Nene Leakes Calls Sheree Whitfield Her “Biggest Hater,” Explains Why She Bought Son A Car Plus Sheree Calls Her “Evil”

First it was Kim (and Kim again later), then it was Phaedra, then it was Star Jones and now it's Sheree...does anyone see a pattern here?

It’s Nene Leakes vs. Sheree Whitfield take two as the war rages on between the Real Housewives of Atlanta costars!


After Sheree accused Nene of going behind her back to snag a hosting gig, Nene, who feels her castmates are jealous of her because of her fame, is now firing back in her latest Bravo blog, calling Sheree one of her biggest haters.


“Sheree made claims that were simply false! She has been one of my biggest haters, and I find that sad!” wrote the very, very rich Nene. “Of all the ladies, she has had the least success and her jealousy has reached an all-time high . So sad! Now I don’t want to spend too much time talking about someone that’s not even relevant, and I don’t owe anyone an explanation for the favor God has shown me in my life!”


Nene also defended her decision to buy her troubled 21-year-old son Bryson Bryant a car… with cash money… since she is now very rich… all due to her appearance on Celebrity Apprentice. If you recall, Bryson has been arrested a number of times on drugs and theft charges.


“My boys mean the world to me, and I want them to have better than I did. My son Bryson has made a few mistakes like any 21-year-old might. Sometimes good people make bad choices, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad! It means they are human. We went out to buy Bryson a car, which I was happy to do. I bought his car with cash money simply because I could!” wrote the Nene.


Sheree also blogged about the drama making it clear Nene did indeed try to jeopardize her hosting gig.


Sheree wrote: “To elaborate, NeNe called Tyrone several times complaining about him booking me for the amount I was being paid, all the while on speakerphone, obviously unbeknownst to her. She stated that since he knew her first, he should have booked me through her! She went on to say that he shouldn’t pay me the agreed upon rate, because she could have gotten me for a much lower rate, which would have created more money for her. She was saying that she should make the most out of all of us yada yada yada!”


Sheree continued, “Excuse me? You are getting the monetary amount you asked for. Why would you try to stop or get in the way of someone else? What’s the problem? Why would she feel the need to do this? Greed, envy, jealousy… This info comes from someone whom I’m very close to and I consider him to be one of my dear, loyal, and trustworthy friends, Charlie Mack. I was actually going to call him as well, but NeNe took off before I could! I wonder why? The funny thing is I felt that there could be some truth to what Charlie was saying, because I have experienced this type of undermining, manipulating behavior in the past from NeNe.”


Sheree goes on to make it clear she does not consider Nene to be a good person. “Bottom line it doesn’t matter what the dollar amount is, it’s the principle! If someone can smile in your face while stealing behind your back, that’s a conniving, evil person that I do not care to have around me… My mother always told me, ‘The people you look down upon on your way up will be the same people you look up to on your way down,’” added Sheree.

Report: Taylor Armstrong Drinking Up To 20 Drinks A Day, Friends Begging Her To Get Help

RealityTea.com:

According to a new report, Kim Richards is not the only Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star with an alleged drinking problem.


In Touch Weekly magazine is reporting Taylor Armstrong continues to hit rock bottom with her drinking. A friend of Taylor tells the mag that while she used to be a social drinker; she is now up to 20 drinks a day since the tragic suicide of her estranged husband Russell Armstrong back in August.


“She starts early in the morning,” says the pal. “She’s gone from wine to hard liquor. She’ll pretty much drink anything.” The pal adds that they are terrified Taylor’s becoming an “alcoholic.”


In fact, Taylor’s loved ones are reportedly considering an intervention. “She’s drinking away her pain and her grief,” the friend explains. “But she has a major problem and needs to come to terms with it.”


The mag, however, reports that Taylor is a long way from coming to terms with anything as she is said to be in denial about her issues. On a recent Friday night, Taylor was spotted stumbling out of the trendy Trousdale Lounge in LA, looking more like a trashed starlet than a 40-year-old mom.


Her wild behavior in addition to her scary skinny look now has her loved ones worried as they fear she won’t be able to care for her 5-year-old daughter Kennedy if she keeps going down this downward spiral.


Taylor is refusing to get the help she needs and is not listening to those who truly care about her reports the mag, instead choosing to hang out with enabling “drinking buddies” such as Most Eligible Dallas star Matt Nordgren, 28, who is described as her “new boyfriend.”


“He’s a partier, too, so they love to go out together,” the pal shares, adding, “Taylor’s acting like she’s in her twenties again.”


