Real Housewife Lynne Curtin Behind on Rent, Facing Eviction

Another Real Housewife of Atlanta Loses Her House

TMZ is reporting today that unReal Housewife of outside Atlanta Lisa Wu Hartwell and her husband ex-football player Ed Hartwell lost their McMansion last week. They bought their generic home in Duluth, Georgia, in 2007 for $2.9M and the bank just sold it in a short sale for $1.9M. (Do any of the Atlanta Housewives actually live in Atlanta?)

Don't believe it's generic? These interior shots look like the kind of nondescript photos you see in homebuilders ads from earlier in this decade:

According to TMZ, the couple's representative says they have purchased a new home that sits on 10 acres elsewhere. At least they figured out that if you're going to live in a mansion, don't live in one that sits so close to its neighbors.

Don't believe it could be that close? Check out the backyard:

Sorry to see anyone lose their house to foreclosure. Let's hope their new home is a better fit for them . . . and more interesting than the last one!

Tacky Tuesday: Tour the Homes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta

For those who are interested -- and you know who you are! -- Bravo has posted videos of the houses of the unReal Housewives of Atlanta on its website. Go here to check them out. We can't bring ourselves to look.

Celebrity Homes in Foreclosure

CNN reports today that 1.53 million U.S. homes are in foreclosure so far this year. And we're only halfway through the year. Unfortunately, even celebrities aren't immune to these rough economic times.

According to the Journal News, Actor Stephen Baldwin and his wife, Kennya, are in default on their home (pictured above) in Upper Grandview, NY. They owe more than $800,000 on a house that only cost them $515,000.

At first we thought only somebody like Stephen could let that happen to him, especially since we aren't talking about a terribly expensive house. And we suppose this could happen to anyone. But what we can't understand is, why his brother Alec (who is reportedly house-shopping in NYC) and the rest of the Baldwin clan can't help him out. Anyway, more details here.

Other celebrity homes in foreclosure include those belonging to Bravo's unReal Housewives of Atlanta and Orange County.

Nevermind that none of the Real Housewives of Atlanta really lived in Atlanta. They still faced the real issue of wannabes pretending to be high-rollers. Sheree Whitfield's ginormous home in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs, GA, reportedly went into foreclosure in February, eventually selling via auction for $1.1 million.

We might as well mention that the trashy Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes lost her digs too earlier this year, but she was just a renter anyway. That was just more proof of her wannabe status.

Finally, Real Housewife Jeana Keough of Orange County -- another wannabe and a freakin' realtor -- also fell behind on her ostentatious home and various rental properties, but at least she was smart enough to seek a loan modification and put her home up for sale. For more details and photos of her less-than-stellar interiors, go here.

Looks like REALITY is the New Reality TV. Good luck to all of them in finding new digs.
