On last night’s Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding, we are (yea!) one week closer to Kim Zolciak’s wedding extravaganza!  There is vow writing, there is portable toilet shopping, and there is a potentially faux peace treaty forged between Kim and her wedding-ruining mother.

Can I just say that K.J. is a Kroy Biermann mini-me?  I love the premise of Kim talking to him at the start of each show.  That skull and crossbones knit cap is just too much!

Kim is wearing a belly baring pleather shirt and meeting up with her Uncle John who apparently lives in my neck of the woods.  She starts in on her mother, and John is quick to remind her that she’s about to talk crap about his sister.  Kim shares that her mom is threatening to be sick on her wedding day, and John reminds her that she is very particular.  Kim’s mom Karen informed John of her threats, and John reveals that his sister is no longer talking to him after he put in his two cents.  Wait, did Kim just spit out some gum at the table?  John believes that Kim and Karen are too similar, hence the tension.  The pair gets teary remembering John’s battle with cancer and how he promised not to leave her until she was married.  Kim asks him to accompany her dad in walking her down the aisle.  Wow, Kim has a heart on this show!

Kim leaves Kroy little notes about his tight a$$.  How romantic!  The couple is excited to ask Kroy’s former Falcon and current motivational speaker Coy to marry the pair.  She is reading some suggested vows, and in no way shape or form does Kim want any negativity (read: poverty passages) read in her wedding.  Coy arrives, and upon their request he seems overwhelmed to be performing his first marriage ceremony.  Kim admits that she isn’t keen on writing her own vows, but Kroy has already started penning his sentiments.  Coy basically tells Kim she better find some inspiration.

From vow writing to porta-potty rentals, this show has it all!  Kim and Derek J go looking for porta-lets.  Derek J can’t understand why Kim just won’t let the guests use her indoor bathrooms.  He is wearing a fierce poncho, by the way.  Who knew there were so many possibilities when it comes to outdoor urination?  I’ll tell you who…two of my best friends who worked for a company called Little John post-college.  I can’t make this stuff up.  Bathrooms are rented, so it’s back to writing vows for the multitasking Kim.  Her youngest daughter Ariana may need to become a professional vow author.  Kim’s matron of honor Jen arrives with Panera to help her friend.  Kim has total writer’s block because she doesn’t think it’s appropriate to talk about Kroy’s backside in the ceremony.  Basically Jen has her penning traditional vows, only “in sickness and in health” is replaced with “whether we’re illin’ or chillin’.”  Loves it!

Kim meets with her stylist Shun, and both are hoping that Kim’s mom will show up for her fitting.  Her mother and father arrive, and there is an awkward gift exchange.  Karen brings the couple a gift basket, full of–what else?–wine glasses.  Her mother is trying on dresses for the wedding.  Why are they all white?  Kim’s dad apparently carries around his wedding photo in his wallet.  Kim’s dad declares a mother-of-the-bride dress “the one” while Kim tries to get her dad’s take on her mother’s recent tantrums.  Her father reveals that Karen feels as if she’s not needed because Kim hasn’t asked her for any help when all Karen wanted to do was help and contribute.

Ariana and Brielle are discussing their future weddings.  Brielle wants cheeseburgers at her reception, while Ariana’s color scheme will be purple and hot pink.  While I think cheeseburgers at a reception sound a-freakin-mazing, it’s clear that the daughters don’t fall far from the wig.

Kroy relays to Kim’s father that the pair is worried that her mom may cause drama at the wedding.  Kim decides to share her concerns with Karen, and Kim promises that she didn’t want to hurt her mom’s feelings by excluding her from Colin Cowie’s tasting, she just wanted the decision to be between her and Kroy.  Her mother only wanted to be included.  Kim rehashes her mother’s “sick on the wedding day” text, and Kim’s father demands an apology from his wife for Kim.  She says she’s sorry, but let’s all agree it wasn’t sincere.  I kind of feel bad for Kim’s mom.  She just wants to help.

Next week, Jen thinks Kim’s boobs are too “On Display” (you’re welcome for the plug, Melissa Gorga!), and Kim is sad when Jen is MIA for wedding planning.  She’s called out by Colin Cowie’s assistant for drinking before noon (hello!  It’s five o’ clock somewhere), and cries to Kandi Burruss (sweet crossover, Bravo!) about Jen’s absence.  Kroy takes it upon himself to scold Jen.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE?  SHOULD KIM FORGIVE HER MOTHER?  HECK, SHOULD SHE LET GUESTS USE HER ACTUAL BATHROOMS?

Yesterday was quite a day for Kim Zolciak! The Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding star’s garage caught on fire!

TMZ reports that the Roswell Fire Department got a call around 9:35am yesterday morning to send a truck to the scene where a four-wheeler was burning. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire and no one was hurt.

I would make a joke about white trash and four-wheelers catching on fire, because I’m from WV and can do things like that – but house fires are serious. Let’s just say: good thing no one was injured and the house didn’t end up in flames.

Kim tweeted her appreciation, “Shout out to Roswell Fire Dept for their quick response this morning God is always on my side! #grateful!” We’re grateful too.

THOUGHTS ON THE NEWS?

It’s just four days until the fantasy nuptials of the future Mr. and Mrs. Kroy Biermann.  As the time runs out, drama amps up…but it’s no longer mama drama on Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding.  Jen has become the MOH who is MIA.

Just like with every episode, the show begins with Kim Zolciak talking to the adorbs K.J. She is complaining to him about how lax her matron-of-honor Jen is being, and he is just giggling away in his Spiderman hoodie.  Kim can’t dwell on slack attendants for long, she has tent issues to worry about.  Severe tent issues that drive her to drink white zinfandel before lunchtime.  Kim has visions of covering the pool and and getting hitched under a gazebo which will sit atop the jacuzzi.  She never ever ever ever had dreams of a tent in her backyard to shield guests from potential bad weather.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR THE REST!

Kim relays this problem to wedding planner/Cowie assistant Alexis, whose crew is constructing the said tent.  Alexis tries to placate Kim, but her face is screaming, “No amount of Bravo publicity and screen time is worth this bridezilla!”  Kim yells for her assistant Sweetie Niki to do something.  Anything!  Niki says what Kim is thinking.  That tent is ON CRACK.  Poor Alexis doesn’t know what’s going on, but before she can say “wigging out” the tent is being taken down.  Kim is happy to eat the $15,000 it cost to reserve it, as long as she doesn’t have to wed under it. If only Jen were here…Kim would have yet another person to hear her bitching.

