I almost missed my homie Melanie Fiona who came to the ATL for just one night for a private Lexus listening session… The event was off the chain, and I definitely want to give big props to Lexus for giving the public a free live concert with artist who really have talent… The event honored [Universal Records executive] Sylvia Rome… Also at the event was Joe, Mika Means and Derek Blanks.

Melanie Fiona talked to the homie Ryan Cameron and let the world know that she will be going on tour with Alicia Keys after being asked by Alicia… I can’t wait, hope I get to go Mel … Hint Hint … LOL

Here are all the pic’s…

I know yall are wondering why is Derek Blanks always doing all of these Alter Ego’s? Derek is getting ready to put out a book that shows all of his work… He’s got so many that yall haven’t even seen yet… I will tell yall more about the book when it is about to come out. Here are some of the pic’s..

Just like many other celebrities, former Destiny Child member, now solo star and theatre star, Michelle Williams has joind them too! Michelle Williams was in the Atl to shoot her alter ego photoshoot with famed celeb photographer Derek Blanks. Here are the photos, enjoy!

Episode 6 The Rundown

RHOA ‘Alter Ego photo shoot’ opens with the show’s breakout star Nene entering a salon where she meets Sheree and Kandi for a little pamper me/chat time. Minx nails is the service of choice for all three ladies. Sheree is quick to let us know she was one of the first to wear Minx nails in Atlanta after hearing that both Beyonce and Rihanna are Minx nail fans. (Click link above to learn more about Minx nails.)

When Kandi arrives, Nene asks Kandi (playing around) if she will be grooming her “coochie hair”. A little TMI when Sheree reveals that she is completely hairless below or as Nene poignantly puts it “she’s bald-headed”.

Nene informs the girls about the alter ego photo shoot she set up with celebrity photographer, Derek Blanks and how it is the hottest thing now.  Nene’s OC: “Derek Blanks did alter ego photo shoots for Diddy, Jennifer Hudson, Pharrell, and Ciara”. Both ladies look happy to hear about the shoot. But then, Nene adds that she will be both director and stylist for the shoot. Now, the once looks of happiness have turned to worried glances. However, this is a great idea that Nene has i.e. to have the girls become their rumored personalities.

Nene reveals she will be both a stripper and the guy watching the stripper.

Nene tells Sheree that she wants Sheree breaking into an ATM for 7 figures while dressed in a prison costume. Clearly a reference to Sheree Whitfield’s divorce settlement from ex-husband ex-NFL player Bob Whitfield. Sheree’s face is less than enthused and a bit skeptical. Sheree’s OC moment: “I don’t feel like I robbed the bank. If I did, sh&$ where is the money.”  Sheree only accepts NeNe’s idea after learning that can be a sexy robber. Details on Sheree’s divorce settlement from Bob Whitfield here.

Nene tells Kandi she was going to make Kandi both the bride and groom (being that Kandi is engaged) but then on second thought, Nene realized that having Kandi be “hood” makes more sense. No matter what a person says, you have to hand it to Nene because whether Nene says it as an OC moment or with the other girls, Nene will definitely voice her opinion to the person’s face. After Kandi laughs the hood remark off, Nene actually tells Kandi “You are ghetto”.  But what is funnier here is how Kandi actually comes across in her OC moment with ”Nene, had the nerve to say I was ghetto. If you ask me, she’s ghettoist oneofus all” [sic]. (Kandi slurred the one of us all together so much that it sounded like one word so it is written that way on purpose.) In reference to Nene, Kandi goes on to say ”If I’m ghetto, she [sic] ghetto”. Kandi laughs Nene’s comments off with her own comment about Nene bringing ghetto wherever Nene goes.  Quickly, Nene lets everyone know she would definitely tell you if she was from the hood, but she’s from Athens (Georgia). She goes on to say that Athens is definitely not the projects.

Next, Kim becomes the topic of conversation. Kandi tells the girls she will be producing Kim’s “Tardy for the Party”. Kandi suggests to Nene that they go out to her car and listen to the song again. Nene and Kandi sit in Kandi’s car while they discuss what they will do with Kim’s possible breakout hit. Remember Kim told Kandi that she wanted both she and Nene as artists on “Tardy for the Party”. Kandi finds out that neither Nene nor Kim have recording experience. Kandi looks scared to have her name attached to an amateur project while Nene looks confident she can pull it off. Nene’s OC moment: ”I’m not telling the world I’m a singer, what I’m telling the world is that I can sing better than Kim”. Kim’s final recording of “Tardy for the Party” heard on Ryan Seacrest below.
