I was tired of the red hair, personally. I am glad Kandi made a change! She tweeted her followers the pucture above. She wrote: “Well @DerekJHair gave me a new look today…. I gotta get used to it.”
Derek J tweeted the picture, saying “@kandi looking real sexy for the reunion.”
Oooooooow Wee! Kandi Burrus was on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Next with her mother and was asked which celebrity she would like to sleep with. She named Usher because she said she heard he was great in bed. She later said she would never pursue that because the two of them were friends.
Before the show was over, Tameka Foster (Usher’s Ex) was notified by a Twitter follower and made a few comments about Kandi’s reputation in the streets! Check it out!
When a fan informed Tameka of Kandi’s response via Twitter, Tameka said:
“Girl that doesn’t surprise me, there isn’t many left in town that she hasn’t so…… Go figure…”
Kandi didn’t appreciate Tameka implying that she sleeps around, so she responded:
“You on some real bull**** i see…. wow.”
Tameka, calling Kandi’s bluff, Tweeted:
“See I like real live convos.. So anyone that wants to talk to me can DIAL or come SEE ME. I don’t play cyber games..”
We got dibs on our girl Kandi.
Ohhh.. Kim… She has an assistant and they go running… alllll the way to some little corner store where they beg for a free beer. Classy. “Being a popstar and a looking good go hand in hand!”
Phaedra works her magic but asks “Got some money to pay me?” Nene reminds us that Phaedra’s famed client, Bobby Brown,” was 10 years ago!” Continue reading
I found this to be an interesting read from Rollingout magazine. Check it out and tell me if you agree!
Why “Real Housewives of Atlanta” is Hated by Some Black Women
“I am a wife of one husband for 26 years, I have a married daughter who graduated from UGA and is now working as a social worker and starting her doctoral program in August of 2010 and a son in the 11th grade. I have tried to be a role model and example to my children at home and in the workforce. I manage a minority medical practice and I do not allow my staff to act unprofessionally, even though sometimes my female patients try to take us there,” says Holmes. –terry shropshire
While the “RHOA” enjoys the largest fan base of any of the “Real Housewives” franchise — as evidenced by their record-breaking ratings — Holmes sums up the sentiments of the anti-”Atlanta Housewife” crowd by saying the shows counters everything she believes in and the stereotype helps to erode the moral fabric of the black community. [Source]
Seshana Patterson says the women’s antics, which oftentimes come off as manufactured and fake, have long since grown trifling and tired. “I say get rid of both their a—-,” she says. “Kim is a flipping idiot and she can’t, no matter what anybody says — sing. NeNe just got on my nerves last season. Every altercation she had with Kandi, she was in the wrong. And how dare she call Kandi ghetto when she is the definition of the word. Dump them both. ”
When rumors began swirling wildly that “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” was about to fire NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak from season three, some women were very disappointed.
They were actually hoping the whole show would be cancelled altogether.
Or at least some were hoping that Bravo TV, which airs “RHOA,” would replace most or all the cast members and start anew with more dignified, more qualified and a higher caliber group of women. What these African American businesswomen did not want was the continued illumination of what they termed limelight-lusting, dimwitted, gold-digging, ghetto-minded, foul-mouthed, drama-seeking women — and then try to pass them off as the average black woman.
Sarah P. Holmes, an executive administrator for an Atlanta OB/GYN, says that Bravo TV is exploiting the women’s ghetto-fabulous mentalities for record ratings and revenue. She wants her fellow professionals to boycott the raunchy show or block the channel from their children.
“The show is a disgrace to me as a professional black woman. Adding the ex-wife of Usher is a step down from the current women,” Holmes says, responding to the widely circulated rumors that Tameka Raymond would be added to the show. Bravo executives deny. “What will a network do to get ratings. Strong black women of dignity unite to protest this show,” implores the outraged executive.
Kye Lynn Wilson, an insurance company executive, says she has yet to see what value the show provides to young, black women nationwide — or any women at all for that matter.
“I personally think the show is a pretty poor reflection on black women,” Wilson begins. “What really bothers me about the show is how they are all so caught up in materialism and always keeping up with the Joneses. Everyone, with the exception of Kandi, seems to be very superficial. And I especially think it is a really bad show for young and impressionable girls. All that fighting, arguing and carrying on. I mean, really, what is it that we are even supposed to learn from the show? Or, is it just really bad entertainment?”
