all I could say is lighten up...it's just a silly show.
God...I don't know if we should be flattered or if I should update my security system...I'm gonna go with the security for now.
By the way, I was going to put my name on here...but I will make you wonder just like we have to about you. :)

lol....that's some funny sh*t you have in your head. As far as I know being part of the show...None of us are trying to stop anything like that because as far as I know none of us cheat!
Maybe I am nieve...but I know all of the other girls that are married on the show very well and they are pretty loyal to their husbands. So you really shouldn't say something that you know NOTHING about. That's just plain old mean.
Well, I am not going to indulge these nut bags anymore...just wanted to put my 2 cents in.
By the way...we chose what was filmed and what wasn't. If any of us were trying to hide anything would we chose to have it filmed??? come on. Think a little...you could do it ;

Seriously, as an objective observer- what have these women done to deserve such venom? I really want to know! Why are you so mad at them? And if they're as terrible as you say- shouldn't you feel sorry for them instead of trashing them and their families?
And, would you still be writing all this if you couldn't write as anonynous

wow... the women on this show actually do give as much as they can to the hospital for the children... most of the women on this show actually have jobs and even come home and cook a mean as meal... everyone must really want to on the real housewives if they are this jealous and making asumptions on the girls this early.. to actually asume things about these girls is completely wrong when they are so false...reading what everyone has to say makes me laugh... the people who comment this are "housewives" who really have nothing to do with them selfs and should take care of their own lives and watch out for their own husbands and children and not care what others want to do with their lives... let them live their lives the way they want and u live yours the way u want and shut up.
everyone knows that the behind it all Bravo cut out and eddit all the good they will be doing and be putting words into their mouths for the people on this blog to comment about.
so believe what you want bc what everyone on this blog will flare up about wont be true

Seems like she is looking to blame Bravo already....it is unreal they go on this show then they don't want to be judged. If people don't like them they will blame the editing team of Bravo. You have nobody to blame but yourselves.

 

This is unbelievable! I am good friends with Teresa and my daughter has done acting with her daughter. This is a wonderful family with beautiful, smart,and talented children and Teresa and Joe are a happy inlove couple. These bloggers couldnt be more wrong! I would hope this person /or people are random misfits because if they really do know them,then they would be speaking the truth and not mean lies. Teresa is not a dumb woman. She is a funny, smart woman and great friend that can manage her family like its nobodys business. Im sure when the show airs, people will see her and her family for the fun, outgoing family that they are. Plz stop the mean blogs and just watch the show. Its all for fun anyway, lets not be so serious! are you mad they didnt pick you? Geez!!luv ya Teresa.

I went to a birthday party this weekend and meet Teresa and her girls for the first time. She is a really nice and down to earth person!! Her girls are beautiful and 3 of the happiest well mannered and caring girls I have met. I have an 19 month old daughter that runs around and gets into everything, Teresa went out of her way to help me with her. Her girls wanted to share everything with my daughter. As I was leaving her oldest daughter stopped me to give me a pumpkin she painted for my daughter and she had painted a few but wanted to make sure she gave me the prettiest one for her. They are great girls with a good mom.

The family in question is really fun!! They should ALL be involved in the show. Hey Bravo, How about a show just for them!!! You would have a #1 hit. They are VERY funny.I have known them for 15 years, TRUST ME!!!

Lisa Wu Hartwell on“Double Standards”

excerpt from essence.com

Before you think about calling Lisa Wu Hartwell a ghetto drama queen, check Webster for the definition of ghetto. Despite behaving like the consummate professional throughout  the debut season of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta," Hartwell was quickly labeled ghetto once she confronted cast mate Kim Zolciak's slanderous remarks about her and her kids. Yet the "Housewives" franchise welcomes ratings-induced drama including an upcoming episode of the New Jersey edition which shows one of the the wives wilding out in a restaurant. ESSENCE.com asked Hartwell to weigh in on whether or not she thinks Black women are judged more harshly than their White counterparts and why.

