“Housewives” celebrate at baby shower

Several cast members from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” got together over the weekend to celebrate new member Phaedra Parks’ new baby, due in July.

We hear the fete, was held at the Park Tavern, which was festively decorated in blue and white (Parks and her husband are expecting a boy).

Parks “looked like a goddess,” one attendee told us, and indeed a photo posted from the event shows a radiant Parks in a glamorous, deep blue dress with white flowers in her hair.

The Bravo cameras were rolling, of course, so look for the celebration on an upcoming episode. Because the event was held on Sunday, the weekend of the Kentucky Derby, guests were encouraged to arrive in hats. Almost everyone did.

Kim (Zolciak) got there late, and wasn’t wearing a hat,” our source told us. But, the leggy blonde, a mom of two, apparently dispensed helpful parenting advice.

Other cast members, including Lisa Wu Hartwell, attended. NeNe Leakes did not. Stylist Dwight Eubanks hosted the shower, after all, and he and Leakes haven’t exactly been getting along lately.

However, lest you fear that Leakes was left out of all the fun this weekend, rest easy. She accompanied Bravo programming chief Andy Cohen to the Human Rights Campaign gala on Saturday night, where he was honored.

We’re thinking it’s a pretty safe bet that a future “Housewives” episode might feature that event, too.

More embarrassing RHOA! Why don’t they get real housewives of people actually from Atlanta? Perhaps some with some sense and manners?
