Kim Zolciak to Kelly Bensimon: "Grow Up"

Kim Zolciak had some strong words for Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon on Twitter today -- but then she apparently took them back.

The pregnant Real Housewives of Atlanta star tweeted: "How disgusting Kelly from RHONY to make comments about my unborn child and Kroy! Grow up and keep my name outta ur mouth!" (Real Housewives gossiping about each other? Shocking!)

Kim removed the post from her Twitter page just a few minutes later, but it was too late. A few of her fans had already retweeted the message to their followers.

(Lesson for Kim: Once you put something in the Twitterverse, you just can't take it back.)

Kim Zolciak Shares Intimate Pregnancy Photo

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak is due to give birth in just a few weeks and decided to share personal pregnancy photos of herself and boyfriend Kroy Biermann with Life & Style.

The reality star admitted she doesn't feel attractive at this stage of the pregnancy, but dad-to-be Biermann is taking good care of her.

"He thinks I'm sexy," Zolciak said of Biermann, who plays for the Atlanta Falcons. "He makes me feel beautiful."

"He's just been the best partner," she continued. "This pregnancy has kicked my butt, and now I'm at the stage where I'm uncomfortable."

And while Zolciak has let the Bravo cameras document many moments of her life, the Housewives star has nixed the idea of reality cameras in the delivery room.

"It's a very personal moment," she said. "I just want to share it with Kroy."

Are NeNe & Kim Both Getting Spin-offs?

The women of Real Housewives of Atlanta are busy filming season 4, which so far has included a baby shower for Kim Zolciak. Meanwhile, the show's two biggest stars -- arch enemies NeNe Leakes and Zolciak -- are in talks to headline their own spin-off series on Bravo, sources tell The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Leakes' series would follow her as she moves to L.A. and tries to break into Hollywood; Zolciak's series would chronicle her life with NFL player Kroy Biermann and their new baby.

Of course, the network doesn't want them both to leave the mother show; they are the two most prominent personalities of the group, after all.

But keeping them both in the original show may be even more problematic. "The two no longer trust each other, much less like each other," writes The Atlanta Journal Constitution's radio and TV blogger Rodney Ho. "This dynamic must be creating challenges for Bravo producers shooting season four, since they want to maximize interaction among the six cast members while Kim and NeNe probably want to spend as little time face to face as possible."

Odds are that Leakes would be the one to make the break for good. Like Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York, Leakes has parlayed her Houswives notoriety into other Hollywood gigs -- such as her current, high-profile stint on The Celebrity Apprentice -- and exploited the media exposure at every turn. That includes a big-time feud with Star Jones, which spilled over beyond the reality series when Leakes made the talk show rounds, complaining about Jones.

No doubt, some may say that The Real Housewives franchise has reached a saturation point, and there's no need for another spin-off. But producers can simply point out that The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the most popular one of all of them. Since it averages about 4 million viewers a week, largely on the draw of stars like Zolciak and Leakes, then maybe these women could carry their own shows. As far as TV execs are concerned, there's only one way to find out.

Inside Kim Zolciak's 'Perfect' Baby Shower

On April 17, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak hosted one of the classiest baby showers the city's ever seen! "I put so much time into making it perfect," Kim said while giving Life & Style an exclusive look inside her dream day. "I'm really happy."

A seven-months-pregnant Kim, 32, sported an undeniable glow in a floor-sweeping gown by Rafael Cennamo when she and her boyfriend of a year, NFL star Kroy Biermann, 25, invited 110 of their closest family and friends to celebrate the couple's first child. "I really wanted the baby shower to be special for Kroy," says Kim, "this being his first baby -- and a boy."

Guests, including Kim's Real Housewives of Atlanta castmates Phaedra Parks and Sheree Whitfield, noshed on mini crab cakes and delicious treats, including "baby boy" Oreo cookies.

During the gorgeously over-the-top event, planned by Wedding Soiree, the reality star was bursting with excitement. But Kim, who has two daughters from a previous marriage, says she's entering uncharted territory. "I just don't know what to do with a boy -- I'm all girls!" she tells Life & Style. "But I hear the bond of a mother and son is like no other."

