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?

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Bravo’s most popular franchise of angry women who constantly pick fights with each other, returned for its 4th season last night!

And just in case you missed the Season 4 premiere, we’ve GOT you totally covered.

Watch below (courtesy of Bravo):

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:

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]

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?

Bravo now has seven different versions of the popular “Real Housewives of…” reality series, including versions in Orange County, New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Beverly Hills, and the latest, Miami. And out of all of the “Housewives” shows, according to recent stats and figures, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” is doing the best as far as ratings are concerned.

Last Sunday’s episode gave the show its best numbers ever, at 3.43 million viewers. Apparently these recent numbers for Season 3 of the show are much better than last season, which saw about 2.9 million viewers per week. This has a lot to do with the show moving from Monday nights to Sunday nights this season.

As of right now, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” remains the top franchise among the six “Housewives” that have aired so far (“RHO Miami” begins airing this March). RHOA airs its season finale tonight at 10 pm, followed by two weeks of “reunion” footage shot at the Georgia Aquarium.

Sounds like everybody really likes Nene, Sheree, Kim, Kandi, Cynthia and the rest of the Atlanta Housewife gang! Either that, or they like the drama they all bring. SMH…

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)

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.”

Check out 10+ pics of Kandi and everyone else mentioned and more below…

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.”

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…

There is about to be some serious drama as the cast of the NY, NJ, Atlanta and Orange Co. “Real Housewives” shows gather together on the set of “Who wants to be a Millionaire” next week (Mon. Feb 22 – Fri. Feb 26).  This will be a special presentation called, “The Real Housewives of Millionaire.” Via press release:

Andy Cohen, Executive Producer of the hit show and host of the “Watch What Happens Reunion Specials,” will sit in via Skype as the “Expert” for the “Ask The Expert” lifeline all week. Celebrity housewives will be paired in the hot seat with the contestant housewives and will be able to help them answer trivia questions. After discussing the question and four possible answers, only the real-life housewife will be able to give host Meredith Vieira her ‘final answer.’

This should be a sight to see!

Housewives teaming with contestants include New Jersey cast members Caroline, Dina, Jaqueline and Teresa; New York cast members Kelly, LuAnn, Ramona, Alex and Jill; and from Atlanta, Kandi. Celebrity questions will be presented to the contestants by Orange County Housewives Vicki, Lynne, Jeana, Gretchen and Tamra, as well as Danielle from the New Jersey cast and Lisa and Sheree from Atlanta.

From Jill Zarin (NY):

Jill Zarin of New York City reveals that when Millionaire first premiered in primetime in 1999, she called in to try and become a contestant: “I’m really excited to be here. I bet I’m the only one who really watches the show on a regular basis. I watch it every day. I TiVo it and watch it at night. I do. And then when I got asked to be on the show, I died. It was like dying and going to heaven.”

From Kandi Burruss (Atlanta):

As the sole representative from Atlanta, Kandi Burruss said, “I really enjoyed getting to meet the other ladies from Jersey and New York City. I’ve never met them before, so it was really cool and I’m a big fan of the New Jersey Housewives. See, they’re cool and laid back. The Atlanta housewives, we keep it crunk all the time, so you need to have all of us up here. It would be crazy!”

From Dina Manzo (NJ):

Both Dina and Teresa from New Jersey said they hoped to get a lot of pop culture questions in the hot seat. Dina said, “I’ve been too busy to get ready, that’s why I’m so afraid. I could redecorate the whole set with my eyes shut, but I’m scared to answer these questions. I just hope she has a good sense of humor, my partner.”

From Countess LuAnn de Lesseps (NY):

“I’m really excited to be on ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ because it’s the first time I’ve ever been on a game show. I’m super excited. I’m a little nervous, but I love multiple choice, so I feel kind of secure there.”

Kandi Burruss from one the 90′s hottest R&B groups Xscape has placed all the finishing touches with her new record deal with Asylum Records on Monday.

BV: “I’m really excited about my new deal and releasing my CD to the masses. People got to hear some of my new music on the ‘Real Housewives’ show, but I’ve got so many more hits that I can’t wait to put out,” Kandi told me.

Kandi stars on Bravo’s Atlanta franchise of their Real Housewives series and the singer/reality star was working out a deal with Capital Records during the filming of the show, but unfortunately that fell through between the taping of the season finale and the reunion.

