Kim Kardashian and NeNe Leakes are best buds now!

Or at least that’s what it seems like after the two reality stars were spotted enjoying a girl’s night out in Atlanta earlier this week.

According to Atlanta blogger/photographer FreddyO, Kim is in the A to film a guest spot on the Lifetime show “Drop Dead Diva,” and she and NeNe met up one night this week to have dinner at STK, a new upscale steakhouse in Midtown.

As you’d expect both were dressed to impress. NeNe was rocking her short blond ‘do and wore a black leather jacket and distressed jeans while Kim wore her tresses long and was sporting a pair of black Christian Louboutins.

NeNe wanted a sweet drink so the STK mixology department delivered the Strawberry Cobbler, a signature cocktail. Both ladies had the tuna tartare with salad and orders of the Shrimp Rice Krispies, another signature item (not actually made with Rice Krispies).

After dinner, NeNe tweeted that Kim Kardashian “is so sweet,” to which Kim replied, “I’m still laughing out loud! Too much fun!”

BET‘s popular comedy-drama TV series “The Game” is back!

As the #1 sitcom debut in the history of all cable TV, season 4 of The Game left viewers on the edge of their seats, and the seduction continues as infidelity, ambition, secrets and betrayal collide to make Season 5 the most compelling yet.

Picking up where it left off, the show’s 5th season features the entire principal cast, including Melanie (Tia Towry Hardrict), Derwin (Pooch Hall), Malik (Hosea Chanchez), Tasha (Wendy Raquel Robinson) and Jason (Coby Bell), as well as notable guest appearances from R&B singer Brandy and many others.

In this week’s episode, titled “Grand Opening, Grand Closing,” Jason’s ego takes a hit when Chardonnay rejects his proposal about hooking up after their upcoming annulment. Meanwhile, Derwin is shocked to find out Melanie is living the V.I.P. life at church.

In this week’s episode, titled “The Black People Episode,” just when you thought things were cool between Derwin and Malik, the drama on the field continues in the locker room. There’s still bad blood between Mel and Tasha, which spills out during planning for the Saber Sunbeam fashion show where Tasha recruits guest star NeNe Leakes, and Mel is not impressed.

Meanwhile, Jason and Chardonnay (Brandy) start to hit it off and she wants him to meet all of her friends. Jason is a bit hesitant at first, but he later warms up and converses with them about various racial issues.

Watch “The Game” Season 5, Episode 4 below:

As brand ambassador for Ciroc, you already know Diddy had to throw a huge New Year’s Eve Party to promote the world-famous Vodka brand.

The Hip-Hop mogul hosted one of many “Ciroc the New Year” parties held across the country on New Year’s Eve (Sat. Dec 31).

Held in Miami Beach, Florida, Diddy’s party featured many big name appearances from celebs who chose not to be photographed, like Ne-Yo, Rihanna, Queen Latifah, Rick Ross, Fat Joe and others.

The ones who did choose to take a few pictures were Vivica A. Fox, Star Jones, NeNe Leakes, Gayle King, Kim Porter, Evan Ross and Diddy’s mom Janis Combs.

People may hate on Nene Leakes…..but she obviously has what prime-time TV wants!

In addition to appearing on season 5 of BET’s “The Game” and the network’s new show “Let’s Stay Together” in the New Year…..Nene — aka the “I’m VERY Rich” girl — has landed herself another gig.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star announced yesterday on Twitter that she has a recurring role on the hit TV show “Glee.”

The secret is out! YES I hav a recurring role on GLEE! I’m coach Roz Washington the synchronized swim coach! So honored

— NeNe Leakes (@NeNeLeakes) December 20, 2011

Congrats Nene!

It’s no secret that Sheree Whitfield and NeNe Leakes from the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” have some serious beef with each other….especially if you’ve been keeping up with the latest season of the hit Bravo reality series.

Now Sheree has taken that beef to the next level with a new diss track entitled “Who Gon Beck Me Boo?,” based entirely from a phrase Whitfield made famous on the second season of RHOA, in which the reality TV star goes after her “frenemy” NeNe Leakes with various jabs.

Following in the footsteps of her castmate Kim Zolciak (“Tardy for the Party”), Sheree also released the song to iTunes, in hopes that maybe she can score herself a hit single. Kim didn’t with “Tardy for the Party” … but maybe Sheree can with “Who Gon Check Me Boo?”

