It’s starting to feel like an old episode of “Oprah” out here these days…”And YOU get a show! And YOU get a show! And YOU get a show!” Long story short, Nene Leakes now has her own show — this time about her remarrying ex-hubby Geritol Gregg. Via US Weekly reports : NeNe Leakes is unstoppable! Like Bethenny Frankel and Kim Zolciak before her, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star and New Normal actress, 45, has landed her own Bravo reality spinoff series in honor of her upcoming nuptials. Debuting this fall, I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding will follow NeNe as she gears up to marry — again! — ex-husband Gregg Leakes. As fans of RHOA know, NeNe and Gregg, 58, divorced back in 2011 after 13 years of marriage. The couple share son Brentt, 13, and initially parted ways after Gregg claimed “fame got to her head,” and that he invested $300,000 in NeNe’s fledgling acting career. They reconciled, and announced their engagement back in January. In I Dream of NeNe , cameras will follow the over-the-top housewife as she works with — and butts heads with — celebrity wedding planner Tiffany Cook. Bridal party members, according to a press release, will include castmate Cynthia Bailey and controversial featured guest star Marlo Hampton. NeNe also strives to bury the hatchet with Gregg’s children from previous relationships — and with her own, estranged father, Curtis. It’s the third wedding-inspired housewife spinoff from Bravo. Bethenny Frankel broke away from Real Housewives of New York with her series Bethenny Getting Married, which eventually morphed into Bethenny Ever After. (She and husband Jason Hoppy have since filed for divorce.) NeNe’s on-again, off-again RHOA pal Kim Zolciak and husband Kroy Biermann also starred in a similar show, Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding. Now called Don’t Be Tardy , the series’ second season debuted earlier this week. Congrats to Nene… We won’t miss this one. She knows how to entertain. Will you be watching?
It’s about cotdamn time!!! Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries May Settle Divorce Tomorrow According to TMZ reports : Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries could settle their never-ending divorce case as early as tomorrow … TMZ has learned. The fleeting lovebirds are both ordered to appear in court tomorrow for a settlement conference. The big hang-up is that Kris has been fighting for an annulment based on alleged fraud, and Kim has steadfastly refused to go down that road. She wants a clean, simple divorce. Sources close to Kris say there are various factors that are softening his position, including: – There’s an ironclad prenup, if the case goes to trial Kris will get NO money from Kim (although as we previously reported Kris has demanded $7 mil from her — good luck with that). – After all the depositions and legal docs flying back and forth, no evidence has surfaced showing Kim defrauded Kris — and that goes to the heart of his claim. – Kris is about to get nailed with monetary sanctions for being a no-show at the last hearing and, in the process, he’s pissed off the judge who would be presiding over the divorce trial. – If the case goes to trial and Kris loses, he could be in the hole for as much as a million bucks in attorney’s fees. Sources tell us each side has already racked up $300k in lawyer’s fees, and they’ll spend another $200k if the case goes to trial. We broke the story, if the case goes to trial and Kim wins, she’ll ask the judge to make Kris pay HER lawyer’s fees. Our sources say it’s by no means a done deal that the case is going to settle tomorrow, but as one source put it, “Kris is opening his eyes a little bit, and what he sees doesn’t look good.” We won’t count any chickens, but this divorce has been goin’ on WAY too long. It’s time for Kris to let it go already and get ready for the NBA playoffs. If it’s any consolation, most people already assume that the marriage was a sham in the first place. Image via WENN

The literary piece, tentatively titled, Saving Sanders: The Pilar Sanders Untold Story, is being co-written by Sanders’ longtime friend and publicist, Kali Bowyer. The book will detail what Pilar has described as her abusive marriage to NFL legend, Deion Sanders. While Deion has maintained that he never physically abused Pilar during their time together, the reality TV beauty is sticking by her story. “I want to be a mentor to other women who have been abused, by sharing my story, my struggles and letting them in, it will not only help heal myself but others experiencing the same trials and struggles as well,” she tells HH exclusively. “There are thousands of women fighting for their rights, their children and their own identity out there.

