Congratulations!!! Kandi Burruss Engaged To Her TV Producer Boyfriend Todd Tucker!

Somebody put Kenya on suicide watch! There’s been a “Real Housewives of Atlanta” engagement — but it ain’t hers. The next lucky lady to wed will be Kandi Burruss ! Via US Weekly reports : She said yes! Engagement buzz has been building around Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and her line producer beau, Todd Tucker, ever since the two debuted their relationship on the fifth season of her Bravo reality series. And now Us Weekly can exclusively reveal that the lovebirds are indeed engaged to be married. Tucker, 39, popped the question on New Year’s Day, during a New Year’s celebration with friends at the couple’s home in Atlanta. (Among the party guests was fellow Atlanta Housewife Phaedra Parks, who’s currently expecting her second child with husband Apollo Nida.) After talking it over with Burruss’ daughter, 10-year-old Riley — who gave him her blessing — he got down on one knee and proposed to his love of more than a year with a two-carat diamond sparkler by Gregg Ruth. The singer-songwriter, 36 — who has been engaged once before, to the late Ashley “A.J.” Jewell — was floored. “I was totally surprised,” she tells Us of the romantic proposal, adding that she even shed a few happy tears. The happy couple already have two dates in mind for their big day, but they’re still working out a lot of the other details, including whether the wedding will be filmed for The Real Housewives. One thing Burruss is sure of is that Tucker has changed her life for the better. “I used to make jokes with my friends that I [was] part of the Forever Single Club,” she tells Us, adding that she and her hubby-to-be plan to have kids together after they’re married. “That’s what I said before, but now I’m totally different.” Guess sometimes it works out to isht where ya eat — eh Kandi? Congrats to this happy couple! We are so glad to see her in love!!! Instagram

Sharon Osbourne Calls Out Lady Gaga, Gun Bra on The Talk

So much for a detente in the Gaga-Osbourne feud. Despite Kelly Osbourne ‘s attempt to quash the beef – and mutual agreement that the world ought to be more peaceful – Sharon Osbourne is not backing down. Sharon Osbourne Slams Lady Gaga (The Talk) Monday on The Talk , Sharon slammed Lady Gaga – again – for setting a bad example for her millions of fans and practicing the behavior she claims to condemn. “Don’t let your fans be so hideously damaging, hurtful, violent… on your own website,” she told the singer. “If you are the Mother Monster, monitor it.” Sharon Osbourne continued, “Why haven’t you, as a responsible young woman, said, ‘No violence on my website, no violence, no threats, no violence.'” Sharon also took Gaga to task for not practicing what she preaches, noting that the singer has been known to incorporate firearms into her tour act. “Everything is guns, guns, guns,” she said, citing an example in which the pop superstar wears a machine gun bra , outfitted with dueling assault rifles. “This is not right, and she should be stopped.” “All I’m asking her to do is to stay true to her foundation, which she said [she created because] she wants the world to be a braver, kinder world,” Sharon explained. It only takes “one young person that wants attention” to start trouble, she continued, alluding to the recent school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. “One person wanting attention… over her not wanting to lean out to her Little Monsters to say, ‘Hey guys, I love you, I understand you, [but] not everyone does.” “Please don’t be violent on my site.'” The talk-show host’s on-air comments are just the latest chapter in what is shaping up to be a long and bitter battle between the Osbourne women and Gaga. It began when Gaga posted an open letter to 28-year-old Kelly, criticizing her for insulting people for a living and basically being a bully on E!’s Fashion Police. Sharon came to her daughter’s defense a short time later with a scathing, public memo of her own, calling Gaga a hypocrite, and the feud was ignited. “I am an activist. Nobody takes adolescents seriously, I do,” Gaga wrote in response. “My letter to Kelly Osbourne was open, because her statements on cyber-bullying were public & as a youth activist I’m compelled to be involved.” Whose side are you on in this celebrity feud?   Team Gaga Team Kelly/Sharon View Poll »

Are You a Kenya Moore? 10 Signs You’re Desperate For Marriage

Are You A Kenya Moore? 10 Signs You’re Desperate For Marriage If you’re a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, you’ve probably become very familiar with Kenya Moore, the resident desperate woman who, as “Gone-With-The-Wind-Fabulous” as she is, still hasn’t found her Prince Charming. She’s made it known on almost every episode of Season five that she is more than ready to be married and have children, pressuring her poor [faux] boyfriend Walter to put a ring on it.   More …

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap – Love & Trampy Hood Rats

