Housewives-Atlanta_l
Virginia Sherwood

9-9:30 PM · Bravo · Debuts Oct. 7

CONCEPT The reality franchise about leisured ladies heads South.
THE SCOOP No shy Southern belles here. ''I'm like a black, female Simon Cowell,'' says star NeNe. ''I tell it like it is.'' Okay, NeNe — tell us about your fellow Housewives: ''Lisa's the hustler; DeShawn is the peacemaker; Kim is an impulse shopper — and a backstabber; Sheree is a fashionista and a bitch.''
BOTTOM LINE NeNe swears they aren't just drama queens. ''We're all mothers.'' Plus, ''You'll see us do charity work.'' We expect nothing less from hustlers, backstabbers, and bitches.