ESSENCE.: The ATL "Housewives" show will be returning for a second season and is the highest rated of the "Housewives" franchise. It seems that the other shows are following the Georgia Peach lead for great ratings.
HARTWELL:
Absolutely, they do. There's always a double standard. Perhaps, we are held to a higher standard of excellence but real situations happen. It's just unfair that people pass judgment and call our show ghetto but when they talk about the women Orange County or New York or New Jersey shows they call it entertainment. I believe that the way that we've been raised as Black people—always keeping secrets in our family and really witnessing Black women go through it—that we are judged harshly. For instance, there's a teaser for the New Jersey show where one of the women flips over a table in the restaurant. Now had any of us done that we probably would have lost some viewers and been told that we lack class. Unfortunately, certain behaviors are more accepted from our counterparts than they are among us. So tell me is their show ghetto or simply entertainment? People need to understand that ghetto isn't a color, it's a state of mind and being.
ESSENCE.COM: So what would you say to ATL "Housewives" critics?
HARTWELL:
People have always said that we don't represent the women of Atlanta. It is impossible for five women to represent all the women of Atlanta but some might be able to relate to someone on our show. I've had some people say to me after seeing the argument I had with Kim, "I thought you were different." And I simply had to say that I'm human. Maybe some situations we handled were inappropriate behavior, but it's always easy to criticize and say what you would do when you're not in the situation. I'm sorry that they find our behavior offensive but oftentimes we don't really have a chance to think about our actions, or what we say. Are there certain things that in hindsight I wish I could take back? Absolutely. At the end of the day we are all human, but cut us some slack as you do our counterparts. It's all entertainment. Remember, you're only seeing a fraction of our lives, not the whole pie.

Lisa apparently doesn’t read blogs and message boards, lol.

The Faux Famewhores of Beverly Hills

Real Housewives
from TMZ

"Bravo is looking for outgoing, exciting, strong, focused women who reside in and around the Beverly Hills area that want to share their lives.
We are looking for women who are lively and energetic, with defined opinions and views. Our featured women should have busy lives, be involved with the community, have a strong work ethic, and an active social calendar."

Translation -- They want some unbeweavable, crazy, catty, standoffish quasi-rich chicks who are willing to drum up enough faux-drama to keep people glued to their TVs. It's Bev. Hills, people... they shouldn't have too much trouble.

Hey, I’m in...bring ‘em on, Bravo

She By Sheree Fashion Show

from people mag

"Seven Figure" Sheree Whitfield finally shows a fashion line.

May 13, 2009

A fashion show with fashions might sound fairly standard, but fans of the Atlanta Housewives know that such a feat proved to be a major challenge for Sheree Whitfield on the show’s first season.

The divorced diva successfully pulled off a do-over without major incident Tuesday night at Atlanta’s W Hotel. “I am on cloud nine! I am very, very pleased,” Whitfield said after receiving a standing ovation as she pranced down the runway in a form-fitting black satin cocktail dress and fuchsia pumps.

Debuting her long-anticipated She By Shereé fall clothing collection with fellow costars Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu Hartwell, NeNe Leakes, and new girl Kandi Burruss(a singer-songwriter from platinum-selling ’90s R&B; girl group Xscape) looking on from the front row gave Whitfield the chance to redeem herself — and for PEOPLE to catch up with Atlanta’s ladies.

“It’s all about sexiness and celebrating a woman’s curves,” Whitfield said of her collection of form-fitting dresses and casual wear festooned with rhinestones and fur. “When a woman puts on my clothes I want her to feel sexy and classy.”

Even rival Leakes admitted that it was a change from Whitfield’s infamous clothes-free “fashion viewing” featured in the show’s first season. “I liked that she had a jumpsuit in the collection. That is very in, very happening. She had a lot of variety: dresses, furs, gowns and even a jogging suit,” Leakes told PEOPLE. “It went from nothing coming down the runway to something.”

Cast members are remaining tight-lipped about what to expect from a new season, only promising to deliver plenty of drama. Kim Zolciak hinted that her singing career is still on track (even if her friendship with Leakes is not. “It is what it is,” she said of their relationship). “I am so happy with my music career,” Zolciak said, “I’m really excited about it. Everyone’s going to die when they see what happens.”

What about the cigarette smoking? “I still smoke all day,” she said.

The overly active Hartwell expressed happiness for Whitfield, telling PEOPLE, “I love to see anyone out there pursuing their dream.” And she remains as busy as every, pursuing dreams of her own with a fashion line in the works as well as a book about domestic violence. “Expect more drama for sure,” she says of Atlanta’s season 2, “but lots of entertaining moments. We share a lot of personal stories that will touch people.”

Added NeNe’s “gay boyfriend” Dwight Eubanks: “It is so over the top that we’re going to be the number one reality show on TV!”

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Oh Mama Mia!

nj1

Caroline Manzo is the matriarch of the family in the old fashioned, old world way. Everything real revolves around her.

That being said, Dina Manzo and Danielle Staub  will bring the over the top drama. In a feud reminiscent of the Sheree Whitfield/ NeNe Leakes feud on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, these girls will go at it with even more vengeance.

