Kim and NeNe fighting for electic bills and upgrades…

Mocha — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:33:27 +0000

The rumors are percolating about Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes being fired or close to being fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now sources are revealing why. NeNe and Kim are in the midst of contract negotiations with Bravo for next season — and a major point of contention is the electric bill. We’re told the ladies are sick of having to pay giant electric bills out of their own pocket after the show tapes at their homes and drains tons of juice from their sockets. This seems like a fair reason to fight. The electric bill should be a RHOA expense. My question is, where are the other ladies? Something like this should be a fight for the entire cast unless— its not that simple. Knowing Kim and NeNe, its not. We know Lisa Wu Hartwell and Sheree Whitfields homes were foreclosed on and NeNe was evicted. They don’t have the luxury to pay electric bills that their employer generated. Maybe the overall check outweighs a Greystone bill. Click for the other demands from NeNe and Kim
NeNe and Kim are also demanding an upgrade in travel arrangement — because they’re tired of having to use their own airline miles to upgrade from the coach seats provided by the show. There are more demands — including stipends for wardrobe, hair and make-up. source

NeNe Leakes Kim Zolciak getting the boot from Atlanta Housewives

Mocha — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:43:08 +0000

Okay first lets set the stage….you know that NeNe thinks she’s the shizz and nothing, let alone the show can go on without her right??? Remember Tardy For The Party? She didn’t think it would be a success if she was on it……wrong! Anyway, The “Real Housewives” of Atlanta will be back for a third season but NeNe and Kim might not be.

According to a source, NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak are demanding more money to appear on the show than Bravo cares to dish out — and producers are so fed up with their diva-esque requests, they’re quietly making plans to move on without the two.

“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.”

The insider dishes that the newest Southern socialite will either join the already-rowdy Atlanta crew as a sixth housewife — or replace NeNe or Kim. While a final decision hasn’t been made, one Atlanta lady who viewers won’t be seeing on the show is Tameka Foster Raymond, better known as Usher’s ex-wife.

“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.”

The network does feels strongly about bringing back two of the more well-behaved Housewives: Kandi Burruss and Sheree Whitfield, who share screen time with Leakes, Zolciak and Lisa Wu and seem to be the most popular of the controversial crew. Our source says Bravo will let them stick around for as long as they’d like.

“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.”

Bravo had no comment, while reps for Leakes and Zolciak didn’t respond to calls by deadline. But fans of the reality show can rest assured that the rocky negotiations won’t interfere with production.

“Things with NeNe and Kim have been intense,” says the source, “but Bravo feels the show is about the franchise as a whole and won’t let one person stop it.” source

Kim Zolciak Says Its Over Again With Big Papa and Talks Kandi

Mocha — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:32:57 +0000

Kim Zolciak tells ESSENCE.com how she and the other housewives are supporting their friend through this sad and awful time in her life, why she missed Kandi’s comeback performance, and puts to bed the rumors about her engagement to Big Papa.

ESSENCE.COM: How is Kandi doing? Have you spoken to her?
KIM ZOLCIAK: I spoke with her mom and texted her just to let her know I’m here. I was one of the first to find out and I called the other ladies. Everybody has been fantastic but it’s unfortunate that it takes a tragedy to bring us all together. We were able to put all our stuff on the back burner and come together for Kandi. It’s not something that I ever thought would happen, no matter how tragic the situation.

ESSENCE.COM: What was your interaction with A.J like?
ZOLCIAK: He actually called me last week and I never called him back, which sucks. I adored him. He was such a great guy. He was actually with Big Papa the night I got engaged. I hated that people have this bad impression of him because he had so many children. He was a great father and he was great with Riley [Kandi's 7-year-old daughter] and he loved Kandi.

ESSENCE.COM: There’s been some buzz about why you didn’t show up to Kandi’s performance. What happened?
ZOLCIAK: My daughter Brielle was sick and that’s when swine flu was going rampant. I don’t have a nanny at night. I told Kandi I wasn’t able to come. I’m not that kind of friend to just not show up. Kandi has been an incredible friend to me, and the way it came across was that I didn’t make any effort and that’s just not true.

ESSENCE.COM: How’s “Tardy for the Party” doing? It sounds like a breakout hit.
ZOLCIAK: I’m so excited. We’re in the top 100 on iTunes and No. 3 on the dance charts. The single is doing fantastic. The experience was worth a million dollars because Kandi got me through my biggest fear. She can turn dirt into diamonds. She definitely went out on a limb to work with me. I always said I wanted to be a one-hit wonder but I am working on another single.

