Rejoice, Real Housewives fans! The ladies of Atlanta are coming back — Bravo has announced that NeNe, Sheree, Kim, Lisa, and new addition Kandi Burruss will hit the airwaves Thursday, July 30, at 10 p.m. That's just 36 days away, thank goodness.
But let me break this down in terms that all of us Housewives lovers can easily understand: You will only have three Housewives-less weeks to endure in July, seeing as how the "lost footage" from the New Jersey series airs Thursday, July 9. Hopefully, you'll be on vacation during some of this time, and you won't even notice.
After the jump, a quick update on what's going on with the Atlanta ladies, according to Bravo.
- Kim: When we meet back up with the ladies, Kim will have broken up with the mysterious "Big Poppa," yet she'll still be reeling from it all. (Translation: It ain't over!) And, of course, she'll still be trying to turn her busted voice into a successful music career, with the help of the new gal, which brings us to…
- Kandi: A friend of Lisa, the newbie jumps right into the nest of ladies. The recently engaged Kandi, who is a former member of the '90s R&B girl group Xscape, sets her sights on launching her solo career with a new album and by helping Kim.
- Lisa: She's still doing real estate, but with that slowing because of the economy, Lisa decides to launch a clothing line called Closet Freak. Mmhmm. Lisa also contemplates having another baby — but her husband's NFL career might deter things.
- NeNe: The fan-favorite is still busy doing the charity thing while also looking for her biological father. Looks like her sassy mouth is going to get her into more trouble, too! (Translation: Hell yeah!) Oh yah, and the fan favorite's fan-favorite friend Dwight Eubanks will be back.
- Sheree: In the best move ever, Sheree throws a divorce party to celebrate the end of her nuptials. To keep the celebration going, she throws herself into her clothing line, She by Sheree, and its runway debut.
And, of course, the release doesn't detail who's fighting with who this season, but we can generally assume that everyone will be fighting with everyone. Or at least hope for that. The release says funny things like that NeNe will "explore her ever-evolving friendships with the other housewives, with some dramatic results," and that with Lisa "old rumors resurface." Translations: catfights. Lots of them! Hallelujah!

Guest for Thursday at 10:30p is Chris Campion. Former/current singer of the band Knockout Drops. He wrote, acted and sang in the one man off Broadway musical “Escape From Bellevue” re-uniting the Knockout Drops. The title comes from his landing in BellevueHospital (notorious for the commitment of those who may not be mentally stable.) two and a half times, and escaping the second time. The first time anyone had escaped from Bellevue since 1963. (No small feat).
“Escape From Bellevue” is Chris’s coming of age story chronicling 20 years of a Long Island kid chasing his grown up dreams of rock stardom in Manhattan’s music scene while partying as hard as he performed and eventually hitting bottom. He followed up the play with a book of the same name that is a celebration of his Rock ‘n’ Roll failures, and finally finding redemption.

What kind of moron thinks helping someone who can’t carry a tune in a bucket is going to revive her musical career? Any credibility she ever had as a performer/songwriter will go out the window.
Change the channel and STFU?
I am so glad that the ATL girls are back. After the fiasco known as RH of NJ, it will be so much fun to run with these gals that have A LOT more class thrown in with a little bit of Jerry Springer! CAN’T WAIT!
I’m almost looking forward to the show if I wasn’t dreading hearing Kim exclaim yet again how she is white version of Sheree. Sheree, as much as I can’t stand her arrogant b&&tch act, should take this as a major insult. Kim is only on the show because she is completely and utterly delusion- H will freeze over before she can carry a tune. I like that this show, unlike the HWONJ includes the husbands and family. I expect there will be more ganging up on NeNe- but she can take it.
OMG!!! I am happy beyond belief this show is coming back. I love my ATL chicks, especially NeNe! She’s fab!!
Sorry, but I can’t believe people watch these skallywags!

Real Housewives of Atl are the most ghetto group of women ever!!! I live in buckhead, do any of these women actually live in the city?? Kim is white trash, that is the nice word for ni@@er. Atlanta is not full of black women with NBA basketball/football players jonesing for a hookup, i am ashamed to say i grew up and have lived in atlanta my entire life!! you wanna real housewive of Atlanta, stop the crap with the “celebrity wanna-be’s”. I am a real single housewife of buckhead. Sorry I don’t have time to go out whenever I want. I live in a mid-rise condo in Atlanta. All my entertainment, not from men I date, I have no time for that, but from my true friends, girls, guys, gay each gender. Please all of you “real housewives” overweight, leaning on your husbands for their cash, pleeeeese, how can you not know your home is in foreclosure???? Is your head in your ass?? Wanna see a real housewife, Bravo needs to do a lot better with casting in atlanta. MonetteChristophers.Com

Saw the show and I loved it.
Kandi – I know you are afraid to read the blogs but just wanted to encourage you to hang in there because your mom will come around as long as AJ steps up to the plate and does the right thing by you. I just love Aunt Bertha because she tells it like it is – she is the cutest and reminds me of some of my relatives. Stay strong!!!!
