Kenya Moore Throws A Moving Sale Before Moving Into Moore Manor
Kenya Moore is finally moving into Moore Manor, the home she’s been renovating for months. (I assume that sewage problem has been taken care of?) Which means it looks like Kenya won her bet against Sheree Whitfield! #WhereIsChateauSheree
In preparation for occupying Moore Manor, the Real Housewives Of Atlanta star is liquidating the contents of her current home by throwing a big, huge moving sale with all proceeds going to charity. And lucky us – Kenya is inviting all of Team Twirl via Instagram. Let’s hope there are actual items for sale, not just smoke and mirror like at the Moore Headcase Haircare Launch.
Perhaps Kenya is also selling things in order to make room for a nursery?

“Join me celebrate a new chapter in my life,” announced Kenya. “As I move into #MooreManor I’m selling a few pieces of select furniture from my current home. Including my custom made California king bed as seen on #RHOA and the dining room set (except the lucite table). You can also #ShopMyCloset with some of my favorite pieces from past and present including some interview looks from #RHOA”
The sale takes place tomorrow, so if you’re in the Atlanta area and dying for your own personal piece of Team Twirl (or you just want to stalk the mayhem and the goods, and hopefully have a Kenya sighting) – get over there! There’s also an online pop-up shop, if you don’t live nearby. You can check out several of the items for sale, including many pieces worn on Real Housewives Of Atlanta, here.
#MooreManorMovingSale was originally scheduled for last Saturday, but Kenya moved the date “due to overwhelming response.”
Kenya is hosting the sale in partnership with Jackson Charles Home which she explains is “the best and possibly only black owned upscale furniture stores.”
“Preview the #MooreManorMovingSale Saturday at @jacksoncharleshome tons of furniture #RHOA reunion dresses, interview outfits, and #KenyaMooreHairCare I’ll be there to meet and greet See you Saturday! #jacksoncharleshome #kenyamoore #MooreManorMovingSale #furniture #designerclothes *we cannot ship furniture items #proceeds going to charity Please come out to support @jacksoncharleshome the best and possibly only black owned upscale furniture stores. I love supporting a sister and the owner Eddie has been amazing. #jacksoncharleshome.” [Credit: Instagram]
Kenya added that there will be several designer items, including a brand new Balmain coat. “Items are limited, first come first serve, non refundable Designer shoes size 9-10.5 #jimmychoo #manoloblanik #prada #versace Beautiful furniture less than 3 years old most pieces are custom made.”
Kenya hasn’t specified which charity the proceeds are going to – hopefully NOT Detroit Public Schools after that last debacle, or Not My Daughter, after that last debacle, but I’m sure we’ll hear if any shenanigans occur.
“#MooreManorMovingSale I promised I would offer a few pieces to #teamtwirl to #shopmycloset this @cushnieetochs dress as seen in my #RHOA interview was originally priced at over $1595 (I’ll have exact price listed online) selling it for only $495 only worn in my interview * this is a size 6 and can fit a curvy girl it has lots of soft stretchy fabric. Online store opens online tomorrow for those not in Atlanta” [Credit: instagram]
Maybe Sheree should scoot over there and snag herself a piece of furniture or two. NeNe also just bought a new house – maybe she needs some of Kenya’s castoffs?

Phaedra Parks On Juggling The Funeral Business With Her Law Practice
Anyone remember when Phaedra Parks went to Mortuary College and we all assumed it was a passing fancy? It turns out the Real Housewives Of Atlanta star is very devoted to her work with the deceased and presently juggles Phunerals by Phaedra alongside her law practice. (BTW: I made up the name Phunerals By Phaedra – it’s not an actual company).
So how does Phaedra find time to deal with judge and jury and the aftermath? Everybody knows a southern belle must multitask!
“The funeral business is really an overnight and weekend business. Saturday is the funeral day for people of color, usually,” Phaedra explains. “And of course, the courthouses and law firms are closed on Saturdays.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
“If I’m embalming a body, it’s usually overnight,” she adds. “It’s the quietest time of the night that you’re doing the embalming work.” It sounds so… dastardly! Seriously, how is Phunerals by Phaedra not a spinoff yet?
Phaedra even embalmed her grandmother after she passed in 2012.
I always assumed dealing with her Real Housewives Of Atlanta co-stars made Phaedra prefer working with the dead, but it turns out that several family and personal tragedies inspired her to get into the funeral business.