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: 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. source

Who the Hell is NeNe? Would You Buy Music Because she was on it?

Mocha — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:11:57 +0000

For Hip Hop News & Entertainment at DimeWars.Com

Let’s be serious, we like to laugh at NeNe and talk about her but there is absolutely nothing that I want to hear from her musically. How are you gonna hate Kim so much but you want to be involved in her project so bad that you make an ass out of yourself?

Kim Zolciak’s ‘Don’t Be Tardy For The Party’ Video

Real Housewives Alter Ego Photo Shoot

Mocha — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:24:48 +0000

NeNe stepped in front of the camera to portray a pole-dancing stripper and a reluctant socialite tipper.

Kim chose to pose as a mistress and her lover’s scorned wife at a Laundromat.

Kandi, whose friends were involved in a drunk-driving accident, decided send a message, portraying an intoxicated clubber who got behind the wheel and her victim.

Lisa Wu Hartwell poses as a punk and a goody-goody Girl Scout.

Making light of her much-hyped “seven-figure” divorce settlement, the She by Sheree designer posed as a fashionista and a robber.

Kim Zolciak Goes Topless

Mocha — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:33:10 +0000

Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is going topless, sounds normal and not to far fetched right? Well Kim is showing off her twins but this time it’s for a good cause, NOH8, the campaign against the ban on same-sex marriage.
Kim wrote this on Twitter:
“The noh8 campaign shoot was hot. and I am topless!!! Just to cause a stir to make people pay attention!”

Another Real Housewife Loses Home

Mocha — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:58:06 +0000

Do any of these housewives own their homes?

“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Lynne Curtin has gotten kicked out of the home she lived in while taping the reality show! It was reported that the Curtin’s owed their landord and the agent who helped them get the property over $12,000. The landlord also said their utilities were cut off. Now Lynne is allegedly getting a divorce—-money gone so is she!
I bet she’s comforting herself saying “this aint sh!t compared to the Atlanta housewife’s”….lol
In other housewife news, look at Ramona’s new haircut………..
It does nothing for her.

Ghetto Housewives of Atlanta

Mocha — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 09:43:22 +0000

I’m sorry but Sheree comes off to me as a total liar. I don’t think that Kim is a saint at all. I see Sheree as a ghetto fake friend, who uses other friends against each other and she tries to cover it all up with fake class. What did Jay-Z say, “You can pay for school, but you can’t buy class.” Sheree is like one of those girls you confront and she doesn’t stand up for herself and all the stuff that she spews, but……when you leave, she’s like I shoulda smacked her, oh if she woulda said one more thing, no she didn’t, blah blah blah. That’s how I felt when she walked out of the restaurant behind Kim. Sheree is trying to befriend NeNe again so she has to make Kim the bad friend. The same way she did to Kim when her and NeNe were beefing. You can tell Kim and NeNe are both crazy and want to be friends. Otherwise, how could you go through all that name calling and fighting and just sit down, laugh and talk?
Kandi’s mother seems so sincere and dead on! I feel kinda bad for Kandi though because her tears were real. Lisa Wu Hartwell and the fertility clinic mess…..EXTRA! Next.

Ghetto is back on TV-Real Housewives of Atlanta

Mocha — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:39:17 +0000

The Real Housewhores of Atlanta returned to television on July 30. First let me say, I am so sick of them having one white girl, Kim Zolciak, that everybody takes turns with befriending.

First she’s my friend, now I hate her, now she’s your friend and I want to fight her. Why are the only fights, physical confrontations, with the white girl? If she’s poison leave her the hell alone. All these grown women walking around talking about “she’s talking about me behind my back.” All these black chicks fighting with Kim reminds me of going to an all black high school and messing with the one lone white girl in our class. These women are just promoting more stereotypes about black people and they don’t have any problems doing it either. Now back to Kim, she wore a horrible wig all throughout the first season and now she’s starting a wig line. Hilarious. The funny thing is that the wigs will probably sell. Why? Because people are stupid.
Okay moving on–NeNe Leakes moves into Lisa Wu Hartwell’s neighborhood.

She used all her reality check to get in this new house, huh? It was empteeeeeeeeee. I found it funny when they talked about Kim gossiping (sigh) about Greg Leakes, NeNe’s husband, being broke, Miss Outspoken NeNe didn’t say “oh we got money, Greg got plenty of money, look at all this baby.” What she said was, Greg aint never do nothing to Kim, something along those lines. I think that says a whole lot in itself.
Moving on to Lil Miss Ditzy but fake intellectual, Sheree Whitfield.

