Real Housewives’ Kordell ‘You Need To Choose Between A Baby And A Career’ Stewart Is Divorcing Porsha Williams

I was somewhere in the most recent season of Real Housewives of Atlanta when Porsha Williams had a tense conversation with husband Kordell Stewart. He was lecturing her on why she needed to choose between having a baby or a career à la Mad Men, while also implying that he would not assist in the childrearing — nor would they be hiring a nanny. I was thinking to myself, “Wow! She’s crying and looks really unhappy. She should totes divorce that guy.”

Turns out that guy is totes divorcing her. More »

In A Majorly Ignorant Diss To Stay-At-Home Dads, Real Housewives’ Yolanda Says No Man Could Juggle It All

There’s a tad too much gender essentialism floating around parenting conversations in 2013 and you don’t even need to tune into sexist diaper ads to hear any of it. While some stay-at-home dads are trying to wake advertisers up to the fact that — yes — a man is capable of running a home without burning it down, others are still toting that tired Only A Mother Can Do It All logic. Like Yolanda Foster from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. More »

But what are Real Housewives starlets if not professional promoters of personality brands? They know the deal. Modern PR rule number one (or at least two or three). “Post-baby body” = massive head turning. More »

If anyone is sick of Brandi Glanville talking, it’s me. Believe me.

But she admittedly uses Twitter to co-parent

She handles conflict with the kids' father with knives

She jokes about how her husband "raped" her

She calls up tabloids to give rambly interviews about LeAnn Rimes

Nothing engenders a hearty laugh like rape!

Hey Brandi And LeAnn,This Girl On Girl Crime Has To Stop – Now Go To Your Rooms!

I can’t be the only mom who looks at the feud between Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes and thinks it can be solved by sending them both to their rooms and grounding them from having access to the Internet for a while. Now, I may not be an expert on Real Housewives or country music, but I am an expert on other things, like candy and Adam And The Ants and the BBC television show Luther, so I can say as an expert on things that both Brandi and LeeAnn need to STFU and stop drama-vomiting all over the world and remember that they are not only grownass women, but they are grownass women who are supposed to be co-parenting children.