“I went through a very terrible time about two years straight. My sister passed, my law partner died, and two of my friends committed suicide. I became so depressed that it sparked something in me,” Phaedra tells Page Six.
Well I gotta hand it to Phaedra she certainly is the Real Housewife with the most varied endeavors – no wine collections or fashion lines for her; she’s got tasers, an embalming license, and legalese. Oh and workout videos… maybe.
I do have to wonder – how does Phaedra deal with deceased friendships?

Joe Giudice’s Attorney Releases Statement On His Prison Term…What Can Joe Expect While Serving Time At Fort Dix?
The Giudice family reunion was certainly short-lived. Just a few short months after the Real Housewives of New Jersey table-flipping cookbook maven was released from prison, her husband Juicy Joe has started his forty-one month sentence for bankruptcy fraud and that pesky driver’s license debacle.
Just as with Teresa’s jail stint, the family has remained upbeat about Joe’s time away, almost pretending like it’s not a real thing. The couple has been spending time together in the same manner they have for years–fighting off rumors of infidelity and pregnancies as their daughters run rampant around their nouveau riche castle.

Earlier this week, Joe took up residence at Fort Dix. His attorney released a statement to People, asserting, “Joe Giudice surrendered himself to the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix today at 12 p.m. to begin serving his sentence.”
He continues, “His brother, his sister and several other members of the Giudice family, as well as myself, were present when he turned himself in to the prison, including Teresa. It was obviously a very emotional day, but this is a very strong family with a tremendous support system and they will get through this, just as they did when Teresa was away.”
We all know that Teresa spent her eleven months doing yoga, writing a bestseller, and palling around with her cellmates, but what is in store for Joe? Speaking to Us Weekly, a former Fort Dix employee gives some insight into Joe’s life behind bars. He notes that Joe will be allowed $300 a month to spend at weekly commissary visits for items like deodorant and gym shorts.
RELATED: Why We’ll Miss Joe Giudice on Real Housewives of New Jersey
The insider shares, “If he’s not in the camp, he’ll be assigned to a low- to medium-security housing unit, where there are 12 to 18 inmates in a room.,” adding, “Joe won’t be watched if he goes to the bathroom or showers [if this is where he is housed].”
While Joe will likely miss his wife’s home cooked meals, the retiree notes, “The food isn’t bad–a lot of chicken, vegetables, a salad bar and even some desserts, depending on the day of the week.”
Joe will be allowed to see his family during monitored visits as well as keep in touch via the phone. The source explains, “He has 300 minutes of phone time per month and has to pay by the minute. He will also have access to rudimentary email…but can’t go on the internet.”
In a separate statement to the site, Joe’s attorney reveals, “It was obviously a very emotional day, but this is a very strong family with a tremendous support system, and they will get through this, just as they did when Teresa was away.”
Stay Juicy, Joe.

Hot Photos Friday – Kenya Moore, Bethenny Frankel, Heather Dubrow, NeNe Leakes And More
TGIF! It’s hot photo Friday! Let’s see what our favorite reality TV stars have been up to! The Real Housewives of Orange County stars Terry and Heather Dubrow took a break from overseeing the building of their mansion and were spotted having a good time (?) together at a Lakers game in L.A.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Kenya Moore, NeNe Leakes, Cynthia Bailey and Kandi Burruss were all photographed at events this week. Kenya was in Miami to attend the TREND Group and Granite Transformations global rebranding and “Immense” product collection launch event at Temple House. Cynthia Bailey was seen at the Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival with Married to Medicine stars Dr. Heavenly Kimes and Lisa Nicole Cloud in Miami. NeNe Leakes and husband Gregg were in Vegas for the fourth annual “One Night for ONE DROP” imagined by Cirque du Soleil, a show that raises awareness and funds for critical water issues worldwide.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Kathryn Edwards Dissects The Women’s Dynamic And The Start Of Dubai Drama
I’ve got to give it to one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbies. Can Kathryn Edwards blog or can Kathryn Edwards blog? While her entries may be a bit verbose (so I love them, but I’ve cut some content), Kathryn maneuvers the Internet like a professional. She may not always make the best impressions while filming, but Kathryn is thoughtful and calculated enough to express herself in her Bravo blogs in a manner that makes her appear both sincere and balanced. Who’s taking sides? Not Kathryn! At least, not really…girlfriend should teach a class. Co-star Eileen Davidson could benefit…
She rehashes this week’s episode with panache. Starting with a slew of compliments for Yolanda Foster (K-Ed knows never to kick a RHOBH star when they’re down), Kathryn writes, “I hope this time of year finds everyone well…I love spring as everything turns green and begins to bloom again. Last week you saw a few of us ladies (Yolanda, Kyle [Richards], Erika [Girardi] and I) head to New York to attend Yolanda’s Global Lyme Alliance gala. Well tonight you got to see the event and hear some of the honorees speak of their battle with Lyme. I was so appreciative to be invited and attend this event for a few reasons–namely, to support Yolanda in her battle against this very debilitating disease while trying to bring awareness to it and help others.”