Kim Zolciak Turns Down New York For Athens

Kim Zolciak is coming.

She was supposed to be in New York this week, filming footage for the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

But then Corey McCants decided to organize Athens Fashion Week, track down the phone number of Justin Jones, Zolciak’s agent, and asked if she would be interested in coming to Athens.

She said yes. The ask was a logical one for McCants.

Fellow Housewives Phaedra Parks and NeNe Leaks may be Athens natives, but:

“Kim Zolciak is fashion, in her own right,” McCants said.

Trailing her will be a crew for Bravo, as well as photographers and bloggers.

McCants said he expects people to appear from across the country, just to snap a picture of Zolciak — who is, fortuitously, near giving birth, which only increases her star value.

The increased exposure has been beneficial to the week. For one, the possibility of national exposure — even incidentally — has been persuasive for possible sponsors, said Nicole McClellan, public relations chair for the week.

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann's Baby Shower

Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Kim Zolciak and her guy Kroy Biermann celebrated the impending arrival of their baby with a shower over the weekend.

“Huge thank you to my love Kim Zolciak for such a special and wonderful baby shower for our son!” Falcons player Kroy Biermann tweeted following the festivities.

The gossip site Media Take Out posted numerous photos. Other “Housewives” in attendance included Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss but Media Take Out said NeNe Leakes, Zolciak’s frequent sparring partner, did not get invited.

Chances are whoever leaked the pictures will be barred from future fetes.

“Wow I invite a “friend” to the shower and she releases pics to the press!” Zolciak complained via Twitter. “Unreal!”

All 6 RHOA Set To Be Back For Season Four

Not surprisingly, the Real Housewives of Atlanta will be back for a fourth season. And Bravo is keeping the same six women: NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield, Kim Zolciak, Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey.

This is the first season where they have chosen to make no change.

And despite rumors of Kim or NeNe leaving for spinoffs, Andy Cohen is sticking with what’s worked already. The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the most popular “Housewives” franchise, averaging nearly 3 million viewers per episode last season, up from 2.7 million season two.

(Word is that “Real Housewives of D.C.” is already gone after one season. It’s unclear if “Miami” will merit a second season.)

Production for Atlanta is supposed to begin this month. Given how cold the relationship has become between Kim and NeNe, will they have any desire to reconcile again?

Kim Never Wants To Speak To NeNe Again

As pregnant Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak gets closer to her due date, her on-going feud with cast mate NeNe Leakes is starting to takes its toll on her.

"NeNe has problems. I never want to speak to her again," Zolciak told Life & Style in an exclusive interview after she got wind of a "Free Sweetie" radio campaign launched by Leakes. The campaign refers to Sweetie, Zolciak's assistant.

"To have all these T-shirts and posters being made, it's disgusting," she added.

"She's a big, big liar, and I have a problem with liars," Leakes responded to L&S about Zolciak, who is due to give birth in June. Don't expect Leakes to send over any presents when the big day arrives though.

"I'm not interested in seeing the baby, and I have no plans to send a gift," Leakes said. "Absolutely no plans at all."

Kim & Kroy Looking For New Digs In Roswell

Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Kim Zolciak and her new beau Kroy Biermann have been fishing for fancy new digs as they get ready to have a baby together.

They are currently in talks to lease a property in Roswell with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, according to the real estate agent Rebecca Currie. Brielle, Kim’s daughter, Tweeted about the property earlier this month.

The 11,000 square feet home on two acres is currently for sale at an asking price of $3.25 million. The couple originally made a lower offer earlier this month, but it was rejected. Currie told me today she’d love for someone to buy the house, which is owned by a retired athlete. But a rental is better than keeping it empty.

The home has been for sale for nearly six months under its current owners. I did a little research and found the home is owned by former NBA player Antonio Davis and his wife Kendra and we featured it on our website last year. Davis played for the Pacers, Raptors and Bulls between 1993 and 2006.

Zolciak is due with her third child in June. She met Biermann, a Falcons defensive end, last spring at a charity event. They hooked up almost immediately, enabling Zolciak to dump Lee Najjar, best known as “Big Poppa.” Biermann’s livelihood is threatened by the current NFL lockout. If the season does happen, he is set to get paid $555,000.
