Update:
Kim used to work at Cheetah as a stripper. This is where she met "Big Poppa"
Lisa: was strung out on drugs at one time. Wanted to be this up and coming actress and neglected her kids. This is why she lost custody of her kids to Keith Sweat. Oh...she has strict supervised visitation rights until the judge feels she has her act together.
NeNe: used to be a stripper too
Sheree: Had a ladies boutique and lost it due to her soon-to-be ex husband got sick of her diva attitude & booche' ways and stopped the gravy train.
DeShawn: Boring. Was a groupie who got pregnant and babydaddy married her. He plays for the Atlanta Falcons, how convenient is that.

Okay, I watched it and now I want to talk about it. WTF. This show is like watching a trainwreck.

I love Lisa Wu. She is my favorite!!

I feel like I am the only person who never watched this show. Is there something wrong with me?

Sheree is frightening. On second thought, they all are, in their own right. Though Nene is a drama queen, she somehow seems less vapid than the rest. I took issue with the NY housewives for this same reason at first, too, but I think as the show progresses, we start to see through their glitz and excess and more into their humanity. Agree?

good job shameika, i was thinking the same thing about the kids. she seems only concerned with the kids. Deshawn's charity event was the worst, it was a good attempt but poorly executed. i can't wait for you to talk about her next week.

Week 2

Hello everyone, this is quickly becoming a very fun forum topic. First let me tell you, i've never been a fan of this housewives franchise, i watched NY because it was my hometown and i felt compelled to show an interest, so my interest in this show it pretty off the radar for me. Well i promised the juice so let me spill it!

Ok this week i promised juice on Sheree, where shall we start, this women is the worst character on the show. where do i begin? Ok lets start with her name it's not Sha-ray, it's Sha-ree or even sherry, but not Sha-Ray, so lets stop calling her that, now that we've gotten that out of the way. I have a big problem with mothers who think of themselves more than their kids. Hear me out before you get mad with me...Sheree is always dressed head to toe, she certainly made sure she was diamoned out for the charity event (the event that didn't raise any money, don't worry we will get to that later) and she certainly felt compelled to wear a fur in the summer time, but her children were poorly dressed and didn't even look like they should be her kids. I'm sorry i just said what you all where thinking when you saw the camera on the kids at the dinner with Kim. You know that's what you were thinking! Sheree is in the middle of this crazy drag out battle divorce which indicates to me, she is only getting basic expense money and money to support her kids. Sheree , YOUR KIDS SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK BETTER THAN YOU, NOT THE OPPOSITE, please stop spending your childrens child support money on furs and shoes. Sheree is married to Bob Whitfield and is in the process of getting a divorce. she blatantly stated on national television that she is expecting a settlement in the tune of 7 figures. What a gold digger! if i were bob or his lawyers i would have blocked her from even being on the show (but then again, she is getting an income and he is probably happy about that) or use the show and the ignorance she displays on the show, against her. either way Sheree is a mess and she is not a kind person. She should have been begging Deshawn to auction her off at the event, instead she choose to give disclosures, about what type of men could bid on her. what a looser. she is very rude. oh the boutique she had in Atlanta, was being funded by bob and he got tired of her and closed up shop. She closed the botique because she had no choice. She tried to play Angela Bassett , waiting to exhale card. She told kim that she always wanted to start a clothing line, but becuase of marriage and life she was unable to, now that she is free she can concentrate on her line. Remember Bernadette (Angela Bassett's character in waiting to exhale) wanted to open a catering business for years but she helped john start his company and essentially helped him run it. No Sheree you are not you were not that type of a wife, calm down! Sheree for a socialite you suck at being a good person! Bottom line Sheree is a mess!!!

Next time- Week 3, we will discuss Deshawn, im still trying to figure out how she expected to raise $1M for charity without charging a ticket price, holding it in her house, and holding a live auction in her living room. Just wondering?

I've heard the following names linked to Kim.

Quincy Jones
Lee Najjar
Ted Turner
Ben Carter

Wuzzle, you can't go around calling people prostitutes! And what kind of name is wuzzle, anyway?

Posted: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 5:11pm

i can call people whatever i want, and that's what she is. she has a boyfriend that her friends haven't even met, yet he drops over 60k in cash on a car for her? that's paying for sex baby.

a wuzzle means to mix, just like a baloo is a bear. and i'm not going to take s**t from anyone who's name is goofygal. you're just another elitist new yorker who thinks you're too good for all us regular joe and jane six packs.

Posted: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 6:18pm

Ha! Maybe she just thinks she's better than Joe the Plumber :) and who isn't? really.

Posted: Wed, 11/12/2008 - 8:41pm

well, excuuuse me. clearly if you'd been reading my other comments you'd see that i don't think i'm too good for anyone. and yes, i see that he pays a lot of money for stuff that she wants, but that doesn't make her a prostitute--they're dating! whatevs.org, wuzz.

Posted: Fri, 10/31/2008 - 3:02pm

DeShawn - Lazy.

Kim - Prostitute.

Lisa - possible on uppers.

NeNe - needs to start wearing a bra.

Sheree - needs to pull the stick out of her ass.

Posted: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 4:48pm

I'm sticking with Dallas Austin as my guess.

Posted: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 3:22pm

I think Kim's boyfriend is married, which is why he wants to keep his booty-calls private. I refuse to call what Kim & Big Poppa have a relationship. And why did Kim move from Connecticut to Atlanta?

DeShawn is looking for an estate manager so she doesn't have to talk to her damn staff?! What does she do with all of her time?

NeNe is a star. I just adore everything about her.

Sheree seems like a nightmare. She's been divorcing for 3 years?

Anyone know who Lisa's first husband was? Sounds like a disastrous relationship.

I can't get enough of this show. It's like all these women live for is shopping and/or spending money. How? Why? What compels them? And it seems the clothes and everything are just meant to outdo each other. Not to show off for their husbands, or even make themselves happy. Just to outdo this rival or this neighbor. I would love a second season of them - after the recession.

Posted: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 2:02pm

Probably some big Atlanta real estate guy who's losing his fortune because of the economy. I can't believe a real 'baller' would like any of these trashy ladies.

Posted: Fri, 10/24/2008 - 10:09am

The Frisky is saying that Big Poppa is a male music exec whose initials are QJ--Quincy Jones?

LOVE this show. all the housewives shows are awesome trash. i make my fiance watch them with me. i think he secretly likes them.

Posted: Thu, 10/23/2008 - 3:40pm

This show is quite interesting. I'm not sure if i like it, but Here is a bit of juice and opinion each week i will spill my juice on each cast member.

Week 1 - Lisa

Lisa- was married to Keith Sweat (R&B singer from the 90's) apparently there was some domestic abuse, however Mr. Sweat still has Lisa under close wraps. According to sources, Keith has banned Lisa from feature their children on to show or even discussing them in interviews. Lisa works in Real Estate is married to an Atlanta Falcon (aren't they all) and she very much seems like a sleeper character. She is very much tip toeing on the show.

Next week we will examine Sheree. Feel free to spill any additional juice on this crazy cast.

Posted: Thu, 10/23/2008 - 2:35pm

Best show ever. Anyone know who Kim's man is?

Posted: Thu, 10/23/2008 - 12:38pm

NO! dying to find out. i honestly cannot believe that some successful dude drops loads of cash on this chick - enough to go buy an escalade spontaneously. i also can't believe that none of her friends know who he is?!? that is impressive and very weird. sad for her. seriously. this secrecy must have started before the show.
