Kim & Kroy Looking For New Digs In Roswell

Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Kim Zolciak and her new beau Kroy Biermann have been fishing for fancy new digs as they get ready to have a baby together.

They are currently in talks to lease a property in Roswell with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, according to the real estate agent Rebecca Currie. Brielle, Kim’s daughter, Tweeted about the property earlier this month.

The 11,000 square feet home on two acres is currently for sale at an asking price of $3.25 million. The couple originally made a lower offer earlier this month, but it was rejected. Currie told me today she’d love for someone to buy the house, which is owned by a retired athlete. But a rental is better than keeping it empty.

The home has been for sale for nearly six months under its current owners. I did a little research and found the home is owned by former NBA player Antonio Davis and his wife Kendra and we featured it on our website last year. Davis played for the Pacers, Raptors and Bulls between 1993 and 2006.

Zolciak is due with her third child in June. She met Biermann, a Falcons defensive end, last spring at a charity event. They hooked up almost immediately, enabling Zolciak to dump Lee Najjar, best known as “Big Poppa.” Biermann’s livelihood is threatened by the current NFL lockout. If the season does happen, he is set to get paid $555,000.

Is NeNe Leakes Hooking Up With Star's Ex?

Star magazine claims that Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe Leakes has been antagonizing Star Jones by spending quality time with Jones' ex-husband, Al Reynolds.

Although Reynolds has been haunted by gay rumors, the magazine says he's been getting quite cozy with his ex wife's nemesis.

[Reynolds and Leakes] dined at STK in NYC on March 9 and "looked very cozy," an eyewitness tells the publication. Afterwards, they danced the night away a Haven before hopping in the same cab at 4 a.m. And date No. 2 is already in the works.

RumorFix reached out to Al's rep to see if there were any truth to the rumors and were surprised when we got this answer: "Al and NeNe were recently introduced. He is enjoying getting to know her."

The rep wouldn't confirm that they're dating, but the two have been flirting on Twitter. Star Jones better watch out!

NeNe Leakes Says Star Jones “Is A Disaster”

NeNe Leakes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta and more recently, Celebrity Apprentice, will appear on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” today.

According to a transcript the show sent us, they’ll be discussing Leakes’ fellow Apprentice cast member Star Jones.

They’re not exactly best buddies.

“She is bossy, she is manipulative, conniving,” Leakes said of Jones. “She is controlling. I think that she knows. Yeah. She looks in the mirror, she better know.”

By the way here’s a comprehensive Celebrity Apprentice recap from our colleague Rodney Ho. If you’d like to see RoHo talking about the show click here for his video.

Jones has been vocal about Leakes as well, telling Daytime Confidential, “We’re not on the same level. Let’s make that clear. We’re on the same show.”

In case that was unclear she added, ”Cream rises to the top and water seeks its own level.”

Jones also noted, “They cast the show based on what they thought would generate good ratings. This was not a show about friendship.”

Apparently their relationship was strained from the beginning.

“When I walked into the situation, I tried to walk in with no preconceived notions,” Leakes told DeGeneres. “I was just thinking, ‘Okay, I’m going to do the show. I’m going to get to know who Star is.’ I think she had preconceived notions of who she thought I was just from watching me on the ‘Housewives.’ I think she thought I was going to come in and take over. I tried to get to know her. Some people are difficult to get to know. She’s not easiest person to get to know. She is a disaster.”

Could they work things out?

“I don’t think she’s easy to get along with,” Leakes said. “She’s a tough girl. We’re kind of okay. I’m trying to feel her out right now.”

NeNe Leakes: "I'm Not an Angry Woman"

Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes knows her larger than life personality can be polarizing. But according to the 43-year-old reality star, it's also served her well on Celebrity Apprentice.

"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."

Leakes' critics -- and her pregnant Real Housewives costar Kim Zolciak, 32 -- may disagree.

"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."

The fiery reality star found a new foe in Star Jones on Celebrity Apprentice -- though Leakes is hesitant 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."

Unfortunately for Leakes, her spat with Jones, 48, was an indicator of further turmoil during her tenure on Celebrity Apprentice.

