The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Premiere Recap: The Shade of it All!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back for Season 8 on Bravo, and man alive, did we miss all the drama, feuds and shade-throwing insanity in the ATL.


Let’s break down the premiere in style!



On The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 1, Sheree Whitfield made her return, while new star Kim Fields was MIA for the first installment.


NeNe Leakes, meanwhile, has finally left the series after threatening to do so every single year. But fear not, the O.G. will appear later this season.


As for the rest of the women …


Kandi Burruss‘ efforts to have a child with Todd Tucker have apparently worked. She’s expecting! And still pushing herself hard at work and life.


Porsha Williams has won back series regular, or “full peach” status after a one-year recurring role demotion for beating the s–t out of Kenya Moore.


The controversial cast member is working at Dish Nation, dating Duke Williams of the Buffalo Bills, and “living in my truth and without apologies.”


At least for one episode.


Also in a better place? Kenya Moore, who is “attracting all these guys” and working on her new house. No word if that pilot ever got the green light.


As for Cynthia Bailey, she and Peter Thomas are at odds over a video showing him inappropriately touching another woman, which he denies.


As Phaedra put it, “Papa Smurf is a little horny.” Look for this – and the duo’s already strained marriage – to be a focal point early on this season.


The aforementioned Sheree Whitfield, who was dispatched after Season 4 for an apparent lack of story lines, is back as a “friend” here in 2015.


Kenya quickly throws shade at her about her unfinished mansion and whether she’s only coming around to ask for money for the light bill. BURN.


Now nearly a year since Apollo Nida went to prison, Phaedra Parks is still upset about Kandi’s lack of support throughout that entire ordeal.


It looks like there’s another element to this beef, too, regarding Todd helping Phaedra out with a workout video and allegedly not being paid.


Follow the link to watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online, but before we sign off this recap, the women’s new taglines for Season 8:


Cynthia Bailey (using her first and last name, in case there was confusion): “Seasons change, but Cynthia Bailey never goes out of style.”


Kandi Burruss: “I’m a hitmaker, and this year I will reveal the best one.”


Kenya Moore: “Don’t come for me, unless I twirl for you.”


Kim Fields: “Faith, family and career – those are the facts of my life.”


Phaedra Parks: “Only God can judge me, and he seems quite impressed.”


Porsha Williams: “I’m about to give you life, so stay out of my way!”


As usual, we have no idea what Porsha is talking about.

Kylie Jenner and Tyga Nearly Get to First Base!

So much for those Kylie Jenner-Tyga break-up rumors.


The 18-year old and her much older boyfriend didn’t just attend Kris Jenner’s Great Gatsby-themed birthday party on Friday night…



… they totally got their spit-swapping on there!


Jenner posted the above photo to her Snapchat account over the weekend, giving followers one of their most intimate looks to date of her relationship with Tyga.


The stars have been open with their love ever since Kylie turned 18 in August, but they haven’t shown many actual Public Displays of Affection since controversially coupling up many months ago.


They did kiss one other time on Snapchat, however.


And just because we haven’t seen a whole lot of Jenner playing tonsil hockey with Tyga or cuddling up to her man, that doesn’t mean we haven’t heard far too much about it.


Remember that song Tyga wrote about penetrating his young girlfriend? We’ve love to forget it, too, trust us.


Jenner is 18 years old and Tyga is 25 years old, but they started to date before the former was legally allowed to vote or purchase alcohol.


Even Khloe Kardashian has hinted here and there that she’s uncomfortable with the relationship.


But none of this criticism bothers Kylie or Tyga. They’re going strong, either totally in love with each other or totally in love with the publicity their romance continues to generate.


One or the other.


Justin Bieber Flips Over Chair, Insists He Did Not Flip Out

Justin Bieber came very close to pulling a Teresa Giudice at a restaurant in Cannes, France late last week.


Instead of flipping over a table, however, the singer flipped over a chair on his way out of the establishment.


Was this yet another recent controversy created by the singer, who acted all condescending in a concert abroad when telling fans how to clap?


And who stormed off the stage during a show in Norway after playing just one track because he was pissed that some fans spilled some water and wouldn"t make it easy on him to clean up?


It appears that way. It appears to be another example of Bieber acting like a spoiled brat.


But Justin swears this wasn"t the case. And he"s perturbed anyone would say differently.


After being accused of "flipping out at fans" by Perez Hilton, Bieber replied on Twitter and wrote the following:


"lol. No one is flipping out dude. My buddy had just told me some bad personal news. Don"t lie please."


He then added:


"Just took pics with a bunch of Beliebers. I must have been mad at them. Lol."


Bieber still wasn"t finished, though. He shared multiple GIFs of chairs being thrown online, trying to make light of the incident and concluding, in a note to supporters:


"Don"t listen to what the media has to say. U Want to know me. How I feel. What I"m about.  It is all right here."


In fairness, Justin, your irresponsible behavior has been all over the Internet and has taken place all over the world, as well.


So we"ll believe you here. We hope all is okay with you and your friend and the news he shared.


But don"t make it sound as if jumping to a different conclusion is not perfectly understandable. This is the situation you"ve created for yourself.