In the next scene, we learn that Kim doesn’t have nasty gum drop sized nipples.  That was definitely on my “things I wonder about” list.  She is planning a wedding gift for Kroy, and she doesn’t want to do the typical, cheesy boudouir photo shoot.  She wants to something sexy.  I must have really prudish friends, because they all seemed to get cufflinks for their grooms-to-be.  Kim, on the other hand, is having Kroy’s jersey painted (yes, painted) on her naked body so she can take some classy pics to give her future hubby.  Hence why we need to know the size of Kim’s nips.

Jen arrives to the body paint session, and Kim is tired of hearing her jokes.  She is even less thrilled when Alexis calls to relay the news that the florist has backed out at the last minute.  Adding insult to injury, Jen takes a phone call midway through Kim’s rude florist rant and hits the road.  The nerve!  Kim can’t believe how much stress she’s forced to endure, but she must power through with the photo shoot.  I am beyond impressed that they glued a little jersey fabric to her hip so it looks like it’s knotted.  Oh details.  Her photographer is Derrick Blanks of the famed RHOA Alter Ego shoot.  Kim is so sexy she just says “Cheese.”  I love a great one-liner, a la KZB.

En route to her surprise bridal shower, Kim is blindfolded.  Kim is thrilled to be there, but she’s disappointed that Jen isn’t in attendance.  But guess who is?  Kandi Burrus is in the house!  Unfortunately Sheree is home sick.  Poor Kroy’s mom and sister have plastered on polite faces, but they almost slip up and show their disgust when Kim brandishes cell phone shots of her nekkid jersey pics.  Yes, that’s right.  She showed her sexy-time photos to the woman who birthed the groom.  Thankfully Mrs. Biermann refrains from fainting, but I am counting the minutes until she passes out cold in light of all of this lingerie and talk of Kim’s breastatas.  I hope someone has some smelling salts for the sweet lady when Kim opens up her gift from Kandi.  Kim seems to have a moment of clarity, and she refuses to open Kandi’s pandora’s box of sin and flavored lube (just a guess).  Her mother peeks into the bag and confirms it should not be opened anywhere near Mrs. Biermann.  I think I saw Sis Biermann roll her eyes.  The Montana contingent bestows upon Kim some apple butter made by the folks at the Methodist Church.  Surely she realizes it’s for the pantry and not the bedroom, right?

Kim takes Kandi aside to share her Matron of Honor woes.  She’s in tears at the fact that Kandi drove an hour and a half to attend the shower, but her best friend can’t even call.  Her feelings are very hurt understandably.  Kim wishes she had asked Kandi to be in the wedding party, but it would be great if she’s sing for the couple at the reception.  Um… That evening, Kroy gets a play-by-play of absentee Jen’s dysfunction.  Crying again, Kroy tries to comfort his blushing bride.  It’s not about planning parties or helping Colin Cowie–she wants to share this experience with her best friend.  There is a cute scene where Brielle and Ariana fight over K.J.  He truly is super presh.

The couple hits up a local arcade/go-kart facility with the entire bridal party.  All of Kroy’s groomsmen from Montana are in the ATL, and even Jen is kind enough to show for the fun.  Kim, of course, is too upset to speak to her friend so she asks Kroy to talk to her instead.  I’m seeing a slight pattern here.  Kim thanks assistant Niki for being such a huge help and support during the wedding planning.  Kroy confronts Jen, and every time she tries to defend herself, he kindly continues to talk over her.  He really is super polite when getting her point across.  Jen believes it would be best if she left.

Next week, Kim receives a tear-inducing text from Jen, and she (gasp!) reveals HER REAL HAIR!!! Is it next Thursday yet???

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE?  WHY IS JEN BEING SUCH A BAD BRIDESMAID?  HOW EXCITED ARE YOU TO SEE KIM’S REAL HAIR?

Today, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann‘s lovely little boy KJ celebrated his first birthday. The Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding star posted some adorable photos of KJ on his big day. Congratulations Biermann family!

I can hardly wait – I have been waiting FOUR years on bated breath for the real live, albeit heavily dyed, strands and follicles of Madame Zoliciak now Biermann.

Well fans and gawkers alike, Reality Tea will be capturing the unveiling – which may just be the most exciting thing Bravo has ever aired – via liveTweet. So don’t forget to join us for the gasp inducing reaction we’re sure to have!

WILL YOU BE WATCHING THE GREAT HAIR REVEAL?

For me, last night’s anticipation was palpable.  I mean, for serious!  We finally are going to get to see Kim Zolciak sans wig!  I can hardly contain myself.  So, dear readers, sit back and enjoy the recap for Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding…it’s less than 48 hours in TV world until we meet Mrs. Kroy Biermann!

We begin, of course, with Kim telling precious K.J. about all the stress and craziness that surround her wedding plans.  I love that she informs him that her wig has yet to be cut and that dudes in Atlanta do in fact wear heels…especially if their name is Derek J.  Construction is in full swing for the nuptial scenario, and Kim and Kroy meet with security.  Kim is concerned about the people who have RSVP’ed to her wedding that she didn’t actually invite…aka perfect strangers (Balkie joke?  Nah).  She takes security on a tour of their home and informs them of who is allowed to be in the house…and it’s basically just family.  Kroy wants guns and dogs.  Armed security and Shepherds?  Check.

Kim is worried that her landlady Kendra will have an issue with their wedding.  Kendra is now requesting money for her decorating work–the nerve!  And right before the wedding!–so she and her husband have been cut from the invite list.  It’s 24 hours until the wedding, and Kim comes down with a funk.  She has a fever of 102, or so she says, but her wig looks very healthy.  Kim’s housekeeper vows to play bouncer at the reception.  Sidebar…does Panera have some sort of advertising agreement with Bravo?  This isn’t the first time this season I’ve seen Kim’s kitchen laden with Panera take-out bags.  Maybe she digs their soup–it is amazing, and no, I wasn’t paid to say that.  However, I do think I’d make a phenomenal Panera spokesperson.  Call me artisan bread bakers!