"It was a very hard show to do. We shot the show in literally 45 days," she griped. "The hours are bananas. You work six days a week, and you rise at 4 a.m. and you get in at midnight. The earliest was 10 p.m., but sometimes it was 1 a.m."

Though she's appeared on two different reality shows, Leakes insists she didn't set out to be a TV star.

"I work with a lot of people in the business who would much rather have fame over the money, and I'm a little bit different," she tells the mag. "Famous isn't anything that I'm trying to be. I'm just trying to work and have money."

Andy Cohen: Miami Is the Last Stop on the Train

When Bravo launched the Real Housewives of Miami, it seemed like there was hope for a franchise in every city. However, Bravo’s Andy Cohen exclusively tells OK! that Miami is the last stop for the Housewives train. Last night, OK! talked to the host with the most as he helped celebrate MCC Theater’s 25th Anniversary in NYC. Andy sounded off on some of the most controversial housewives in seasons past and he even told OK! which franchise he would love to see Whitney Houston star in!

When asked about which city he would look to next to find more housewives, he told OK!, “I really feel like we’re done.” So is Miami the last stop on the Housewives train? Andy answered, “Yeah.”

But if any housewife thinks this is her chance to star in a spin-off series like Bethenny Frankel, she should think again. Andy explained of the other housewives, “I think they’re all good where they are.”

Even though he might think they should stay put in their hometowns, Andy had nothing but love for some of his favorite housewives. The king of Bravo used word association to describe the happy homemakers.

OK!: Camille Grammer

AC: Rich!

OK!: Teresa Giudice

AC: Strong!

OK!: Bethenny Frankel

AC: Hilarious!

OK!: Nene Leakes

AC: Bam!

Andy continued to gush about Miss Leakes, “She’s just in your face and fun!”

He then told OK! that he would also like to see Whitney Houston kick it with Nene and the gang on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. “I’d like to see her shake things up with those women.” Maybe she could team up with Kim Zolciak for “Tardy for the Party Part II”!

Phaedra Parks Working On Book, Reality Shows

The Real Housewives of Atlanta's stand-out southern belle, Phaedra Parks tells Radar Online exclusively that she’s putting TV stardom aside for new next endeavor.

Atlanta’s power entertainment attorney is penning her first book and pitching three new reality shows.

“It’s about being a southern belle and all the accoutrements that go with it,” Pheadra tells Radar Online exclusively.

“It’s a modern day twist on etiquette and being a lady. And it’s alright for women to embrace their ladylike side.

“It’s high time that women start enjoying being ladies again. People have moved away from that.”

Phaedra, who’s never been shy about liking to dress over-the-top with her big hats and big makeup, wants to bring back traditions from days gone by like high tea, pretty frilly things, hats, gloves and “things that make you unique” – which she’ll highlight in the book, expected to hit shelves by the end of summer or early fall.

“I want to give my tips,” she says. “So many people over the years have asked me about how to have it all without losing yourself.”

Phaedra will also put on her producer’s hat to pitch three new “empowering” reality TV shows.

“I’m more into the uplifting programs.”

Phaedra hinted about what she hopes will make it to the small screen: “The first show is a docudrama and will take a group of women and empower them. The second show is more of a documentary that deals with serious issues of dating. And the third show is more fun and lighthearted focusing on alternative lifestyles.

“I’m all about girl-power.”

Miss Lawrence Washington Visits Us Magazine!

You can yack about "Tardy For The Party" all you want, but the undeniable real breakout star of the Real Housewives of Atlanta was not Kim Zolciak but Lawrence Washington. That's actually Miss Lawrence to you all now.

Yes, he started out on the series as Sheree Whitfield's flamboyant hairdresser, but it just took a little Pygmalion-esque tutelage from the show's resident R&B Rex Harrison, Kandi Burress, to transform him into this decade's answer to legendary disco devo Sylvester.

Aside from his debut hit from the show, "Closet Freak," a catchier gay anthem than Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" if you ask me, he's now moved on to a forthcoming LP, a slew of appearances and a regular slot on The Steve Harvey Show.

