The cute couple were joined by CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin, and walked the fundraiser with the “LemonAIDS,” a team of 58 friends who raise money and walk/run each year for the Atlanta AIDS Walk/5K run that benefits AID Atlanta.

Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta shed her inhibitions (and most of her clothes) recently in a sexy new photo shoot for Rolling Out Magazine.
Burruss, who recently launched “Bedroom Kandi,” her own line of sex toys, will be featured on an upcoming cover of the magazine and the Atlanta “housewife” has a whole lot on her plate right now.
In addition to being a single mom to 9 year old daughter Riley and star of Bravo’s most watched reality show; Kandi has been granted her OWN show where she’ll be seeking undiscovered talent.

Kandi was also joined on the set by celebrity hairstylist Derek J, who recently held a grand RE-opening of his J-Spot salon in Atlanta (click HERE if you missed that).

Kim Zolciak and her baby daddy boy toy Falcons player Kroy Biermann got engaged recently and have already set a date for the wedding.
The two will tie the knot in Roswell, Georgia on November 11, 2011. How do I know, you ask?
Because Kim tweeted the news that her invites had leaked online, pretty much alerting everyone to go look for them because they were out there.
Kim said she’s banning cameras from she and Kroy’s wedding because “the invites miraculously appeared online within 24 hours.”
…but within 24 hours of what?
24 hours of YOU sending them out? 24 hours of YOU ordering/purchasing them? What?
Apparently Kim was the first person to see the invites online so I suspect that either Kim or someone under her direction (not sweetie cause she fired her a while ago) may also have been the one to have profited from the leak.
Just a thought. 😕
Check out a closer look at Kim & Kroy’s wedding invitations under the cut… Continue Reading…
Grammy-award winning Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta came through in ‘all Black everything’ looking mah-velous as usual.
As you know, Kandi has several ventures in the works.? She recently launched her own line of sex toys called “Bedroom Kandi” and she’s also been given the green light for production of her new talent search themed reality show on Bravo.? There’s always big thangs poppin when you’ve got talent on your side.
On another note, Marlo Hampton was on of the first to hit the steps of Derek’s new shop and the first to post up in front of the cameras.
[Sidebar: I heard Kandi made sure to arrive AFTER Marlo had left the scene so she wouldn’t have to deal with any photo ops.)
I dropped the bomb last night Bravo’s decision NOT to had Marlo to the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and she’s trying to milk every last second of her “housewives” status before y’all realize what I’m saying is true.
Apparently Marlo didn’t make the cut after Bravo execs determined it was too much of a legal risk to have her arguing and fighting on air after her violent past was revealed (Hampton slashed a some girls face open with a razor in a fight over a man and the girl almost bled to death).

You read it here first that Marlo was going to be a new edition to the RHOA cast and she was often seen taping with the ladies over the summer.
Marlo even traveled with the ladies on their South African get-away, so we all just KNEW she was made in the shade. Even the AJC fell for it…
[READ: Confirmed Marlo Hampton is Atlanta’s Newest Housewife…]
But as I said in my first post, no papers had been signed so Marlo was merely being tested and apparently she failed… miserably!
Marlo may tell you differently (she’s been telling everyone she talks to that she’s a Real Housewife of Atlanta) BUT rewind… pause… backup!
Since I never want to be accused of spreading the wrong information, I want to be the first to set the record straight about Marlo Hampton!

The 6th annual event coincided with the BET Hip-Hop Awards weekend and other attendees included Memphitz & Toya, Carlysia Levert (daughter of the late Gerald Levert), SoSo Def’s Dondria, Tiffany Evans and more.
It’s not secret that Phaedra and Apollo are my favorite RHOA couple. I was rooting for a P&A spin-off but I guess Kim, NeNe and ‘nem have reality show seniority over the high powered entertainment attorney/funeral parlor entrepreneur.
You may have heard by now that the newly engaged Kim Zolciak has her own show (that’s already in production), Kandi Burruss has her own show (where she’ll be making more one hit wonders), and NeNe Leakes was granted her own show too (that starts taping soon).
That leaves Phaedra, Sheree & Cynthia (and Marlo) to all fend for themselves and I vote that they recruit a few new “housewives” for the show. Ya know… to add some more fresh faces to the crew.
[Sidebar: Tameka Foster Glover Raymond gets my vote!]