The Real Housewives of Atlanta made us wonder who would say,  “I Do… But, I Won’t” as the Anguilla adventure continued. We recap all the love, romance, and tramp stamps in our THG +/- review We dive back into Anguilla with Kenya asking Phaedra which of her friends she’d give Apollo as a birthday present. What?!? Minus 18 . Kenya doesn’t find the question the least bit inappropriate but Phaedra’s not laughing. Phaedra comments that Kenya needs to, “put some ice in your panties because it’s just not a good look for you.” Plus 8. I’d give more points if she’d have said that to Kenya’s face. Did anyone else notice how uncomfortable Kenya and Walter looked at dinner when the rest of the couples were joking about how much sex they were having on the trip?  Huh? So Kenya’s comfortable flirting with every man who crosses her path but couples talking about working the third shift is a problem. Minus 10 .  That’s just weird. Wasn’t she just joking about having a threesome with Phaedra’s husband? Although I really didn’t need to know that Kandi and Todd christened the hot tub. Minus 12. Where is Phaedra and her Lysol when you need it? NeNe calls Kenya out, telling her she doesn’t think she and Walter are the real deal.  Plus 5 for being direct. At least she says it to Kenya’s face instead of just behind her back. But the big event is Peter’s surprise vow renewal with Cynthia.  When he tells the men about it Gregg offers him a couple of viagra. Minus 13 . So that explains Gregg hanging all over NeNe.  He’s making sure he’s ready but I’m pretty sure Peter’s able to man up drug free. The vow renewal ceremony is beautiful. Peter and Cynthia have survived a lot of crap and they deserved this wonderful day.   I may not always be Peter’s biggest fan but he did it right this time.  Plus 30. And to keep the romance going each couple lights a lantern and sends it off over the waves, which sounds lovely unless you are Kenya or Kandi.  Their lanterns crashed and burned instead of sailing off towards the heavens. Minus 11. Is that a bad omen or just pure dumb luck? NeNe damn near body blocked Kandi to get to that bouquet.  Plus 7 because it was actually kind of funny. Gregg looked so thrilled you’d think those silly flowers sealed the deal. But everyone is happy for Cynthia and Peter…except Kenya who can’t stop thinking why not me ?  She’s already a little unstable when her sit down with Porsha begins. And why is Porsha rehashing their argument? Minus 18 . These two women were silently loathing one another this entire trip. Can’t we leave it at that? Apparently not. Porsha wants it all out on the table. Well, be careful what you wish for.   Before you know it Kenya’s calling Porsha a b*tch and Porsha’s telling her to, “take your hood rat ass back to Detroit.” Kenya gets all kinds of upset when Porsha calls her a tramp.  Minus 10.   Kenya’s not the one with the tramp stamp but honey, you were just rubbing your booty on another woman’s husband the night before so if the tramp stamp fits… But who expected to see Ms. NeNe in the role of mediator and bouncer. Plus 15. She has to physically keep these two women apart while trying to broker some sort of peace. When Kenya finally leaves the party with her flowing dress proclaiming,  “I’m Gone With the Wind fabulous” I began to wonder if she was off her meds. And then I laughed out loud when NeNe gave that incredulous look, raised an eyebrow and asked,  “B*tch, is it movie night?”  Plus 22. And to think Anguilla’s not over yet. More next week. Episode total = -5!                   Season total = -199!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap – The End of an Era

The Real Housewives of Atlanta decide there’s just “No Excuse for Excuses” and one housewife walks out the door.  Who’s had enough and who will be headed to Anguilla? We recap it all in our THG +/- review. Kenya and Walter head out on a double date with Phaedra and Apollo and things look pretty cozy. Perhaps a little too cozy for Phaedra’s comfort as Kenya bats her eyes across the table at Apollo.  Minus 10 . Was it all just about producing a workout video? Perhaps Kenya’s just the flirty type.   Phaedra can’t stop admiring Kenya’s breasts.  Minus 8 because it’s a little weird that she mentions them multiple times.  Of course the former Miss USA certainly likes to keep them on display.   Double dates seem to be going around as NeNe and Gregg head over to Cynthia and Peter’s.  Peter shares his big secret with NeNe. He wants to renew his vows with Cynthia on the beach at Anguilla. Plus 20 . It really is a lovely thought considering all of the drama that took place at their first wedding.  But with the crew they’ve got joining them on this trip, I’m not sure this wedding will be any less stressful. Cynthia’s still ticked off at Phaedra, until Ms. Parks shows up with a huge bouquet and a sincere apology.  Cynthia says she’ll forgive but she won’t forget.  Minus 12 .  If they’re truly friends I think she needs to let that one go. We all got to take a trip to Porsha’s OB-GYN and what a relief we didn’t miss that. Oye. Minus 15 . Porsha and Kordell are given the green light to start trying to make a baby again next month but all Porsha wants to talk about is how to increase her chances to have twins. Minus 9. Thank goodness her doctor has the sense to remind her that after her miscarriage she should be concentrating on having one happy, healthy baby. Plus 12 . Of course it wouldn’t surprise me if Porsha goes home and stuffs herself full of yams anyway.  And on a side note, what is up with those earrings. Small dogs could jump through those hoops! The annual girls trip has suddenly become a couples trip and everyone gathers for brunch to discuss the particulars.   Here I was thinking that Kandi inviting Kenya along would fill this meal with drama. Who knew I could be so wrong? Now there’s two sides to this argument and I see both.  In Kim’s defense, she is pregnant for the second time in a year and she looks like she’s about to give birth sometime in the near future. Minus 10 . Expecting her to hop on a plane to head to some island to party is just unrealistic.  If these ladies were gracious they’d just let her out of it.  Goodness knows I wouldn’t want to risk having a baby on some small island. On the other side of the aisle, Kim did give them dates and everyone else seemingly jumped through hoops to accommodate her.  Plus 8. So I do understand why they’re ticked off. Still it doesn’t seem worth all of the drama.   Kim’s life has definitely changed. She’s got two teenaged daughters, an infant, another on the way and a new husband not to mention she just had to move.  That’s a lot for anyone.  So when the ladies started to pile on, Kim had had enough. Kim walked out and I don’t believe it was just brunch she was ditching.  This may be the last we see of Kim. Minus 25 because surprisingly, I think I’m going to miss her, blonde wigs and all. Episode total = -49!                Season total = -133!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap – Miss USA Attitude