Burress defines his appeal to Us Magazine like this: "That boy can SANG! Besides that, I thought it was time for the world to again recognize talent without restrictions. There hasn't been an artist with such outrageous androgynous style since Boy George in the 80’s. I believe the time is right for Miss Lawrence."

We were lucky enough to lure Lawrence into our NYC office studio on February 25 to answer a few questions, belt out "Closet Freak" and the Donna Summer classic "Heaven Knows" a cappella - and impersonate the Housewives to a T.

NeNe Leakes No Longer An 'Atlanta Housewife'?

Has NeNe Leakes gotten too big for her Bravo britches?

An insider tells us Leakes' stint as a cast member of the Real Housewives of Atlanta may be coming to an end for a number of reasons - including her extra-grande ego.

The reality star, who shot to fame on the franchise along with "Tardy for the Party" singer Kim Zolciak and amateur designer Sheree Whitfield, has become best known for her catty comments and friendship with Bravo exec and television personality Andy Cohen.

But our insider tells us that Cohen's relationship with the housewife has become strained due to NeNe's "disrespectful" and "arrogant behavior."

The insider says Neakes' aggressive behavior toward Zolciak - one incident of which was depicted on the reality series - has prompted the network to reevaluate NeNe's position on the show.

At the end of season two, Leakes grabbed the aspiring singer by the throat. The two began season three by making up but had fallen out again by last month's finale.

Apparently, Zolciak is not the only one who wants nothing to do with Leakes. "She's alienated all of the women other than Cynthia [Bailey]," the source says. "So, as of now, the plan is to "phase" Leakes out within the first two to three episodes of season four, which begins in October.

A spokeswoman for Bravo has no comment.

NeNe Leakes on Star Jones: She is Not ‘Loyal’

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes and former View host Star Jones are no strangers to drama, so when the two came together to star on the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice, it should come as a surprise that these two ladies didn’t exactly see eye to eye.

What exactly caused this drama? And what can we expect to see on this season of the hit NBC show? Nene spoke with Celebuzz to dish out all the dirt:

You clash a bit with Star Jones on this season of Celebrity Apprentice. Can you give us some inside scoop on that?
Well for weeks we were cool. What caused it is that I don’t think Star is a loyal person. I’m very loyal to those who are loyal to me. I understand we are playing a game. People are manipulative and strategic, but I don’t feel that you need to be that way when you’re playing for charity. She was backstabbing and manipulative and it really aggravated me so I called her on it in front of Trump.

Who did you get along with and get close to?
Star and I got along well for a long time, but I always felt she had this preconceived notion about me. I also heard that she didn’t really like reality stars. Some people left early so I didn’t get a chance to make a connection with them, but I thought all the girls were cool. Latoya [Jackson] has been the person I’ve talked to the most. We clash on the show because of Star but we both confronted her. Towards the end, everyone starts to get aggressive, but all the girls are cool.

What’s it like being there with Latoya Jackson?
I’ve never been a star struck person. I respect her family and the things that they’ve done in the entertainment industry, but that’s their thing. I met her and introduced myself. I saw another side of Latoya that people don’t know. I talk to her the most out of everybody. She’s really cool.

You’ve been working on your brand and your business. Are you now looking to expand? What’s next?
A lot of opportunities have been presented to me. I’m not sure which way to go in yet, but one of my goals is to host. I’d love to do something like Chelsea Lately where we can laugh a bit and then move to the couch and have an interview. I’m also very interested in shoes and handbags too, so I have a few things to think about.

Kim Zolciak's Assistant To Nene: Leave Me Alone

First, Real Housewife NeNe Leakes accused Kim Zolciak of treating Sweetie Hughes, Kim's assistant, like a "slave" on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. 

Now that allegation has prompted a "Free Sweetie" crusade that Sweetie says is ruining her life. Atlanta radio host Rickey Smiley launched the campaign on Feb. 16 after NeNe called his morning show.

"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."

"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."