Jen sends Kim an e-mail that brings Kim to tears.  Basically, Jen tells Kim that she’s beyond happy for Kim and Kroy, but she hates that being matron-of-honor will put her in the limelight as well.  It’s a position in which she’s not at all comfortable given she hates being the center of attention.  It’s a touching e-mail, and by all accounts very sincere.  Kim immediately understands Jen’s stance and calls her friend in tears.  Jen reciprocates with sobs.  Thank goodness for subtitles.  Kim asks her to attend the wedding as her best friend and to help her get ready…but if Jen’s not comfortable being in the wedding, Kim totally understands.  Heck, Jen wouldn’t even be in her sisters’ weddings!

Tents are being built, bulldozers are sputtering about, and Kim’s jeweler arrives to regale Kim with jewelry on Kroy’s tab.  He informs her that Kroy has told him that Kim needs to pick out her wedding gift.  On top of that, the jeweler offers to let her wear another piece for her “something borrowed.”  It appears that Kroy won’t be getting away without paying less than $400K for a bracelet that Kim just. Has. To. Have.  You’re a rich good man, Kroy.

Landlady Kendra’s husband Antonio is on the street outside his/Kim’s house.  More his.  Security stops him at the driveway, but the guard informs her that Antonio plans to return…maybe with the police.  He wants to inspect the house.  Kim is upset that Kendra charged her $35,000 more than expected to decorate, but Kim will pay her…she has thirty days, duh!  Kim has other things to worry about.  She’s yet to fitted for her third–yes, THIRD–dress for the reception.

Kim talks to her assistant Niki.  Kim is not at all nervous about her impending nuptials.  The women are discussing various hairstyles for the different dresses for her big day.  OH. EM. GEE.  This is it!  We are about to see Kim without her wig!  Both Niki and Derek J think that Kim should wear her hair naturally for her big day.  I AGREE.  LET’S SEE IT!  Take off the wig, Kim!  She thinks they are crazy.  However, she sheds the hair.  It’s very dramatic and drawn out, just the way Bravo viewers like it.  A perfectly timed commercial break later, we’re all ready for the unveiling.  I honestly don’t even know what to do with myself!  Per the usual, Bravo’s mini-scene is a cute back-and-forth between Brielle and Ariana.  The girls are trying desperately to make Rice Krispie treats, and the sisters try to fit as many marshmallows in their mouths as humanly possible.  You have no idea how hard it is for me not to make a terribly inappropriate joke about this, but alas, I am too pumped to see the de-wigging.

IT’S TIME!  Derek J and Niki are discussing….wait, what?  Kim comes into the room in what I thought was a wig.  Her hair is amazing.  Why the hell does she wear those ridiculous wigs?  I so hope Kim goes sans wig for the wedding.  Are we all sure she’s not still wearing a wig?  I can’t get over how good her hair looks.  Like for real.  I may have to take a moment.  Okay, I’m back, and I need to know again, why the hell does Kim wear those ridiculous wigs?  Sorry.  It’s something that I won’t soon be over apparently.

Next week, it’s wedding bells for Kim and Kroy.  Kim is sporting a wig and popping prescription pills for her illness.  Jen arrives, but it’s tense.

WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE?  LET’S NOT WASTE TIME…WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT KIM’S PERFECT REAL HAIR??

Yesterday, Mrs. Kim Zolciak-Biermann had a long day of communicating with TMZ. First a source close to her told the gossip site that she was certainly NOT being evicted as previously reported. And although Kim told everyone at the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion that she was “closing” on her “dream house,” she and hubby Kroy Biermann have since changed their mind, citing the $3M listing price was over-valued by a million dollars.

Kim also said her landlord/interior decorator, the formidable Kendra Davis, threatened to evict her after she walked away from the purchase deal and then Kendra started bad-mouthing her on Twitter. This was after Kim started badmouthing her on Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding (and Twitter) of course!

Now there have been many rumors about Kim‘s attempt to purchase said mansion – namely that she and Kroy couldn’t get approved for the $2.5M mortgage required to buy the property. Of course we don’t have access to Kim’s bank account, so we have no idea if that’s true, but that’s the tea that was spilled.

Back to the matter at hand, a source “close” to Kim (so close it’s Kim herself) claims the Biermanns have never missed a rent payment and the family is moving out on their own volition. The source also said that Kendra is using Kim for her 15-minutes of fame. Previous rumors have said that Kendra was a contender to join the cast of RHOA.

Well, fast forward a few hours and Kendra herself got on TMZ-Live to tell her side of the story! Which is of course drastically different. And it also outs Kim – via her source – as a liar!

TMZ got their hands on a copy of the Biermanns’ lease with Kendra and it looks like Kendra was telling the truth about when the lease ends and the purchase of the home. Kendra previously said that Kim’s lease ended on May 30th and they were staying at the house on a month-to-month basis – with NO plans to purchase the home.

Well, according to the document that’s exactly what’s happening! The lease also stipulates that either Kendra OR Kim have the right to terminate the lease by giving notice in writing 30 days before the lease terminates. If no one gives notice, the lease would automatically extend on a month-to-month basis. That was probably added into the contract because when they originally signed the Biermanns expressed an interest in buying the house. A copy of the lease is below.

Well, someone DID give 30-days notice… The Biermanns! Kroy emailed Kendra on March 29th saying they wanted to move out, so the lease officially ended on May 30th. Meaning that Kim told a falsehood when she said it was still in effect.

Since it’s now June 6th and the Biermanns are still living there with apparently no plans of where to relocate, they are now considered – wait for it – “squatters!” AHAHAHA. Or in technical terms: “illegal tenants.”  And for every day they remain in the house as squatters they owe Kendra a whopping $600 bucks. Which Kendra claims they haven’t paid, so I guess Kim isn’t current on her rent as she said.

Kendra apparently issued the Biermanns a letter demanding they vacate the property immediately or she’s taking them to court. Which she probably will end up doing anyway as Kim STILL owes her for her interior decorating services. And she is “borrowing” a whole heap of Kendra’s furniture used in the house. So we’ll see what happens with that.

Well, Kim got back to TMZ about her living situation and admits she certainly has not been paying Kendra the $600 a day for being a squatter. But she claims she’s going to pay in a lump sum once they move out. yeah right. So we can add that to the list of money Kim owes Kendra. Hopefully Kendra is better at getting checks than Kandi Burruss is!

Kim also says they are moving out ASAP and making plans to build their own dream house. I hear Chateau Sheree is available.

And Kendra‘s house is now back on the market. Kendra listed the property for $2.9M.

