REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA GETS TWO NEW CAST MEMBERS!

Make way, Kim and NeNe – there's some new gals on the block.
Cynthia Bailey and Phaedra Parks are joining the cast of Bravo's hit TV show, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," the network announced Thursday.

While Lisa Wu Hartwell has been booted from the show, the new additions promise to keep the show scandalous, reports People.com.

First, there's Cynthia Bailey, an Alabama-born model who once strutted her stuff on Paris and Milan runways. This mother of one struggles to keep it together with her boyfriend of three years, Peter Thomas. At least she's got her close friend, NeNe Leakes, to lean on as they both try to patch up unraveling relationships.

Then there's Phaedra Parks, entertainment attorney and self-proclaimed "Southern Belle." While Phaedra's got a dynamic personality and a baby on the way, her younger, ex-convict husband, Apollo, might upstage her.

Meanwhile, the show's other ladies try out new jobs. NeNe Leakes works as an entertainment reporter for a local news station, while both Kandi Burruss and Kim Zolciak pursue music projects. Sheree Whitfield has apparently given up her dreams of fashion design and is now exploring a passion for theatre.

Don't worry - you won't have to wait much longer for the drama to start. The third season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" premieres Oct. 4.