Sheree acts oblivious to everything pertaining to her foreclosed home but she’s into details, she’s a business woman, she needs to be involved. Not to mention that she lived at the house where the foreclosure notices would arrive. We won’t even talk about the public notices in the newspaper. When she does the interviews between segments in the show, and says Bob never said anything, I never knew, she embarasses herself even more and just looks like a total airhead. Here she is, fighting someone for “seven figures” that he doesn’t have, going through a long contested divorce and blaming everything on him….crazy even for Sheree. She obviously couldn’t depend on Bob and he no longer has to answer to her, that’s what divorce means. Sheree had the house on the market for a crazy figure and couldn’t sell it. But now she don’t know nothing—-right.

Lisa Wu Hartwell still can’t put her sons she had with Keith Sweat on the show. Good, for the kids, they shouldn’t have to live with ridicule and embarrassment from her shenanigans on the show. That’s the best move Sweat made in years. I also think it’s so funny that Lisa still thinks her husband Ed may get picked up. I do think it’s over for him honey…..let it go! Think twice about that new baby. Unless you want to make all the bread and carry another baby while Mr. Ed plays super daddy.

Kandi has already shared that she doesn’t know about the future of her relationship with fiance AJ. You know what reality shows do to marriages and new relationships. Kandi’s wedding off?

Kim Zolciak Pressing Charges Against NeNe for Choking

Mocha — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 23:50:11 +0000

Talk about Housewives getting Real–a cast member from Bravo’s Atlanta franchise has pressed charges against one of her own for allegedly choking her. Kim Zolciak has filed a police report against the outspoken NeNe Leakes, claiming that an altercation during a shoot for their show ended in Leakes choking her. Two witnesses on the scene corroborated Zolciak’s story with police, according to ET, saying that Leakes “grabbed [Kim] by the neck and tried to choke her out.”

Zolciak was advised by authorities to pursue and arrest warrant for Leakes and photograph any evidence of the attack. source

Look Who’s All Clicked Up

Mocha — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:17:31 +0000

Kandi and Kim from The Real Housewhores of Atlanta are all clicked up.
Nene has a problem with Kim so you know she doesn’t like Kandi. As a matter of fact, Nene sent Kim a lightweight threatening message while they were up at V103 radio station. Kim showed the message in the pic below. I think Kim understands by now that Nene is nothing but a bunch of talk.

The two darker girls on the show(Kandi and Nene) would have problems with each other right? Only one spot for the dark girl to shine….lol

Kandi Looking Like a Mini NeNe

Mocha — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:55:46 +0000

Look at the Real Housewives of Atlanta on the red carpet of the BET Awards. Kandi is looking like a mini version of NeNe and that’s so not good.

They really should look into a new name for this show cause REAL HOUSEWIVES aint it!

Atlanta Housewives Returning in July

Mocha — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:46:43 +0000

Just when you thought the Real Housewives drama was ending — after New Jersey’s table-turning finale — Bravo has announced that The Real Housewives of Atlanta will return for its second season on July 30 (10 p.m., ET). Returning this year are aspiring country singer Kim Zolciak, entrepreneur Lisa Wu Hartwell, the outspoken NeNe Leakes and budding fashion designer Sheree Whitfield. Meanwhile, Kandi Burruss, a Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and former member of Xscape, will join the mix, becoming the official fifth castmate, replacing DeShawn Snow. According to the network, the newest Housewife’s storyline will involve balancing wedding planning, writing and recording a new album as a solo artist and being a mom. Burruss is friends with Wu Hartwell.

As for the veterans, Bravo notes that upcoming Atlanta episodes will document the development of Whitfield’s She by Sheree fashion line and her dating life, Zolciak’s life after breaking up with beau “Big Poppa,” and Leakes’s upcoming self-help book for women.

Sheree Whitfield banned from her own divorce party

Mocha — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:21:03 +0000

Sheree Whitfield had a “divorce party” this past weekend at a mansion in Atlanta. At this party Sheree was absent. They said that she was banned by the party promoter. The funny thing was that Bob Whitfield was at the party celebrating but no Sheree so it turned into his divorce party. Well Sheree has released a statement about this event. Contine Reading by Clicking

Here is the statement issued by Sheree’s publicist:

Anthony Shorter whom also uses the alias Tyson unfortunately conducted himself in an extremely unprofessional manner during this season’s taping of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” and did in fact attempt to assault his prospective female client Sheree Whitfield. Mr. Shorter was enraged that Ms. Whitfield as well as The Bravo Network released him of his duties. Tony Shorter lost control of his temper, screaming obscenities and completely compromising his livelihood.

