Simply put, Porsha Stewart made a fool of herself on The Real Housewives of Atlanta last night. With the ladies taking a tour of Savannah and stopping by First African Baptist Church, their tour guide mentioned that the ventilation holes in the floor were where “people crawled under to escape slavery.” But, wait, Porsha interrupted… “there has to be an opening for the railroad,” she said, clearly confused over where the conductor and all those cars would go. “It wasn’t a train,” Phaedra Parks explained to her co-star. “It was a euphemism, baby.” “It’s almost hurtful to watch her be so dumb,” Kenya Moore said of Porsha’s comment,, while NeNe Leakes simply added: “Ding. Dong.” Watch the clip now and then head over to TV Fanatic to watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online : The Real Housewives of Atlanta Clip: The Underground Railroad Wasn’t Real?
The Real Housewives of Atlanta had Kandi Burruss “Save the Drama For Mama” but if Mama’s not careful her wedding invite might get lost in the mail. We break down all the Mama drama in THG’s +/- review … Goodness knows Mama Joyce was always a little off but the woman was riding the crazy train on the latest Housewives. Minus 25. Poor Kandi. Todd seems like a really good guy. He’s stable and honest and he loves her. Plus 40. But that’s not enough for Mama Joyce. He’s not a millionaire so he must be taking advantage of Kandi because in Mama’s head that’s just what men do. Funny thing is that Mama Joyce seems more concerned about herself than her daughter. Who stomps into someone else’s home and asks why there aren’t more pictures of them up? Minus 11. Then Joyce starts throwing shade on Kandi’s long time friend Carmon making it sound like Kandi’s best gal pal and her fiance are getting it on behind the scenes. Talk about drama. Minus 33. Kandi Burruss should have been showing Mama the door. Plus 42 to Todd who miraculously kept his cool when most people would have lost it. Even when Joyce insulted his choice of engagement ring the man held his tongue and was respectful. That must have taken some self control because I know I was yelling at my TV. Kandi and Todd’s finances, relationship or pre-nups are none of Mama Joyce’s business and Kandi needs to stand up and tell her so before Todd has enough of this nonsense…which would make Joyce perfectly happy and that’s nothing but sad. Minus 15. But Kandi’s not the only one with relationship issues. Phaedra still wasn’t speaking with Apollo as she headed off for Alabama. Perhaps Apollo should beware…she was going to learn how to embalm a body. Maybe she thinks it will come in handy closer to home. Seriously though, Apollo went to Peter for some marital advice and it wasn’t half bad. Plus 18 . Peter pointed out that the last thing Phaedra wanted to hear was how Apollo Nida could have had Kenya if he’d wanted her. The correct answer was, Honey, you’re the only woman I want. And Kenya Moore was definitely using those text messages to embarrass Phaedra. Another plus 10 to Peter for calling it. Back home Peter had more fatherly issues to deal with. Cythina’s daughter Noelle says she’s got a boyfriend. Although I agree with NeNe that 13 is way too young to actually date, plus 30 to the parents for getting together to discuss boundaries and showing the kids how to be respectful to one another and the adults. Kenya finally picked out a place to live but does anyone really care? I found it funny how Kenya now called NeNe her good friend because she took an interest in her home search. Minus 12. Girl, NeNe was making fun of your rental in case you hadn’t noticed. And Porsha Williams takes a look at a beautiful condo…but she’s just not ready to move out of Momma’s. Well who would be? Momma gave her the master suite and serves her breakfast every morning. Who in their right mind would want to leave? EPISODE TOTAL: +44! SEASON TOTAL: -287!
The Voice Season 5 picked up Monday night with the top eight singing for their lives once again. Did the favorites continue to outshine the competition? Team Christina’s Matthew Schuler, Team Adam’s James Wolpert, and Team Christina’s Jacquie Lee came in with the best shot, according to oddsmakers. Team Blake’s Cole Vosbury and Ray Boudreaux, and Team Adam’s Tessanne Chin and Will Champlin were next, followed by Team Cee Lo’s Caroline Pennell. Can any of the also-rans become contenders before it’s too late? Let’s break down Monday’s performances and see where The Voice top eight stand … Tessanne Chin: “Underneath It All” – The Voice Tessanne Chin returned to he roots with the reggae influence of No Doubt’s “Underneath It All,” showing originality, range and talent beyond any cultural hook. James Wolpert: “Somebody To Love” – The Voice James Wolpert chose Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” backed up by a choir of Wolpert clones onstage. He certainly sold the theatrics as well as the timing well. Caroline Pennell: “Dog Days Are Over” – The Voice Caroline Pennell took on Florence and the Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over” and while she fell short of the climaxes that the song requires, she did sell its tender moments. Cole Vosbury: “I Still Believe in You” – The Voice Cole Vosbury was tasked with Vince Gill’s “I Still Believe in You,” opting again for the stripped-down acoustic approach that calls out to The Voice country fans. Matthew Schuler: “It’s Time” – The Voice Matthew Schuler was assigned Imagine Dragons’ “It’s Time,” and his stage presence appeared more charismatic than ever, to match his considerable talents vocally. Will Champlin: “At Last” – The Voice Will Champlin took on a classic in Etta James’ “At Last,” a song that felt refreshed by a voice that isn’t a female powerhouse, but did it make the emotional connection? Ray Boudreaux: “Gimme Some Lovin'” – The Voice Ray Boudreaux took on the Spencer Davis Group’s rendition of “Gimme’ Some Lovin’” and once again fit in well with the quick rhythms and a hefty horn section. Jacquie Lee: “Who’s Lovin’ You” – The Voice Jacquie Lee found herself challenged to let loose for a performance of “Who’s Lovin’ You” by Smokey Robinson. Cee Lo said she swallowed an old lady: That’s it! Who do you think stands the best chance of moving on, and going home, after this set of performances? Share your comments with us below!
