Kim Zolciak

They're sort of friends again these days, but Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes are still creating controversy for The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

According to various sources, producers are considering replacing both spoiled brats, as "things with NeNe and Kim have been intense" on and off the set.

For example, insiders claim Kim and NeNe are demanding bigger paychecks from Bravo for a new season of the series, leaving producers "fed up with their diva-esque requests." We can't blame them.

A source adds that Bravo is aware of the risk it might take if it axes two of its most popular (or, at least, well-known) stars,  but "feels it is about the franchise as a whole and won’t let one person stop it.”

Reportedly, the network is actually in the process of talking with other wealth women in the area that could fill the void left by Zolciak and Leaks' departure.

What do you think, readers? Do you wanna see these women go? Do you even believe reports such as these, or are they merely more ways for the franchise to make headlines?

God bless Kim Zolciak.

The "singer" took to the stage as The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special and "sang" Tardy for the Party, her hopeful hit "song."

Just watch and enjoy:

Stop us if you've heard this before: Kim Zolciak has split with her mystery fiance, "Big Papa."

At least night's Fox Reality Channel's Really Awards, she told Us Weekly:

"I'm not engaged anymore. Big Papa and I ended it. At the end of the day, he will always be the love of my life, but it's time for me to move on."

Is there any chance they get back together? Kim replied:"No."

As for NeNe Leakes, Kim also says that relationship is caput.

After all, earlier this year, Zolciak claimed Leakes tried to strangle her after an argument. On an episode of The Bonnie Hunt Show today, Kim said:

"She did strangle me. So that breaks a friendship, right?"

Yes. We'd definitely say so.

NeNe Leakes has no shame about her past as a stripper. Hey, she needed money. If desperate men wanted to give her case for seeing her boobs, good for them!

NeNe's co-star on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak, doesn't feel the same way, however.

New allegations claim that Kim also spent a few months as a stripper, as sources tell Fox News she worked under the moniker "Barbi" at Atlanta establishment The Cheetah Club.

"She didn’t do it for long, but was very popular among the crowd," said the insider.

A rep for Zolciak confirms hie client spent time at the club, but only "as a cocktail waitress." Kim, meanwhile, says she knows who is spreading this lie:

"I've never stripped. [My former rep] is a loose cannon spreading lies. I am not affiliated with him whatsoever."

During a recent photo shoot for Derek Blanks, The Real Housewives of Atlanta chose unusual poses for themselves.

Directed by co-star NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss - whose friends were involved in a drunk-driving accident - wanted to send a message. She did so (we guess) by posing as an intoxicated clubber that got behind the wheel... and ran into someone.

Hey, if this prevents one drunk-driving incident, we'd be shocked. And thrilled.

Take a look at Kandi, NeNe and Kim Zolciak below:

Kim Zolciak won't take her shirt off for just any reason.

Okay, that may not be accurate.

But at least The Real Housewives of Atlanta has found a good cause to go topless for: she's one of countless celebrities that have joined the NOH8 Campaign, an initiative that rallies in support of gay rights.

Why did Kim choose to take her shirt off for the organization? She had to one up rival NeNe Leakes, who simply took her shirt off for dollar bills in a former life

In the photo below, there are twice as many Kims as there are ounces of talent.

Kim Kardashian visited a club on Atlanta earlier this week and - what a coincidence! - she ran into a Real Housewife of Atlanta there.

We can only imagine what her and Kim Zolciak talked about, but we're assuming it wasn't an intellectual debate over health care...

Perhaps Kim Zolciak isn't so innocent after all.

A couple weeks after she claimed her Real Housewives of Atlanta castmate/enemy NeNe Leakes choked her during an argument, Zolciak admitted yesterday that she played a role in the tussle, as well.

Now, Kim is completely backing off her charge against NeNe, at least in the legal sense.

“I don’t have to press charges to prove a point to America,” the reality TV star told OK! magazine. “I hope NeNe in her heart she knows she made a mistake. She doesn’t have to publicly apologize — I’m sure it eats at her. ”

“She has her family, I have a family, we’re on a successful show, and I’m going to try to be the better person,” Kim said.

We're sure that will last. For at least a few minutes.

Yesterday, NeNe Leakes said Kim Zolciak was "not innocent" when it came to the recent dust-up between the Real Housewives of Atlanta co-stars.

Now, Kim is finally owning up to the role she played in a brawl between the former friends, one that concluded, allegedly, with NeNe's hands around her neck.

“I was not pleased with the stuff that’s coming out her mouth, but as far as putting your hands on somebody, absolutely not. I didn’t touch her first,” Zolciak told OK! magazine, adding/admitting:

“She put her hand in my face after she choked me the first time, and I smacked her finger out of my face... I think I was so shocked that someone would strangle me.”

Are you on Kim Zolciak side in her feud with NeNe Leakes?

Did NeNe Leakes really choke Real Housewives of Atlanta castmate Kim Zolciak a few weeks ago?

In an interview with Q100 in Atlanta this morning, NeNe didn't exactly deny the report, but she did say:

"If she was truly injured she should have filed charges... Kim is not innocent here."

Also, near the end of the discussion, Leakes actually said she won't verbally attack people anymore. We'll see how long that vow lasts for.
