Prior to the Reunion Special tonight, Kim Zolciak, of Real Housewives of Atlanta, addresses the rumors with PEOPLE.com about her friendship with NeNe, her breakup with big Papa, and how the show changed her outlook on herself. Check out some excerpts from the interview:

How are you and NeNe getting along? Have you had that glass of wine yet?

We have not had that glass of wine to be honest with you. Hopefully in the very near future, now that the show has calmed down and life is a little bit calmer, we’ll actually sit down and have a conversation. I heard that NeNe was upset about the footage of her [singing about me] in the limo. Her intention wasn’t to hurt my feelings. With that being said, NeNe and I have been friends for a long time. I think she’s great. She’s funny and entertaining, and my older daughter (Brielle) just adores her.

How did you feel when you saw the footage of NeNe singing about you?

I thought it was funny myself, but I was a little hurt by the stuff she said. At the end of the day, had she not been drinking and not been out having a great time, I don’t think that would have happened. I know her well enough. NeNe has a really good heart.

When you announced that you were 29, many bloggers cried foul, saying there was no way you were only 29. Can you respond?

I’m not a liar. You can put that in plain English. Integrity is most important to me. I’m actually 30 now, but I have to agree about some of the footage … I did not do own my makeup the majority of the time and there’s one instance where I was getting makeup done for a photo shoot and I looked 50. It was terrible. But you pound on that black eye shadow and big red lips, what do you expect? I’m sorry they feel that way, but the reality is I am 30 — and you can take it or leave it.

So you’re not with Big Papa anymore. What can you tell us about him?

We were engaged. And he’s a great person. He’s still a part of my everyday life at this point. I don’t know what the future holds. I’m crazy about him. And he’s great to my girls. (more…)

Former Altanta Falcons star, Mike Vick, was in a Virginia court room Tuesday (yesterday) and entered his guilty plea in an effort to get an early release. He is currently serving a 23-month jail sentence in Leavenworth, Kansas for the federal offense and could be released to a federal halfway house in July.

As you may recall, Vick is serving a prison sentence for federal dogfighting charges. Without the resolution of the state charges, Vick would not have been eligible for release to a halfway house.

I love animals, and no offense to PETA, I just feel this is just a bit too much. There are people out there who committed far more worse crimes and recieve a slap on the wrist…and this dude may be released to a half way house! Jeez! (more…)

According to Sixshot.com News, Members of T.I.’s and Shawty Lo’s camps reportedly got into a physical altercation at the third annual Dirty Awards last night (November 24). Shawty Lo revealed to MTV that while he was performing at the event, members of T.I.’s Grand Hustle camp, most notably artist Alfamega, came out of their seats, stood in front of the stage and started “mean mugging.’”

“Basically, I didn’t start saying anything about T.I.,” Lo explained. “I was performing my music. During ‘Foolish,’ all of them was coming in front of the stage doing their mugging. After ‘Dunn, Dunn,’ I performed the dis record ‘Don’t I.’ That’s what made me perform the dis record. I ain’t gonna lie; they was disrespecting me. I wasn’t gonna let them disrespect me.” (more…)

As you already know, Oprah Winfrey has been a big fan of Barack Obama from day one. She is rumored to be planning an inauguration bash all her own. Sources say that Oprah is hoping to broadcast three of her shows from the nation’s capitol that week, potentially from the historic Kennedy Center. Event planners also working for Winfrey apparently are combing D.C. to find a site for a big inauguration bash. Damn! I would love to attend!