Have you stopped laughing yet at James Franco-Seth Rogen’s parody of the “Bound 2” music video? Good. Because Kanye West has a very serious message to send. Appearing as a guest on 92.3 NOW radio station yesterday, the rapper told the following to residents of The Big Apple, referring to one of the world’s biggest designers: “Everybody in New York City right now, don’t buy any Louis Vuitton until after January.” Kanye is peeved that the head of Louis Vuitton, Yves Carcelle refused to meet with him the last time he was in Paris. And he’s trying to teach that woman a lesson here by proving his power. West has been angry a lot lately because he believes many top players in the fashion industry aren’t taking him seriously. That’s why he feels like a slave . That’s who he wants to treat him like a god . What do you think, Big Applers? Will you boycott Louis Vuitton? Yes, Kanye says so No, I love that designer Please, I can’t afford Louis Vuitton View Poll »
Kelly Rowland may critique contestants on The X Factor these days. But she has nothing negative to say about Tim Witherspoon. Because the singer and her manager are engaged! To be married!!! “She has been showing [the ring] off to friends and family and is very happy,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “She wants to…enjoy [it] and celebrate for a bit longer.” Rowland was spotted with a giant rock on her singer in a friend’s Instagram video just a few days ago – and now the world knows why. This union will mark the first marriage for Rowland, who was engaged to NFL player Roy Williams in 2005. But the couple broke several months before their planned nuptials. Kelly said later that she was simply “too young” to wed at the time. But that isn’t the case now. We send Rowland and Witherspoon are best wishes!
Kenya Moore says she’s no sexting fiend looking to snag someone’s husband, despite what Phaedra Parks’ spouse Apollo Nida tried to spin Sunday. On The Real Housewives of Atlanta , Nida claimed Kenya sexted him while they were both in L.A. last year and proposed a face-to-face hook up too. Specifically, Nida claimed Kenya “wanted to f–k, okay, she wanted to have sex in L.A.,” though he denies anything ever happened between them in any case. Moore admits that they exchanged texts , but they weren’t interesting, there was nothing sexual, they never met up, and the entire thing is all bulls–t. If you look at her screen caps of the alleged texts … she’s right. While Apollo’s stunt is great fodder for the show, she says, she’s not down with lying, especially not when it comes to allegedly trying to nail a married man. Kenya Moore says she wants “to put an end to the false and defaming speculations and judgments against me” as a result of this week’s episode. Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks had no comment.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta made us wonder if it was “Too Late to Apollo-Gize” or if anyone was even bothering to try? We recap all the half truths and straight out lies in our THG +/- review. Not sure why Kandi Buress was playing super sleuth when it came to Kenya Moore and Apollo but it was a little weird. Minus 10 . Seems like Kandi’s got enough problems in her own family to be worrying so much about Phaedra’s. But she did make several good points. First of all, crazy Kenya needs to come up with a new saying because Gone With the Wind Fabulous is as tired as I am of Ms. Moore. The two supposed girlfriends met for a different kind of workout that had Kenya quipping, “I’m no stranger to having my legs in the air upside down.” Talk about TMI. Minus 22. Kandi says she would have tried a spin if not for having twisted her ankle. Looks like she fell off her heels. I can’t believe that doesn’t happen more often given what these ladies wear. But when Kenya starts sharing her text messages from Apollo, the one thing I noticed was that there seemed to be an awful lot of them. Minus 30. Even though Phaedra says that “the last thing I want to do is give her sagging diaper booty any more energy,” she decided to have dinner with Apollo to hash this out. It quickly turned into the date from hell. Apollo got defensive with the classic, “I’m a grown man. You’re not my mama.” I wonder what his Mama would say about him texting single woman while he’s married. Minus 25. He swears nothing inappropriate happened…except he was texting a single woman he now admits wanted to have sex with him. What’s inappropriate about that? Minus 40. Then Apollo starts throwing the insults. “Everyone else don’t have to live with you. Everyone else don’t have to go home with you.” Can’t imagine why that didn’t help the situation? Minus 33. But Kenya’s got other issues. NeNe shows up at Kenya’s temporary digs and sees a white refrigerator . Oh the horror! So she must take her friend out to find a new place asap. They visit a 4000 square foot penthouse with panoramic views…and Kenya scoffs at it. She needs no less than 5000 square feet for her and her little dog. Seriously does anyone not see through this? The woman got kicked out of her last place and she’s currently living in a dive. I’m guessing there’s no money for a penthouse. Porsha heads to her therapist to try and figure out her marriage issues. Plus 33. Dr. Blake says the question isn’t why Kordell married her but why she married Apollo. Good point. Porsha’s lunch with the girls was kind of dull except that she admits Kordell doled out the grocery money and wouldn’t let her sister visit. Minus 15. As NeNe said, you’ll know it’s right when you make your own money and can treat yourself like a princess. Episode total = -142! Season total = -381!
