NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak may get dumped from Real Housewives of Atlanta

The “Real Housewives” of Atlanta will be back for a third season — well, most of them.

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.”

Barry Bonds career finally over?

Uh, I was under the impression that Barry Bonds was either hiding in seclusion on Alcatraz or 6 feet under somewhere with Jimmy Hoffa.

But apparently not….His agent now declares that his career is over. Wow, thanks for that little tidbit of info. I guess we can all move on with our lives.

Bonds has insisted he won’t retire, leaving open the possibility that he might yet catch on with another team. But that hasn’t happened, and his agent doubts that it ever will, according to the report.

“It’s two years since he played his last game, and if there was any chance he’d be back in a major-league uniform, it would have happened by now,” his agent, Jeff Borris, said Wednesday, according to the report.

Barry, let me save you some time here buddy. No team in their right mind is bringing you on. In fact, no minor league team would even use you as a gimmick to bring in more fans. You know what, let me go one step further…we need a guy for our office softball team in the spring. I’d rather go with Milton, our resident fat slob that can’t breathe normally because he has a doughnut permanently lodged in his esophagus.

How’s that make you feel?

Did Anyone See Bad Girls Club Last Night?

I just got through watching the new season of Bad Girls Club. Those girls are an absolute mess!!! WTF was up with Natalie? I don't know what got under my skin more--her saying Rihanna deserved to get hit, or her yelling, "This is L.A., I run this town." Just wondering...Is that why the bouncers didn't know her at AREA, a has-been club? I can't stand her--she's absolutely insane.

My friends make fun of me for liking this show--but honestly, who doesn't like to watch a good trainwreck? This whole show is basically about getting drunk, fighting, and one-upping. It's trashy, but it's funny.

And yes, I actually feel myself getting dumber and dumber when I watch.

Did anyone see it? Thoughts?

Snoop Wants To Takeover Oprah

Snoop wants to take over Oprah's spot when she steps down--and his answer to hitting the female demo? His wife. He said, "I'm trying to proposition the networks right now. If you're wanting to hire a nice black exciting young male who wants to turn the TV world right up - get at me. I heard Oprah Winfrey is leaving and there ain't nobody do what Oprah did but ahem - hello! hello! And I can bring my wife on so we can have the women and the men on there discussing things."

Um, that's probably the funniest thing I've heard all day! What the hell will his wife be on the show? A support ho?

Did he forget that his last talk show for MTV sucked??? I'm all for Snoop on anything..but to takeover Oprah??? He's high.

Jaimie Hilfiger again, this time in a bikini

Remember back a week or so ago when I introduced you to Jaimie Hilfiger, the niece of Tommy Hilfiger? No? Well, I did. Anyhoo, Jaimie has apparently figured out that if you pose in a bikini on a beach you can stay in the public eye. It’s a tried and true approach that has been done almost to perfection by Sophie Monk, my current favorite nobody who looks good in a bikini. Let’s just hope that by posting these photos it will encourage her to continue her ruse of actually being someone famous.

David Hasselhoff rushed to hospital after suffering seizure

David Hasselhoff was reportedly rushed to the hospital from his Los Angeles-area home Friday after suffering a seizure, according to RadarOnline.com.

The former “Baywatch” star was taken to Cedars-Sinai medical center after daughter Hayley called 911, a source told the Web site.

“Paramedics were called to the (address omitted) in Encino for medical aid,” Los Angeles City Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said. “Paramedics arrived at approximately 11:51 a.m. and later transported the patient a nearby hospital.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if alcohol consumption caused the incident. Hasselhoff has publicly struggled with alcoholism, and had been drinking “both before and after Thanksgiving,” according to RadarOnline.

Hasselhoff was hospitalized in late September due to alcohol poisoning after taping a season of “America’s Got Talent,” on which he is a judge. In November he appeared drunk while serving as a presenter during the MTV Europe Music Awards.