“After my Capital situation didn’t work out, I released my EP on iTunes and it performed very well. But now I’m excited about dropping my full-length CD in 2010, because its been almost 10 years since I’ve put out a solo record,” she expressed, before adding: “I guess I didn’t realize it had been that long!”

The 33-year-old R&B singer’s first studio album in over 10 years will be released sometime in 2010. She’s calling it “B.L.O.G.” and the album’s first single “Fly Above” is already making its way through radio! We wish Kandi the best with her music career AND her stint on the ATL Housewives.

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.”

After posting a $10,000 dollar bond, Frederick Richardson, best known as the man allegedly responsible for the death of A.J. Jewell (from the Real Housewives of Atlanta), was released from prison Tuesday morning (Oct 20). Before Richardson posted his bail, he was seen before Judge Karen Woodson, who set the bond following an autopsy on A.J.’s body.

Richardson and Jewel, who was engaged to Kandi Burruss of BRAVO’s Real Housewives of Atlanta up until August of this year, had an undisclosed dispute at Atlanta strip joint Body Tap earlier this month (Fri Oct 2). Shortly after the dispute and the physical altercation that followed, Jewell died on the way to the hsopital. During Richardson’s arrest, authorities assumed Jewell’s death was due to head trauma, and charged Richardson accordingly with voluntary manslaughter. But the new autopsy states differently and considers that A.J. suffered from Sickle Cell and that may have played a role in his unfortunate demise.

And though his family acknowledges that he indeed have the Sickle Cell trait, his death was due to the physical altercation and not the disease.

“Our son A.J. had the Sickle Cell trait which caused no related medical problems during his life. We feel A.J.’s death was a result of the malicious attack by the individual and/or individuals present during the figh,” the family told TMZ.

A.J. Jewell leaves behind his fiancee and Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star Kandi Burruss, and six children. His family is in our prayers and we are hopeful that justice will be served.

Fulton County Associate Medical Examiner, Dr. Kelly Rose tells TMZ preliminary autopsy results lead her to believe Ashley “A.J.” Jewell suffered from Sickle Cell — a disease which inhibits oxygen flow to tissues in the body.

Rose says it’s most likely that Jewell was worked up from the fight — and because of his condition, it’s probable that he couldn’t replenish the oxygen he lost during the incident … which the Dr. says could have fatal consequences.

AJ was engaged to R&B singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss (formerly of Xscape) up until August 2009 and was a regular on her show, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Filming for the reunion special was set to take place last Thursday (Oct 8), but has since been pushed back due to AJ’s sudden death the week prior.

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.

Wow! News just broke that Ashley Jewell aka “AJ” (Kandi Buruss‘s ex fiance) was involved in a fatal club incident this evening, which resulted in him being stabbed and beat to death. AJ was a regular on Kandi’s show, the Real Housewives of Atlanta (BRAVO). The two had been engaged up until August 2009.

I just received word that AJ, who was Kandi’s (RHOA) finance, was beat to death in a brawl at Body Tap Exclusive in Atlanta. My sources state that AJ was a promoter partial owner of the strip club and was hit in the head. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he passed away from his injuries. People who are currently inside the club are texting FROM the club but no additional information is available.

SOURCE: MISS JIA

No more information is currently available as this story is developing, but we’ll keep you updated. This is very sad, and all we can think about right now are his six kids. Our prayers are definitely with them, Kandi and the rest of his close friends/family.

UPDATED: AJ actually is a part owner at Body Tap, the Atlanta, GA (strip) club where the incident occurred. Though we previously reported that he was stabbed, we were able to confirm through additional sources that no knives were involved and AJ died from injuries sustained from a blow to the head.

Kandi also posted a few messages to her Twitter account, thanking people who left her their condolences. What makes this situation even more sad is the fact that she will be attending her Uncle’s funeral today (Sat. Oct 3).

im bout 2 giv my swollen eyes sum rest now. i just wanted to say thanks 2 every1 for their prayers. i gotta get up & go 2 my uncle’s funeral

I could never n a million years imagine this happening. please pray for AJ’s children. that’s who im the most concerned 4.

im just in one of those moods where i dont wanna talk, i dont wanna b held & told its gonna b ok. i just wanna cry myself 2 sleep, alone.

The AJC is saying that the police have a person of interest and are still trying to piece together exactly what happened. Police are saying that the witnesses they’ve rounded up are cooperating.

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…