In other Kim news, there’s been many whisperings that Kim’s spinoff is headed for a permanent spot among the Bravo roster. It’s been drawing big numbers – over 2M viewers last week and Kim is hinting heavily on Twitter that it’s a permanent deal. Just this morning she tweeted: “Still on this conference call…oh my…Big things happening!!”

THOUGHTS ON THE DRAMA? WHO DO YOU BELIEVE: KIM OR KENDRA?

Wedding bells are chiming for Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann!  Last night’s Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding gave viewers an inside look at the hours leading up to the sure to be over-the-top and ridiculousness of the Zolciak-Biermann nuptials.

As always, the episode starts with Kim talking to precious K.J. (is he always in a skull cap?) about the big day.  The last minute preparations are happening in the back yard.  Brielle and Ariana bring Kim breakfast.  Kim reveals that the always romantic Kroy has insisted that they don’t see each other on the day leading up to the wedding.  The couple won’t be honeymooning until after football season.

Assistant Sweetie Niki is now going to serve as matron of honor in place of Kim’s biffle Jen.  With all the changes that must take place in order to have Niki ready for the big day, Kim enlists Brielle to call her to make sure she will still have time to fix the girls’ hair.  There is one thing that isn’t causing Kim any stress, and that is Antonio Davis.  Security is making sure that he isn’t allowed to set foot on his property.

Colin Cowie arrives to put the finishing touches on the event.  The wedding décor seems to take a page out of Lisa Vanderpump’s playbook…although Lisa’s book is Vogue, and Kim’s book is Star.  Kidding.  The venue looks beautiful, though it’s not my taste.  Kim is looking a tad orange for her big day.  Jen arrives to help the bride get ready, and the pair hugs and mends fences.  Jen remains on the verge of tears.  She’s quickly put to work to get Kim’s chardonnay, a solo cup full of ice, and her antibiotics.  I am guessing Kim forgot that antibiotics negate birth control…much like the girls of 16 & Pregnant.  Nah, I’m kidding.  I can’t do math.  I am sure Kim didn’t get preggers with the most recent baby during this sinus infection.

Kroy is spending some quality time with his teammate who will be performing the ceremony.  He is experiencing one hundred percent pure joy.  At home, Kim is listing all of her future husband’s strengths.  Both are gushing about the other.  Kroy cites their relationship as very easy, and he predicts a future of happiness and success.

Stylist Shun is concerned with how much medication Kim is taking.  Niki arrives with one of the dresses, I at first assumed it was her bridal party dress, but it’s white.  Of course, this is Kim, so who knows?  Kim has opted out of sporting her “real hair” because she feels more like herself in her wig.  Derek J arrives, and Kim is faux livid to find out that he’s been wasting time at Kandi Burruss’ house getting her hair ready.  Kim is stressing (and tressing!) out amongst the chaos in her bathroom.

Kroy compares the wedding to game day.  He must perform in front of his family and friends.  The only difference?  With his marriage, he knows he’s already won.  Can I get a collective “awwww” for Kroy?  Rise up!

Kim is amazed by the transformation in the back yard.  Colin is certainly a man who pays attention to detail.  The cake is a massive and stunning confection that brings Kim to tears.  The groomsman cake is a black lab to symbolize the dog Kroy had to leave behind when he started playing for the NFL.  It looks like a statue.  It’s phenomenal.

Derek J is working his magic on Kim’s wig.  Kim contemplates changing her twitter name to Kim Biermann, but Brielle informs her that there’s already a Kim Biermann in the twitterverse.  Kim is over it…that Kim Biermann only has thirty-one followers.  What’s up with that?

There’s only an hour and a half until the ceremony, and Kim is freaking out that Derek J is cutting her wig.  Why does it need to be cut?  Has it grown since the last time she wore it?  Kim is hell bent on being on time so they can say their vows at sunset.  Kim chose the wedding date 11-11-11 because she feels like it gives her and Kroy some extra protection from the universe. Um, okay!

Next week, it’s the big day!  Helicopters swarm, K.J. sports Gucci shoes, and Kim’s mom needs some stilettos!  We get to see Kroy’s ceremony tears, RHOA cast mates, and reception drama.  Hellz to the yeah!

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE? COMMENTS ON KIM’S PREP AND THE VENUE?

Unless you’ve been living  under a rock, you know that there has been a lot of back and forth about Kim and Kroy’s living situation, which all came to a screeching halt when Kendra Davis, homeowner and landlord of Kim’s Barbie dream house, kicked the family to the curb.  Where to Zolciak-Biermanns?  To Big Poppa’s condo it is!  Tamara Tattles has some very insightful notions as to why Kim and Co. moved back into her Atlanta townhouse, not the least of which being it seemed the only viable option.  She also has some interesting (and quite probable!) views on why Kendra finally said enough is enough!

Tamara also enlightens viewers about some of the wedding hullabaloo.  What I found most interesting is that, in previews, Brielle informs her mother that there are helicopters flying over the property.  My first thought?  Paparazzi.  My second thought?  This isn’t Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s wedding.  Why is the paparazzi going to such extremes to snap a picture of a Bravolebrity couple?  According to her blog, those helicopters don’t belong to invasive tabloid photographers, but Bravo cameras which are shooting all the aerial scenes for the wedding.  Oh Kim, you had me fooled!

In other, “Oh no she didn’t” wedding news, on tonight’s two hour finale of Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding, Kim’s mama is bringing the drama!  Not only does Kim have to worry about the helicopters circling her the house, Kim’s stylist’s assistant forgot to exchange Kim’s mom’s shoes for the correct size.  Kim’s mom takes it upon herself to shop for some wedding shoes in Kim’s closet.  Kim is cussing up a storm (no shocker there), but her make-up minions wonder why she is so surprised.  Hasn’t her mother been trying to hijack her special day since the beginning?  Meanwhile, poor K.J. is having his shoes stuffed in some very uncomfortable looking Gucci kicks.

Kim shouldn’t be so concerned with her mother’s high heeled hijinks, as things really start to go down hill at the reception.  Kim’s aunt needs to relieve herself, and there is no way on God’s green Earth that she flew all the way from New York to go in some jazzed up porta-potty.  Kim’s father is no help, as he’s too busy distracted by all the hotties under the tent.  Black, white, whatever!  He’s never seen so many beautiful women in one place.  Kim’s mother takes it upon herself to get her sister into a real bathroom, and she goes head to head with security to be allowed in the house.  Screaming ensues, and the camera man can’t even catch all the action.  Kim’s mom threatens to “bring down the house” but after a rousing game of “operator” Kim learns that her mother is going to burn down her home.  The nerve!  Kim’s mom and aunt are yelling, and Kroy comes to the rescue, informing them that no one, not even his family, is allowed to enter the house.  Kindly wipe your bum with the one-ply you’ll find housed in the $5,000 porta-potty athankyouverymuch!

