The Real Housewives of Atlanta are still reeling from last week's strippergate and we're here to break down all the drama from this week in our +/- recap!

Let's get to it:

Phaedra must really feel bad about offending Kandi's Momma because she shows up with a cake as an apology. Plus 8. Despite the stripper, the girl does have some good Southern manners.

Of course that doesn't stop the two from discussing RiDickculous' talents, if you can accurately call them that. Phaedra insists he is something that must be seen and the ladies decide to petition his acceptance into the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.

Kandi's a little ticked at NeNe for bolting from her birthday party and not saying goodbye. Minus 5. That was a little rude.  haedra wonders why a former stripper was so offended by a stripper. 

Minus 10 to Kandi's Momma, Joyce. She really needs to give this thing a rest. Kandi didn't know Phaedra hired a male stripper for her birthday. Stop talking about you daughter's lack of respect and move on.

I can only imagine what Momma's reaction will be to Kandi's adult toy line. Now that should be fun.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta had another party this week, this time for Kandi's 35th birthday. Unfortunately, a surprise guest upsets Momma and THG is here to take you through all the drama in our +/- recap!

First we get to recap last week's drama when Peter and Apollo nearly came to blows at Kim's baby shower. Kim's ticked and rightfully so. Next time she'll remember to "keep the ex-cons and a$$holes off the guest list."

But Phaedra steps up and earns a big Plus 10 showing up to Kim's with a gift basket and an apology. She may not have been able to stop the men at the time but at least she did the right thing coming forward and saying she was sorry.

Neither Cynthia or Peter bothered. Heck, they were five hours late and didn't even send a gift. Minus 15 because that's just beyond rude.

Speaking of Cynthia, try as she might to mend fences they just seem to burn. She calls her sister over to talk to Peter about the incident at her wedding a year ago. Who could have guessed this wouldn't go well? Minus 10.

You can't force people to make up and nothing got accomplished here except for dredging up bad memories that won't soon be forgotten.

Later, Cynthia and her sister argue about Peter's new bushiness venture. Unfortunately, Cynthia doesn't know her sister is right.

Bar One is in financial trouble before it's even begun and Peter's going to look to his wife to bail him out. Minus 9 because that's just going to widen the divide between Cynthia, Peter and her family.

Since when does a baby shower include brawling house husbands? Looks like that's the way they do things in Atlanta, or at least on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

"Shower the Baby" gave Kim Zolciak a baby shower to rival most wedding receptions and we'll break down the drama in The Hollywood Gossip's weekly +/- review.

But first we have to sift through the boring stuff ...

Looks like Sheree's building herself a new McMansion but she's being practical. It will only have the necessities: a ballroom, a spa area, a space for the DJ and a theater. Just the basics. Plus 8 because she's planned ahead. There's enough room to expand later if 8,000 square feet becomes too cramped.

NeNe and estranged husband Gregg have a quick and awkward chat when he comes to pick up their son. NeNe wants to know if he's dating anyone. He says no but then she won't answer the same question. Minus 5. If you're going to ask the question, expect to have to answer it.

Once he's gone, NeNe admits she doesn't think she can sign the divorce papers. Minus 7. Well where does that leave them? They certainly don't seem happy so will they continue to live in limbo or head back to a miserable marriage?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta took a trip to Miami this week and set the town on fire! Well, not exactly. But we'll recap it for you regardless, THG +/ style!

After a solid Season Four premiere, this may have been the most boring trip for any of the Housewives franchises. NeNe takes Kandi and Cynthia down for some time in the sun and sand but there's little fun to be had. Minus 10 for a yawn inducing segment.

The funniest part is that it's more of a girls weekend than expected as Miami is hosting a Lesbian Pride event. Plus 8 because that's not what these ladies were expecting. This prompts a conversation about who is willing to bat for the other team. Neither NeNe or Cynthia are willing but Kandi says she's open to it, but just sex, not a relationship.

But Kandi is really focused on finding NeNe a new man. Minus 10. Does anyone remember that she's still married? I know she's separated but that doesn't mean divorced. What's the rush?

As we rehash last week's NeNe / Sheree fight, as I'm sure we will for many weeks to come, Kandi wants to know if NeNe really told Sheree she was rich. "I told her I'm rich. Guess what? I am." 