Take a listen below:

Your thoughts on Sheree’s new song?

BET‘s top-rated scripted series “The Game” is set to return for a brand new season beginning Tuesday, January 10th 2012 at 10pm.

Via press release:

As the #1 sitcom debut in the history of all cable TV, season four of The Game left viewers on the edge of their seats.

The seduction continues as infidelity, ambition, secrets and betrayal collide to make season five the most compelling yet.

Picking up where it left off, Melanie (Tia Mowry Hardrict) contends with Derwin’s (Pooch Hall) abortion accusation; Malik (Hosea Chanchez) and Tasha (Wendy Raquel Robinson) struggle to wrangle an intoxicated Jenna (Tika Sumpter); and Kelly (Brittany Daniel) is still off in the world trying to find herself, leaving Jason (Coby Bell) forced to come to terms with his feelings towards Black women.

The new season also ushers in a new love interest for Jason, who is sure to shake things up!

BET also revealed that R&B singer Brandy will join the cast of “The Game” as a recurring character (Maybe she’s Jason new love interest?).

According to recent reports, viewers can also expect guest appearances from Selita Ebanks, NeNe Leakes, Estelle, Shawn Marion,  Rockmond Dunbar, DeRay Davis and the Emmy Award winning Loretta Devine, among others.

“The Game,” created by Mara Brock Akil (who also created the hit UPN series “Girlfriends”), was canceled by the CW due to low viewership after three seasons back in May 2009 when it was averaging only 2 million viewers.

BET picked the show up in 2010, and its subsequent Season 4 premiere in January 2011 drew 7.7 million viewers, making it the best showing ever for the series on cable broadcast, and BET’s most watched telecast.

With renewed interest in the show and a star-studded list of guest appearances, it will most definitely be interesting to see how many people watch the show when it premieres in January 2012.

Are you looking forward to the upcoming 5th season of The Game?

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.

Reality TV stars Jennifer Williams (“Basketball Wives”) and NeNe Leakes (“Real Housewives of Atlanta”) got into a very interesting conversation in the front row of the Sachika fashion show … and by the looks of it, didn’t invite TV persoality Julissa Bermudez (Left) to join them. Looked like a pretty funny convo though!

Miami Heat basketball star LeBron James hung out with designer Michael Bastain at his Spring 2012 fashion show Monday (Sep 12).

According to the recently released police report, Bryant was caught by Walmart security stealing two Gillette Mach3 razors that the store’s loss prevention employee Taija Aldridge valued at just $14 a piece.

Bryson is still listed as being in jail on the Gwinnett County inmate search website and currently has no bond due to his latest arrest violating the conditions of his probation.

“My day just got started off wrong! Damn,” Bryson’s mama, reality TV star NeNe Leakes from ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ tweeted yesterday.

No comment from Star Jones yet.

NeNe’s son Bryson just CANNOT stay out of trouble!

According to Gwinnett County police, Bryson Bryant — son of NeNe Leakes from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” — was arrested in Georgia yesterday and charged with shoplifting while trying to give himself the classic “5-finger discount” during a shopping trip.

Bryson, who has appeared on “Housewives” alongside his mother in the past, was arrested last year for marijuana possession and is currently on probation. Of course Bryson violated his probation by being arrested last night.

So far … no comment from mama NeNe!

UPDATE: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Bryson is accused of stealing two Mach 3 razors from Walmart, whose security caught him red-handed. The two razors are priced at $14 a piece.

Sidenote: Who steals from Walmart? Your mom is RICH! Get a life kid…

[TMZ]

All is still not well when it comes to NeNe Leakes’ feelings towards fellow “Celebrity Apprentice” nemesis Star Jones.

On a recent visit to LA, when NeNe was asked about Star, she said sternly: “F*ck Star Jones! She ain’t got no job. Her only job is being ugly.” (Ouch!)

We wonder if Star will snap back?

Season 4 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is due to hit TVs nationwide this fall.

Here is the second batch of green carpet photos from Sunday night’s (Jun 26) BET Awards.

Check out over 30+ pictures from the red carpet of the BET Awards below:

CLICK HERE FOR PART 1!