The two hour finale airs tonight at 9ET on Bravo.  Watch a preview clip below.

ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT KIM MOVED KROY INTO BIG POPPA’S CONDO?  ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT TONIGHT’S FINALE?

Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding…oh oh oh ohhhh!  It’s time for the much anticipated Zolciak-Biermann nuptials. Can you hear the wedding bells?  They’re auto-tuned!

There is a lot of construction and place settings happening at Kendra Davis‘ abode.  A trailer filled with high-end porta-potties pulls into the driveway.  Kim forgoes the regular conversation with KJ, just singing to him while he’s held by an assistant and praying he won’t be fussy for her ceremony.  Kroy and the couple’s officiant (and former Kroy teammate) Koy decide to imbibe a few beers.  Kroy thinks this wedding is a gift from God, therefore, he isn’t the least bit nervous.

Kim wants to sent him a voice message professing her love.  Kroy’s mom and sister are getting their make-up did done.  His mom is trying to convince everyone about how young her skin looks.  Kim’s mom enters stage wasted and finds Sheree Whitfield getting the full make-up/hair treatment.  Mama Zolciak is jealous.  Sheree seems to have popped some Xanax before being filmed…perhaps she’s dealing with some RHOA withdrawals.

Kim’s father admits that Kroy isn’t quite the prince he envisioned his successful, young, gold-digging daughter marrying.  Okay, maybe I exaggerated two of the three descriptions.  Kroy is dressed in a swanky dinner jacket and getting flack from his family and friends.  They didn’t expect to see him looking so fancy.  Kroy gives Koy the rings, while Kim’s assistant/MOH Sweetie Niki is running around like a chicken missing its head.  Kroy hears Kim’s heartfelt message and melts onto a Kendra Davis original ottoman.  He’s so excited.  And he’s going to have to pay for that.

Guests are arriving via golf cart.  Perez Hilton arrives wearing Paddington Bear’s cast-off jacket.  Up in the staging area, Kim’s mom is frantically trying to find shoes.  Shun’s assistant neglected to get her rhinestone pumps in her size.  Kim is appalled.  How dare her mother go shoe shopping in her closet mere minutes before her wedding!  Whose day is this anyway?

Kim’s psychic arrives in a luscious mink.  Someone call PETA!  Kim can’t worry about her mother trying to hijack her day.  Her minions find some beaded pumps that her mother finds acceptable.  Poor KJ is forced into a dinner jacket and suit, complete with uncomfortable Gucci shoes.  His hair is very slick…or perhaps that’s how it always is.  I’ve never seen the kid without a skull cap.  As Kim dons outfit number one, her nerves start to kick in and she’s getting anxious.  Brielle storms the bridal arena to inform her mother that helicopters are swarming the property.  Kim is upset at first–gosh, those copters are loud!–but she resigns herself to believing that swarming aerial shots mean that she’s clearly someone of importance.  Or it’s Bravo…getting aerial shots.  Thank you so much for that insight, Tamara Tattles!

The guests gather in Kendra’s backyard, while Kim brushes her teeth to avoid dragon breath.  Is she wearing three wigs?  Kroy is practicing his breathing in the kitchen while trying to promote Coca-Cola.  With two minutes left until the ceremony begins, Colin Cowie is laying the smackdown.  Bless him.  He had no clue what he was agreeing to when he signed that Bravo contract.  Kim is confused as to why she needs to switch her engagement ring to her right hand.  Tradition, smadition.  As far as I know, and I could easily be wrong (I often am), but the band that symbolizes the bond of marriage is supposed to be closest to one’s heart, ie, not on top of the engagement ring.  Can we get Emily Post to do a quick conference call with Kim?  #lostcauses

Kim’s father and his mustache arrive to walk Kim down the aisle.  Kim is freaked out by the amount of Bravo cameras paparazzi that want to capture her vows.  The wedding party walks down the aisle.  I am happy to see Kroy cradling a well-behaved KJ…in a skull cap.  Full circle.  Colin coaxes Kim onto the aisle.  She’s looking fierce in her three wigs and bedazzled bosom bustier.

Okay, I’ll stop snarking.  Kroy, ex-bridesmaid Jen, and stylist Shun can’t hold back their tears as Kim makes her way down the aisle.  It’s clear beyond question that Kroy is madly in love with Kim.  I won’t ask why.  Phaedra, Apollo, and Patti Stanger, try to focus on the ceremony despite the 1970′s war movie vibe brought on by the helicopters.  The officiant Koy makes reference to Kim’s booty pants as a selling point for Kroy when finding his kindred spirit.  Did he really just say that?

Koy breaks down the meaning of the pair’s wedding date, 11-11-11.  The parents of the bride and groom bless the couple.  Kroy kisses Kim’s ring (aww!) before placing it on her hand.  He is crying while reading the very beautiful vows he has written.  Does Kroy have a brother?  Kidding!  I can’t compete with Kim as a sister-in-law.  Kim blinks back mascara tears, while she delivers her equally touching vows.  Damn.  I totally thought Kim would have actually written her vows so I could make fun of how dumb they sounded…but they were really sweet.

Please, someone, ANYONE, tell me why I am getting teary at Kim Z’s wedding.  This wasn’t the plan.  I love Kroy for bringing Brielle and Ariana up to the alter so he could oh so sweetly and eloquently tell them that he loves being a part of their lives.  Where did he come from?  Kim is overwhelmed.  Ariana is so excited to have a father figure.  Brielle clearly likes Kroy, but she’s ready for the reception.  Minus Kim’s cupcake-esque dress, the entire thing was really pretty and sweet…and y’all know I’m cynical.

The reception is full swing when Colin introduces the couple’s first dance.  I really, really like Kim tonight.  Perhaps I should put down the wine.  It’s a really touching time.  The bride and groom leave to change into their costumes for Act II, while Kim’s RHOA co-stars Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burrus revel in the ceremony.  Kim changes into dress two and reveals her body paint Falcons situation to her new husband.  He’s floored.  Really?

