NeNe Leakes

Tonight, viewers were treated to an extra long version of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Why? Was it worth it? Hard to answer either question conclusively, but we've broken down "New Tricks" in our +/- recap just the same!

Picking up where we left off in last week's episode, Sheree and Phaedra have a sit down after their day in court. Sheree's upset because she feels things didn't go well.

Phaedra's unhappy after Sheree bad mouthed her abilities as an attorney to Kandi over lunch. Then there's some general bickering over money and when it was paid. 

Minus 10. I don't know what Sheree expected Phaedra to do. Stall tactics are a normal part of court. Sheree acts like she wants Phaedra to play hard ball but when Phaedra told her to throw her deadbeat ex in jail for not paying his child support for four years, Sheree balked.

Anyway, Phaedra gives Sheree her retainer back so Plus 8 for offering before she was asked. The two decide to end their bushiness relationship and remain friends. Sheree snarks that she's relieved because she couldn't figure out how to fire Phaedra. Problem is another attorney will probably charge her more and do the same damn thing Phaedra would do.  

Kim's all excited over the big move to the new house and I have to admit that watching her and girls pack up the townhouse was a little touching. Plus 7. They've spent five years in this home but now it's time to move on with new family members Kroy and KJ.

The move has all the stress those things normally have but at least Kim's wigs are well cared for. Plus 3. Each is named and has it's own seatbelt to secure it in the vehicle.

It's Tuesday and we're watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta? Is anyone else confused? Due to the special night, we thought perhaps this would be a very merry holiday episode, Atlanta style. Instead things got downright down and dirty.

Let's break it down in THG's +/- review!

Bob's dragging Sheree back to court to reduce his child support payments. Reduce it to what, you might ask, since he hasn't paid a nickel in four years. Minus 15. You can't reduce nothing from nothing.

So Sheree hires Phaedra to represent her and the legal diva gives Sheree some advice. First is to have Bob hauled off to jail for failing to make his support payments for four years. Plus 10. Despite the current court case Sheree still has the right to hold his feet to the fire on that one but she backs down. She doesn't want to do that to the father of her children.

Minus 12, honey. He's got no problem bailing on his kids and he'd probably step over Sheree if she fell down in front of him. Isn't it past time to kick a little Bob butt?

Phaedra's second piece of advice is that Sheree not drive up in her brand new Porsche or wear her most expensive outfit. Sheree is aghast. What she has shouldn't matter and ideally she's right but it's not smart to ask for money when you're holding a $16,000 purse.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta focused on the mommas and babies this week as the mommas primped and Kim and Kroy's baby finally made an appearance.

Now, we run down the lack of baby drama in THG's +/- recap!

Is Kim really wearing a wig while in labor? Minus 8 because I can't think of anything sillier although thankfully I didn't have a camera crew on me when I was in her position.

Kim thinks Kroy is too calm but her girls realize how nervous the man actually is. How come Kim's kids seem smarter than she is? Does Kroy have any clue what he's in for? But overall, the entire labor goes by with a lack of the Atlanta drama we're used to.

Plus 20 to Kim for delivering a healthy bouncing 8 lb. baby boy, Kroy Jagger Biermann. Congrats to the entire family. 

Other mothers in Atlanta aren't having as easy a time. Sheree's chateau is still a hole in the ground and as she's still contemplating serving her cheapskate ex with court papers for child support he beats her to the punch.

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.

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.

Bryson Bryant is in trouble with the law again.

The son of reality star NeNe Leakes, Bryant was arrested in Georgia last night for an alleged shoplifting and probation violation.

Details are scarce, but TMZ reports the incident took place around 9 p.m.

Last year, Bryant was booked for possession of marijuana. No word yet from NeNe or any of her reps.