NeNe Leakes had us all glued to the TV today when she stopped by to chop-it-up with Wendy Williams on the talk show host’s couch. Never one to hold back on anything, NeNe talked about her new romance, her imminent divorce and her Celebrity Apprentice nemesis, Star Jones.

Concerning her divorce, Leakes told Williams that she is still in the process of divorcing her husband of 14 years, Greg Leakes. When Wendy asked about NeNe’s current love life, the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member got all shy and stayed unusually silent. But Wendy being Wendy dished that the man in NeNe’s life is well-off in the money department and much shorter that NeNe.

When touching on the subject of Star Jones, NeNe said that she felt that Star used the scaredy-cat card to get Donald Trump to side with her and that is why she ended up quitting the show. Oh and yes, she still despises Star!

Peep the footage from the sit-down below:

Donald Trump‘s “Celebrity Apprentice” took another dramatic turn last night when it was announced that controversial and outspoken reality star NeNe Leakes had quit the NBC reality TV show because she simply could no longer get along with her arch nemesis Star Jones.

During the episode, an obviously FURIOUS Leakes stormed off to her hotel and told Trump, “You can’t just accommodate her … that’s not fair”  later explaining: ”Mr. Trump bought into her bulls**t and i dont have to stay here and put up with BS to raise money for my charity. The best thing for me to do is just walk away.”

Later in the show, Trump added, ”The fact is she left … she quit, she gave up. To you, NeNe, I say, you’re fired. And you’re a quitter. And Star Jones kicked your ass whether you like it or not.

Ouch! Talk about a bumpy exit!

Earlier this week, “Real Housewives of Atlanta & Celebrity Apprentice” star Nene Leakes phoned into the Russ Parr Morning Show for what was supposed to be a pleasant call-in-interview. However what ended up transpiring was anything but pleasant once Nene became defensive when Russ Parr’s co-hosts Alfredas and Shaquanna began to suggest that she was nothing more than an on air bully and was only on reality TV because producers knew she would drive up ratings due to her drama fueled antics.

Here’s the play by play of the rather confrontational interview below :

Alfredas: “You seem like you are a bully.”

Nene: “I don’t know what you been watching because nobody has said that I seem like I’m the bully on “Celebrity Apprentice.” I know I’m not a bully and everybody has their opinions and that’s fine with me. You’re not on the show; I am. so you don’t know what goes on.”

Alfredas: “You’re being a bully now, I’m just asking you a simple question.”

Nene: “And I’m just answering your simple question.”

Alfredas: “I think that you’re on [Celebrity Apprentice] because of the role that was portrayed in the Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Nene: “I’m on the show because I’m very popular.”

Shaquanna: “Exactly, and you’re very popular because you try to over-talk people and sass them, and people like that, you know. Yeah you do. You over-talk and you get loud with people, and I think you do that to the right ones because people have been backing down from you and I think that’s why they say that you’re a bully.”

Nene: “Okay, so what’s your question?”

Russ Parr managed to calm things down a bit and get things back on track until later on in the interview, when he decided to ask Nene about her on-air nemesis Star Jones which set her COMPLETELY off:

Nene: “I also want to say this: It’s really hilarious how people like to pick the bad things out and they have nothing good to say, as in your co-host that’s on the radio with you, because I came on the show to interview and you’re just strictly talking about a bully. You haven’t said that I was positive at all.”

Shaquanna: “You know what? It’s not us, it’s the editors and how they portray you.”

Nene: “You see you need to say that to your listeners and also if you haven’t seen Star be manipulative, evil and conniving. She was calling me uneducated. She likes to pull the “I’m more educated than anyone” card all of the time. Just because you went to school for 10 years doesn’t mean you are smarter than me because we are on the same show getting the same check.”

“I don’t like people who like to put out bad information. That’s not cool to the listeners. I have a very big heart, I’m a very good person and there’s nobody you can talk to that has ever been around me that would tell you anything other than that. That is who I am and what you see on TV is TV.”

Shaquanna: Do you feel like you’re being attacked and that’s why you’re bullying people?

Nene: “Let me get you to understand I don’t bully anybody. I stand up for what I believe in and I’m very honest and I always tell the truth. I’m not a liar, I’m not manipulative and I don’t stab you in your back because I will stab you in your chest.”

For someone who can dish it out with no problem- – - Nene sure as hell is pretty bad at receiving it. SMH.

