Something to chew on

"I really appreciate all of your hard work, Anthony. You are a true gentleman, and I shall sing your praises to the Altanta gentry."
"Why thank you, Ms. Whitfield. You are simply delightful, and it was a pleasure working with you."
While I'm working on the recap for last night's magnificent Season 2 premiere of Real Housewives of Atlanta, let's discuss Sheree's guest appearance on Watch What Happens, as it will shed some light on her brawl with Anthony, a Top Level Executive (aka "Boo").
Sheree is in the Bravo clubhouse with Andy Cohen and Anthony is live on the phone to tell his side of the story. Andy's first question (and maybe the only one?) is hands down, one of the best interview questions I have EVER heard, and it is said with all of the cross-eyed earnestness that Mr. Cohen can muster: "'I eat bitches like you every day.' What did you mean by that?"
WELL. I would either burst into laughter or tears if that question was asked of me, but not Anthony. He matches Andy's serious tone and says that as someone who has been in the entertainment industry for 22 years, he has worked with many personalities, but none as dominating and thankless as Sheree. He reveals that his company was sponsoring the party for her--meaning Sheree was getting a $60,000 roses-thrown-at-your-feet and other narcissistic bullshit party FOR FREE.
QUESTIONS:
1. If you are getting a $60k party for free, do you have the right to bitch about not getting a helicopter?
2. If you are getting a $60k party for free, do you have the right to bitch about ANYTHING?
3. Is is ever appropriate to shout "EAT ME, DARLIN'!" during a planning meeting that does not involve food?
Think about that, will you? While you're thinking, I will treat you to a screen shot of Dwight getting ready to work out at the gym. In a magenta fedora.
Such a colorful fellow, that Dwight.

I, like Bethany Frankel nearly peed my pants watching the premiere. I die!
Can't wait for your recap.
along the same lines-- Phil Hartman playing Frank Sinatra on SNL:
"You don't scare me, I got chunks of guys like you in my stool."
I missed it! I don't know how this is possible!
UGH. Anyway, I love Dwight. I really do.
"Who gonna check me, boo?"
also,
"Whatever happened to...customer service?"
Rad.
Uh, don't judge, SGM. I would never even THINK about stepping foot on a treadmill without my magenta-colored fedora.
I love me some Dwight. What a cool, impeccably dressed character. Don't you just know his place looks like it's out of some photo layout? The gays have it together.
This "Housewives" has gone too far down the Jerry Springer path.
In the New York one, there was genuine wit ("Dis-Countess") and the women were, for rich ladies who didn't have to work, pretty productive. I enjoyed watching Jill sell curtains at Zarin; she was funny and super-competent.
These women, on the other hand, are all pretty worthless to society. The show just ebbs and flows on the tides of these random waves of hatred and jealousy. It's animalistic, almost.
Oooooh, Jilly....who are you callin' gay, Boo? Don't make me check you~~!!

DAMN! I am having all kinds of linking problems. IT'S DREADFUL!! Anyway, either cut and paste or the above link only takes you to the Essence homepage and Dwight's engagement (complete with the photo with his fiancee) is from April 3, 2009.
That fight was so cringe inducing, I have trouble believing it wasn't staged.
I completely agree with you, Clare. The fight was soooo over the top, I can't believe it wasn't staged.
BTW, is it me or does Dwight look like he's had some major work done? His face looks stretched to the max!
Yes, Dwight looks like he is made of plastic (love him, though).
Maria, how do you know all of this good gossip?! He's engaged to a WOMAN? I'm going to go read the article on PC right now.
Just resubscribed (I was having withdrawl) - maybe he's engaged to a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman or something like that... Love Dwight!
