Above is a clip from tonight's Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special, which is basically an hour of everyone hating on Kim, the show's resident "singer." We don't care so much about who's fighting with whom — we just want to know if Kim will continue gifting the world with her beautiful voice. And don't worry, she will. Explains the next Whitney Houston:
The singing in the studio was horrific. What was that? It made for good television. We had been in the studio hours and hours that day and most people know your producer doesn’t sing or stand next to you. He’s on the soundboard. So it made for good television, but my album will speak for itself. … I’m actually working with WEJ Records, it’s an independent label, and they’re negotiating a contract for major distribution.
You hear that? Add it to your Christmas wish list now!

Last night's finale of The Real Housewives of Atlanta made us incredibly sad. What are we going to do without the vocal stylings of Kim gracing our television sets every week? But the real star of the show, NeNe, also managed to captivate the heart of the amazing Anderson Cooper. And — oops! — NeNe may or may not have just hinted at his homosexuality:
I'm not surprised that Anderson Cooper is talking about me! Wouldn't you talk about me? I'm not surprised. Anderson Cooper is gorgeous. He is THE silver fox, and I just wish he'd come over on this side of the street.
• Who is this man and why are we just now discovering him? [Yeeeah]

Clips from the Britney: For the Record documentary are being leaked on YouTube, prompting Perez Hilton to be all, "EXCLUSIVE!!! WE CAN REVEAL EXCLUSIVELY THAT BRITNEY SAID THIS!!!" even though it's all over the Internets. Anyhoo, there's a big fuss over Brit's admission that she probably married Kevin Federline for less-than-ideal reasons. Gasp!
This earth-shattering revelation overshadows the clips of Brit recording "Womanizer" in the studio — and she sounds just slightly less tone deaf than The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim. It's a good thing she's a pro at lip-syncing.
So we're pretty fascinated by Kim, the resident singer on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Of course, we use the term "singer" pretty loosely, because this woman can't carry a tune to save her life. No, seriously. My dog can sing in a more pleasant manner than Kim. If you need proof, remember that painful trip Kim took to a recording studio, where she created the No. 1 hit "There's a Tyrone Between Me and You"? And if your ears aren't bleeding yet, check out the clip (at left) of Kim traumatizing NYC karaoke bar patrons.
Lesson: Everyone has a gift. Some are better than others.
How much do you love Anderson Cooper? He's a great news anchor, making a valiant attempt to stay neutral and simply report the news instead of bullying his guests into submission (ahem, Bill O'Reilly), and he manages to take time in his day to enjoy what really matters: reality TV.
Coop stopped by to visit with Jay Leno last night about all things Obama-related, but the main highlight (around 3:10) occurred when he brought up his love affair with The Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe. If anyone can get the Silver Fox to do some reality television commentary for Mollygood, let us know.

The great thing about all these Real Housewives series is that every city is home to a different breed of women. The Orange County ladies are botoxed and over-tanned into an orange oblivion, the New York City women are sophisticated and pretentious beyond belief — but the Atlanta housewives are truly glorious specimens to behold.
In the clip above, meet one of the delusional stars, Kim (not Anderson Cooper's favorite, NeNe, unfortunately), who genuinely thinks she is meant to be a professional singer. We can't say much more than that — just watch the scene and cover your ears.
Anderson Cooper is rapidly becoming the one person, living or dead, with whom we would choose to have dinner. Not only is he hilariously sarcastic when it comes to politics — telling Ellen Degeneres, "I'm not sure I existed before [the election]" — he also focuses on what really matters: Reality television. The former Living Lohan critic revealed his current obsession with The Real Housewives of Atlanta, most notably resident crazy NeNe. When Ellen admits she hasn't watched, Anderson asks incredulously, "What have you been doing?" before giving the show the hard sell: "It's good … or something." Swoon.

Here's an event we can get behind: The ASPCA Shaggy Dog Gala, held last night in NYC, managed to support the animals without dressing them up in humiliating outfits and forcing them to parade down a runway. Sure, Katie Lee Joel's dog's collar is a little much, but our standards have been lowered when it comes to pet decor.
Among the no-names in attendance: Former Bachelor Lorenzo Borghese (swoon), Lake Bell, Kristen Johnson and The Real Housewives of New York City's Ramona Singer. Good work, people: Keep the clothes off the animals.

Today is kind of a milestone of mine, because it's my one year anniversary at Jossip HQ. I started out as an intern over at Jossip.com for a few months before being moved over to Mollygood full-time, so it's not my real first anniversary yet, but I'm sentimental and celebrate anytime I can. I remember showing up at what I have dubbed The Tiniest Starbucks In The World across the street from Bryant Park to interview for the internship and staring across out the window at all of the celebrities and models (and Nigel Barker!). I hadn't a clue I would be there a year later, which is what made this Fashion Week exciting for me. CONTINUED »

Forget the Crips and the Bloods: We have a new rivalry in America, and it's turning very ugly very quickly. At this week's Bravo A-List Awards, the Real Housewives from NYC and OC joined together to read a script during the ceremony. A bunch of she said/she said ensued, complete with actual claw marks:
'They [The OC Housewives] said in our material that my apartment is a two-by-four, and it’s actually a one-by-two, and so I can take it, I don’t care, [NYC housewife Bethenny] Frankel told People. 'But they’re offended that I’m saying something about them living 65 miles from the beach. [OC housewife] Jeana said, "I don’t think that’s funny."'
From there relations between the ladies apparently got extremely chilly. Jill Zarin from the NYC cast said, 'Bethenny gave a dressing down in the dressing room to one of the Housewives,' but OC cast member Tamra Barney tells the story differently.
Barney asserts that Frankel actually came after her physically: 'Bethenny scratched me a little bit. I swear to god. She tried to get me from behind and I put my arm up, and she scratched me. I covered it with makeup.' … Barney’s response? 'The Housewives of the OC can kick the Housewives of NYC’s ass!'
Oh, so is this how real housewives act? If that's the case, then someone needs to tell my mom, because she is obviously falling behind in the motherhood department.

It was a battle of the housewives at last night's Bravo A-List Awards as The Real Housewives of Orange County came Botoxed face-to-Botoxed face with The Real Housewives of New York City. We're obviously biased, so we'll allow you lovely readers to decide: Which coast won the red carpet?
