Kenya Moore’s Atlanta Connection + Drama At The Bailey Agency JET Magazine Model Search… [PHOTOS]

ATLien — Sun, 20 May 2012 08:30:27 +0000

Kenya Moore, the newest ”housewife” on the block, Lawrence Washington and a friend were photographed hanging out at a local bar last week.

I exclusively broke the news two weeks ago that Kenya Moore was the newest addition to The Real Housewives of Atlanta and these photos further confirm my previous report.

While it’s a well-known fact that Lawrence and ex-housewife Sheree Whitfield parted ways after Whitfield blamed him for her hair loss, the former Miss USA has no fear and reportedly “Miss Lawrence” will her hairstylist of choice this season.

That’s Moore’s Atlanta connection #1. I don’t think anyone wants me to mention Connection #2, which is Moore’s on again/off again relationship with former Atlanta Falcons “Dirty Bird” Jamal Anderson.

[Sidebar: I heard Kenya's been jetting into Atlanta for several weeks now dining with Jamal and house hunting (but you ain't heard that from me.]

And speaking of “JET,” Kenya and R&B crooner Q. Parker (formerly of 112) played judge alongside Cynthia Bailey as The Bailey Agency hosted JET Magazine’s beauty of the week model search last week.

Stripper ReDickulous recently let it slip that Bailey & Moore bumped heads during the shoot.

Ex-Atlanta Housewife Sheree Whitfield Is Delusional But At Least She’s Moved On… [PHOTOS]

ATLien — Sun, 20 May 2012 02:10:37 +0000

Sheree Whitfield , formerly of The Real Housewives of Atlanta posed for the photo above after being auctioned off for about $800 during a celebrity charity event in Atlanta last month.

No word on how that $800 date went, but the ex-housewife is currently getting her life in order after being unceremoniously booted from just about the only job she’s ever had.

As you know, Sheree was fired from the popular show and when speculation ran rampant that she’d gotten the boot, she attempted to save face by issuing a cleverly worded statement proclaiming that it was actually her decision to walk away from the drama.

Needless to say, no one believed her. So in a recent interview, Sheree attempts to clear the air yet again.

Whitfield reiterates that her split from Bravo was her decision. She also discusses the status of her child support battle with retired NFL ex-husband Bob Whitfield, why the big bad wolf will never blow down Chataeu Sheree (click HERE for a recent view of the property), and gives a bit of advice to Kenya Moore, her new replacement.
