Kim Zolciak Quits "Housewives"

Wetpaint just released Kim's enormous salary for starring on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." She makes a whopping $600,000 per season to star on the show. She also gets a bonus of $150,000 for appearing on the Reunion show. After hearing that I found it shocking that she made the decision to quit the show. Kim announced that filming became too hard for her at eight months pregnant. Her last appearance will be December 2nd which means she must have quit mid taping. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season has just begun and December 2nd would only put them at halfway through the season. This is what Kim had to say about leaving the show. "I was eight months pregnant and there was so much drama; I just had to walk. I've taken on so much in the past five years, but this was the final straw. My priority was the child inside me." Alot of the drama was centered around the fact that Kim cancelled on a trip to Antiqua with the other cast members at the last minute. She explained "They couldn't understand why I couldn't go," Kim explains of her co-stars. "Fighting is what we're known for, but I've never disagreed with a pregnant woman. It's not one life you're dealing with, it's two." While every story has two sides I think Kim made an honorable decision. I personally don't feel like a woman 8 months pregnant should be traveling somewhere she has never been anyway. It shows a lot of character for anyone to walk away from that much money that some might call 'easy money.' However, Kim should continue to do well in her life. She is married to football player Kroy Biermann for the Atlanta Falcons. Kim did reveal some remorse about leaving by saying "I can't say it was easy to end that chapter. After all, I met my husband through this show."

Tamra Barney Fires Back at Star Magazine

Star Magazine should be ashamed of themselves for the recent photos they posted in their current November issue. The magazine shows a picture of Tamra Barney in an unflattering bikini pose. The magazine calls Tamra "cottage cheeks" and says she has "a dimpled tush and thighs." This kind of journalism only adds to the bullying problem our society is facing today. The funny thing about it is, Star Magazine didn't even feature a current photo of Tamra. The photo in question is three years old. Anyone that follows "The Real Housewives of Orange County" knows that Tamra has lost a considerable amount of weight since then. She is a very health conscience woman and is even opening her own fitness studio. The picture also shows she had implants at the time. It has been almost two years however, since she has completely removed her implants. Tamra didn't take the article lightly and took to the Internet firing back at Star Magazine. She said "You are the reason woman feel horrible about themselves, low self esteem and have eating disorders. your recent article is juvenile and you make me sick! To take a three year old unflattering picture and post it in your current issue makes you look stupid (do your homework)! To make fun of the way a woman looks...... just makes you an a**hole!" The other women being made fun of in the article are Ramona Singer from "The Real Housewives of New York" and Kim Zolciak from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" who just had two babies back to back. Tamra recently shared on her Twitter page recent photos of herself and fiancee Eddie Judge. She is currently in Puerto Vallarta with the other OC "housewives" filming her bachelorette party.

Basketball Wives LA Firing

"Basketball Wives LA" is nothing short of extreme drama every episode, every week. This is only the second season of the hit television show but executives have already cleaned house. There are only going to be two original cast members returning for season three. Among the fired is Gloria Govan, her sister Laura Govan, Malaysia Pargo and new comer Brooke Bailey. VH1 has yet to confirm the firings but Gloria Govan may be the reason behind it. Sources close to the show say that executives were angry that Gloria secretly got married during filming in Vegas to Matt Barnes without letting producers know. Laura, Malyasia and Brooke were reportedly fired because they didn't allow all aspects of their lives be filmed. The only two expected to return would be Jackie Christie and Draya Michele. The pair both currently despise eachother and had a physical alteracation just this season. Malyasia has become extremely boring this season as she has been trying to become the soft spoken peacemaker. If they want to keep the title "Basketball Wives LA" then the producers should find actual "wives" as castmembers. For season one and part of season two the only "wife" is Jackie Christie. The rest are two girlfriends and basketball "groupies." To me that just doesn't make sense. The only one out of the four I would be sad to see go would be Brooke Bailey. Brooke seems like a very sweet girl with a no nonsense attitude. In the latest episode she stood up for herself taking on Malyasia and Jackie Christie in one sitting. The castmembers are being very coy about rumors and haven't commented yet confirming if they are 100% true or not. "Basketball Wives LA" can be seen Monday night on VH1.