One of the newest members of The Real Housewives of Atlanta says “Call Me Miss USA.”  I can think of many things to call her…and Miss USA isn’t on the list   We recap all the silly fussing and feuding in our THG +/- review. But first we check in with NeNe who seems to be the happiest Housewife on the block these days.  She’s splitting her time between Atlanta and LA and Gregg wants a piece of the action.   He’ll move to LA, if NeNe will give him a key to her place, and her heart.   Minus 18 because Gregg really knows how to ramp up the cheesiness.  He’s wooing her with bad poetry and interrupting her pedicure so he can rub and kiss her feet.  Down boy. Someone please make him stop. Later NeNe heads to NYC doing some publicity for her sitcom The New Normal and Cynthia tags along.  Cynthia lived in New York before she had two dimes to rub together so she’s shocked that NeNe has never ridden the subway. Plus 12 for taking NeNe on the grand tour and Cynthia’s right…those six inch spiked heels are not subway friendly. The cutest moment was when a bunch of students from a performing arts school recognized NeNe from her work on Glee .  Plus 15 .  Ms. Leakes was gracious and encouraging and seemed to enjoyed the encounter as much as the kids. Now if Cynthia could just get her to partake of that hotdog, maybe throw in a pretzel too we can make a real New Yorker out of NeNe yet. Of course Phaedra’s husband Apollo might not be too pleased with the New York street vendor diet.  He just got certified as a nutritionist and physical trainer.  Plus 8 . Apollo and Phaedra are now working on their donkey bootie workout video for women who need a little help getting a curvaceous bottom.   Phaedra describes Apollo’s enthusiasm for the project as “Arnold Schwarteneager on bath salts” which is a little intimidating considering Phaedra’s not looking to actually sweat during the workout.  Minus 10 .  Who knows what they’ll finally come up with. Once again, Kim is barely on the screen except to make clear that she’s pulling all of the “mother f**king flowers” she had put on the property out before she leaves.  Minus 12 . Since I doubt she’ll be doing it herself I’m sure she’ll be paying good money to have it done. And Kandi’s mostly missing in action as well as she packs up her awards to get the last of her things out of the old house as she moves one with the new. Now on to Miss USA.  First some background.  Kenya shares with Phaedra that her mother is mentally ill.  She gave Kenya up and has never acknowledged her.  Kenya was raised by her grandmother.  It’s definitely a big issue for her and something that can still drive her to tears. But any sympathy that garners gets tossed out the window once we spend some time with Miss USA from 1990-something.   OK, I’ll admit that Porsha is a bit of a bubbly airhead who appears to have had everything handed to her and she should have known Kenya was a Miss USA, not Miss America. Minus 10 . But I have to think that she’s not the first to make the mistake.  You’d think Kenya would handle it with some grace. Ha! Minus 20 . Instead Kenya’s got her nose so out of joint that she calls Porsha a “heifer” behind her back and leaves early. When Porsha comes outside to make sure everything is alright the insults continue to fly. Kenya tells the camera that, “I will curse your ass out and keep on steppin’.'”  So first she ticked off Cynthia and now she made an enemy of Porsha.  That didn’t take long. Yes, that’s our Miss USA. The epitome of grace and class…NOT.   Episode total = -35!                                          Season total = -19!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta – "Got Sexy Back"

