This season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reality TV series is entirely scripted and even more fake than the previous 2 seasons (if that’s even possible).
2 weeks ago I received an email (as did TMZ, apparently) from a supposed loyal reader informing me that Sheree Whitfield’s $133,750 Aston Martin was repossessed by her attorneys for failing to pay them $80,000 in attorney’s fees.
Recognizing an obvious publicity stunt to drive up ratings, I ignored the email. The next day the story was all over TMZ and the blogs. It’s obvious that this episode was sponsored by Aston Martin.
Anyway, I fell asleep on last night’s episode of RHOA, but Rodney Ho of the AJC’s Radio & TV Talk blog took the time to watch last night’s episode and give his readers a rundown.
Sheree spends the episode prepping, then doing a sexy rumba at a charity event called “Dancing Stars of Atlanta,” which was held in mid-May for the Alzheimer’s Association of Georgia. All the ladies minus Phaedra Parks (prepping for her baby’s imminent arrival) show up.
Though Sheree is being her usual diva-like, over-confident self, she actually pulls it off. The editors made it seem like the other housewives weren’t all that impressed (one said it wasn’t that tough of a dance) but she did get 9’s from the judges. Plus, she raised more than $5,000 for the charity, although she felt her housewife castmates were a bit chintzy.
And good news for us: Tiy-E Muhammad, the “love doctor” (but not the real thing), is still in the picture, despite his seeming lack of real wealth or interest in it. Sheree said he’s out of town for the charity event but trailers show him popping up next week. And in episode eight, Sheree finds out the truth about him. (I guess she didn’t Google his name because the facts about him faking his credentials are readily available online. The AJC wrote about it several years ago.)

I’ve never heard of your #2 and though it’s not a “black” movie, a lot of black folks own/love “Scarface”.

Whaaaaat? You never heard of Imitation of Life?
OK, Picture it! Cicily, 1952…. (LOL)
Anyway, it’s about this overweight black lady who met this white lady on a beach, the white lady thought the black lady was the made for the little white girl she was with on the beach, they started talking and it turns out, the black lady was actually the little girls mother. (Shocker for that time period).
The white lady ended up becoming a famous actress and her and the black lady became friends and she moved into her mansion and the children became really good friends.
The mixed girl started to notice that she was “different” and told all her friends that it was HER house and that her mammy, was her NANNY and not her real mama, one time her mother came to the school and the teacher said, “We don’t have any colored girls” and she said, “there she is!” and the little girl got embarrassed because the kids were laughing.
Eventually, she grew up and started dating white men and was “passing” until her mother came to find her in NY once and got her fired because they didn’t know she was a black girl and her boyfriend beat her up and dumped her.
Her mother spent the rest of her years in that house with the white people taking care of her , she got sick because she couldn’t find her daughter who had run off again and she died and the daughter came back and ran up and threw herself on the casket at the funeral as they were wheeling her away by horse and carriage. (that was the ONE moment she was black the entire film!) LMAO!!!
