In case you didn’t already know … Kim Zolciak from the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” has her own reality show now called “Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding,” which follows Zolciak as she prepares for her November 2011 wedding to NFL player Kroy Biermann.

On the episode that aired this week, Kim decided to surprise her then fiance (now husband) with a “sexy” (?) wedding gift … which turned out to be a topless photoshoot where the 34-year-old reality star stripped down to her waist, and had her entire upper-body painted to look like Biermann’s #71 Atlanta Falcons football jersey.

“To me that is sexy,” Kim said, explaining her reasoning for the body paint.

Watch the clip below:

What do you think about Kim Zolciak’s “sexy” wedding gift?

She just had a baby less than a year ago, but Kim Zolciak, who stars in Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality series, is pregnant once again.

Zolciak and her husband Kroy Biermann, who plays for the Atlanta Falcons, confirmed the news to Life & Style Magazine on Tuesday (Mar 20).

“Kroy and I are so excited,” Kim told Life & Style. “To decide we wanted to get pregnant again and have it happen so quickly was such a blessing.”

According to Life & Style, Kim is about four months along, and she proudly shows off her growing baby bump inside the pages of the magazine, which is on newsstands now.

Kim and Kroy welcomed their first child together, a son they named Kroy Jagger Jr., last May. They wed in a lavish ceremony a few months later on November 11th 2011.

By herself, Kim also has two older daughters — 15-year-old Brielle and 9-year-old Ariana — from a previous marriage.

What do you think about Kim Zolciak being pregnant AGAIN … less than a year after giving birth?

Lil Wayne and Toya threw their daughter Reginae a huge Cinderella-themed party to celebrate her 13th birthday over the weekend.

The lavish affair was hosted at the private Callenwolde Mansion in Atlanta Saturday night, and all of Reginae’s close friends and extended family all came out to help her celebrate her big day.

In addition to her famous parents and her step-dad Memphitz, the celebrity guest list for Reginae’s birthday party included Birdman, T.I. and Tiny, and Phaedra Parks and Kim Zolciak from the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

The ladies of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (minus Kim and Sheree) show up on the cover of the November 14th issue of JET Magazine, where the women dish on how they really feel about each other:

JET asked the ladies to give their takes on all their other castmates.

So Sheree said about NeNe, “I wouldn’t trust her as far as I can throw her.”

Kandi applauded NeNe saying, “She’s a hustler….She’s about getting paper. She’s always got something in the works.” But kept it real about Kim saying, “She’s the type of person who knows how to play dumb when she wants to but really knows what’s going on…”

Kim stayed mum about her frenemy NeNe saying, “It is what it is…” and revealed that she finally stopped smoking once she got pregnant again.

Phaedra said about Kandi, “She’s a brilliant businesswoman. She reminds me a lot of myself, and I just love her.” Of course she does Phaedra….

Cynthia said about Kim, “We definitely had some tiffs, but only about trivial things. But on the show it ends up looking like big things.”

NeNe revealed she has a wine coming out and she’s now a restauranteur–after opening her Famiglia franchise. And she had some ish to say about her castmates. About Kandi she said, “She’s real, she’s down to earth. But Kandi is not easy to get to know. I actually find her kind of mean.”

About Sheree she says, “Sheree is very mean spirited. I think Sheree thinks she’s everything. She’s got a bad attitude.”

And about Phaedra, NeNe commented, “I almost feel like she was that girl at home looking at the tv going, ‘Let me on that show!’ I call her Fake-dra.”

The upcoming 4th season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Premieres this coming Monday, November 7th!

Watch a sneak peak clip below:

They’re baaaaaaaaack!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta will premiere their upcoming 4th season in a little over a month, and Bravo has released a sneak peek trailer to let us know what to expect from Nene, Kim, Sheree, Cynthia, Kandi and Phaedra this time around.

In the new season, Kim is pregnant, madly in love and building a home with Kroy, while her estranged friend NeNe is on the verge of divorcing her husband Greg.

Kandi, Phaedra and Cynthia are exploring their prowess as entrepreneurs (Kandi with sex toys, Phaedra with funeral homes and Cynthia with modeling school), and Sheree is trying to build a dream house, however the pieces aren’t coming together smoothly for her.