Kim and her father Joe share their first dance.  Kim is beyond thrilled that her folks are present to share in her special day.  Kroy then dances with his mother who tries to convince herself  that she’s happy for her son.  I could swear his moms says, “We’ll love her too.”  As in future tense.  But not now.  I could be very wrong.  Again, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Brielle gives a very well-spoken and touching toast.  Kim’s clearly done something right with her girls.  Her daughters are stand-up adolescents.  Patti and Kandi are breaking it down on the dance floor.  Kim’s dad is reveling in the lovely ladies who are present at his daughter’s wedding.  Kim’s aunt, however, just wants to use a real bathroom, not a porta-potty.  Kim’s mom and aunt proceed to get into a semi-altercation with the security guard manning the door into the house.  Kim’s mom doesn’t think her sister should have to do her business outside.  The security guard begs for mercy that the women allow him to go ask Kim for guidance.

By the time the security guard’s words get to Kim, all Kim hears is that her mom is going to burn down the house.  To be fair, Kim’s mom only said she was going to BRING down the house, but semantics…what can you do?  When Kroy informs Kim’s mom that no one…not even his family who has no clue what a porta-potty is…can use the inside restrooms, Kim’s mom gives him the big eff-bomb.  While Kim’s been relatively drama-free tonight, I can see where she may come by her personality honestly.

Kim’s mom and aunt are able to sneak by mountains of security to find a non-portable restroom.  Kim’s mom and aunt dub Kim as an ungrateful b*tch.  Kroy busts in on their pity pee party, saying if the two wake up his son, he will make sure they leave.  KJ starts crying, so Kroy makes sure that they leave the house immediately.  On the dance floor, Kim’s mom can’t believe how rude her daughter and son-in-law are being…did they call the police?  Kim’s mother is trying to stir up as much drama as possible among the guests.  Is is just me (and I don’t use porta-potties as a rule), but was Kim’s mom totally wrong?  I tend to think so!

Kim’s dad offers to escort his wife stage left after a heartfelt conversation with his daughter.  Lots of the older guests (aka Kim’s mom’s friends) are wondering what kind of daughter would have her mother taken from her reception.  Security and police pretty much escort Kim’s mother out while Kim and Kroy cut their cake.  Bravo sure knows how to bring it!

Once Kim’s parents are safely off the premises, Kandi sings (for free) at the reception.  She sings her song “Fly Above” after equating it to Kim and Kroy’s love story.  Wait, wasn’t this the song she wrote after her ex-fiance was killed?  Pan to Kim’s parents hopping on the golf cart to be escorted off the property.  Awkward!  Kroy is in awe of his groomsman cake, but he can’t be excited for long, as Kim needs to indulge in her third wardrobe change.

Kim puts on the tackiest jumpsuit I’ve ever seen (of course, tacky and jumpsuit are synonymous in my world), but I”m happy to see her enjoying the remainder of her night.  I need to apologize…when I did the preview, I kept touting the TWO-hour finale.  It was only one hour.  And thank God.  But didn’t it feel like two?

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE WEDDING AND RECEPTION?  SHOULD KIM’S MOM HAVE BEEN ESCORTED OUT OF THE RECEPTION?

Oh, sweet mercy. Kim Zolciak Biermann has gotten two gifts this month: a beautiful new son and a lawsuit from her own mom! Karen Zolciak, who we previously saw getting thrown out of Kim's $1M wedding on Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding is tired of her daughter excluding her from her family.

In retaliation she is taking her daughter to court and demanding she get visitation with Kim's kids! I wonder if the wig collection is also included in the custody decree? 

TamraTattles originally broke the story and discovered that on Tuesday, Aug 28th Karen filed a suit in Fulton Superior Court seeking visitation rights over her granddaughters. The Biermann boys are not included in the filing. 

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR THE REST! 

Karen filed "pro se" meaning without a lawyer. According to the filing Karen "is seeking the right to regularly see her granddaughters, who are the daughters of Kim Zolciak Biermann, who is a star on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

"The girls live such a crazy, abnormal life being on T.V., they need a normal haven to relax and unwind and just be kids. Plaintiff was portrayed as a bad person on defendant’s show Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding which featured defendant’s wedding to Kroy Biermann. In addition, plaintiff claims she has not seen defendant’s new baby since he was born.”

It appears that Karen hasn't seen Brielle, 16, and Ariana, 12, since Kim's 11-11-11 wedding where she was unceremoniously escorted out in a golfcart after being derided by the groom. Yes, Karen was acting crazee too. 

I can see Karen's point, in the first three seasons of RHOA Kim's parents seemed very involved in her girls' lives and were often at Kim's house. There did not seem to be any strife between Kim and her mom – at least not portrayed on the show. Enter Kroy Biermann, a spinoff, and a huge over-blown Bravo wedding and all the sudden Karen is pushed to the sidelines.

Maybe that's not what happened, but it's sure what it looks like to this viewer's eyes. I mean all the sudden, Kim's wigs and her rented mansion (that she since was evicted from) seemed way more important as she desperately tried to escape her Big Poppa funded past! 

So the big question is: DOES Karen have legal grounds? According to TamaraTattles (who contacted a legal advisor), possibly if she is able to prove “a history of previous regular visitation.” Which may explain why her petition only lists Kim's daughters. Georgia's Grandparents rights law stipulates that Karen will have a difficult case without proof of previous financial support and because Kim is still very much alive. 

However – neither girl lives with their legal father – or even legally HAS a father – and Kroy has not adopted them. Brielle and Ariana's father is currently in prison on child molestation charges and Kim cut off all contact. 

Kim previously resided with her parents while she was unmarried (pre-Big Poppa) and her mom helped care for the girls. All of these things could factor favorably into Karen's case. 

The interesting thing will be how the girls react. They are both old enough to have independent relationships with their grandmother and advocate for or against that relationship. 

Another interesting thing, this is all happening in the middle of filming for the fifth season of RHOA, where it has been widely reported that Kim pretty much lacks a storyline other than her pregnancy. Which is something we already saw last season. So, I wonder if this will be featured in the show? 

Kim has not addressed the matter on Twitter.

TELL US – DOES KAREN HAVE A RIGHT TO SEEK GRANDPARENT'S VISITATION? IS THIS A PUBLICITY STUNT FOR S5?

Kim Zolciak has been in a custody battle over her daughters Brielle (15) and Arianna Zolciak (11) – with her parents!

