From Real Housewife to Homeless


Okay how do you go from being a Real Housewife of Atlanta-buying $6000 shoes, throwing lavish parties and just being a plain bitch to being homeless? Just depend on your ex-husband/ex-NFL Football player to pay the mortgage payments on your multi-million dollar home (which he doesn’t)! How do you get accustomed to a lifestyle and depend on someone else to continue pay for that lifestyle? Well Sheree Whitfield, one the five ladies from Real Housewives of Atlanta did just that and has now had her 10,000 sq foot home located in the exclusive Sandy Springs area of Atlanta, foreclosed on in March of this year. Although this is a sad reminder of tough times today, this is also a reminder for women in particular to handle your own. Yes, Sheree has business ventures going on-particularly her own fashion line called-She by Sheree-but I never seen anyone wear her clothes (unlike Baby Phat, which is a household name). And no, I seriously doubt she is homeless she just probably had to downgrade into maybe a 5000 sq foot home (you know rich people, or in her case, wanna be rich people, consider that downgrading), but the point is she would much rather be in her Sandy Springs area home! Let this be a warning to all you women looking for your prince charming to ride in on his white horse and take care of you: handle your damn business!

The Season Finale-Real Housewives of NJ-The Last Supper


Finally, Jacqueline grows some balls and actually stand up to her sister-in-laws! Ahh I so didn’t expect! I so enjoyed the season finale of Real Housewives of NJ and loved how Danielle just eased her book onto the table-that was pure evil genius-no one saw it coming. And what’s up with Teresa-you ask me she has too much time on her hands and what’s with the temper tantrum? LOL..she just needed attention! Well they must be brought back for another round! And Caroline tries to act all tough-why didn’t she come forward before all this to say she was the one who made the book public? Because she wasn’t she was just defending her sister, Dina. Ahh, Dina well hey she’s an attention whore too! I mean when the entire show you never saw her husband-she must be real lonely. She needs to join a gardening club or bridge club. Unfortunately this was the best episode out of all of them to me which doesn’t say much. Well I for one can’t wait until Real Housewives of Atlanta come back that’s my favorite one! Speaking of which…see my next post on Sheree of Real Housewives of Atlanta and her latest woo!

Hawthorne


Okay I am excited to see Jada Pinkett Smith doing her thing again. For a minute I thought she got a little to complacent with being just "Mrs. Will Smith" (well who wouldn't) and not utilizing her talents. But if the previews of Hawthorne, the new TNT TV series that she executive-produces and stars in is any indication, Jada is back on her grind. I'm so excited for her and know this show will do well (the show airs 9pm est).

Jada portrays Christina Hawthorne a Chief Nursing Officer at Richmond Trinity Hospital who don't take no mess and is all about the patients.

Her co-stars include:

Michael Vartan as Dr. Tom Wakefield, Chief of Surgery
Suleka Mathew as Bobbie Jackson, a nurse and one of Christina's best friends
David Julian Hirsh as Ray Stein, a male nurse struggling in a female dominated profession (how's that for a twist)

And a host of other great supporting performers. Between this and the Real Housewives of NJ finale I will be glued tonight to the television set!

Let me know what you think of the show!

Real Houswives of NJ


Okay how fitting is it to write about the Real Houswives of New Jersey-being that I am from New Jersey. Teresa, Dina, Caroline, Jacqueline and Danielle (or whatever her real name is) all hail from Franklin Lakes, NJ (located in Bergen County) are all nuts if you ask me. Jacqueline can't seem to make decisions on her own, Caroline is a big bully, Dina isn't as gorgeous or even cute as she thinks she is, Teresa is just clueless and my favorite, Danielle needs to get her ass a job and stop looking for men to support her. The season finale comes on Tuesday, June 16 (only 7 episodes)where things seem to explode between the five ladies (and as always Danielle is in the middle of it all). Truthfully, Jersey is a pretty ritzy state, BravoTv couldn't find five women who aren't related to cast? I beg to differ. Well I for one can't wait for the Real Housewives of Atlanta to return!