The Real Housewives of Atlanta claim they “Got Sexy Back” but I’m not sure that goes for everyone.  We’ll recap who’s moving up, who’s moving out, and who can’t handle the crack in our THG +/- review. NeNe’s definitely riding a high.  She’s on the new sitcom The New Normal and considering a move to LA.  Plus 25 . It’s nice to see her happy for once.  The girl is dining with famous producers and laughing about Tyler Perry changing his number and not telling her while turning down caviar.  Life couldn’t get much better for Ms. NeNe. Or could it?  Gregg’s still hanging around and he wants back.  He wants a key to her house. He wants a second chance and he claims he’s willing to work for it.  Minus 10 . I’m not so sure. Fifteen years of history is nothing to sneeze at but maybe it’s time NeNe moved on.  I’d be shocked if they got back together and weren’t miserable once again a year later. NeNe’s not the only one looking happy.  Kandi and TV producer/boyfriend Todd are moving in together.  They bought a house…in cash and that’s nothing to look down your nose at these days.  Plus 22.   Kandi’s glowing as she’s considering marriage and expanding her family.  Then Kim comes to visit. Kim calls Kandi’s new neighborhood “the hood” and says she locks her car doors when she gets off the highway.  If that house is in the hood, I’m moving in.   Kandi got the house in foreclosure but it’s huge and basically two houses in one. An indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and an enormous amount of space more than makes up for the decorating she’ll have to do.  Plus 15 . Of course Kim never met a dollar she could spend and only sees the downside of moving into to a home that isn’t 100% finished to her liking.  Well, she might want to become more flexible…quick. When Kim and Kroy turned down the asking price on the house they’re living in they’re told to move out at the end of the lease.  In two weeks!  Minus 12 .  Seriously these two are in way over their heads. There isn’t a thing packed and they don’t know where they’re going.  And the movers are quoting them $101,000 to pack, move, and store everything for 120 days.  Of course we are talking about a 17,000 square foot home. Kandi says she’ll come move her personally for $101,000.  Plus 20 .  I’ll come help and we can split it. Of course Kim is pregnant once again and KJ’s just turning a year old.  Kroy and Kim are like rabbits.  They work quick. I can’t believe Sweetie’s still around.  Kim fired her last season only to hire her back.  Minus 9. Kim must enjoy paying people to do nothing. Phaedra’s still working on her mortuary business and wants to expand into pet funerals.  She says she’ll deal with anything that can be buried.   But can someone get her to stop calling Ayden her little prince.  Minus 10 .  It’s just setting him up to be a spoiled brat before he’s two years old. Cyndi and Peter still bicker like they always have but this time ex Leon got in the mix. Of course it was about his daughter.   Cyndi pulled Noelle out of school because she wasn’t flourishing and looked unhappy.  She’s adamant that she knows her daughter and this is best…until Noelle walks in and says she never wanted to be home schooled.  So much for being the in touch parent. Minus 8 . The Bailey Agency is hosting a casting call for JET magazine’s beauty of the week and Cyndi invites new Housewife Kenya to be a judge. Kenya’s a former Miss USA and has modeled for JET.  Who would have thought this could end up as such a disaster? Everyone shows up in their teeny bikinis and Kenya’s offended.  She can’t stand to see anyone’s booty or coochie crack and won’t stop talking about it.  Minus 11 . Kenya seems to embrace her mean girl / diva role.  She even has her own security throw out one of Cyndi’s employees. And minus 8 because he shouldn’t have called her a b*tch…even if she was being one at the time. Looking at those SMOOTH magazine covers Kenya did, it looks like she had plenty of her own booty falling out of that swimsuit.   The lines are definitely drawn between these two Housewives divas.  Who do you think will win? Episode total =  +14!               Season total = +14!

Hi Hater: GOP Candiate’s Son Says “We Have The Opportunity To Send Obama Back To Kenya”

You can’t be serious … Jason Thompson, the son of Republican Wisconsin U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson, made an off-color remark at President Obama’s expense which has now gone viral: In a clip posted on YouTube from a Republican Party Of Kenosha County brunch event, Jason Thompson commented that “we have the opportunity” to send President Barack Obama “back to Chicago — or Kenya,” drawing applause from the crowd. Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus was among the other speakers, adding that “we have an opportunity to save America” by electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Shorewood (Wis.) Patch reports that Tommy Thompson, who was not at the event, told reporters that he had not seen the video. A spokesperson for his campaign told BuzzFeed that “Jason Thompson said something he should not have, and he apologizes.” This, amidst all of the denials that race is not at all involved. From the mouths of babes comes the conversation at the dinner table. Shame on all of you who do this. Republicans have lost their ability to feel shame. Anything is okay as long as they win.
