Shocking News: Real Housewives not real.

From Jezebel Magazine via Creative Loafing we find that the reality show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” which followed the lives of four typical rich Atlanta women, wasn’t all that real.

Among the allegations Jezebel reports: NeNe and her “real estate investor” husband Gregg were evicted from their home — it was a rental (!) — and that the actual relationship between the two is unclear. Sheree’s put her house on the market for $2.8 million and is arguing her divorce settlement all the way to the state Supreme Court. Lisa filed for bankruptcy after she couldn’t repay a $150,000 loan from ex-husband Keith Sweat (we feel ya, Lisa!). Kim’s selling her townhouse in a terrible market but is dating a plastic surgeon (score!). And it turns out a quasi-scandal during her teenage years in Connecticut helped clarify speculation about her age. DeShawn is DeShawn and apparently doing OK.

I know, I’m blown away too.

From a marketing standpoint, “Fake Housewives of Duluth” just didn’t have the same zing.

So I guess Sheppie’s next poll should be:

Who should represent us on the new Bravo spinoff, “Real Lives of Peach Pundit Bloggers?”

TO QUOTE A FAMOUS MOVIE CHARACTER:

Stupid is as stupid does.

I could set up a webcam. This way they could find the drunken a-hole who hijacked my command center last night.

The real shocking news is that Buzz reads Jezebel.

“The real shocking news is that Buzz reads Jezebel.”

Buzz is the closest thing the Republican party has to a true Renaissance Man.

To protect Buzz’s good name, it was gossip blog Jezebel, not Jezebel Magazine.

That makes it better for Buzz how, exactly?

You see the lengths I go to for you folks? Jezebel the blog, Jezebel the magazine, whatever. To be a pop culture expert, you need to roll up you pant legs, wade into the swamp and get the really good stuff.

Of course it’s really all Wheatley’s fault.