When “Celebrity Apprentice” star NeNe Leakes sat down with Ellen DeGeneres a while back,  the Atlanta native called fellow “Apprentice” contestant Star Jones “a disaster.”

And after the tumultuous blow-up which took place during Sunday night’s vicious spat between the contestants, Jones appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” – and took the opportunity to even the score.

“What were you thinking when NeNe was going off like that?” DeGeneres asks Jones in an episode airing Tuesday. “I was thinking my grandmother is going to watch this,” Jones says. “I was thinking I need to keep calm.”

She also couldn’t resist comparing her costar to a feral animal. “When you’re confronted in the wild with an un-caged animal you’re supposed to retreat,” Jones says. “You’re not supposed to attack.”

“No,” says DeGeneres, “with a bear you’re supposed to appear bigger. You’re supposed to get larger.”

“If you can tell me how to get bigger than that, I got money for you,” says Star.

Ellen also asked if a possible reconciliation was in the stars for the two reality divas:

“It looks like at the end of it you started making up, although you didn’t want to do it on camera,” she says. “How do you all get along now?”

To which a clearly strong willed Jones replied:

“I don’t know that girl and I don’t hang with people like that.”

Pretty safe to say assume these two won’t be becoming BFF’s anytime soon.

[PEOPLE]

After the most recent episode of Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” aired on Sunday, Star Jones can stay silent no longer.

In an interview with Rob Shuter from PopEater.com, Star goes at her co-star NeNe Leakes after she launched an attack on fellow contestant LaToya Jackson. NeNe said to sweet faced LaToya: “The only reason you’ve gotten this far is because of your last name.”

Star is holding no prisoners and explained to Shuter:

“You never get involved in a pig fight,” Star tells me. “If you do, three things happen: you get dirty, you get tired, and only the pig has fun. It diminishes me to talk about her. I have so many other things going on in my life. In my heart, I think ‘pray, don’t act crazy, your grandmother is watching, your sorority sisters are watching, you were raised better than this. I know that there are people that value my opinion. Plus, I’m not 20 minutes off the pole.”

Wow Star really unleashed the big guns! Pig fight? 20 minutes off the pole? #Harsh!

Despite already receiving liposuction on her thighs, hips and stomach, 41-year old reality diva Nene Leakes is still not happy with the way she looks and is determined to have an even leaner look.

According to RadarOnline:

“NeNe is determined to have a flatter tummy and she intends to have more liposuction done so she looks her very best this summer. Her friends are worried that she has become too obsessed with plastic surgery and have warned her about the dangers, but she just wants to be the best image of herself that she can be. She intends to have the procedure done sooner rather than later and at the moment she is hanging out in Miami with her friends Al Reynolds and Evelyn Lozado from the reality series Basketball Wives.” (Source)

Since becoming famous, the 6-foot tall reality star has had several procedures done including a nose job, breast reduction and lift, liposuction on her tummy, thighs and hips plus new veneers on her teeth.

Tummy tuck or not, Nene would STILL be the most cosmetically challenged woman on Celebrity Apprentice. She’s still funny as sh*t though!

Reports have surfaced that “Celebrity Apprentice” star NeNe Leakes has been cozying up to Al Reynolds, the ex-husband of her nemesis and “Celebrity Apprentice” castmate Star Jones.

According to Pop Eater, a friend of Star has stated:

“Star thinks it’s pathetic that these two has-beens have teamed up together. NeNe knows how much pain and hurt that man caused Star. For NeNe to suddenly befriend him tells you exactly what sort of woman she really is.”

The friend goes on to say:

“Al will do anything to get back into the press, including hanging out with reality stars. But to be getting close and personal with a woman who has publicly stated she wouldn’t spit on your ex-wife if she was on fire is just desperate.”

Star filed for divorce from Al back in 2008. Star vowed to never discuss publicly what happened between her and Al. At the time, she released a statement that said, “I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.”

Recent reports state that Star and NeNe are on the verge of squashing their highly publicized beef, but it seems as if this heated showdown is just getting started. Way to fight dirty Nene!

According to published reports, the highly publicized feud between “Celebrity Apprentice” cast mates Star Jones and Nene Leakes appears to be coming to an end.

The battling divas previously came to physical blows on Donald Trump’s hit reality show, but sources claim that cooling heads are prevailing.