Danielle clearly has problems.  Caught in the middle? Sweet Jacqueline Laurita, Danielle’s friend and a member of the Manzo family. a family “thick as thieves” with no friendship outside the family.  Or shall I say “The Family”.

Theresa Giudice, in the meantime, not only needs to get her twohead threaded into a forehead, a la Anchal on America's Next Top Model, but also needs to worry about  the IRS, as she walks around with over $100,000 in her bag.  Puh-lease!  Aren’t any of them worried about what they show on television?

Guess it doesn’t matter to famewhores.

Lisa Wu Hartwell:”Closet Freak”

lisa-hartwell

Lisa Wu Hartwell, the pint-sized hustler from The Real Housewives of Atlanta just dropped a clothing line called Closet Freak, inspired by the nickname given to her by her fellow ‘Housewives’ co-stars for being undercover with her wild ways. Looks like she’s maximizing the hell out of her 15 minutes.

 

ESSENCE.COM: Last night was the unveiling of your new collection, Closet Freaks. So exactly how risqué are these garments?


HARTWELL: (Laughs.) It’s not what you might think. It’s more than just a clothing line, it’s a movement. I don’t claim to be a fashion designer, but I am about women’s empowerment. When women wear Closet Freaks apparel they know that they are empowered and confident. You don’t have to dress provocative to be sexy. You can still be a lady and leave some things for the imagination and the bedroom.

ESSENCE.COM: We hear that. So what inspired the name?


HARTWELL: (Laughs.) Last season on the show there was an episode where someone was teaching us how to pole dance, and we were sitting around and the instructor said we had to come up with a “stripper” name. I couldn’t think of one for the life of me, but when they put on the music and I started dancing (remember, I used to be a hip-hop dancer for Public Enemy and E.P.M.D. back in the day) they all started calling me a Closet Freak and I’m like, Hmmm, I can brand that name and turn it into something positive, so I did. I plan to include thongs and other items as well.

Here’s hoping she has better luck with the clothing line than Sheree Whitfield

Real Housewives, Real Insanity

I can’t believe this photo....Vicki and super-hypocrite Ramona at the A-List Awards! Hope you weren’t eating!

Each woman was given $4,000 to buy an outfit for the show. (But they’re rich, right Bravo?)

These are the outfits these bitches came up with:

Tamra Barney in a too tight dress, with her usual pose. Vicki’s dress is ugly and too tight, and what the hell is Gretchen wearing? Lynne is wearing one of her cuffs and a too short dress, Jeana looks great, Lauri looks plastic.

Kelly didn’t get the memo about being too old for bohemian chic.

NeNe Leakes looks very tranny in this photo. Kim and Nene both need to cover those fugly knees. Lisa in the yellow shoes, is this the prom?

Too many train wrecks in one room, and the tranny in front completes the picture. And who are all the extra women in the picture?

Dwight Eubanks: No Down low for Him

See photos from Dwight's B-Day bash »

This story has been floating around the internet for awhile

“America's favorite Atlanta Housewives” star Dwight Eubanks has the blogosphere in an uproar with news that he is getting a wife of his own. The flamboyant hairstylist who was first introduced as NeNe Leakes best friend and confidante on the premiere season has confirmed exclusively to ESSENCE.com that he is engaged to a woman.

Although a date has not been set, Dwight's bride-to-be has no qualms about his appreciation for both sexes. And it hasn’t stopped other women from pursuing the hairstylist and divo extraordinaire for romantic liaisons.

“I get more play from women than men," says Dwight, who recently celebrated his fiftieth birthday with a circus theme and male and female models to escort him through the room. "I can’t get a date with a man, but the women are knocking my doors down. They just love you when you can be real about who you are.”

And this isn’t Dwight’s first time planning to get hitched to the fairer sex, quieting speculation that his heterosexual relationship is a publicity stunt to garner buzz for his upcoming Bravo reality show.

“I was engaged two years ago to a prominent lawyer in the city,” he shares.

In Atlanta, a city known for its high population of gay and rumored down low Black men, keeping it real remains an important part of a relationship. Dwight shares he is completely honest with his intended about his sexuality.

“It’s really interesting because the men are so standoffish, but the women don’t care," says Dwight. "Most of the men around here are gay, lying to their wives, slipping and dipping and all that, but it is what it is. You have to enjoy life, and that’s what I am doing.”

When did down-low men become the new black? Ask these divas:

Liza Minnelli

Lisa Marie Presley

Terry McMillan

and Star Jones...to name a few.
