Real Housewives

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes says she's not out of the woods yet ... after doctors found blood clots in her lung.

NeNe was hospitalized last month. after suffering shortness of breath ... and that's when doctors found the clots.

NeNe was looking good at LaGuardia Airport in NYC and she gave us the low down on what could have been a fatal problem.

Porsha Williams has NOT been fired from "Real Housewives of Atlanta" ... but she may be on life support ... TMZ has learned.

Reports are swirling that Porsha is toast, but we're told she will absolutely stay on the show for the current season and she'll also be part of the reunion special.

But sources close to the production tell TMZ ... they're not THAT into her, because she's on the bubble for next season. Producers haven't decided whether they want to keep her or give her the ax.

Our sources say they'll wait till the reunion is taped before making their decision.

Awkward.

Bethenny Frankel tried to talk her way into TAO nightclub in NYC early last weekend ... and when her charm failed her, she tried brute force ... and that failed too.

You gotta see the video, but first let us set the stage.

Bethenny showed up at TAO for a private party, but she wasn't on the guest list so the bouncers blocked her. That's when Bethenny got PISSED and tried to strong arm her way in ... first trying to unlatch the rope and then trying to limbo under it.

Our Bethenny sources insist she was invited to the event, but someone screwed up and left her name off the list.

Camille Grammer's ex-boyfriend still hasn't been served with a restraining order -- even though the alleged attack happened in October -- because the guy's so slippery he's dodged them 29 TIMES. And the irony -- we know he's seen the docs because he was holding them on a TV show!

We broke the story ... a judge issued a TRO against Dimitri Charalambopoulos Oct. 29 ... after Grammer claimed he beat the crap out of her during an argument in their Houston hotel room.

But Dimitri hasn't been served with the court order. Grammer's lawyers say they've tried 29 times ... at his home, his parents' home, his kid's school and 2 letters to his attorney ... and they've struck out everywhere.

Here's the funny part ... Camille's lawyers say they KNOW Dimitri's seen the legal documents ... because he appeared on an entertainment TV show where the docs were shown to him.

According to new court documents filed this week ... Dimitri is bound by the terms of the restraining order ... whether he's been served or not -- so says the judge.

Kordell Stewart tried to legally block Porsha Williams from blabbing about his personal life on "Real Housewives of ATL" back in April ... but she blew him off and trashed him anyway, TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained legal docs showing the former NFL star approached Porsha back in April (right after he filed for divorce) and asked her to sign a confidentiality agreement ... in which they would both agree to keep their marriage problems private.

But Porsha -- probably knowing if she didn't talk about Kordell, she would lose screen time (and possibly her role on the show) -- refused to sign the document ... and turned up the Kordell-bashing to an all-time high. During the show, she even implied he was secretly gay.

The marriage officially ended last week -- and just a few days after the divorce was finalized, Porsha seemed extremely pleased with her new single status.

The nasty divorce between "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams and Kordell Stewart is officially over ... and Kordell says he couldn't be more thrilled to get such a horrible person out of his life.

TMZ spoke with Kordell's lawyer, Shiel Edlin, who tells us the divorce has been finalized ... ending the 2-and-a-half year marriage between the former NFL player and the Bravo reality star.

Kordell's lawyer says Stewart is "very disappointed" the marriage fell apart, because he expected to be married for life."

But the former Pittsburgh Steelers star is clearly still FUMING after Porsha began reigniting rumors that Kordell is gay. Kordell adamantly denied the allegations.

"For reasons we cannot understand, [Porsha] displayed a reckless abandonment of anything close to the truth over the last eight months," Kordell's lawyer tells us.

"We are also hopeful that Porsha will stop villifying Kordell at every opportunity."

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks' husband -- Apollo Nida -- definitely didn't text Kenya Moore for sex last year ... 'cause he tells TMZ, he just wanted to talk business.

"Sextgate" started on last seasons' 'RHOA' reunion show ... when Kenya implied Apollo was sending her inappropriate text messages after they apparently ran into each other in L.A.

But Moore and Apollo have both denied any wrongdoing since then ... and now Nida claims he only struck up the convo to propose that the two collaborate on a workout tape.

The tandem workout DVD never got off the ground ... 'cause Phaedra put the kibosh on the joint venture before Nida ever had a chance to make his proposal.

Joanna Krupa is firing back at Brandi Glanville -- claiming her lady junk does NOT smell funky ... and she's trotted out two character witnesses to vouch for the pouch.

Krupa was leaving Mr. Chow in Bev Hills last night when we asked about her stinky feud with her "Real Housewives" rival -- which escalated earlier this month when Brandi began to compare Krupa's nether regions to a sea creature.

But Krupa didn't only defend her lady scent, she went right back after Brandi's crotch -- telling TMZ, "I understand she's bitter because her hot husband left her ... maybe hers smells and that's why he left her."

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore says she's no sext-messaging slut hooking up with Phaedra Parks' husband ... and thinks he spun the whole lie just for attention on the show..