Look below for more details on and pics of each cast member and for the official trailer for Season 9 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta!

• NeNe Leakes – This season, NeNe and Gregg have officially separated. Though Gregg no longer lives with NeNe and the boys, they have a complex relationship. NeNe struggles with her decision on whether or not to sign the divorce papers and truly move on from their 15-year relationship. Since her experience on Celebrity Apprentice, NeNe has realized she has a knack for business and uses one of her Trump connections to pursue an entrepreneurial endeavor.
• Kim Zolciak – As her psychic predicted, Kim’s life has changed dramatically for the better. Kroy adores Kim, her daughters and is a loving father to baby KJ. Though they have established a new life together, Kroy has to return to the NFL, leaving Kim to get their new house in order and tend to three children. To add to her juggling act, Kim is pursuing a country music career without the help of Kandi.
• Sheree Whitfield –Sheree has recently moved out of her home and is building a fabulous new house for her family in the same upscale neighborhood. Frustrated with her ex-husband for not paying the 4 years of child support he owes, Sheree takes action against him with legal help from her friend and fellow Housewife, lawyer Phaedra Parks.
• Kandi Burruss – After a year spent recording and touring to support her solo album, Kandi has shifted her focus to a new endeavor: an intimate luxury line. She’s also switching gears with music and focusing on writing country hits for a popular artist.. While she has yet to find Mr. Right, Kandi is spending more time than ever with Mama Joyce. Ever the mediator, she remains close with the other Housewives.
• Phaedra Parks – With baby Ayden growing up so quickly, Phaedra is realizing her parenting style is different than expected. Once a firm believer in “spanking” a child, she has become a doting mom who tends to annoy Apollo by babying their son. Phaedra continues to work hard at the law firm and has begun her next business venture: a family-run funeral home. Her only hurdle before becoming a certified mortician: convincing Apollo of the benefits of this new undertaking.
• Cynthia Bailey – At 44 years old, Cynthia is still a working model and is using her decades of experience to help the next generation. By opening The Bailey Agency School of Fashion, Cynthia seeks to teach Atlanta’s most promising girls about the industry. Her marriage to Peter is barely one-year along, but the shadow of the marriage-certificate wedding debacle still hangs over the Bailey-Thomas household. Cynthia’s sister Malorie and Peter still haven’t addressed her attempted wedding sabotage and Cynthia finds herself in an uncomfortable position between her husband and her sister.

NeNe Leakes is known to stir up controvery on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and cast member Kim Zolciak‘s personal assistant Sweetie has had enough of it. After Leakes referred to Sweetie as Kim’s slave on an episode of “Housewives,” Atlanta radio host Ricky Smiley launched the “Free Sweetie” campaign, which Sweetie says is ruining her life.

“They’re doing it for Black History Month, and it offends me,” Sweetie tells Life & Style. “They have pastors calling into the radio station and praying for me. They’ve taken it too far. NeNe’s jealous that she’s not as close to Kim as I am. I’ve known Kim for 11 years, since I was a kid. Kim’s a great friend to me. NeNe’s traumatizing my life. She’s bringing hell to it.”

Kim Zolciak, who is expecting a child in the summer with her boyfriend, Atlanta falcons player Kroy Biermann, says this is the last straw and she’s done with NeNe.

“I never want to speak to NeNe again. My assistant Sweetie is so upset about the whole thing, she’s beside herself,” Kim tells Life & Style. “NeNe has problems.”

Yes she does. But you’ve gotta admit, NeNe is a funny character!!

Your thoughts?

R&B singer/reality star Kandi Burruss hosted a promotional event in Atlanta Monday night (Apr 19) to celebrate the upcoming debut of the third season of Bravo’s hit reality show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” The homie FreddyO was on the scene for the event, which featured a live concert from Kandi and he snapped some pics of her, Nene Leakes, Sheree Whitfield, Lisa Wu Hartwell, Kim Zolciak and more of her friends/cast mates as they enjoyed the evening.

