Kelly Rowland's Baby Looks Like Beyonce And Jay Z's Daughter Blue Ivy

 

Kelly Rowland and Titan

Former Destiny's Child singer, Kelly Rowland, covers the current issue of Essence Magazine, with her husband, Tim Wetherspoon and son, Titan Jewell Wetherspoon. A photo inside the magazine reveals Rowland's son looks like the daughter of group mate Beyonce Knowles.

For years there have been claims in the entertainment industry that Rowland is Knowles's half sister, from an extramarital affair Matthew Knowles conducted. It is ironic that years later, Knowles sired two more children with two women, as he continued to cheat on Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles.

A humorous meme I found online regarding Blue Ivy and North West, the daughter of clothes hating reality star, Kim Kardashian:

Kim Zolciak: I Don't Date Black Men

Too Much Information

Real Housewives of Atlanta reality TV stars Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes

I don't understand what the necessity was for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, Kim Zolciak, to state to black magazine of all things, that she does not date black men, as it is not her "preference." What do you mean Preference, nobody asked you about your wig hair color.

Kim Zolciak and Lisa Wu Hartwell

Zolciak stated to Essence magazine, "I don't date Black men. I never have. It's not a prejudice. It's just a personal preference. People always think that Big Papa is Black. I don't know why. I've never dated a Black man. It's not to say it wouldn't happen in the future, but at this time, I never have. "

The comment comes across as racist, because it is discriminatory, disdainful and did not need to be said. It is as though you wanted to hurt someone in saying so.

Zolciak also brags about her wealth in the article, which she derives from sleeping with married men, who pay her for said services. There's no polite way of putting it. Zolciak believes the hype accompanying the show, which will not last.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Star Kim Zolciak Speaks on Beef With Cast Members, Her New Single

POSTED: AUGUST 20, 2009 - It always seems as if Kim Zolciak is in the heart and center of most of the drama on Bravo's hit show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Between her infamous fights with NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield and harsh words with Lisa Wu-Hartwell, controversy follows Kim like a moth to a flame...

ESSENCE.COM: You two came to blows a few months ago. There was a police report indicating that NeNe assaulted you. What happened?

ZOLCIAK: NeNe and I have decided to just move on from that. Yes, there was altercation but we've talked in great length about it and we're just both on to bigger and better things like her book and my wig line. NeNe and I care about each other and because we do, sometimes emotions run a lot higher than if we didn't care at all...

ESSENCE.COM: Rumor has it that you and Dallas Austin don't talk anymore. Plus, he's said some really nasty things about you.

ZOLCIAK: Dallas is a piece of work. He likes to Twitter, which is so trivial. I don't know what his problem is and quite frankly I don't care. I don't have time for negative energy. I worked with Kandi on my new song and I'm really excited about that.

ESSENCE.COM: Is it true that you don't date Black men?

ZOLCIAK: Yes, it's true, I don't date Black men. I never have. It's not a prejudice. It's just a personal preference. People always think that Big Papa is Black. I don't know why. I've never dated a Black man. It's not to say it wouldn't happen in the future, but at this time, I never have...

The Real Foreclosed Housewives Of Atlanta Pt 2

The Foreclosure Edition

Lisa Wu-Hartwell

Lisa Wu Hartwell of the Real Housewives of Atlanta stated she and her family were not "booted" from their foreclosed $3,000,000 mansion, as some reported. Since TMZ didn't use said wording when they reported the story and sites like this one did, I'll assume that was lobbed in this direction.

I wasn't trying to hurt her feelings, but I was stating it in legal terms, as when a home is repossessed via foreclosure and auctioned by the bank, that second step means the family has been "booted" from the property. It is a legal formality.

Otherwise, after vacating the premises, weeks or months down the road, the family could decide to move back in again.

The legal language of foreclosures with regard to the property actually being auctioned, mandates that it is clearly stipulated, the borrower in default has been put out, to facilitate the sale of said house to satisfy the debt. Therefore, anyone saying otherwise is pure semantics.

However, I will state, it is great the Hartwells were able to move into another property they "own" after "downsizing" as many Americans did not get that opportunity in the current, ongoing mortgage crisis.

The only property repossessions this Column would toast is that of ponzi schemers and other thieves, defrauding innocent victims.

Side Bar: Atlanta female stars gets testy when you write about their finances.

Lisa Wu Hartwell Rebuffs Reports Her Family Was Booted From Their Home

POSTED: AUGUST 11, 2009 - The economy is affecting everyone, even some of our favorite reality starlets. Recently, reports surfaced that "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Lisa Wu Hartwell and her footballer hubby Ed Hartwell were allegedly booted from their multimillion dollar Duluth, Georgia, mansion, after the bank allegedly foreclosed on the crib and sold it.

However, Lisa Wu Hartwell says that's the furthest thing from the truth. "People read and believe what they want," Hartwell, 38, told ESSENCE.com exclusively after landing in Atlanta from Baltimore where she had a speaking engagement. "Ed and I are doing fine and our children are fine."

Still, the petite beauty wants to make it clear that the Hartwells are no different from anyone else who had to make smart, cost-efficient lifestyle change like many Americans who have been affected by the recession. "We are not ignorant about the state of the economy, but we chose to move, we were not evicted. We've been settled in our home for two months now and we've owned it for five years, as well as other properties. We planned to build on that 10 acres of land and sell the property, but decided against it when the market went bad and I'm glad we didn't. It's just quite silly that there are reports that we were put out as if it weren't our decision to relocate. Our decision to downsize is what I call being [financially] responsible."

"RHOA" costars Nene Leakes and Sheree Whitfield have also moved after dealing with foreclosed properties.—KNB