NeNe can't stop flaunting her newfound wealth but can she really afford that $9 million pad in Miami? Minus 7. This girl needs to slow down before she can no longer tell people how rich she is.

Phaedra's continuing to follow her new passion for dead people. Not surprising her husband questions this new interest. Plus 5 for someone having some sense. She wants him to be a part of her venture. Perhaps he can pick up the dead bodies or learn to be an embalmer. Ah, no.

Talk about their lucky day.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak married Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann yesterday afternoon, 11/11/11, according to reports.

"Beautiful weather! Beautiful day! I'm walking on a cloud and I'm so grateful," the reality star, 33, Tweeted Friday shortly before marrying the NFL player, 25.

The couple, who welcomed their first child, son Kroy Jagger Jr., together in July, said their vows around 4:30 p.m. at their home in Atlanta, Ga.

The couple sent mushy Tweets to each other on their big day, with Zolciak re-tweeting a special missive from Kroy Biermann – "Thank u everyone 4 your early congrats and best wishes!!! @Kimzolciak has made me the happiest man alive!!! 11.11.11."

She then added, "I love u."

Two of the most special attendees at Friday's wedding event? Daughters Brielle, 14, and Ariana, 9, from Kim's prior relationship. "He's really fantastic with my girls," she said.

"I couldn't have asked for a better partner ever."

Congratulations to Kroy Biermann and Kim Zolciak!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta came back in style as the ladies all showed off their new ventures in Sunday's fourth season premiere. Covering everything from babies and modeling to sex and death, THG breaks it down in our + or - review ...

Kim's living large, really large.

In her eighth month of pregnancy, Kim's cooing about Kroy, her baby daddy and her brand new McMansion complete with a pool, basketball court, and movie theater. Plus 10 for finding a home with plenty of space for her wigs.

Pregnancy agrees with Kim. It's the best excuse to complain that her breasts are too heavy and lounge around in bed all day. Plus 5 for realizing that being pregnant isn't a free pass to eat. Of course that doesn't stop her from sending the kids off to get her some baked ziti with jalapenos and sour cream and onion potato chips. 

Unfortunately, Sweetie put the gold plate in the microwave. Minus 8. It's always such a bitch when the help does that.

NeNe's still riding high off of her Celebrity Apprentice run. She says Trump taught her the importance of negotiating which comes in handy when she goes to buy Bryson a car.

NeNe's getting divorced and her 21-year-old son won't move out on his own but life is good because she can write the $13,500 check to buy the new Charger. Plus 10 for knowing how to look on the bright side.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns to Bravo on November 6 and, based on the opening of the following season four trailer, you'd think all was calm in the world of NeNe Leakes, Kim Zolciak and company.

They kick off the video on an African safari, after all.

But then Kim takes issue with NeNe dating while only being separated from her husband; Phaedra Parks fight with her man about opening a funeral home; Sheree Whitfield battles for custody; Kandi Burress explores the world of country music and Leakes and Whitfield have the following, tremendous exchange:

NeNe: I am very rich, b--ch! Do you understand?
Sheree: You must not know what rich is... if you're rich, you need to get your f--king teeth fixed! How 'bout that?! | permalink

All this, and Marlo Hampton appears throughout the season and gets involved with Charles Grant, NeNe's alleged ex-lover. Look out! View the official preview below.

Marlo Hampton is about to enter The Real Housewives of Atlanta fray. She might wanna wear a helmet.

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports that this 35-year old stylist has joined a cast led by perpetually fighting frenemies NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak. She'll debut on the show's new season and is described as an "entrepreneur, stylist, TV personality and philanthropist." Of course.

Hampton has worked with Young Joc and Jazze Pha and will launch an online boutique on August 1. She's also been arrested seven times on charges that include firearms possession and aggravated battery.

Take a look at one of her mug shots now and let's welcome Marlo aboard!

We hope you are sitting down, The Real Housewives of Atlanta viewers. Because the following news is truly shocking:

On Sunday night's reunion special, Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leaks argue, continuing the fight they had from a couple weeks ago about the way in which the former treats her assistant.

"I think you can dish it out but you can't take it," Leakes tells her frenemy. "I don't accept verbal abuse well, and I will not accept it, okay? So I am completely done."