A few months ago Kim's mother, Karen Zolciak petitioned the court for grandparent's rights claiming she hadn't seen the Real Housewives of Atlanta star's daughters (whom she helped to raise) since Kim and Kroy Biermann's wedding. 

Karen also attested that she hasn't seen KJ in months and has never even really met Kim's youngest son, Kash. 

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR THE REST! 

Well Kim's father Joe Zolciak – whom she has always seemed to have a close (albeit inappropriate) relationship with – is speaking out! And according to him this is just another one of Kim's stories that is about as real as her wig! 

Joe tells TMZ, "Kim is a pathological liar PERIOD." Tell us something we don't know… 

"I will not tolerate her trying to make a mockery of my wife or our family any further," Joe seethes. "We are completely humiliated by all the lies she has put in the media."

Joe also alleges that it is KIM who is the bad influence over her own children – and that she's unstable. "She has been married twice and has three different fathers of her four children. Let's face the facts." I think he forgot to add publicly flaunting her relationship with a married man on national TV… 

A judge is still deciding whether or not Karen and Joe deserve grandparents' rights. No comment from Kim – yet! Kim recently slammed her parents in an episode of RHOA when they sent KJ a first birthday card that only contained a $25 check.

Bravo REALLY loves hanging out in Atlanta!

The network announced today that it will roll out two new reality shows based in the city – alongside it's current hit Real Housewives of Atlanta and the upcoming second season of Kim Zolciak's spinoff, Don't Be Tardy.

The first show, tentatively titled Taking Atlanta, will feature a "group of aspiring and ambitious Atlanta locals as they make their mark in the arenas of fashion, music, hospitality and real estate while exploring the city’s sizzling social scene and balancing the demands of their tumultuous family situations."

Sounds a little like the current cast of RHOA, no? Ooh, they said aspiring fashion stars!  Perhaps She by Sheree will be back!  #wishfulthinking

The second new series in the works, Married to Medicine, is described as "following a group of successful and educated women, including doctors and wives of doctors, who are connected to the world of medicine in Atlanta and do everything with style, drama, and of course, Southern flair."

In the announcement, Bravo shared a little peek at what Kim's season 2 will feature for storylines.  One possibility is adoption!  Let the rumors begin!  Bravo says the show "follows Real Housewives Of Atlanta standout Zolciak and Kroy Biermann in the next phase of their marriage, which involves the demands of their ever-growing family, purchasing their dream house, and a possible adoption."

Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak should have some extra cash lying around, don't you think?  After all, she and Kroy Biermann downsized to Big Poppa's already paid for condo, and you know they are selling baby pictures left and right.  So why hasn't she paid for her million dollar wedding?  I guess that's what happened when you live way, way, WAY above your means!

While Wig is pretending that everything is hunky dory, there are some people, celebrity party planner Colin Cowie for one, who are waiting to get compensated for their services.  It's a good thing Kim has another Bravo spin-off in the works! 

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

According to Radar Online, Bravo was not footing the bill for Kim's insanely over-the-top wedding much to Kim's chagrin.  I still remember that lace catsuit.  {shudders} A family member (Kim's mom perhaps?) tells the site, "Kim said that she was having to pay her wedding planner over $1,000,000 for her big ceremony and Bravo wasn't picking up the tab."

Kim, of course, denies owing anyone any money.  No surprised there!  Colin Cowie's company refuses to say whether it is owed any outstanding bills, stating, "We do not comment on our business relationships with our clients."

However, a valet company which was contracted out by Cowie's company confirms that no one has been paid.  A representative for the company shares, "Colin Cowie Lifestyle (CCL/CCE) contracted with AAA Parking to provide valet parking services on November 11, 2011 at Ms. Zolciak’s residence in Roswell, Georgia. The event and valet parking services were extended by an additional hour at the request of Colin Cowie representatives resulting in an additional charge."

The valet rep continues, "The total invoice of $2,550 remains unpaid. CCL/CCE has advised us that they have not been paid for any services they provided for the Zolciak wedding."  Yikes!  Colin Cowie doesn't have to comment if AAA Parking has all the details!

Thankfully, Tamara Tattles has the low down on Kim's upcoming spin-off Don't Be Tardy…(for the what?  The bill collector?) which will hopefully put some cash in her bank account.  The show will center around Kim and Kroy and their growing family as they build their dream house and consider adoption (oh great).  Tamara claims that the show will mainly focus on building Kim's castle, and that Brielle and Ariana were pulled out of school to film.  She also confirms that the girls are going by the last name Biermann in school, although it is uncertain as to whether Kroy formally adopted them.  Hopefully that is the adoption to which Bravo is referring!

For her part, Kim recently blogged about how fortunate she is to have the spin-off while getting in a quick dig to former friend NeNe Leakes.  She explains, "You know, who doesn't want their own show? I'm so blessed to have that. It's incredible and I'm grateful for that. So while NeNe has roles, I have shows."

Now NeNe is hinting that those roles could land her another genre.  She tweeted last night:

Oh, NeNe, haven't you heard of a little something called overexposure?

Ready or not – here it comes. Kim Zolciak's spinoff Don't Be Tardy is alive and well and coming to Bravo this spring. To celebrate the momentous occasion Kim, informed the masses of Wigettes on twitter that filming had officially wrapped. And to celebrate she de-wigged again. 

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR THE REST! 

":( saying good bye to our film crew sucks!!!!!!!," Kim added. "We had the best film crew ever! They r part of our fam!"

Kim also hinted that viewers will see a lot more of her wig-free on this season. "Wigless 2day 4 my last interview of the season!" Above is a photo from Kim's last day of filming – and below is the side shot! 

Personally I think Kim looks so much prettier and younger sans Wigs, but I guess she's gotta keep pimping what made her a household name, right?

Moving on, TamaraTattles has more on what's happening with Kim's court battle against her mom, Karen Zolciak. If you recall Karen is suing Kim for visitation of her granddaughters Brielle and Ariana claiming Kim has refused to let her see them since she was thrown out of Kim's wedding. 

Additionally, Karen claims Kim is providing an unhealthy environment for the girls and her life is unstable due to reality television. The girls gave a statement to the presiding judge claiming they no longer want to or have time for their maternal grandparents and have simply grown apart from them. 

Despite this, the judge ordered the family to go to court-ordered mediation. Tamara reports that they have completed one mediation session and are due for another to happen in March.