Parks' husband Apollo Nida claims Kenya had sexted him while they were both in L.A. last year ... and proposed a face-to-face hook up too.

Last night on 'RHOA' ... Nida said Kenya "wanted to f**k, ok, she wanted to have sex in L.A." ... although he denies anything ever happened.

Moore tells TMZ she and Nida did text each other -- but there was nothing sexual, and they never met up. She gave us screen shots of what she claims was their text convo last October.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Stewart screwed over her fans and essentially stole several thousand dollars, by showing up hours late for a scheduled event ... so claims the event organizer who was left in tears.

Tanika Olivier tells TMZ ... she hired Stewart to make a 4-hour appearance in Ocoee, Fl. Thursday night. She wasn't just an hour late... or 2 hours ... or 3 hours. She showed up 20 minutes before they folded up tent.

According to Olivier ... Stewart had a bunch of lame excuses -- her flight was delayed ... the driver took her to the wrong hotel ... and they had to make a stop to change into fresh clothes.

Stewart was paid $2K up front -- so claims Olivier -- and she had the nerve to demand the $2K balance. Things got ugly and cops were called.

Police told the girls to settle it on their own and Olivier reluctantly cut Porsha a $2K check... but she tells us she's decided to stop payment ... and she wants the initial 2K back STAT.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice says she's NOT a dirty, scheming liar who falsely claimed to be a realtor in 2005 just to get a bank loan.

Teresa -- along with her hubby Joe -- just left court in NJ where the couple pled not guilty to 2 new bank fraud charges stemming from allegations they filed a false application to get a $361k mortgage loan.

In the docs, officials say Teresa claimed she was employed as a realtor and made $15k per month. In fact, officials say, Teresa was "not employed outside the home at the time.”

If convicted, T and J could face up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

Camille Grammer is pissed off that her ex-boyfriend -- the guy who she claims beat her to a pulp -- is making his case to the media and AVOIDING doing the same in a court of law.

Grammer's lawyer, Larry Stein, just filed legal docs claiming Dimitri Charalambopoulos has been avoiding getting served with legal docs notifying him that he's required to stay 100 yards away from Camille.

Stein says he and his P.I. have been on Dimitri's tail, but he's been evasive ... but not so evasive as to turn down a chance to go on TV and explain that he's really a good guy who did no harm.

Stein wants the judge to decree that Dimitri is aware and bound by the restraining order.

9:39 A.M. PT -- NeNe just posted a message on her website saying she went to the hospital after feeling short of breath... and was diagnosed with blood clots in her lung. She says she's recovering at home now and she's "thankful to be alive." She also reassured her fans she did NOT have a heart attack.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes was hospitalized this week for a mystery illness ... and the reality star says she's "blessed to be alive."

NeNe posted a photo of herself in a hospital room on Monday with IVs in her arms along with the caption, "My arms are hurting wit these IV’s #blessedtobealive."

Just one night before she tweeted that she had been sick for the past couple of days ... but never specified what she was suffering from.

There's one more clue -- one of NeNe's followers tweeted that he thought Leakes was suffering from exhaustion due to her "grueling schedule" ... and NeNe rewtweeted the message, adding, "I work my butt off."

Story developing ...

Brandi Glanville isn't backing off her crusade to trash Joanna Krupa's vagina ... and when she got drunk this weekend, the attacks got even more vulgar.

TMZ cameras rolled as the "Real Housewives of Bev Hills" star was carried out of Fleming's steakhouse in L.A. -- and even though she could barely stand, Brandi managed to compare Krupa's lady parts to a certain unflattering sea creature.

Of course, Glanville first went after Krupa's lady parts on "Watch What Happens Live" last week ... when she claimed Joanna slept with Yolanda Foster’s ex-husband Mohamed Hadid … and Mohamed told her Krupa's nether region was straight up stinky.

As for Krupa ... she didn't seem too bothered this weekend, when she grabbed her husband Romain Zago and paraded around her ass by a pool in Miami.

Smells like a distraction technique.

Something stinks in the world of TV's 'Real Housewives' -- and big mouth Brandi Glanville claims the offending odor is coming from the vagina of a fellow housewife.

We're investigating, but not too closely ... 'cause, well ... y'know.

Taylor Armstrong says her "Real Housewives of Bev Hills" co-star Brandi Glanville is a trashy, classless liar who needs to keep her big mouth shut about Joanna Krupa… and her (allegedly) stinky vagina … TMZ has learned.

We ran into Armstrong and her posse outside Aventine this week in Hollywood … and she jumped to Krupa’s defense when our photog told her about Brandi’s latest round of cheap shots.

Brandi was on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ on Monday … and claimed Krupa slept with Yolanda Foster’s ex-husband Mohamed Hadid … and that Mohamed told her Krupa has unpleasant smelling lady parts.

Taylor didn’t exactly deny the accusations … but she did admit she’s not surprised Brandi would say such “gross and classless” things … ‘cause according to her, that’s just the kind of person Brandi Glanville is.