“Both NeNe and Star are trying to get along better off set – it was really only when the show started taping that their competitiveness kicked-in,” an anonymous source tells Radar Online. “NeNe felt slighted by Star who she thought was not showing her enough respect – while Star believed that NeNe was all show and no substance.

“They are both head strong women and NeNe believed Star was trying to boss the other contestants around and on top of that they were feuding over hair, wardrobe and make-up too. But they are trying to be more accepting of their differences now although producers want to ramp-up their rivalry when the cameras are rolling because they believe it could translate to high ratings.”

NeNe poured fuel on reports that the combustible pair really did not get along after she went on the Wendy Williams Show recently and confessed to the host: “Star is special… I wouldn’t spit on her if she were on fire.”

It’s such a shame to see grown a$$ (and so called “professional” women) bicker on national television. Get it together ladies.

Celebrity Apprentice airs Sunday nights at 9/8c on ABC.

Your thoughts?

“NeNe Leakes is fabulous, confident and she knows who the hell she is,” the Bravo star tells the March 3 issue of Rolling Out. “NeNe Leakes is not an angry woman.

“Some days I’m angry, and everybody is. I just happen to be on television and the camera captures me when I’m angry,” Leakes counters. “Just imagine doing a reality show. What would they capture about you? They’d capture you on your period, pissed off, angry with your man, happy, going shopping. But they’re only going to put in the things that are most interesting. I’m not an angry black woman; I’m actually a cool ass black woman.”

She’s “clearly” not  an angry woman even though she managed to find a new foe in Star Jones while the two filmed “Celebrity Apprentice,” although Leakes is not that quick to share too many details from their on-camera scuffle.

“I had an experience with Star. I had never met her before. I believe that any woman who gets around Star will find that Star’s not cool,” Leakes says cryptically. “And when you watch Celebrity Apprentice, you will see some sides of her that are just not cool.”

No Nene, what’s not cool is all you grown ass women over the age of 40 that continue to make a fool out of yourselves on reality TV just for a quick buck!

Get it together woman.

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?

Star Jones has finally responded to Nene Leakes‘ trash talking on the “Wendy Williams Show”.

Check out below to see what she had to say:

You are featured on the new season of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and the charity that you compete for is the American Heart Association. The show is getting a ton of pre-press mainly because Nene Leakes has been doing interviews about you. What went wrong with you and NeNe?

This actually saddens me. Black women trashing other black women all for the sake of personal aggrandizement. When the cast was first announced, I was both excited and concerned. Excited that this was going to be the most diverse cast in prime-time reality programming and concerned because the media immediately started the drumroll of “can this many black women get along?” The four of us actually chatted about the unique opportunity we had to influence the perception of black women and the way we interact. We each brought something different to the show, so I had hoped we could avoid falling into the typical “snake charmer in your face loud bombastic black woman” stereotypical box that was expected. Some of us were more successful at our quest than others. I knew I wanted to approach the game intelligently, professionally and strategically, while keeping in mind my true purpose for being there – winning money for my charity.

You have a lot of black female friends – Vanessa Bell Calloway, Natalie Cole and Holly Robinson Peete to name a few. Were you surprised at Nene’s personal attack on you and the implications that you don’t gel with other black women?

Who are you telling! You know my girlfriend gatherings are legendary! But you’ll see this season on the show, at some point Nene attacked all the black women on the show and scared the other women to death with her aggressive approach. But to be fair, it is an approach that works for her kind of television interaction, as evidenced by the great ratings they generate. But it isn’t an approach that works in the professional environment and it isn’t an approach that most sisters use in interacting with each other. I would hope, as she becomes more exposed to a variety of professional situations, she will tone down the vitriolic emotional reactions and learn to express herself in manner that is more reflective of the majority of black women in America.

We feel Star on this one….save the drama for yo mama NeNe!

Thoughts?

NeNe Leakes has Star Jones SHOOK! In fact, Star is so afraid of NeNe that she had to hire her own security detail to keep the controversial reality star away!!

NeNe, who along with Star and several others, appears on the upcoming season of “Celebrity Apprentice,” and sources say that the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” TV star even made fellow “Apprentice” castmember LaToya Jackson cry and got loud with music legend Dionne Warwick, who also appears on the show.

