'Don't Be Tardy for the ...' OK, nevermind

On last night's Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, Kim Zolciak sang her song "Tardy for the Party" live. Hmmm ... "sang" isn't really the right word. Even remotely. Ever stumbled into a karaoke bar? And everybody's drunk and tone-deaf and doesn't know it? Yeah ... well, the pained looks on the other housewives' faces make it worthwhile. In a can't-look-away kind of way ...

Christian Siriano, other Bravo stars to get own shows

Project Runway alum (and Annapolis native) Christian Siriano is going to get his own show on Bravo, Variety reports.

Also with deals in the works are Fabio Viviani from season five of Top Chef and Bethenny Frankel from Real Housewives of New York.

The item from Variety states: The flamboyant Siriano, who won season four of Project Runway (back when the show still aired on Bravo), will be featured in his show as he sets up a new shop and markets his clothing line.

See photos of Christian and other Maryland reality TV stars in this gallery.

'Real Housewives Of D.C.' apparently begins shooting this week

Chances are you'll probably bump into a camera crew if you go into D.C. There are like a billion reality shows being shot there right now! Okay, maybe like four or five. (In addition to Real Housewives of D.C., The Real World is currently filming, and a couple other shows, including one about Capitol Hill movers and shakers, are in the works.)

Bravo is in town filming its highly anticipated D.C. version of its Real Housewives franchise. The cameras are suppose to start rolling Friday.

Politico.com has posted a "wish-list" of women in the District who would make good castmembers, but it's unlikely any of these women would actually appear on the show.

Several blogs, including this one, have already posted some names of women believed to be on the show.

I just hope that Bravo will be able to field a cast that reflects the rich diversity that D.C. has to offer.

And for those of you who are in love with the current members of the Atlanta cast, you'll get a kick out of this horrible single, "Tardy For The Party," by Kim. It is soooooo bad!

'Real Housewife' Lisa Wu Hartwell not evicted

Contrary to the TMZ report from earlier in the week, People.com reports that Lisa Wu Hartwell and her husband Ed were not evicted or foreclosed upon. They did downsize, though, and they did do a short sale for their house, which apparently caused some confusion.

Drama, drama for the Atlanta 'Housewives'

John-John Williams IV catches us up on some reality TV news ...

The Real Housewives of Atlanta have been keeping fans entertained with their antics both onscreen and off-screen this season.

First, Kim is claiming that fan-favorite NeNe chocked her — twice!

Check out this story here, and listen to Kim’s 911 call here.

Second, Kim made news when TMZ posted a photo of her and her elusive, never-seen boyfriend “Big Poppa.” After seeing how short he is compared to her, I can’t help but laugh each time I hear his nickname. I’m thinking Papa Smurf would be more appropriate.

And last but not least, this story claims that Lisa might be having some financial issues.

It’s never a dull moment in Atlanta!