"The Real Housewives of Miami" Ends with A Bang

Since the show first aired "The Real Housewives of Miami" was getting even more attention than it's successful counterpart "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." The Bravo Network had fired and hired new castmembers which obviously has made a huge difference. Not only that but music superstar Lady Gaga took to her Twitter page to show appreciation for the show. Last night she tweeted "Miami cast takes the win." "If I was Lisa I would just get drunk and go swimming now." Lisa Hochstein who is married to a very successful plastic surgeon hosted a charity event at her amazing mansion. The event was a lingerie party to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation. I'm not really sure what lingerie has to do with the charity but it makes for good television. "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis started the drama by spreading the word around the party that he had slept with Joanna Krupa and her sister Marta. Joanna flipped out but it turned out that Marta later admitted to sleeping with him. The finale ended with Adriana confronting Karent about the issues they had been having all season. The straw that broke the camels back was an interview of Karent that a blogger had posted in some article. In the article Karent was quoted as saying that the rest of the castmembers had "botox for brains" amongst other derogatory comments. Karent denied this to Adriana saying her words were misconstrued. Before the girls could hash out their differences, Joanna butted in siding with Karent. This infuriated Adriana and digs between the two were thrown back and forth. Adriana decided to walk away from the fight but Joanna chased after her. Joanna went to grab Adriana's arm and Adriana spun around and punched her in the face. It definitely was one of the most dramatic scenes that will go down in "Housewives" history. No word yet on when the reunion episodes will air but I am hoping they will be better than the last season. If you remember, the ratings were so bad during the first season that the reunion was held in the embarrassingly small "Watch What Happens Live" studio.

Megan Fox Post Baby Body

Many were shocked to hear Megan Fox had her baby Noah Shannon just last month! The father is former 90210 star Brian Austin Green who recently lost big time in court. TMZ reported that Brian's ex girlfriend actress Vanessa Marcil made out handsomely in court. Vanessa is the mother of Brian's 10 year old son. According to Brian, he had loaned her a total sum of $200,000 and she refused to pay him back when he came to collect. An L.A. judge ruled that Brian had waited too long to collect the money from Vanessa and that the statute of limitations simply ran out. The photos I had seen of her on the internet in September looked like she appeared to be only four months pregnant. The fact that Megan was in stellar shape before her pregnancy has helped her bounce back quick. There were times her figure wasn't exactly enviable. When she followed a super strict vegan diet she looked too emaciated. Now Megan follows a healthier approach. Megan has made it clear that she despises the gym. However, she has begun training sessions with celebrity powerhouse trainer Harley Pasternak. Pasternak is responsible for the 5-Factor diet. Megan is required to eat 5 small meals a day that include the important 5 dietary factors. Such factors are healthy fats, lean protein, high fiber and non-sugary drinks. When Megan needs a healthy snack she eats the 5-Factor crips. As far as exercise goes, Megan trains with Harley three to four times per week. Megan perfers doing circuit training to prevent her from becoming bored. Circuit training combines weight lifting and cardio in short bursts with little rest in between. During each training session Megan gets 25 minutes of exercises that are broken down into 5 sessions that last 5 minutes each. Megans diet and workout regimen is easy enough that any woman can follow. Her diet is healthy and almost everyone can find 25 minutes a few times a week out of their busy schedules.

How Carrie Underwood Keeps Off the Weight

Carrie Underwood is already underway with her 2012 tour and her body shows all her hard work. In 2005 when she won American Idol she had a noticeable amount of weight on her. She was hardly fat, but her figure now sports a healthier body of work. When I think of Carrie Underwood I think of her amazing voice but there is one other thing that comes to mind. Her amazingly toned legs. Google her and you will find hundreds of pictures of her transformed figure and stunningly cut legs. I personally save such pictures to my iPhone and look at them often for inspiration. Whenever I try to talk myself out of working out I click on the pics and jump off the couch. Since 2005 she has kept off the 20 pounds she shed for over 7 years. Carrie is a huge animal lover and advocate. That being said, she follows a vegetarian diet. When you are a vegetarian it's hard to get your alloted amount of protein since you are not eating chicken or meat. Carrie replaces that with soy based sausages and Kashi bars. Let's not forget that tofu is a huge staple in a vegetarian diet. You can almost cook it with anything and it's high in protein. She also is consistent about writing down everything she eats especially when on the road. This allows her to hold herself accountable. It's also a good resource to look back on at the end of the week to figure out why you are or are not hitting your weight loss goals. Like most celebrities, Carrie works out with a personal trainer and focuses a lot of course on her gams. She performs a ton of lunges, sideways lunges, squats, traveling lunges and reverse lunges. She performs cardio exercises everyday whether at a local gym or on her treadmill at home. Carrie feels like it makes her happier throughout the day if she gets in a good cardio session in the morning. A lot of women would feel surprised to hear that Carrie suffers from the same problem they do. She says "When I gain weight, it's in the spare-tire area, "I've told fitness trainers abs are a physical impossibility for me. And every single time, they're like, 'Well, we'll get you abs!' So do I have them? No! But they're as flat as they're probably going to get." http://www.howcelebritiesloseweight.com/celebrity-diet-workout-and-weight-loss-tips-from-carrie-underwood/
