In 2013 our motto is simple, go big or go home and well I would
have to say that we did it BIG when we had 3 of the ladies from Style Network's
newest hit Big Rich Atlanta on the show. Joining us in the studio for
some virtual cocktails and juicy conversation were Sharlinda Parker, KahdijihaRowe and Sabrina 'Brie' Rowe. These southern belle’s shared with us their
experience on being on a reality show, yes, we're talking about the good, bad
and ugly. Talk about an hour full on fun and GREAT gossip.
So grab your cocktail, find a comfy spot
and enjoy the show,
The Khalifa's have had their bundle of joy. Yep "Bash" or Sebastian Taylor Thomaz was born to Wiz and Amber this week. I'm sure she's elated as we can tell from her request for Jack & Coke, a Cheese Steak Sandwich and a cigarette. (Side eye!) I guess the wedding is next...we're waiting to see this creative ratchness.
Reality Recap
Homegrown vs Silicone Owned
Knew this one was going to come to a head. Seems Phaedra is calling out one Kenya Moore for having a "Silicone Booty". Salty over Kenya's DVD or just a cool glass of "hateraid"? The Divas are predicting that the counselor will fully investigate the long heard rumors of Kenya's fake boo-tay. As quoted in US Magazine Phaedra said, "If you're gonna sell a video talking about bottoms, you need to have one that's homegrown!" TeeHeeHee MEOW!
