“Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ Season 2 Reunion Sneak Peeks; KZ Is Crazy!
Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
We’re in store for an explosive hour of emotions as The Real Housewives of Atlanta get together for their Season 2 Reunion Special this Thursday night!
Tune in as Kandi opens up about AJ’s death, NeNe gets real about her stripper past, and Sheree faces speculation about her sexuality. I can hardly wait! Part One airs Oct. 29 @ 10/9c only on BRAVO.
Below are a few sneak peeks at all the drama that will go down Thursday. The Bravo videos load a little slow but they are worth watching if you are a die hard ‘Real Housewives’ fan!
I love that Andy went for the juice when talking to Kim about Big Papa and asking her point blank if her relationship with the married man is fair to Lee Najjar’s children. Kim’s response floors me, her statement that ‘There are bigger problems in the world, and all his kids are grown’- umm Kim maybe you missed the MTV TEEN Cribs episode- but I didn’t- Lee Najjar’s Kids are not all grown! Terrible, I really feel bad for his children. Especially Jamen Najjar since he is the youngest and definitely not an adult… nice try KZ.

Lee Najjar Better Known As Kim Zolciak’s ‘Big Papa’ Selling Atlanta Home For Cool $25 Million
Posted on 12. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Lee Najjar, the Atlanta based real estate mogul who is known as “Big Poppa” on the Bravo show “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” has put his lavish Buckhead mansion up for sale for a whopping $25 million.
Najjar hired real estate agent Travis Reed to sell his property, requesting that the property be marketed internationally instead of locally.
Reed will market the estate through high-end magazines and Christie’s. The real estate agent said, “no property in Atlanta has ever sold in the secondary market for more than $10 million, though there are existing properties by the likes of Tyler Perry and Arthur Blank that are worth far more than that.”
Below is a video of Lee Najjar’s kids, Katelin & Jamen Najjar showing off their elaborate digs on an episode of Teen Cribs.

Posted on 03. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
AJ Jewell, former fiance of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kandi Buruss, was killed Friday night at an Atlanta strip club called Body Tap.
Jewell suffered severe head injuries following a fight. He was taken to Piedmont hospital and died on arrival.
Atlanta police spokesman James Polite says Fredrick Richardson has been arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of Ashley “A.J.” Jewell. Richardson was hospitalized after the alleged fight and will be taken into custody once he is released.
AJ Jewell’s engagement to Kandi Buruss caused conflict on the show between Kandi and her mother, and the engagement was called off just a few months ago. Kandi is the legal guardian of AJ’s twin 12 year old daughters (Jewell has six children), and Kandi’s rep has confirmed the news. Such a sad situation, especially with Jewell having children, our condolences go out to his family.
Kandi made a few updates to her twitter page following his death:

“The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” Alter-Ego Photoshoot Photos
Posted on 19. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
NeNe: Straight Laced Lady & Stripper
Kandi: “I had the opportunity to direct NeNe. In the first scene I gave her a little direction, but in the second one she needed nooo direction. It was all natural.”
NeNe: “It was very much my personality. I absolutely loved it.”
Lisa: Girl Scout & Bad Girl
NeNe: “I chose this alter ego for Lisa because I say she’s my gangsta boo.”
Lisa: “I did like my photo. I can’t relate to pushing the girl scout down and taking her cookies, that is totally not me. I was like, I would be the one defending the girl scout!”
Kim: Stepford Wife & Mistress
NeNe: “Kim was a Stepford Wife and a mistress. So typical Kim. A mistress.”
Kandi: Drunk Driver & Pedestrian Victim
NeNe: “In the very beginning I chose an alter ego for Kandi to be a bride and a groom, I wanted her to be a man and a woman … and Kandi called me up and said, ‘I think I want to go a little bit deeper, because my family was involved in a car accident.’ I really appreciated what she decided to do.”
Kandi: “I loved my photo when I saw it, because my family was able to be there and AJ’s family was able to be there. It wasn’t just a generic alter ego it was really something that not only meant something to me, but was important for people to see.”
Sheree: 7-Figure Thief & Victim
NeNe: “Sheree was great and I’m glad we were able to do it. Sheree finally did get her 7 figures. We know how Sheree likes money.”
Sheree: “I totally see a little of Sheree in both of the characters, the glam girl and the bad ass girl. it is absolutely beautiful, I loved it.”

Listen To Kim Zolciak’s “Tardy For The Party”
Posted on 19. Sep, 2009 by CSS.
It’s pretty much what I expected. The only reason it even has the catchy up beat tempo is because of Kim’s co-star Kandi Burrus who produced the single for her. Kim basically sounds like she is talking through the entire song-it didn’t really sound like actual singing to me, but that’s just my opinion!
Thoughts?

