• Here’s a crazy rumor for ya: Kandi Burruss is reportedly pregnant with A.J. Jewell’s baby, according to an unnamed celebrity source. [Media Takeout]—If this is true, then great. But if it’s not, then it’s a cruel way of rubbing salt into her wounds.
• Lisa Niemi, Patrick Swayze‘s widow, spoke at a women’s conference about his death, revealing that the grief could be felt “on a cellular level.” [PopEater]—So sad. I can’t believe he died only six weeks ago.
• The rumored romance between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart has reportedly cooled because he’s getting too serious, too quickly for her. [OK! Magazine]—This sounds like more “New Moon” publicity.

• The fiance of Kandi Burruss, A.J. Jewell, was killed Friday during a brawl at an Atlanta strip club, The Body Tap. [Dlisted]—This must be so devastating for her.
• Chris Noth has confirmed that he will marry his longtime girlfriend Tara Wilson. [Starpulse]—What took him so long to propose? They already have a 20-month-old son together.

Kandi Burruss will replace boring DeShawn Snow on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for season two. Bravo producers fired DeYawn because she’s “too human for a circus show” and that “because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn’t think that I would fit in,” she told Essence.com. Holding her own against NeNe and Sheree seems like a tall order for Kandi to fill, but we think this born and raised Atlanta native knows the ins and outs of Atlanta’s social elite and will definitely give these women some competition. And as a Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, maybe she can help Kim Zolciak with that ill-fated singing career.
