For as much mileage as the “Real Housewives” franchise still has, it’s often a struggle for newer branches to successfully bloom.

However, for ‘The Real Housewives Of Potomac’ it’s proving a task they’re up to.

A ratings success, the Bravo show has proven increasingly popular during its second season.

Paired for much of its run with the ‘Atlanta’ arm, the series has maintained over 1 million viewers – even after the Spring climax of its older sister.

This Sunday sees the final part of the season 2 reunion special air, with the ladies addressing a number of pertinent issues.

Per the sneak peeks below, Robyn‘s odd relationship with Juan is dissected the more, as are the marriages of Karen, Ashley, and Charisse. What’s more, with newcomer Monique reading Gizelle (for filth) in part one, it’s anyone’s guess what firework’s she’ll be setting off for the closing instalment.

According to sources, there’s a shake-up over at ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ and it involves Eva Marcille.

TMZ reports that producers for the show’s highly anticipated 10th season are keen on the ‘America’s Next Top Model’ winner. So much so that she’s already filming “test scenes” with a returning NeNe Leakes.

A selection of prior recruits have had suspect/non-existent ties to ATL pre-joining the show, but Eva’s connection is rock solid. The LA native has been in a long-term relationship with Atlanta based politician Michael Sterling.

The idea, production sources say, is to have her potentially replace Cynthia Bailey or Porsha Williams – two names said to be in danger of reduced roles due to a lack of storyline.

**************

It’s worth stressing that there have been many a lady who’ve filmed with the cast, sometimes for much of the season, only to be edited out almost entirely come airtime.

That said, Eva would make an excellent addition. At least on paper.

She’s sassy, intelligent, and has an established profile. Crucially, from a storyline standpoint, she also has a lot going on too – namely her budding acting career, a bae, a daughter, and a touch of “baby daddy drama” with Kevin McCall.

It’s a hard call establishing who she’d be a good replacement for.

At 32, she brings the youth appeal Porsha is loved for; while her ‘ANTM’ background makes her a natural successor to former model Cynthia.

Whatever the case, we’d love to see Eva The Diva on the ‘Housewives.’ Would you?

Five seasons after her arrival on the series, Kenya Moore stands as the only ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ “newbie” to retain a full-time position on the series thanks to short-lived moments delivered by Claudia Jordan and Kim Fields.

Unfortunately, as those who doubt their authenticity of her marriage cite the supposed lack of court documents as their grounds for “concern”, the TV villain is said to have learned that she has been fired from the show.

Why?

Unconfirmed reports claim Moore infuriated producers when she chose to wed her husband off-camera days after production on the show’s tenth season kicked off robbing viewers of the opportunity to watch her become a bonafide ‘Wife’.

June 5th brought with it the first day of filming for ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s tenth season.

When it’s set to premiere? November. However, you won’t have to wait until then to catch a meaty piece of what it is to come this time around.

That’s right…we have your very first look right here on TGJ!

Th snap and footage above was pulled from a party thrown by friend to the ‘Wives’ Shamea Morton whose wedding will feature in the season which is to welcome NeNe Leakes to the mix in the coming weeks.

Quite interestingly, there’s still no official word on Phaedra Parks‘ supposed dismissal.

Are you looking forward to the new season?

“Reboot” appears to be the name of the game in 2017, especially as it relates to shows birthed in the ’90s and early 2000s.  Fans of sitcoms like ‘That’s So Raven,’ ‘Full House,’ and ‘Will & Grace’ may have already had their wishes to see the shows’ casts respectively reunite for another go at ratings glory granted, but those calling for the revival of other hits from the time period are being greeted with less enthusiasm (to say the least).

The difficult case for finding footing and funding is definitely such for ‘Sister, Sister’ – an unfortunate truth its stars, Tia & Tamera, confirmed on a recent episode of daytime talk show, ‘The Real.’  Tuck in below as the sisters reunite with Marques Houston (‘Roger’) and talk about the hurdles they’re overcoming to get the show back on the air:

It was the dragging heard ’round the world.

Earlier today, R&B firecracker K. Michelle popped ALL THE WAY OFF on comedienne/‘The Real’ hostess Loni Love and ‘The Breakfast Club’ DJ Angela Yee for raising the topic of Yee’s year-old heated interview with the ‘Can’t Raise a Man’ singer.  A heated interview, mind you, that saw Michelle also tear into Yee at that time as well.

The R&B songstress made it well known on Twitter today that she was not in favor of being discussed in her absence and launched a scathing verbal attack against the two parties involved.

See ALL of the exchange inside if you missed any of the action, including the clip that set K. off:

‘The Real’ is readying a month’s worth of sassy guest hosts.

Indeed, since the dramatic departure of Tamar Braxton last year, the FOX talkshow has welcomed a lengthy list of ladies to fill in her vacant seat.

Word on the curb is that many of the visitors are in actuality testing out for a more full-time role on the show. Although, the validity of that remains to be seen.

What is certain though is that producers have lined up an array of engaging names for April through May.

Included are Joseline Hernandez (who we loved during her initial stint), radio personality Angela Yee, rapper Remy Ma, Mel B. The latter is especially interesting given the messy divorce she’s currently living out publicly.

A number of unconfirmed reports have claimed that Cynthia Bailey‘s time on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ as she knows it has come to an end.

“As long as it’s told correctly and everyone gets to tell their story, be a part of it, I think it’s important. If you’re gonna tell a part of my life, let me in on it.”

The quote above echoes a sentiment shared by fellow Destiny’s Child alum, Kelly Rowland, who took to Essence Live to discuss the possibility of a DC3 biopic after the success of BET’s biographical mini-series on legendary R&B group New Edition (click here to read more about that).

Williams, who dropped by ‘The Real’ today as guest co-host, elaborated on the prospect of the production with the show’s resident hostesses and engaged in some shady girl chat along the way.  Hear a bit inside if you missed it:

Tamar Braxton is never one to hold her tongue.

As such, her visit to The Wendy Williams Show today was always going to be a compelling watch.

Joined by her husband and manager Vince Herbert, the singing reality star chopped it up with the former shock jock about a host of topics.

In true ‘Wendy’ fashion, no stone was left unturned.

Case in point, Tamar being quizzed on her axe from ‘The Real’ and her currently relationship (or lack there of) with her former co-hosts. Also discussed were sister Toni’s relationship with Birdman, and the new season of ‘Braxton Family Values.’

Jennifer Lopez is as established as established gets.

However, when it comes to plugging a project, the superstar is renown for strutting the promo trail with the vigour of a newcomer.

With season 2 of her hit NBC show ‘Shades Of Blue’ on air, J.Lo stopped by The Real to dish on the next instalment of the ratings winner.

Showered with praise from the panelists – especially fellow Latina Adrienne Bailon, La Lopez made for an awesome guest.