‘Real Housewife’ Kim Zolciak’s BIG PAPA Lee Najjar Pops Up On MTV’s “Teen Cribs”
Posted on 12. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
So I set my TIVO yesterday to record MTV’s new show Teen Cribs. I think I recorded 5 or six episodes, and I just sat down to watch the first one to see what its all about- lets be honest who doesn’t want to see how the rich and fabulous are living.
Within the first minute of my hitting play I can honestly say my jaw dropped to the floor! MTV Teen Cribs went and shot a 30 minute episode at none other than BIG PAPA Lee Najjar’s pad in Atlanta! The episode focused on his two youngest children providing the tour of their insanely posh estate. Big Papa himself and wife Kimberly(not to be confused with mistress Kim Z.) also made appearances through out the thirty minute show. Below is a photo of Lee Najjar and wife Kimberly Najjar:
Their house is absolutely unbelievable it puts some of the other houses popping up on the regular Cribs show to shame! The house comes equipped with its own ballroom, personal salon, personal massage room, tanning salon, insanely massive bedroom suites for the kiddies, a deliciously large pool and lounge area, a gentleman’s pub-for the
Kimberly Najjar & son Jamen Najjar
ULTIMATE GENTLEMAN: Lee Najjar (his kids words not mine,)a massive game room, theatre, and lets not forget the ever important recording studio.
One of my favorite parts of the tour was Lee & Kimberly’s bedroom with the his and her televisions in the bed- that is one heck of a good idea..
It all became pretty clear pretty quickly that Lee is indeed Kim Zolciak’s Big Papa-any doubts I may have had went away the second I saw Jazzie Phe lounging by their pool- his association with Jazzie Phe leads me to believe the Dallas Austin connection is concrete. That mixed with the fact that Lee’s son Jamen who is an aspiring music producer lists Dallas Austin as his #4 friend on his MySpace Music Page For Juvy Hall Records.
I give you further proof, below is a photo of Lee Najjar’s son Jamen posing with Dallas Austin:
And if that isn’t proof enough, Dallas Austin himself appears in the Najjar’s Cribs episode playing pool in their deluxe gameroom!
I have to say though Lee’s two younger kids who appeared on the program came across extremely gracious and humble- Lee may not know how to keep it in his pants but he definitely knows how to raise grounded appreciative kids!
Sooo…. having watched the video in its entirety I am left wondering A. When was this filmed, B. Has he reconciled with his wife and kicked Kim to the curb for good?!
Kim Zocliak was recently photographed with a visible “LEE” tattooed across her ring finger in place of a wedding band- and she has also been interviewed stating that she and Big Papa did break up following the finale of season 1 Real Housewives Atlanta… but that they are back together. MTV’s Teen Cribs has left me with a lot of questions but it also delivered a lot of answers! Lee Najjar is Money!!
Follow Lee’s daughter Katelin on Twitter.

Pictured below is a photo taken from Katelin’s Twitter page, very pretty girl- She competed in 2008 Miss Teen Georgia Pagent where she won the Miss Congeniality award:
Lee’s eldest son Jared was not featured on the MTV program. Jared lives in LA and has been referred to as the ‘Godfather’ of his posse which include; Brody Jenner & Spencer Pratt. I reported back in November that Jared was known to bankroll his buddies including Brody and Spencer-Brody also mentioned in an interview that Jared was the only 24-year-old(at the time of the interview) he knew with a Black Amex. I received several comments not believing me- However, after watching the Teen Cribs show I think it’s pretty obvious that that was definitely true.

Also, while doing a little Kim Z. & Lee digging I discovered that Kim had sold her 3 bed, 4 bath condo in Duluth, Georgia . According to records obtained via Zillow . Kim’s pad sold for $455,000 on December 12, 2008. Which begs the question where are her and her wigs shacking up?! I previously reported that I had been tipped off to Kim Zolciak marrying Lee Najjar over the Christmas holidays- which would coincide perfectly with the sale of her previous home. However, I have not been able to give any credibility to that tip. Another rumor floating around is that Kim and Lee are indeed living together and he is divorcing wife Kimberly. The rumor also states that Lee will be filmed in the upcoming season. At this point I can’t wait for Real Housewives of Atlanta to hit the air waves again-because Kim Z. has some major explaining to do!
-MTV has not released footage of the Teen Cribs episode featuring the Najjars, and I was unable to locate it elsewhere on the web. But rest assured as soon as I find it- it will be posted!
Update: Check out the video of the Najjar crib as it aired on MTV’s Teen Cribs:
