It’s a day many fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta never dreamed they would see: NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak have buried their very contentious habit. The two are BFFs again!!! “Just had the best chat wit @Kimzolciak!” Leakes Tweeted yesterday. “Now I see @BrielleZolciak is following me! I just pulled off the road 2 cry. This is 2 much.” Added Zolciak of the chat between close pals-turned-enemies: “My heart is at such peace @neneleakes best chat ever! See u soon! #onwardandupward.” Season 2 of Kim’s spinoff, Don’t Be Tardy… , premieres April 16 on Bravo. And now the reality star has a second reason to be thrilled, as she just could not contain herself on Twitter: “I must say I am very happy too that @neneleakes and I had a heart to heart! We made a pact!” And we’re sure that pact has nothing at all to do with ratings.
The Houston Astros will open the season this Sunday, making their first appearance as an American League team after switching from the National League during the offseason. While the switch allows them an extra hitter in the form of a DH, nobody expects that to matter. Why? Because the Astros have the lowest salary in baseball. Their salary is so low, in fact, that injured third baseman Alex Rodriguez is making more than the entire team in Houston! And he may not even see the field this year! Yikes! A-Rod is the highest-payed player in the Majors, and he plays for the New York Yankees, who have had the biggest salary in baseball for fifteen years running! In fact, the Yankees have four of the top six highest-payed players on their roster, with a projected total salary of $228 million, compared to the Astros’ measly $25. The Yankees tried to void A-Rod’s contract of $29 million per year after he was under investigation for PED use. But that didn’t happen, and now Rodriguez is on the disabled list while his hip surgery recovery will keep him out for at least half the season. So the Yankees are paying almost 10 times more for their team than the Astros! Is this getting out of hand? Should Major League Baseball finally institute a salary cap? Heck yeah, level the playing field a bit! No way, the more you pay, the better you play! View Poll »
We waited for my wristband and lanyard for about 20 minutes. At this point I was teary, and everyone was looking at me like, “Er why’s she upset?” We waited, then for about another half an hour they explained to us what would be happening and they did a raffle. I was about 20th in line out of something like 150 people. Because we had to go around a corner and into a room with a curtain, I wasn’t expecting Justin to be right there. When I saw him, I startled myself and was basically hyperventilating when the curtain was drawn back for the person in front of me, but I had to keep it together. When I was asked to step in, I ran right over to him, and went on the furthest side to the curtain. Literally I was so mesmerized by his face I couldn’t look away, it was just absolutely flawless. As this was happening, I whispered, “Oh my gosh. I love you so much, thank you for all you’ve done for me,” and he replied with, “I just make music.” Then the photo was taken so quickly and I was grabbed by security. Before I went in, I was told to leave presents for Justin on a table outside but I deliberately didn’t, so when I was next to him, I said, “Can I give you this.” It was a necklace dog tag photo frame of him and his mother on the inside. He grabbed it off me and was about to give it to his bodyguard, but looked down and seen it was of him and his mum, so put it in his pocket instead. After that, I was literally on the floor SOBBING. Like I’ve never ever cried that much, I felt so sick and this time I didn’t care who was looking at me. Some girls who were standing outside the exit were congratulating me, it was so sweet the way they were genuinely happy for me. They told me that I was the only one they’d seen crying. I was then interviewed for the Sunday People and went to the concert where I caught the T-shirt Tay James threw out to the crowd. As I was really close, Justin sang, making eye contact with me for a few bars of ‘Believe’ and ‘Be Alright,’ and it was so perfect. I knew he was special and I could feel it.