I will continue my fight as long as I walk this earth, and with Jesus at my side all will prevail,” she proclaimed during our chat. Bowyer tells HH that the book will be the “true, uncut story about the abuse Pilar endured, how she built an empire with him, and how he cheated on her.” Oh boy. Just went it seemed that this entire situation couldn’t get any messier , Pilar sounds like she’s about to put dirty-dog Deion on full blast in the worst way possible. Hell hath no fury…
Another RHOA scandal … Kordell Stewart Accused Of Picking Up Gay Men Poor Porsha! Not only is the reality banger facing an epic divorce with her estranged husband former NFL baller Kordell Stewart , it looks like his once secret gay past is coming to bite him in the azz… and not in the good way he might like. Via Obnoxious TV reports: “A male usher at Philips Arena said that Kordell Stewart came on to him the last time he attended a Hawks game. According to the usher, who would like to remain nameless, Kordell asked him what was up and asked for his phone number so they could hook up sometime when he is not at work. The usher said he smiled and played off because he was very uncomfortable by what Kordell said and how he was looking at him, but he was at work and had to be cool.” Kordell has been dogged by down low rumors his entire football career and now with a mounting divorce, those rumors are only going to get louder. Do you think Kordell’s gay ways are one of the reasons he and Porsha couldn’t make it last forever??
It was only a matter of time. The rumored remix of Beyoncé’s “I Been On” track is hear, featuring Bun B, Z-Ro, Scarface, Willie D, Slim Thug and Lil KeKe, making this an H-Town All-Star affair. Continue
Kordell might be the baller, but Porsha knows a thing or two about going on the offensive! Things are heating up in the divorce proceedings between Porsha and Kordell Stewart . Via TMZ reports : Porsha Williams is returning fire against her estranged husband Kordell Stewart … filing an official response to Stewart’s divorce docs, claiming she gave up her life to take care of Kordell’s son from another woman … and he needs to pay. TMZ broke the story … Stewart blindsided Williams with divorce papers this week, claiming Porsha doesn’t deserve a dime in spousal support because she is capable of earning her own income. But according to the new legal docs, filed by Porsha’s attorney Randall Kessler, Porsha’s marriage set her way back professionally … because she quit her job for two years while they were married (and even sold her businesses) in order to care for Kordell’s kid from another woman. Porsha doesn’t mention the fact that she’s currently starring on “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” According to the docs, Porsha’s not only demanding alimony from Stewart … she also wants exclusive use of the family’s Atlanta home. Porsha’s rep told us Porsha had held off on filing her own divorce papers because Kordell had promised to work on the marriage with her … but now, the gloves are off. Kandi Burruss recently revealed that Porsha had told her she didn’t have a prenup, which means Kordell could be in deep debt to Porsha soon enough. And he probably knows it too cuz he’s already looking like a bitter ex-hubby on Instagram thanks to this post earlier this week: Boy stop…
He needs to stay in Vegas… because when the cat is away… the cat gets beaten to bits by a no named rapper who posts pictures on blogs of the incident. mrworldpremiere nbc

Kimora Lee Simmons is opening up about life after her split with Djimon and her “fabulous” life… In an interview with Daily Mail Kimora runs her mouth about pretty much everything. Peep the quotes: On Her Big Personality And Career: Kimora Lee Simmons could never be described as a woman who does things by halves. Big hair, big heels, big attitude: as she herself says, ‘I have a really big mouth, I have a lot of opinions and I will be heard.’ It’s a tactic which has propelled her from being the only child of a single mother growing up in St Louis, Missouri, to becoming a Chanel runway model at 13, girlfriend (and subsequent wife) of hip hop mogul Russell Simmons at 17 and now president and creative director of the online fashion website, JustFab. As she herself explains: ‘I’m very determined, honest, open and definitely very energetic. I expect a lot as a boss and I’m very demanding, but I ask that of myself too.’ ‘After Life in the Fab Lane [Kimora’s previous show] which had sprinklings of my family life in it, I really wanted to show the workings of an office and how a team works together to build a brand,’ she says, altogether softer and more quiet than her on-screen persona. ‘It’s like The Office,’ she says, referring to the Ricky Gervais-inspired series, ‘but a lot more organized.’ On Her Weight: Part of her appeal to women lies in her self-confidence and her positive body image (admittedly not difficult to muster when you’re as striking as she is), ‘but I’ve faced rejection time and time again and I’ve been lots of different sizes,’ she says. ‘I’ve had times when I’ve been much bigger and much smaller so that you could see my ribs and I look back at some pictures and it was awful to me. But it’s all OK because I’m comfortable with myself now. It’s about being healthy and active and having a crazy schedule and running after my three kids, so I probably eat very sporadically – lots of smaller meals and snacks. It’s just about having an active lifestyle.’ On Fabulosity: It has spawned books (Fabulosity: What It Is and How to Get It) and perfumes (Baby Phat Fabulosity) and, says Kimora, ‘I came up with that phrase many years ago and people just seem to love it. It’s about knowing that we come with so much that is already fabulous but knowing also that we can always improve and be better. ‘It’s not about how skinny you are or how much money or how many diamonds you have – that’s the fluff that people sometimes look at as being the main thing. It’s about understanding that the things that make you fabulous are all inside of you.’ On Her Childhood: Growing up an only child in Missouri, Kimora was still a young girl when her parents separated, leaving her mother, Joanne Perkins, to raise her alone. ‘A lot of my ideals come from my mom,’ she says, ‘and seeing what she sacrificed for me and how hard she worked definitely shaped me.’ Did her mother constantly tell her she was fabulous? ‘Well, I think people used different words for it back then!’ Kimora laughs. ‘But she was definitely the prototype of strong womanhood for me and it’s where I get a lot of my determination from.’ Her exotic ancestry (Kimora is of Korean, Japanese and African-American descent) meant that growing up in the Midwest in the mid-Seventies and Eighties presented its own particular set of problems. ‘I was bullied and picked on because I was so different to everyone else,’ she says, ‘and I definitely didn’t believe or even know I was fabulous back then. But those hard times made me everything I am today. It’s all water under the bridge now, but being bullied and going through adversity definitely made me stronger.’ To improve Kimora’s confidence, her mother enrolled her in a modelling class when she was ten years old and after embarking on her modelling career at the age of 13, Kimora was chosen by Karl Lagerfeld to model for Chanel, where she went on to walk the runways of Paris, Milan and New York. ‘That was a real turning point for me,’ admits Kimora, ‘because everything that people considered weird about me before, well, suddenly Karl Lagerfeld said it was OK. He’s one of the biggest names in fashion, so all of a sudden it gave me a validity and introduced me to a whole other world.’ On Her Relationships: By the time she had turned 17, Kimora had already caught the eye of Russell Simmons, co-founder of the Def Jam label as well as creator of the Phat Farm clothing line (Kimora is former creative director and co-founder of its subsidiary, Baby Phat). She married him at 23 and though the couple separated in 2006, Simmons occasionally pops up in Kimora’s various TV shows with their two daughters Ming, now 13, and Aoki, ten. Kimora subsequently went on to marry actor Djimon Hounsou (best known for his roles in Blood Diamond and Amistad) and although they have a three-year-old son Kenzo, the couple separated at the end of last year. She deftly sidesteps the reasons as to why her five-year union with Hounsou didn’t last, but says: ‘Relationships do change throughout the course of your life and I always think in terms of relationships changing and evolving rather than starting and stopping. ‘Kids never go away from your life and if you’ve been married, that person probably never goes away either. You never get rid of anyone and,’ she laughs, ‘they never really get rid of you!’ Although she says she is on friendly terms with her ex-husbands, she admits: ‘Gosh, it’s not always so easy, but I try to do everything from the viewpoint of what’s best for my kids. I have three kids and two great dads and it’s not always easy, but you have to try to be a little selfless and we manage just fine.’ On Dating: Though Kimora was recently linked with heavyweight boxer Malik ‘King’ Scott, she says now: ‘I’m not with anyone at the moment – it’s just my kids and their two dads I guess’ and one wonders whether all that rampant fabulosity might not be a touch intimidating for some men. ‘Well, I think they are sometimes [intimidated],’ she admits, ‘but men are intimidated by a lot of things, you know, such as jobs and bit of determination. They have a lot of insecurities about who we are, what we have, what we look like, what we’ve accomplished and what we’re capable of because we’re fabulous and capable of doing so much and juggling so much every day. ‘People might be mad I’m saying this, but [men] do have a lot of hang-ups. But that shouldn’t deter you ladies from being great! You don’t have to dumb down – you just have to find a clever, good, secure man. I’ve found a couple – I’ve been lucky – but it’s probably hard for everybody to find that true love of a good man.’ On Growing Up Too Fast: ‘Oh my gosh, I did,’ she exclaims. ‘I was modelling at ten, I married very young and I’ve done everything pretty early. I always joke that I’ve had several midlife crises already! I’ve definitely made mistakes along the way,’ she admits, ‘but I’ve got a good head on my shoulders and,’ she adds in a rare moment of understated fabulosity, ‘things have turned out pretty well so far.’ Have you been watching Kimora’s newest show? Who do you think she’ll get with next? We have a feeling that this Djimon business still ain’t really OVER.
