NeNe Leakes, the first lady of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and her hubby Gregg Leakes were on hand for a night of mirth and merriment at TAO nightclub’s Worship Thursday inside the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Here are a few pics from NeNe’s fun night out in Sin City last night:

I understand that NeNe and Gregg supped at the Asian Bistro before she took on her hosting duties at TAO … the happy couple enjoyed a delish dinner of Seabass, XO Shrimp, Wok Sirloin and Sushi while gettin’ their drink on with an endless run of Raspberry Mojitos and Mai Tais … you know, cuz that’s how NeNe rolls, y’all. Once the Leakeses got to TAO, they partied up in the skybox and NeNe even slipped into the DJ booth to chill with Kid Capri … I understand she was really having a good time with glass after glass of Moët Nectar Rose Champagne. Werk it, girl. NeNe herself even announced on Twitter that she was having a great time last night:

What’s up tweeps? I’ve Been traveling & grinding! Vegas where yall @? I’m holding down Tao this Thursday nite! Come hang / Vegas babyyyy! Come party @ Tao 2 nite! It’s gone b crazy yall! / @ the casino n Vegas! These people b taking gambling serious chile! I need a drank! Tao gone b poppin 2 nite. Come hang?

Yes chile, it sounds like she had a great time last night. NeNe is my fave of all the housewives, I can only imagine how much fun it would be to party with her … I’m not a big Las Vegas fan but I wouldn’t mind partying at TAO with NeNe mothereffing Leakes the next time she’s in town. Holla.

Last night Bravo TV aired part 2 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special and not only were we made privy to some pretty horrifying information …

ie. that NeNe Leakes’s main gay Dwight Eubanks confessed to getting a penile enlargement implant!!! (Um, Yikes!) but we were also made to bear witness to an even more horrifying live performance … which I now want to share with all y’all. Here is Real Housewife Kim Zolciak “performing” her “hit” song Tardy for the Party “live” on last night’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special:

Yes, I think the looks on the faces of the other Atltanta Housewives during Kim’s performance says it all … but to quote Mr. Penile Implant Dwight Eubanks, How dreadful! The song may be catchy but … OY! this performance is a hot mess … don’tcha think?

Earlier this week, Bravo TV aired the second season finale of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (which, to be honest, I found wholly and entirely boring) and announced that the Atlanta Housewives reunion would be aired in two parts starting next week. Clearly some fence-mending took place at the reunion (or shortly thereafter) because once-friends, then bitter enemies and costars NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak were spotted all chummy as BFFs again at Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills, CA last night:

You may recall that earlier this year Kim alleged that NeNe tried to “choke her out” while the two were in production of the second season of The Real Housewives but that incident (whether it really happened or not) seems now to be water under the bridge. I suppose it’s nice that the ladies have kissed and made up (well, hugged) but with this good news … comes bad news … very, very bad news.

I have it on good authority that Kim Zolciak does NOT like to wear underwear … and now YOU are going to have it on the very same HORRIFYING authority. Kim managed to flash her naughty nasty bits as she get out of her car to meet up with NeNe at Mr. Chow last night … and horror or horrors … it is NOT a pretty sight:

If you are feeling brave enough to see, stupid enough to see or just plain hateful enough towards your eyeballs to see, you can behold the uncensored version of this crotch shot photo of Kim after the jump. Be warned it is not only extremely NSFW but it is also not safe for human consumption under any possible circumstances — LOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK …

Two of Bravo TV’s most beloved housewives from their Real Housewives series met up for lunch yesterday at Villa Blanca here in SoCal. Here’s a cute photo of NeNe Leakes and her hubby Gregg Leakes, from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, at lunch with Gretchen Rossi and her new beau Slade Smiley (who previously romanced OC housewife Jo De La Rosa), from The Real Housewives of Orange County yesterday afternoon:

NeNe is prolly my favorite of all of the Housewives and I love that she met up with Gretchen for a quiet lunch with just their husbands and any available paparazzo within a 20 mile radius. These savvy reality TV stars know what they are doing and made a wise choice to dine at Villa Blanca. NeNe and Gretchen got really close during lunch — after the jump, find out just how close they got …

Earlier this week on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the ladies showed off their collection of alter-ego photos that were shot by Atlanta photographer Derek Blanks and featured each of the housewives — NeNe Leakes, Shereé Whitfield, Lisa Wu-Hartwell, Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burress — showing two different sides to their personalities (at least, that was the original premise of the shoot). In case you missed it or just want to see them again, here are the photos shot by Blanks of the Atlanta Housewives showing off their dual personalities:

NENE LEAKES — After directing her costars during their shoots, NeNe stepped in front of the camera to portray a pole-dancing stripper and a reluctant socialite tipper.

SHEREE WHITFIELD — Making light of her much-hyped “seven-figure” divorce settlement, the She by Shereé designer posed as a fashionista and a robber.

LISA WU-HARTWELL — Watch the cookies! At the alter-ego photo shoot, NeNe got her pal to pose as a punk and a goody-goody Girl Scout.

KIM ZOLCIAK — Deciding not to dress up like a black version of herself, Kim chose to pose as a mistress and her lover’s scorned wife at a Laundromat.