Kandi, a former member of the group Xscape, is said to be working on her forthcoming second solo studio album B.L.O.G., due for release later this year. Meanwhile, you can catch her on the upcoming third season Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

There has been all kinds of chatter surrounding ATL Housewife Kim Zolciak and her rumored new-found lesbian relationship with a DJ named Tracy Young, and up until now, she’s pretty much denied every bit of it. The reality star recently sat down with Life & Style Magazine and basically came clean about her relationship with Tracy.

L&S: Was there chemistry the first time you and Tracy met?
Kim: Well, we were both going through heartbreak at the time. I had split up with Big Poppa, and she had just ended a relationship she had been in for three years. The first night we met, we just connected on a different level. We ended up talking for two hours. After that, we started working in the studio together, remixing “Tardy for the Party.” We gradually became closer.

L&S: Can you pinpoint the moment when things became romantic?
Kim: There were sparks, but [physically] it was a gradual situation. Tracy made the first move. Our first kiss was passionate and exciting.

L&S: Were you ever tempted to deny your relationship with Tracy?
Kim: No. I’ve never denied anything. I don’t lie. I’m not embarrassed by anything I’ve ever done in my life. But I wasn’t ready to discuss it when the story broke. I hadn’t even had the chance to talk to my family about it. It was so unfair.

L&S: Do you feel you’re giving a voice to other bisexual parents?
Kim: I’m among the millions of parents who have been in a gay or lesbian relationship. It hasn’t been an easy road lately, but I feel there are no mistakes in my life. Everything happens for a reason. To have the opportunity to speak for myself and to have people understand what I’m going through is really special. I myself was confused and scared at first. Being able to speak from my heart and get this all out, it’s a huge relief for me.

All we can say is… wow! Let’s keep her kids in our prayers. Those poor children are going to grow up all confused now. They watched their mom go from being a rich man’s mistress to a bi-sexual/lesbian. We wonder how this relationship will play out on the next season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Word on the sidewalk is that R&B singers Keri Hilson and Kandi Burruss had Twitter and Ustream on lock as they broadcast live to about 41,000 people via the Aphiliates studio in Atlanta. And as usual, FreddyO was on the scene snapping away as the ladies recorded tracks for a mixtape set to be released later this year.

Wyclef Jean, Kim Zolciak (from the Real Housewives of Atlanta), DJ Drama and Rasheeda also fell through to join in on the fun. Kim even brought along her new girlfriend “Annie.”

With over 41,000 people watching them live on twitter the talked about everything thing their fans wanted to know… The night got even crazier when Wyclef walked in fresh off a plane to record some hits.

TV personality (and wannabe singer) Kim Zolciak performed Thursday night (Dec 10) at Splash Bar in New York City. Bravo Sr. Vice President of Programmy Andy Cohen was also at the event. Kim is a castmember of the hit Bravo series “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Between her performances of “Tardy for the Party,” (yes, she performed it twice…) Kim, who recently kicked her rich boyfriend “Big Papa” to the curb, announced that she was with someone and led people on to believe that it was a woman. Sources at the party say a woman, who might be Kim’s girlfriend, was with Kim that night and she introduced herself as Annie. The two supposedly were giggling and cuddling backstage.

In related news, it seems like both Kim AND NeNe Leakes from the Real Housewives of Atlanta are being replaced in the next season! Word on the sidewalk is that they’re both wanting more money and the producers are tired of their demands, so the network is quietly making moves to get rid of them. Continue reading for more on that!

“Things with NeNe and Kim have been intense,” a source told the The New York Daily News, “but Bravo feels the show is about the franchise as a whole and won’t let one person stop it. Bravo has been taking meetings with some notable and wealthy Atlanta women about possibly joining the show,” says the insider. “They’re trying their best to keep the process under wraps, but they’re gearing up to make a major move in the third season.”

One person you don’t have to worry about joining the ATL cast of the Housewives franchise is Usher’s ex wife Tameka Foster Raymond. All of the current cast members were very adamant about not allowing her a spot on their show, threatening to walk if she were cast.