In addition to this unacceptable behavior Mr. Shorter teamed up with editor Dennis Byron over the weekend and illegally used Ms. Whitfield’s name to headline a party, which had been previously cancelled due to Mr. Shorter’s unethical business practice. Sheree Whitfield had no involvement or any intentions of attending as a result of cancellation.

We are unable to address the situation in length, but would like to say that neither Anthony Shorter nor Dennis Byron has any affiliation with Sheree Whitfield. Anyone considering Anthony Shorter for hire and/or his alleged company “Atlanta Music Festival” should research all information provided.

What do you think?

Kandi the new ATL Housewife, defends her man!

Mocha — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 02:33:26 +0000

Now first, let me say that I stand corrected. A reader reminded me of Kandi’s songs and YouTube page which show that she can be and will be just as ignorant as the rest of them heifers on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. With that being said, Kandi Burruss has come forward to defend her fiance after hearing rumors that implied he was a deadbeat dad and drug dealer!
Continue Reading
Sources claiming to be close to acquaintances of A.J. Jewell, Kandi’s fiance, went as far as calling the alleged Atlanta based father of six, who has some type of “involvement in the music business,” a deadbeat dad and a drug dealer who uses “fake pay stubs” to avoid paying child support.
According to Kandi everything has been on the “up and up” since they’ve been together and she doesn’t “know whatever went on in his past”. In fact, Kandi says his baby mothers are respectful and “they never seem to have a problem”. How dumb does that sh!t sound? Where to start……his baby mothers? No, how bout your about to marry dude, but you don’t know about his past, and he’s on the up and up now???? Girl Bye!

Neicy Nash birthday party

Niecy Nash celebrated her 39th birthday in the Atlanta this past weekend. Her celebrity guest were the real sluts of…….oh my bad, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

We don’t really know exactly what went down but sources say the housewives got into a fight at the party. Not hard to believe at all right? Kim came but she didn’t stay long. She took some pictures and jetted.

Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Show Fight..

Mocha — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:32:18 +0000

Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Show. These heifers are ignorant.

I found this interesting comment on Atlantamagazine.com
Kim (Kimberleigh) Zolciak’s “Big Poppa’s” identity is all over the internet and confirmed by pausing the show while Kim is texting Sheree Whitfield outside of Blue Genes. “Big Poppa” is Atlanta’s own MARRIED real estate developer Lee Najjar. His name and little “Miss You” messages are shown on her text message in-box on her cell phone. So now the question is what does Mrs. Najjara (Kimberly Najjar – convenient that first names are the same just spelled differently) have to say about this embarrassing situation? The sparks should be flying in Buckhead!

I expected the Real Housewives of Atlanta to be hot….

Mocha — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:21:27 +0000

When they announced the popular reality show was coming to Atlanta, I thought it would be great. I didn’t think they would be as embarrassing as they are nor as unattractive. Well…not unattractive, their not that ugly….. their just not that hot. I assumed the Atlanta housewives would represent the beauty in Atlanta instead they look like older women, wealthy housewives, made up to the tenth degree.
Even at the BET Awards they tried, boy did they try but they just look like middle aged, manicured, well groomed, made up….whatever you want to call it, housewives. I guess what I’m saying is, who cares if your middle aged, have a little money and are immature housewives? Their stories are not unique, come on, real estate….everybody in Atlanta does real estate. It would make a better show if they were sexy, wealthy, responsible, mature housewives all about business. Bravo could of done way better!
In all fairness, Lisa Wu Hartwell looks great in this picture, her dress is wonderful and she just might be an exception to all of the above. So far she’s seemed like a real business woman, getting it done.
Totally unrelated side note: Deshawn Snow’s son made a complete fool out of her on tv. His big ass sitting up throwing a tantrum about waiting for food and she couldn’t control him. I wanted to jump through the tv screen on his butt. Maybe she can hire someone to teach him manners and patience.

Keith Sweat won’t allow kids to appear on Real Housewives of Atlanta

Mocha — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:51:43 +0000

Keith Sweat has shut down appearances of his two sons with one of the Atlanta Housewives, Lisa Wu Hartwell. He refused to sign a waiver and that will keep the kids from appearing on the Bravo reality series, The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

“He’s like, ‘Lisa, it’s nothing personal,” Hartwell explains. “I just really don’t know how they’re going to edit and if they’re going to make you look crazy. I just don’t want the kids to be, you know, overexposed or anything.’”
“They asked their dad could they be involved, and he [said] no. It could have been a Disney show and I don’t think he would have signed it.”
