Wanted: The Real Housewives of Atlanta!

Wanted: A good dose of zany from the Real Housewives of Atlanta . Just like Sherman marching through Georgia,  the Atlanta housewives are like a force of nature,something the anemic  Real Housewives of DC can never be. Like “Gone With the Wind” we’ve even got new housewife attorney Phaedra Parks claiming “I don’t know nothing ’bout birthing no babies”, as you can see in this video.  Her real drama is the fact that she’s married to Apollo Nida, an ex-convict, whom she likens to Martha Stewart. Then there’s Cynthia Bailey, a former model, who gets married, amidst much Nene Leakes drama.

Speaking of Nene Leakes, we see the breakup of her marriage to Gregg Leakes and Bryson, her older son with his continuing run-ins with the law.  Count on her to be the loudest, most irritating drama queen of this franchise.

Kim Zolciak will contribute her own level of publicity-seeking crazy. Now that the break-up with “Big Poppa” Lee Najjar seems real, with Najjar posting on twitter yesterday to Jonathan Jaxson, Kim’s former publicist, that he wanted nothing to do with Kim, how will it play out with her latest Boytoy.

Then there’s Sheree Whitfield, who tries to play it cool and calm….until you piss her off!  I hear there’s a 2010 Shebysheree…we’ll see.

Kandi Burruss, the Grammy Award winning songwriter and singer, was very likeable last season. We’ll see if she has caught the second season syndrome disease, or not.

Missing from the cast is Lisa Wu Hartwell, eased out by Bravo and only appearing briefly in season 3.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres October 3.
