Actress Kim Fields Officially Joins 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'

People.com:

When NeNe Leakes said goodbye to the Real Housewives of Atlanta last year, the reality TV veteran left some big shoes to fill, but former Facts of Life star Kim Fields is ready to step into the spotlight.

"This is Hollywood royalty right here girl," Kenya Moore says to Fields in the trailer for season 8.

Fields joins Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burress, Kenya Moore, Phaedra Parks, Sheree Whitfield, and Porsha Williams in Bravo's hit series, which returns Nov. 8.

While there's never any shortage of drama when it comes to the Housewives, the latest season promises even more dramatic ups and downs as cameras capture Burress' pregnancy, Bailey's marriage troubles with husband Peter and Park's new life as a single mom since ex-husband Apollo went to jail for fraud. 

And as far as Porsha Williams is concerned there’s only one thing on her mind.

"I want a baby," she says. "All I need is sperm to get inside of me."

Real Housewives of Atlanta returns Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