Unfortunately the law may not be on Karen's side, because one of the biggest storylines of Kim's spinoff is Kroy Biermann legally trying to adopt the two girls and once that happens they will be living with both parents thus limiting Karen's claims.

Last we heard the adoption was still pending (one of Kim's exes had his rights terminated legally), but it's safe to say the drama of Kim vs. Karen will also be a big storyline on the show. 

Hopefully as the girls get older they will make their own choices about the relationship they want to have with their grandparents. It's a little sad that this will be used to generate TV drama. Hopefully everything works out in the end and at least we can say that Kim is really going through with reality TV by airing a good portion of her reality – even if her motives are likely self-serving!

Atlanta is taking over Tuesday night! Former and present Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kandi Burruss both have highly anticipated spinoffs premiering on April 9th! 

First up, viewers will be treated to a wigtastic double feature of The Wigs & Cigs hour, aka Don't Be Tardy featuring Kim, her hair, Kroy Biermann and the fam – now with four kiddies, so help us Jesus. 

A year after Kim's million-dollar wedding (and eviction), the family is working on their latest dreamhouse as they are all squeezed into Big Poppa's condo. And despite Kroy having a very successful season with the Falcons, Kim's daughters are struggling to adjust to having a new dad and two baby brothers all competing for the attention of the wigtriarch.

And that's not all –  Kim is no longer speaking to her parents who in turn have taken her to court hoping to get visitation with Brielle and Ariana. Yes, Bravo cameras will be capturing all of that family drama to preserve embarrassment for all time's sake.

However, per the Bravo press release, "Kim refuses to let any of this bring down her spirits because as she says, 'Just ask, believe and receive.'"

And now onto Kandi! Bravo gave a brief glimpse of The Kandi Factory last year which scored whopping ratings, and with that a full-season was born! 

Kandi will work with "16 aspiring artists jumpstart their dreams of success in the music industry." Looking for raw talent Kandi will then help aspiring stars groom fine-tune their talents to make it in the business." 

Each competition-based episode, Kandi "will put everything on the line by offering two protégés with no industry experience an opportunity of a lifetime – to master the key elements that make a star and a chance to fulfill their dreams. Kandi recognizes something special in each of the contestants and through the process she hopes to discover the next rising star."

The show will also feature a bevy of industry experts including Kandi's longtime production partner Don Vito (often featured on RHOA), choreographer Victor Jackson and stylist Kwame Water. 

"The winner of each episode who creates a lasting impression on Kandi and her team will score the ultimate career break – an original song based on their personal life and written by Kandi herself, plus, a music video produced by her accomplished team." 

A preview of The Kandi Factory is below! 

Don't Be Tardy double feature airs at 9 & 9:30pm EST on April 9, followed by The Kandi Factory airing at 10pm.

With less than one month until the season 2 debut of her spinoff, Kim shared the above photo from filming day on DBT, "Our 1st two stand ins!! Now we are finally in the chair! I know you love our sweats at the bottom! #rolling".  Worth noting: Kroy's toes are painted, too.

Kim also confirmed on Twitter that even though she jumped ship early in the current season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, she IS attending the reunion taping tomorrow!  She Tweeted, "Hair colored today thanks jeffreytodd #rhoareunionwednesday".  I wonder if she'll confront Kenya on dubbing herself the new Kim Zolciak of the show?  This might be a juicy reunion after all!

Interesting, interesting! Kim Zolciak-Biermann's spinoff premiere date has been delayed!

Don't Be Tardy, the season two follow up to Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding, was supposed to premiere at 9 pm EST on April 9th; the same day Kandi Burruss' spinoff The Kandi Factory premiered at 10pm. 

However Kim just released the promotional photo for her new show on twitter and the premiere date is listed as April 16th – one week later! We confirmed with Bravo's website, which also lists April 16th for the season two premiere! 

Kandi's show is still listed as premiering on April 9th, so nothing has changed there! A promo photo for Kandi's new show is below!

Interesting, indeed! I'm sure it has to do with re-shoots and editiing delays. Last wekeend Kim announced they were shooting their individual interviews and posted a series of behind-the-scene photos of the family. Yesterday she tweeted: "that's a wrap!"

I do wonder if the delay has anything to do with the lawsuit Kandi filed against Kim for illegal use and licensing of "Tardy For The Party," the song. Kim is using the song as the intro music for her spinoff, just as it was used in last year's spinoff. Kandi is also seeking royalties and payment for writing and producing the song! 

Perhaps this latest legal imbroglio is going to be included in Kim's show! Speaking of said lawsuit, Kim continues to comment. She tweeted this yesterday: 

And just for the record, that's actually not true. Rodney Richard previously sued Kim for costs and back royalties and succeeded in removing the song from iTunes. Kim then re-released it with remixed music and different artwork. It is back on iTunes, but is currently subject to copyright approval. Rodney, aka Don Vito, is seen on RHOA working with Kandi and will be included in TKF. 

Kim also tweeted this: 

Interestingly, despite the fact that Kim and Kandi were seen recording 'The Ring Don't Mean A Thing' on RHOA, both women have admitted the song was never actually produced and recorded because Kim didn't want to pay for it! So Ok, Kim… keep trying!

I still think Kim is grasping at straws trying to convince people she is in the right because she knows Kandi has a valid case against her!

National security alert! A be-wigged terrorist is invading the friendly skies! 

Kim Zolciak-Biermann almost got into a fist fight with a woman mid-flight while flying home to NYC with hubby Kroy Biermann. Who knew Kroy was that desirable? 

Apparently the other female passenger "mistakenly" assumed Kim and Kroy tried to join the mile-high club in the bathroom and the woman decided a little mid-flight ménage à trois might be fun so she tried to join the party.

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR THE REST! 

It turns out Kim and Kroy weren't trying to slip into the restroom together for some wig porn, Kim is just afraid of peeing on planes. “I’m claustrophobic in the bathrooms on planes, so I always have my husband hold the door [shut],” Kim told the NY Post.  

As Kim left the bathroom she started getting bedroom eyes from an incredibly bored lady passenger looking for some inflight entertainment. “This lady’s looking at me like I’m going to get it on with my husband in the bathroom . . . I’m kind of walking back to my seat and my husband walks out, and she looks at him and winks and [starts] flirting,” Kim revealed.

Kim was ready to rip her wig off and confront the woman, but but Kroy told the Tardy For The Party star to "'Just sit down.'" Pretty sad when Kroy is the sensible one in your relationship!