The pal adds that Taylor turns to alcohol to avoid her guilt, grief and ongoing money issues. And she doesn’t curtail her drinking even around her daughter. Yikes.

Melissa Gorga: Jersey Girls on a ‘Real’ Roller Coaster

BostonHerald.com:

Melissa Gorga’s first season of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” has been a roller coaster of cat fights and name-calling. But despite the brawls between Melissa and her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice, Gorga says the show actually improved their relationship.


“I have no regrets,” Gorga told the Track. “We weren’t speaking at all before the show. The show brought us together, and we have to be in the same room and fix the problems instead of avoiding each other. It helped us to get back together.”


So does that mean everything’s easy-breezy between the two Jersey girls these days? Not quite.


“We’re constantly trying,” says Melissa, who hits Foxwoods tonight to host the Little Black Dress Party at SHRINE at MGM Grand. “We’re on a roller coaster that we can’t get off of.”


The drama peaked during the reunion episode when fellow Jersey housewife Jacqueline Laurita tweeted that she was tired of the “charade” and wanted out of the show. But Gorga said, despite appearances, Jacqueline may not be gone for good.


“No, she’ll be here for season 4,” says Melissa. “As for season 5, we all have no idea. We haven’t even been called about that yet.”


Just in case, Gorga is trying out a new career: singing. She previously released a single, “On Display,” and has a four-song EP she recorded during filming for Season 4.


“I think it was gutsy of me to sing on national TV when I’ve never been completely properly trained,” Melissa said. “I’m out there for everybody to judge.”

Ramona Singer Fights Back, Denies Diva Behavior at NYC Restaurants

WetPaint.com:

Real Housewife of New York star Ramona Singer is fighting back against accusations that she recently went into diva mode while filming the show’s upcoming fifth season.


In an item that ran in yesterday’s Page Six, anonymous sources complained that Ramona insisted upscale eateries Phillippe and Ciano only serve her eponymous brand of pinot grigio to the cast while they shot at those two locations.


In an exclusive statement to Wetpaint Entertainment, Ramona tells us, “Am I passionate about my pinot grigio? Absolutely! And now that I have my own wine, why wouldn’t I bring a bottle with me? But I always call ahead and ask permission and they usually charge me a bottle fee.”


She denies having filmed at Phillippe for the upcoming season and, as for Ciano, “I graciously drank the pinot grigio they offered. Although, I have to say, my Ramona Pinot Grigio is the best!”


She’d also like to take the opportunity to point out that several other of Manhattan’s most posh dining spots — like Bar Italia and Orsay — are more than happy to serve her vino. And, she adds, "It’s only been on the market for approximately four months, yet it’s already in nationwide stores such as Krogers, Total Wine, and Target."


Hear that, Ciano?


The no-hold-barred housewife has her hands full these days. In addition to filming and marketing her wine Ramona Pinot Grigio., she’s also overseeing her True Faith line of jewelry, her Tru Renewal skincare and Ramona Singer jewelry for HSN.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Draws Biggest Premiere Ratings for Franchise

HollywoodReporter.com:

There's no slump here. The Real Housewives of Atlanta returned for season four on Sunday night and episode reached the series' highest premiere ratings, according to Nielsen.


The season opener drew 2.9 million total viewers at 9 p.m. on Bravo, a 20-percent improvement from the previous year's comparable telecast. (The third season premiere averaged 2.4 million viewers last October.) About 1.9 million were in the ad-coveted 18-49 demographic, an improvement of 10 percent.


If Atlanta wants to reach its series high, that will be a tall order: that number was reached for the season three finale that aired at the end of January, drawing about 4.4 million to the telecast.


Additionally, the Real Housewives of Atlanta premiere marks the franchise's most-watched season premiere. Considering how many editions there are (Miami, Orange County, Beverly Hills, D.C., Atlanta, New York, New Jersey), that is a difficult feat to accomplish.


Next week's episode sees NeNe taking a break from Atlanta by taking a weekend getaway trip with Cynthia and Kandi in Miami, Phaedra explores opening a funeral business, while Sheree and Kim discuss Kim's plans.

Tamra Barney Not Dead – False Jet Ski Death Rocks Orange County

LaLate.com:

Tamra Barney is not dead, says Barney herself. Tamra Barney false death reports surfaced online today, prompting the reality TV star to re-tweet the reports of her recent “death”. The fake death report listed “Tamara” Barney as an “actress”.