“Tameka isn’t very popular in Atlanta,” says the source, who reveals that the 39-year-old was initially in the running. “The producers asked each one of the women how they would feel if she were cast, and they all said that they’d walk. That’s the one thing they’ve been united about.”

Fan favorites Kandi Burruss and Sheree Whitfield will most likely return for the upcoming third season of the show. Nothing is confirmed though, but the network feels strongly about the two women and the only thing that would prevent them from coming back would be a personal decision on the women themselves.

“Kandi was a fan favorite last season. Her audience approval ratings were through the roof,” the insider explains. “And Sheree’s clothing line [She by Sheree] and her catch phrase, ‘Who gonna check me, boo?’ were definite standouts.”

And Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu Hartwell and Kandi Burruss from BRAVO’s Real Housewives of Atlanta hosted a Halloween party in the ATL Saturday night (Oct 31).

She also touched on her relationship with the guy we all know as “Big Papa” on the show. He had supposedly proposed to her and gave her this big, huge expensive rock for her birthday, but now she’s saying that she’s called off the engagement because she’s ready to commit and he led her to believe that he was, even though he clearly wasn’t.

ESSENCE.COM: So what’s the scoop? Are you or aren’t you still engaged to Big Papa?
ZOLCIAK: I am not engaged to Big Papa! I got a commitment ring last year and so when I got this new ring, I was led to believe that his divorce was final. Who gives someone a massive rock and makes this commitment if he wasn’t serious? I found out that I was still on the same merry-go-round. If there is one thing I have discovered about myself from doing this show it is that I’m just far too trusting. I’m actually dating someone new and I’m extremely happy. He’s my age, from California and cute as a button. I gave Papa almost four years of my life, so now I’m just trying to move on.

ESSENCE.COM: What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from that experience?
ZOLCIAK: I need to learn not to take everything at face value. I believe everything that people tell me. I wanted to believe that he was going through the steps for us to be together. I’m not a home wrecker because my husband did it to me. I would never intentionally do that to someone. I was planning my future and so excited because he was the love of my life. But as time went on, I started to wonder, why is this taking so long? I realized that I needed to really sit down and figure this out.

ESSENCE.COM: Have you ever had any interaction with his wife?
ZOLCIAK: Never, but she knew. At the end of the day, I want someone who has the same moral values that I do. The harsh reality is when you look at your relationship after so many years and it’s not what you thought, it’s very devastating. But you know what, I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time.

ESSENCE.COM: So there’s no chance you two will reconcile?
ZOLCIAK: I will never go back. When I’m done, I’m done. I have no desire to have anything further with him.

The ladies of the Real Housewives of Atlanta were given the opportunity to do their own individual alter ego photo shoots by one of ATL’s hottest photographers Derek Blanks, and the photos were revealed on last night’s episode of the Bravo reality series. The idea for everyone’s concepts came straight from NeNe who did a damn good job of matching everyone up with the right personalities.

Kim‘s alter ego was a housewife and a mistress, which is a perfect fit for her since she really is messing around with someone else’s husband in real life (that Big Poppa dude). NeNe‘s alter ego as a Magic City stripper also matched up to her own real life experience, because she wrote about taking her clothes off and dancing for dollars in her new book, “Never Make the Same Mistake Twice.” Sheree‘s split personality involved a bank robber and an innocent bystander at an ATM because well, Sheree likes money.

Out of everyone’s shoot, Lisa‘s had to be the funniest and Kandi‘s was the saddest. Lisa was portrayed as a “gangsta boo” (NeNe’s words, not ours) slash “biker chick” who knocked a cute little girl scout off of her bicycle and tried to steal her cookies. And Kandi played a careless (and emotional) alcoholic who decided to drink and drive and ended up running into someone, which also hits home for her because her ex fiancee’s nephew ended up in intensive care for over a month earlier this year following a head on collision involving drunk driving.

In all, everyone’s shoots turned out great! The ladies definitely played their parts well and the camera showed a lot of love to them

The Real (Messy) Housewives of Atlanta hit up the Ellen show Wednesday to promote their Bravo reality series and do what they do mess: bring drama to television. This time around Sheree Whitfield and Kim Zolciak got into it after Ellen brought up Sheree pulling Kim’s wig. The two of them went back and forth about bounced checks, habitual lying, messing with married men, prostituting and all kinds of crazy junk. Ellen even got up out of her seat to sit between those two and suggested a game of “blindfolded musical chairs” before it got out of hand LMAO!