Peep the details below:

“NeNe is coming unhinged,” a source close to Star tells Pop Eater‘s Rob Shuter, adding that during taping the Atlanta ‘Housewife’ made LaToya Jackson cry and even got in the face of singing legend Dionne Warwick. But it’s her beef with Star that is particularly nasty, my source reveals. “Clearly, she can’t get along with women, especially other black women. She is losing it.”

(If you’re taking notes, the women in the cast include Hope Dworaczyk, La Toya, Star, NeNe, Marlee Matlin, Lisa Rinna, Niki Taylor and Dionne.)

For her part, NeNe isn’t waiting for the show to begin to make known her hatred for Star. During a visit to ‘The Wendy Williams Show,’ she tried her best to hold her tongue with limited success. “I’m not feeling Star Jones, I’m sorry. I gave her a chance when I first got there, I did,” she told Wendy, later adding, “I wouldn’t spit on Star if she was on fire.”

Of course, the feeling is mutual, but a friend of Star’s tells me the former ‘View’ co-host will rise above the negative. That said, she feels that NeNe could be a physical threat to her, so she has hired her own private security guards. “Star is a real celebrity, not some cheap reality star who is enjoying 15 minute of fame,” the friend says. “She’s a lawyer and a lady. NeNe can say what she wants about Star, but she doesn’t care now that she knows she’s safe.”

All this upcoming drama isn’t lost on NBC or ‘Apprentice’ honcho Donald Trump, who couldn’t be more excited. “This is the most dramatic season of ‘The Apprentice’ ever. It might just be the best TV catfight of all time,” a show source tells me. “Donald Trump loved it. He’s no fool. He knows that this sort of drama is TV gold.”

This most definitely sounds like must-see TV…….We can’t wait!! That NeNe Leakes is off the chain (LMAO!)

Your thoughts?

Well dayum…. NeNe Leakes says she doesn’t have ANY love for Star Jones!

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star stopped by the Wendy Williams Show Tuesday (Feb. 8) and spoke on how much she’s not feeling the TV personality after meeting her on Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”

“I’m not feeling Star Jones, I’m sorry. I gave her a chance when I first got there, I did. But Star, I’m just going to tell you, Star is a trip –– like she is very special, I really –– she’s special. No seriously –– I wouldn’t spit on Star if she was on fire,” the reality star stated.

Peep the footage below:

Well we guess shots are officially fired. Wonder what Star has to say about all of this??

Your thoughts?

NeNe Leakes‘ 20-year-old wild-child son (you remember, the one who got arrested for possession of a controlled substance and carrying a weapon earlier this year) Bryson Bryant has gotten one of those FAST Atlanta girls PREGNANT!

But the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality star, who has consulted high-powered divorce lawyer Randy Kessler about ending her 14-year marriage to her husband Gregg Leakes (who apparently isn’t Bryson’s biggest fan) isn’t truly convinced that the unborn child is indeed her grandchild, so she is demanding that the couple have a paternity test!

Check out the details below:

“NeNe threw a ‘real hissy fit’ when she found out and she really laid-into Bryson,” a source close to the family told RadarOnline.com. “Not only does she hate the idea of becoming a grandmother in her forties she believes that she will be left picking-up the tab for the baby because her son still lives at home and does not have a steady income. Bryson is still dating the girl, who is a local from Atlanta, but by no means is it a steady and secure relationship. NeNe believes that neither of them is mature enough to be parents but it’s understood that the girl is definitely going to have the baby.”

It’s unclear as to whether or not all of this will play out on a future episode (or episodes) of the hit BRAVO reality series.

SMH at her being mad about possibly becoming a grandma in her 40′s. It’s 2010 Nene. Women are becoming grandmas in their 20′s these days! (LOL)

Nene Leakes says she has reached a breaking point!

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star hinted in a post on her blog yesterday (Nov. 29) that she may be divorcing her hubby Gregg. Check it out below:

Sheree and Lawrence talking about me and Gregg … it just goes to show you that there are really people in the world that want to see you fail. That whole scene with them was just phoney to me! I didn’t buy it!