KANDI BURRESS — Kandi, whose friends were involved in a drunk-driving accident, decided send a message, portraying an intoxicated clubber who got behind the wheel and her victim.

I personally was not too impressed by all of the photos. I thought NeNe, Shereé and Lisa had the right attitude … Kim’s photo is fug and Kandi’s photo – while admirable – wasn’t really a photo showcasing her dual personality. Overall, I thought the shoot was fun tho … Blanks has come up with a very creative idea and he has shot some very cool photos. I just love the Atlanta Housewives, they are my fave of the bunch. What do y’all think of these photos … are they cool or do they miss the mark?

A Real Housewife of New York City, New Jersey and Atlanta each is featured on the cover of the new issue of The Advocate magazine along with Bravo TV programming honcho Andy Cohen. Cohen speaks openly and frankly with the mag about being an out and proud man in the TV biz, lookin’ very much like the gay Ward Cleaver alongside his Housewives:

“I couldn’t be gayer.” As Andy Cohen makes this proclamation, he couldn’t be prouder. It’s 9:30 a.m., and the Bravo executive is in a seersucker suit, seated in a Sirius XM Radio studio in midtown Manhattan. He’s a guest on The Gayle King Show and has been asked to sound off on Whitney Houston’s highly anticipated comeback, a topic he’s thrilled to discuss. From Madonna to Sandra Bernhard to the ubiquitous Real Housewives his network is churning out, Cohen loves his divas. Tieless, the top two buttons of his lavender shirt left open, his hands circling through the air, he is on. His excitement about Whit’s new album is not unlike that of a 15-year-old girl gushing over the Jonas Brothers at her cafeteria lunch table. Then, as if they were tasked with proving Cohen’s previous statement, he and King start to sing along to Houston’s new single, “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” Cohen sways in his chair, snaps his fingers, and swings his head back and forth in front of the mike. Watching the silver-haired, impeccably tan, 41-year-old former CBS News producer surrender to his inner pop tart, you’d have to agree — this man couldn’t be gayer.

Ugh .. that’s about all of Cohen’s interview that I could stomach, if you are interested … you can read the rest of it HERE. While I generally love Andy Cohen (something about his crossed/wonky eye is kinda cute), I find that he tends to really irritate me when exposed to him for long periods of time. His late-night talk show Watch What Happens is kinda painful to watch, mainly because he tends to bug. That being said, the man is a reality TV genius … he consistently comes up with really fun programming that I just can get enough of (The Real Housewives, Top Chef, Tabitha’s Salon Make-over, Project Runway). True, some of Bravo’s reality programming sucks balls (Miami Social, Millionaire Match-Maker, The Rachel Zoe Project) but overall, Bravo has become THE home of fun and entertaining reality TV. While I feel that Andy’s fame may be going to his head just a touch, I hope he continues to bring the entertainment … if he starts believing they hype that he’s the star, he may lose his eye for finding great new TV programming. Methinks Mr. Cohen should stay behind the scenes where he’s been more successful rather than in the spotlight where he is decidedly much less of a success.

Whoa!! Just when you thought the drama on The Real Housewives of Atlanta couldn’t get any more insane than last week’s ep (Who Gonna Check Me, Boo?) we learn that the drama got really real for two of the Atlanta housewives this past April. According to Kim Zolciak, the housewife with the worst wigs and the inability to carry a tune, she was physically assaulted by co-star NeNe Leakes as the two women were on their way to film a scene for the show. Zolciak filed a police report that Leakes put her hands on her and “tried to choke her out”. Here are some of the deets on what allegedly went down, including a look at the actual police report filed by Zolciak:

Just when we thought the table-flipping outburst on The Real Housewives of New Jersey was cuckoo crazy, now come allegations of physical attacks down in Atlanta. Back in April, country music star wannabe Kim Zolciak filed a police report against fellow Housewife NeNe Leakes … Kim claims NeNe grabbed her neck and “tried to choke her out” at the end of an argument on April 15, according to an incident report … Two witnesses, who apparently tried to break up the fight, corroborated Kim’s story. No reason was given for the altercation, and NeNe had left the area by the time the cops arrived. NeNe has not been arrested or charged with any crime, but a rep for Kim insists the incident is still under investigation. “Violence is a very serious issue, and we are not going to take this incident lightly,” the rep said. “Mrs. Leakes needs obvious therapy for her apparent anger management issues.” A rep for Bravo and NeNe had no comment. Housewife Sheree Whitfield just told me, “There is going be tons of drama and catfights [this season]. I don’t know if you call that one a catfight. That’s more like a dogfight!” While the Kim-NeNe argument was not caught on tape, a source said the issue will be addressed in an upcoming episode. How are things between the two now? Definitely chilly. The ladies held court on opposite sides of the W Atlanta-Buckhead hotel on Tuesday night during a party for the premiere of the show’s second season, according to another source.

Damn! While I don’t want to see NeNe get into any trubs for what it is being alleged that she did, I can absolutely believe that Kim is capable of pushing NeNe over the breaking point. I’m curious to see how Bravo TV handles this situation. On the one hand, I bet they’re licking their lips to try and air as much of this altercation as possible but have to be reigned in by the law. Trust, they will exploit this incident as much as they can within the confines of the law. After the jump, check out the police report filed by Kim that outlines what she alleges happened to her …