These heffas bring drama with them wherever they go and that damn Kim is always the common denominator! Continue reading for the video…

In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak of the Real Housewives of Atlanta got into it. But that’s a common occurrence with those two, so that’s not why we’re posting this video. We’re posting this simply for this final line NeNe said after Kim repeatedly accused her of choking her outside of a Target back in April:

“Why you wanna bring this up and it happened in April? Take me to court ’cause you know we’re gonna sit in jail together baby! With wigs and Newports … that’s what we’re gonna do.”

We heart NeNe so much! Don’t you think she deserves her own show? Catch the Real Housewives of Atlanta Thursday nights at 10 PM on Bravo.

Before we get to the drama surrounding the Atlanta Housewives, let’s start you off with the stats from last week’s season 2 premiere! The Season 2 premiere of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reality TV show drew in a record setting 2.7 million viewers, the most for any “Real Housewives” debut. In comparison, the New York Housewives’ Season 2 premiere brought home 1.6 million viewers, while the second season premiere of the Orange County Housewives opened at 1.1 million viewers.

Due to the popularity and anticipation for the show’s premiere, Bravo aired it twice, with the actual premiere at 10 p.m. and the re-run airing an hour later at 11 p.m. In total, over 4 million people tuned in to watch the show! Why is this such a big deal, you ask? Well, last season’s premiere only saw 656,000 viewers, though 2.8 million people caught the finale at the end of the season.

Be sure to catch episode 2 when it airs Thursday night (Aug 6) at 10 p.m. on Bravo. And continue reading for more news/drama on the RHOA!

KIM SAYS NENE CHOKED HER OUT!

Kim Zolciak, one of the Atlanta Housewives is pressing charges against fellow housewife NeNe Leakes for allegedly choking her! In a police report filed earlier this year in April, Kim claims that NeNe grabbed her neck and “tried to choke her out” at the end of an argument on April 15th.

NeNe allegedly strangled Kimberly during a heated exchange. The incident report obtained by ET states that Kim was going to shoot a scene for “Real Housewives of Atlanta” and got into an argument with NeNe. While they were fighting, NeNe started to point her fingers in Kim’s face. The report claims that when witnesses tried to break them up, NeNe “grabbed [Kim] by the neck and tried to choke her out.”

Kim then drove to the police station to file a report. Both witnesses collaborated her story. She has been advised to get a warrant for NeNe and take pictures of any bruises.

SOURCE: ET ONLINE

NeNe caught ghost by the time cops arrived at the scene and she hasn’t been arrested or charged with any crime, but a rep for Kim says the incident is still under investigation.

“Violence is a very serious issue, and we are not going to take this incident lightly,” the rep said. “Mrs. Leakes needs obvious therapy for her apparent anger management issues.”

Reps for Bravo and NeNe have yet to comment.

KANDI BURRUSS & FIANCE CALL WEDDING OFF!

If you caught the premiere of the Atlanta Housewives’ second season, you’ll know that Grammy award winning singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss of Xscape fame is currently engaged to a man who has six kids. But apparently, their wedding has been put on hold. In a new interview with E! Online, Kandi tells it all:

Will we see your wedding on camera?
No, uh-uh, it didn’t get that far. You will see us trying to plan, but you will see a lot of the problems and the different issues that are going on.

Have you set a date?
We haven’t set a date, and I’m just going to be real with you: We have been having serious issues. My drama has been ongoing since the taping has stopped. We just got engaged right before the taping of the show. So things that I would have to deal with or things I would have to learn about, I had to learn about and deal with it while the cameras were there, which makes things even more tense, you know what I mean?

Of course, but are you still together?
Um, we are dealing with things, but that’s about as far as I can go.

Hit up E! Online for the rest of the interview where she talks about her “feud” with NeNe Leakes and her thoughts on Kim’s “singing.”