Kim Zolciak Opens Up About Her Pregnancy

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is all about the drama. But these days, Housewife Kim Zolciak is drama-free, six months pregnant and happier than ever! At an exclusive bump-revealing photo shoot with Life & Style on Feb. 20, Kim opens up about her belly, her man -- Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann, whom she's been dating since May -- and the possibility of another baby in their future!

"I'll be 33 when I have this baby, and I'm more in touch with my body now," Kim tells Life & Style. The reality star, who already has two daughters, Brielle, 13, and Ariana, 9, from a previous marriage, says she's gained about 20 pounds so far. "I'm definitely eating a lot more now than I did with my girls." Not that she -- or her man Kroy -- minds a little extra weight. "Kroy loves me pregnant. I don't remember my ex-husband being that into it, but Kroy loves it. He tells me I'm so beautiful."

Together for nearly 10 months, Kim reveals to Life & Style that she and Kroy are finally shacking up together in Atlanta, just in time for their newborn's June arrival! "We'll be moved in before the baby is born," she says. So could a ring be far off? "Kroy's perfect for me, but we're not engaged," Kim tells Life & Style. "If we get married, Kroy would like to have one more child, and I want one too!"

Will Nene & Kim Zolciak Ever Be Friends Again?

After part one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, it seemed obvious that NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak's relationship was irreparably shattered as the ladies revisited their nasty fight aboard that bus.

Yet on Sunday's reunion, the second and final part, Zolciak offered an olive branch (of sorts), telling host Andy Cohen that she couldn't deny that she wished Leakes well in her life. True, it wasn't an all-out declaration of friendship but, as Cohen pointed out, Zolciak seemed genuinely moved – even wistful – while watching a montage of her greatest hits and funniest moments with Leakes over the course of the season.

Leakes, however, sat impassively and didn't seem to share in Kim's sentiment at all. In fact, she said that she thought their friendship was over, definitively.

Before arriving at this détente (of sorts), which concluded a rather staid, drama-free reunion, the two did get into another round of she-said, she-said, arguing again about the origins of their fight.

Perhaps they really won't reconcile – though NeNe and Kim have certainly been down this road before.

Will NeNe and Kim be friends again?
Yes. They'll eventually reconcile
No. This time they're done

Which Atlanta Housewife Is the Biggest Freak?

The sassy ladies of the Real Housewives of Atlanta aren't shy about their, ahem, bedside manners. During the second part of the Real Housewives reunion, host Andy Cohen got down to business, asking Kandi Burruss who had the highest "freak number" -- as in, how freaky they are behind closed doors.

"Sheree did," admits Burruss, speaking of her castmate Sheree Whitfield. But Whitfield denies her freaky side, though she originally admitted on the show that her freak number was probably a 9 or 9-1/2 out of ten. "I think Kandi's is higher. I don't do the sugar and the Pop Rocks and stuff like that," she says.

"No, but that's the thing: I passed that on, but I've never actually done it," counters Burruss, before adding, "That's not to say that I won't do it."

The highest freak number in the group? It might just be … Phaedra Parks. Parks admits that "I'm very familiar with the sugar. It's delicious!"

Parks explains, "I've got a pretty hot husband, so you know, I'm willing to try a few things."

Kim’s Psychic Blows Camille's Out Of The Water

Kim Zolciak’s psychic on the Real Housewives of Atlanta puts Beverly Hills housewife Camille Grammer’s psychic to shame. Archived video footage from season two showed Kim visiting her long-time seer, who is only referred to as “Rose”. In the video, Rose is shown predicting that Zolciak would have a third child—a boy—six or seven years after her youngest. Around a year has passed since Rose made this prediction, and Zolciak is five months pregnant.

The credibility of Camille Grammer’s psychic, medium Allison DuBois, was sharply called into question after an episode during which DuBois self-righteously sounded off about her abilities. Yet the medium failed to predict that Kelsey Grammer would promptly divorce her friend. During the reunion show, Andy Cohen revealed that the number one question asked by fans surrounded the credibility of Grammer’s psychic. When confronted with the issue, Grammer suggested that Dubois had inadvertently picked up on her dilemma while attempting a read of co-star Kyle Richards.