Nobody ever tells me anything but I got a tip that Senior Vice President of Production and Programming at the Bravo cable television network, Andy Cohen has pursued BET’s Neffe for the third season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” We have been hearing that they plan to cut someone and I think we all know that Nene and Kim aren’t going anywhere. That being said, there have also been rumors that Nene is getting her own show on another network. Anyway, what do you all think about Neffe being on RHoATL? She is technically more of a housewife that Kim, Kandi, and Sheree! She does live in ATL! It definitely wouldn’t hurt the ratings! Y’all think about it and I will keep my ear to the streets!
The red carpet special had me thinking this production might be a tad “hood” but I was hoping for the best! Toni Braxton started the show off with her new single and a new wig. The wig was much better than her regular situation. It was good enough for Trey Songz to want to sing and kiss Ms. Toni. The kiss, which we have found out was management-arranged was super tacky. Therefore, I will now be referring to Toni as “Tacky Toni.”
I forgot that Terrance Howard could sing. He and Taraji come out singing their rendition of “Reunited” and it was pretty dope. They also kissed on the lips and it was much less tacky in comparison to the messy kiss between Tacky Toni and Trey Songz!
Keri Hilson wraps up the first award with best new artist and it was then that I noticed that she had the weirdest wig.. it had like a duck tail. She is quite sexy to me though!
In between dumb jokes we got to meet the ladies from the “Queen Project” with Kelly Price, Deborah Cox, and Tamia. They presented the award for the album of the year which went to Beyonce. She accepted her award from Russia. Keri was next to perform and I decided that she is a level two Ciara.
Keith Sweat comes out to introduce Charlie Wilson. Not sure what eh was doing but everything about him was annoying. I wonder if he bumped into his ex-wife Lisa Wu Hartwell while at the show! With all due respect to the Legendary Charlie Wilson, how old are you when you are too old to have braids and wear hats in buildings? Ginuwine comes out to perform for Charlie and started on the wrong note but later got it together. Kandi and Brian McKnight comes out to sing something. Kandi sounds a mess. Well, I guess she was aiight.
I’m a fan of Ryan Leslie’s but that performance wasn’t at all memorable. Mario is one of my favorites. I would say he would he does no wrong but who does a song with Sean Garrett! Musical beauty. Musical beast.
I’m not really a Trey Songz fan and I am certain he didn’t invent sex but since the fall of Chris Brown.. he is at the top of his game and I can’t be mad! The song is not bad.
The Soul Train review lost me whenTaraji opened it up as Diana Ross. IS THAT CHICO?
I loved Boys II Men. They remind me of my entire childhood! The singing of Raheem D. is great!
Not many awards were given out at this show but if I could just make up one, I would give it to Chrissette Michelle for having the dopest performance of the night. I need to add her to my Xmas list!
Why does BET need a new network when they don’t even have the first one together! What was that rat-colored shrug Debra Lee had on? Her hair was nice though. Anyways.. the highlight of this show was the group of SANGERS that paid tribute to Chaka Khan…. Erykah Badu was AWESOME! Angie was alright. Chaka has on Precious’ pajamas.
Check out the RED CARPET Pictures HERE!
Dwight stopped by the Wendy Williams Show earlier in the year to have tea with her and WHALA! In case you never heard this, enjoy!
Speaking of Usher & T.I….
Shout out to FreddyO.com for the pictures! Oh, and Kandi looks… “Hood.”
See More photos from this event HERE!
So, I am watching the Rickey Smiley Show on Ustream and Niecy Nash is on the show talking about her forthcoming projects. As many of you know, Niecy does the “Clean House” show for the STyle Network. While Niecy is talking Kandi mentions that Monica is a neat freak. Monica is slightly embarrassed (probably because she is not) and recalls the last time that Kandi was over to her house.
“I mean she came in and she was like ‘da** you hire a buncha mexicans or somethin.”
Check out the video! It’s pretty long but it all starts around 48:00

Somebody tell Kandi that there are plenty of services that clean homes and all of the employees are not Mexican.
Recently, Tiny sat down with XXL Magazine and was asked about her relationship with T.I. and when they planned on tying the knot. Tiny responded, ”Sometime next year, but we can’t really give a date yet because we have to find out exactly when Tip is coming home, we’ll have to just plan around that, but I envision a fairy tale wedding.”
Do you think she would ask her ex-band mate Kandi Burrus to sing at her wedding? If I were you Tiny, I would just go with Monica.
