If the good Lord made a television viewing pleasure guiltier than the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” he must have kept it for himself.
This show is such a H.A.M. (hot a** mess) that I’m not even sure where to begin. The Georgia peaches came roaring back in their first episode looking good and bringing the drama straight out of the gate!
First, allow me to give kudos where kudos are due: The fake hair was oh so together for the start of season three. Sheree looked amazing and even Kim appears to have stepped up her wig game. And other than NeNe’s back fat spilling from that ill-conceived notion of an evening gown, I thought the ladies looked great.
NeNe and Kim’s “reconciliation” was a bit much for me, and I for one am so tired of this frenemies story line. I haven’t seen so much fake “love you girl” smooch-ness since high school. Kim should know better after all this time.
Instead, she needs to be focusing on her 13-year-old daughter’s love life and the fact that she even has one at her age. Their whole conversation about the boy her daughter wants to “plant one on” made me feel all types of skeevy, and at one point I think I shouted at the TV, “How are you going to even go there Kim, given how you got down with Big Poppa?!”
But the big blow out was between NeNe and Dwight, who appears to be running around town spreading the word that he has money to burn. Sheree didn’t appreciate his claim that he sunk $30K into her fashion show, and NeNe got up in his face about his claims that her husband tried to borrow $10K.
I expected Dwight to let NeNe have it, but he seemed cowed by her and her loud accusations at the party he attended with new cast member Phaedra. Speaking of Phaedra, I’m not sure what I think of her yet; I was too distracted by the “Southern belle” from Athen’s extremely shiny lip gloss to be able to form an opinion.
And are we going to pretend like Lisa was never a part of the show, or will her absence be explained? I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Sheree’s “acting” career and I’m happy that Kandi is dating again after the loss of A.J. Kandi’s also got her career on track with a new single “Leave U” and an upcoming tour with another singer who’s had some love life issues – Fantasia.
What did you think of the “Housewives of Atlanta” premiere?

Sarah Palin supports daughter Bristol at `Dancing’
LOS ANGELES – Sarah Palin may be outspoken, but she kept her opinions to herself on “Dancing With the Stars.”
The former vice-presidential candidate was in the ABC ballroom Monday to cheer on her daughter, whom she called “Bristol the pistol.”
Palin had only good things to say about her daughter’s competitors and the show’s three judges when interviewed briefly by show host Tom Bergeron.
Palin praised the “courage, joy and exuberance” of the dancers and kept mum about the judges, saying, “It’s like a hockey game. You’re not going to chew out the refs before your team is up.”
Bristol Palin was the night’s final performer, collecting 22 points out of 30 for her quickstep with professional partner Mark Ballas.
So what’s it like to have mom in the audience?
“It’s awesome,” the 19-year-old said.

SUPERNATURAL SEASON 6 PREMIERE PRIMER!
After a season filled with mythology and the argument of fate versus free will, not to mention the departure of God from the heavens, Supernatural comes back this week with a plan – a plan to answer the question “Where do we go from here?”
When Season 5 said an emotional farewell, a battered and bloody Dean (Jensen Ackles) took off for the comfort of his lovely lady friend Lisa, thinking the worst – that little brother Sammy (Jared Padalecki) was no longer a living part of this world. Sam, on the other hand, wasn’t as dead as Dean thought he was and Sam saw nothing wrong with keeping that little secret to himself.
Supernatural Season 6 picks off a few months later, with Dean happily working in construction, moving past Sam’s death, and helping Lisa to raise her son Ben. Sam has somehow gotten himself out of his Hell cage and continues to grapple with the idea that he’s alive and Dean doesn’t know it. As the hour heads towards a conclusion, the brothers Winchester are brought back together to meet up with an old friend they never thought they’d see again!
What follows will be a season that answers questions about what happened to Sam and what has changed about their world. The brothers will deal with new monsters every week (vampires, fairies, and leprechauns, for starters), bringing viewers and the show back to the less-mythology-dense seasons of old. Where Dean was once the hunter who didn’t want to settle down, the tides have turned and the brothers have switched roles. Sam wants to fight and Dean is dragged back into the hunter life, metaphorically kicking and screaming the whole way there. Leprechauns and fairies should be nothing to a group of hunters that fought the devil (Bobby (Jim Beaver) and Castiel (Misha Collins) included); it’s the emotional battles that will get in the way.

SEASON OPENERS FOR “DEXTER: BORED TO DEATH”
 Michael C. Hall, as the title character, finds himself back in a funeral home on the Season 5 opener of ‘Dexter,’ which airs Sept. 26 on Showtime. |
There’s rarely been such foreshadowing for a drama’s new season like the bloody end of Season 4 on “Dexter” ( Showtime, tonight at 9). After finally dispatching the Trinity Killer, the menacing character that got an Emmy for John Lithgow, Michael C. Hall‘s Dexter Morgan was anxious to return to his wife, only to find that she’d been murdered, Trinity-style.
As the fifth season begins, seconds after the discovery, Dexter has to come to terms with the loss, break the news to the children and try to find a place in the world as a solo dad. Are his killing impulses enhanced or snuffed? At the same time, some people at the department are starting to wonder whether he was reponsible.
Hall’s acting has only gotten deeper for the new season; the ensemble cast is as solid as any on TV. The show itself is up for changes too, with the departure of Connecticut’s Clyde Phillips. But as it begins, it seems to be solid.