This morning, Tamra Barney told fans and news that she is not dead (and that her name is not “Tamara” either). Barney last season on Real Housewives of OC was seen acting up on holiday. But she wasn’t in Turks and Caicos this week, as a false death report claims.


“Actress Tamara Barney died while on a personal vacation in Turks and Caicos early this morning from injuries sustained in a Jet-Ski accident – November 8, 2011″. While the death report is false, it might give Bravo a new storyline for the upcoming season of Real Housewives of OC.


In recent seasons, OC Housewives have used online news reports as the basis of many of their storylines. While the Housewives often blame each other for false reports, today’s death report is not the doing of another notable cast member. It’s the result of the same infamous website that has “killed” off everyone from Adam Sandler to David Guetta in recent weeks.


As reported recently on LALATE, the website most frequently takes music celebrities and reports their fake deaths on a fabricated Route 80. Then it takes film stars like Adam Sandler and kills them off in snowboarding accidents or skiing crashes.


But with reality TV stars, the storyline apparently is jet-skiing accidents. Most recently listed dead by fake jet-ski accidents are Scott Baio and Rebecca Black. But today, Tamra Barney shares company with Sammy Hagar and Jennifer Lopez; both have also been erroneously reported dead in the same fake jet-ski crash.


Barney tells fans “for those of you that have been asking, I am very much alive.” Barney later added “I guess I better call my mom before she starts freaking out…she is one of those that believes everything she reads.”

Sheree Whitfield explains NeNe Leakes beef

S2Smagazine.com:

In case there was any question, Sheree Whitfield clarified that she and NeNe Leakes are no longer friends.


“We were friends a long time ago,” Sheree clarified to talk show host Wendy Williams today.


“NeNe has really changed. The fame has totally changed her. It’s gone to her head. She just feels like she’s bigger than everybody,” Sheree said, noting that NeNe was in the wrong.


Although NeNe and Sheree were never BFFs on the show, previews of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 4 show NeNe and Sheree in the midst of an intense argument.


“It was an appearance that I had to do; I brought NeNe in on it—actually Kim, as well—and she tried to pull from me and Kim, what we were getting. I don’t care about all the other things that she does, or things that she says ‘cause it really doesn’t affect me ‘cause we’re really not friends like that. We’re acquaintances,” she said.


“When you try to pull money or take money from me, that’s just really low,” she added.


Sheree has enough money problems this season with a child support case against her ex-husband. Luckily, Phaedra Parks helped her with that situation.


“This is my friend, but she did pay,” Phaedra said on the show.


Sheree told Sister 2 Sister that out of her co-stars, she is closest to Kim Zolciak, who reportedly doesn’t even speak to NeNe anymore.


That may explain the division that seems to be rearing its head for season 4.


Kandi Burruss said the lines have coincidentally been drawn according to height.


“All of us don’t necessarily talk to everybody like that. They started calling everybody the ‘smalls’ and the ‘talls’ by the end of the season. The taller group of us hung out and the smaller group of us would hang out,” Kandi told Sister 2 Sister.


That may explain why Sheree was joined by Kandi and Phaedra Parks on the couch at the “Wendy Williams” show.


I have to say that Sheree really showed us all what a lying, conniving, famewhore NeNe Leakes has become since RHOA started. The minute NeNe got up from that table on the premiere the other night to leave, you knew she was lying about not attempting to shaft Sheree on that appearance deal. And then to see Sheree follow her out and call her out her shiestyness, all the while not showing one bit of fear or intimidation through the entire faceoff just tells you that Sheree doesn't play....much respect.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: 'The Beverly Hills Cast is Too Skinny'

Lifeandstylemag.com:

The catfights and drama down South are back! The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns this Sunday, Nov. 6, on Bravo, but one thing you won't see these full-figured women fight about? They all agree -- they love being the curviest Housewives cast!


In the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now, the Atlanta women sit down for an exclusive interview to talk about their confidence, curves and what they really think about the other Housewives casts!


"I like being a curvy size 6," former model Cynthia Bailey tells Life & Style." I eat to be happy, not just to survive."


Fellow cast member Kandi Burruss thinks women should feel comfortable in their own skin and embrace their body no matter their size. "Men like confident women. They aren't turned on by women with hang-ups who hide themselves in the bedroom," she insists.


Another thing the Atlanta ladies all agree on? The Beverly Hills Housewives are too thin. "They're tiny -- I feel huge around them," NeNe Leakes tells Life & Style. "I'd love to give them a dozen biscuits with homemade jam and butter!" Phaedra Parks adds.
