April Love, a local PR rep for Lisa Wu Hartwell, confirmed to me that both attorney Phaedra Parks and model Cynthia Bailey (left) are now new castmates on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” which began shooting its third season this month.
I reported the rumor about Bailey being in the running in February.
Love doesn’t know about how Bravo will deal with seven housewives and how they are going to pare the cast down to something more manageable during the season.
If anything, it’s smart for Bravo to shake things up and shift the dynamics, which were starting to get a wee bit tiresome toward the end of season two.
The four original housewives (Kandi Burruss came on year two) have three-season contracts. It’ll be interesting who will stick around for a fourth season – if there is one.
This comes after the news that "Real Housewives of New York" would be adding two new members this season as well. Bad idea in my opinion. Bravo risks overindulgency with all these cast members and then too who wants to follow 7 different women in an hour-long episode? The only show that needs a new member is "New Jersey", just to spice it up a bit as the 4 vs. 1 (Danielle vs. the world) drama just seems like it'll get played out soon enough. 6 should be the limit on each show as it gives each women a fair amount of time.