Gregg and I have held it together for years, but my breaking point has come. I’m one hell of a woman, and I am nobody’s fool. When the person you love and trust betrays you, it has got to be one of the worst feelings. Having that moment with Gregg was so much bigger than you saw. I was really hurting! I felt Gregg was an emotionless wall that was cold with no remorse. The pain in my stomach was unreal, and my heart was heavy! I had been accused of cheating and doing Gregg wrong in the press and on blogs everywhere. I wanted to spit it all out and say some horrible things, but I wanted to handle this situation like a lady as best I could. I was hearing things like Gregg was this good guy that had done all this great stuff for me. Yes, Gregg is a good guy, but that doesn’t mean Gregg is a good husband.

All I can say is, I’m tired! Only I know what I’ve been through! My happiness and independence means everything to me, and I want to follow my heart, but I’m scared! I’m taking baby steps, but I hope I’ve been brave enough for all the women that couldn’t! I hope I was able to show my children what a strong woman looks like and stands for! I will only accept loyalty and trust! My happiness is everything to me!

Keep me in your prayers, and thank you for all the love and support during this really trying time for me!

Love,

NeNe

We wish you the best of luck Nene….

Kim Kardashian hasn’t even had her actual birthday yet, and she’s already had not just one, but TWO parties!

TAO New York celebrated their 10th anniversary over the weekend, and threw Kim her second birthday party of the week. Kim’s BFF Ciara (who didn’t make it to the first one) was there, along with Missy Elliott, Lil Jon and NeNe Leakes (from the Real Housewives of Atlanta).

Check out 10+ pics below!!

Stars like Regina King, Lance Gross, Eva Marcille, Forest Whitaker and more all came out for the movie premiere for the new film “Our Family Wedding” at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 theater Tuesday night (Mar 9) in NYC.

Some of the cast members from Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” including NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss and Lisa Wu Hartwell, were spotted at the private after-party at Providence. Check out 10+ pictures of the folks mentioned and more below and when you continue reading…

Joining in on the festivities for Super Bowl XLIV, ESPN Magazine hosted an event at the Fontainebleau Miami Friday (Feb 5) that drew in names like Nelly, Venus Williams, Terrell Owens, Jesse McCartney and more.

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.”

Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes hosted a party Friday night (Nov 13) at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas. The Bravo reality TV star brought along her husband Greg to help her party the night away Vegas style.

Sidenote: Why does Greg always look like NeNe had to FORCE him to leave the house? He always looks so damn bored at public events LOL!

Some of the big names in urban entertainment hit up the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta Tuesday evening (Nov 3) to attend the 2009 Soul Train Awards.

Here are some pictures of celebrities like Robin Thicke, Monica, Keri Hilson, Musiq Soulchild, Angie Stone, Estelle, the ladies from the Real Housewives of Atlanta and more walking the red carpet before making their way into the building for the show.

Bravo reality star NeNe Leakes got a chance to meet the Quween on the Scene Monday afternoon (Sep 21_ as she ate lunch with her friend Gretchen Rossi (from Real Housewives of Orange County) at Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills. For those of you don’t know, Quween makes it her job to protect celebrities from the “posarazzi.”

TV personalities Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian posed for pics together on the Red Carpet at the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards, held Sunday evening in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theater. Apparently their arrival as a duo was changed at the last minute due to a wardrobe malfunction Kim experienced prior to stepping out on the red carpet. She said didn’t get to make her “live hit” with sister Kourtney because of a problem with her zipper but was able to make it to the show on time and called it “an amazing experience.”

Writing on her official blog, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star admitted that a zipper on her white dress by Ina Soltani broke while she was en route to the ceremony.

“I had a major fashion emergency… My entire zipper ripped! It just popped!” she explained. “I freaked out and called my stylist Monica who was at the Emmys waiting for me with a needle and thread to sew up my entire dress! ”

Other celebs on the red carpet were Heidi Klum and her husband Seal, rapper LL Cool J, comedians Kathy Griffin and Tracy Morgan, singer/songwriter Justin Timberlake and more. NeNe Leakes from Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta hosted E!’s fashion coverage for the red carpet and according to Necole Bitchie, she was personally invited by Ryan Seacrest to do this.

He supposedly flew her out to LA on a private jet and the whole nine. I guess Nene really is stunting on all the other housewives. Being loud, confrontational and stereotypical during every public appearance pays off. Who knew?

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.”

Here’s a shot of Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose on the red carpet of the 2009 BET Awards, which went down Sunday (Jun 28) in Los Angeles at the Shrine Auditorium.