Distancing herself from anything that could be considered smack talk, Kathryn makes a veteran move. She blames editing! Way to go, sister! Kathryn recalls, “Listening to the other honorees talk about their experiences and hearing similar words from all of them had a resonating feeling. It must be incredibly frustrating to feel so ill and not have people believe you or question your integrity. As if it’s not enough to wonder when you’ll ever feel normal again, but then to have your family, friends and loved ones look at you as if you are doing this to garner sympathy…that’s a big accusation, one that I would never feel comfortable to make.”
She continues, “I have never doubted Yolanda’s illness, I have been very vocal about that, whether you saw it on the show or not. I was not bothered by her lack of makeup and the way she presented herself at any time. When we were sitting at the table Kyle, Erika and I were talking about the comments that were made on Yolanda’s appearance. Kyle said that she felt horrible about it and then there was a subtitle of me saying ‘that [Lisa] Vanderpump and [Lisa] Rinna did it too.’ This is about comments made on Yolanda’s lack of makeup, not about Munchhausen’s. No one thinks Yolanda has Munchausen’s. This was a term that Rinna repeated, much to her regret, but let me be clear…Kyle nor Lisa VDP ever said that Yolanda has or had Munchausen’s.”
Tackling that too-amazing-for-words trip and accommodations, Kathryn warns, “This next topic might get a bit lengthy but it was very memorable so I apologize in advance if I get a little long winded. Dubai! First, I have to say that Delta Airlines took very good care of us. We arrived at LAX and went through Delta One check-in…it’s a a seamless entrance to a long flight, and it’s a treat if you ever get a chance to fly first through Los Angeles. Once we arrived in Atlanta we were whisked away from the plane to the Delta lounge by private car…this was a first for me. Loved it! Atlanta is a huge airport and the distance from one gate to another can be a half marathon, so this was a welcome luxury. The flight was smooth and we landed ready for an adventure.”
Kathryn gushes, “This was my first time to Dubai, and I was up for everything. When we finally made it to our destination and pulled in to The Atlantis, The Palm hotel, I was thrilled. The sights, the sounds, the smells, the taste…everything made me feel as if I was half-way around the world, and I loved it! Our suites were out of this world beautiful! We were treated like royalty. Everyone was assigned a concierge who was available to us 24/7, and it was nothing short of perfect. I was happy to share a suite with Erika, because I felt like we finally got over all of the drama while we were in New York and now could finally laugh and enjoy ourselves.” Hey, Kathryn…I know it’s semantics, but you technically were “half-way around the world.”
She adds, “Walking into Kyle and Lisa VDP’s suite was like walking into something you could only ever dream about but never expect to see. A-mazing! I wish I would have worn one of the kaftans I brought but thankfully Kyle gave all of us ladies a beautiful one, and I couldn’t wait to put it on and really feel in the moment. The conversation started off so nice and light hearted but it quickly turned, and I wish it wouldn’t have. It seems as though all of the re-hashing of feelings and moments is what we do best…I really hoped this wasn’t the case,” lamenting, “As I sat there listening to Lisa Rinna talk about her feelings toward Yolanda, I thought that it must be tied to her dislike for Kim [Richards] and Brandi [Glanville] and that Rinna’s distaste for those two bleeds into her views of Yolanda. I don’t know…I just want to have fun…and then Rinna brings up the dinner at Erika’s and asks her how she felt. Really? On our first night when everything is going so great? Why?”
The newbie concludes, “I was happy that Lisa VDP said that she knows that Erika didn’t mean it ‘mean spirited’ because it seemed to squelch the topic and we could all resume a celebratory night and at least toast friendship for a little while. It seems as though mountains are made out of mole hills and unless something is exposed and turned into a devious plan to undermine someone, in a way it was never intended, then some people in this group aren’t happy. Note to self: When trying to choose words carefully so as not to incite new riots, do not use the word ‘like’…just give a bored look and wait for a new victim, I mean subject. As always, ending on a positive note I’ll say this: We live in a world of so many cultures and beliefs and being able to travel shows us how small our personal life is in the big picture, but the one great truth, that is universal to all people, everywhere, is love and kindness.”
Kathryn, you are spot on with your observations, but please, for the love of all things RHOBH, please stop referring to Lisa Vanderpump as VDP. Thank you.
