Cougar's 15 Minutes and Confessions of a Shopaholic

Ironically, in commemoration of the opening of Confessions of a Shopaholic..........

Late Show - Where's Joaquin Phoenix? WTF?

What is wrong with Joaquin Phoenix. He does look like he has been hanging out with the Unibomber!

The following is an interview conducted by Atlanta's Sunday Paper (http://www.sundaypaper.com/) with our home girl, Kim Zolciak. It ran in last Sunday's paper. Check it out. I really appreciate her candor and honest, heartfelt answers. You go girlfriend!

"Q What would you say is people’s biggest misconception about you from the show?

A That I’m a gold-digger, and that I’m not a friend. I think they saw me bouncing from NeNe [Leakes] to Sheree [Whitfield]. NeNe and I have reconciled, we’ve talked about everything, we’re great friends, so maybe in the second season they may see me and NeNe back together. I think they see a different image of my real character.

What's going on with your music?

I’m working with a bunch of new people, which is very exciting but very, very stressful. I kind of knew Dallas Austin a little bit before I started to work with him, so it was a little easier. Now I’m working with all-new people and hopefully, I think we’re going to end up recording [during the] second season, and I think it’ll probably be out in the fall. Summertime, fall, when the season airs. I’ll be able to record on the show and then release it beforehand.

Any names we might know, people you’re working with?You’ll definitely know who I’m working with. But my contract’s a little tight right now so we’re negotiating that and when that contract’s signed and over and done with, then I’ll definitely blast who I’m working with.

How has your life changed because of the show?My life has completely changed in a very short period of time. My relationship has suffered, you know with Big Poppa. It’s been very difficult. You go from having a private life to all of a sudden, it’s all over. And especially with him being a mystery, or a secret, people have really tried to snap a photo or tried to get him and me together. My children have had a really hard time with people in school, they go to a very strict private school. You can’t even go to the grocery store, you know? Which is flattering, because without my fans I wouldn’t ever be where I’m at today. But there’s no more going to the grocery store, in and out. Even McDonald’s drive-thrus, you know? People recognize you, they want a picture. But all in all, it’s been a great experience.

Can you give us a preview of Season Two?I think Season Two’s going to be a lot different. I think we all learned from Season One, the mistakes that we made or we didn’t take it very seriously at times. And I think that when you’re presenting an image to America or you’re doing a reality show you’re going to get tore up, up one side and down the other. I think we’re all going to make changes. A new residence for some. Big Poppa may make an appearance, which is pretty exciting. And I have a big cover shoot that will be on the show. Very big.Can you talk about that yet?I can’t talk about it, but it’ll be huge. It is huge. It’s very exciting. It’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole life. You say on the show people don’t necessarily see your true character. Was I playing a character? No. All the footage you saw was in essence accurate. However, we filmed for a good four or five months, 12 hours a day, five days a week, and they take all these hours and combine them into seven one-hour episodes. So ultimately they take the worst parts, or the parts that are going to get controversy or what have you, and release that. So they created a character for me. I can’t sing, I’ve got a mystery sugar daddy, I drink, I smoke like crazy, I’m not a good friend—they created a character.

Anything you want to clear up for our readers?I never drink and drive. Ever. I mean, I have two little girls to live for, and the footage that they showed of that … And I can definitely sing. I think the footage they showed of Dallas and me was horrendous. We were in the studio for many hours that day, and they should have shown me giving it my all and not just really in essence speaking and getting comfortable with the equipment initially. But I’m ready to come back and show them who I am.

Are you still in touch with Dallas Austin?You know, Dallas spoke out about me on his MySpace page, which was pretty rough. I’m still not sure where that came from. Dallas has always been great to my girls, and I respect him. I’m not really sure. I didn’t reach out to him, and I haven’t, just because it’s been so stressful for me. But the only thing I can come up with is, I was pretty humiliated with the footage, too. And Dallas working with the people that he’s worked with in the past, and seeing that footage, it’s like they made a joke out of Dallas and I. And he was frustrated or humiliated by it. And I think, maybe that’s where the anger came from. I’m not sure why this all went on."

Octopussy Nadya Suleman Seeks Economic Stimulation Package From All of Us!

OMG! Now I have heard everything. This whacko with the worst nose job and overinflated lips ever is begging for money! She should have thought of this before she inseminated herself. In this economic climate, everyone worries about getting food on the table for a normal sized family and the public backlash is not what Chicken Lips expected. She is a certifiable nutcase and her doctor should have seen the signs. I think that he should lose his license to practice medicine. What a disgrace!

"Octuplet Mom: What a Tangled Web She Weaves
Posted Feb 11th 2009 1:00PM by TMZ Staff
Alert Congress, because America's favorite food stamp assisted, artificially inseminated, unemployed, Jolie-lipped loon mother of fourteen, Nadya Suleman, is looking for her very own bail out too ... from you!Octopussy has created a website where people can make donations, leave comments or send items to her and her eight biblically named rugrats via her Los Angeles publicist. Are press reps included in WIC? Let's hope the crazy doc/womb raider who implanted Octomom with all fourteen of her kids makes a hefty donation. But, regardless, whether you donate or not, one thing's for sure: We all support her (whether we want to or not)!"

The Flame Has Been Extinguished Forever!

For those of you who may have followed this blog last year, you may recall that I was totally crunching on one of my neighbors in our office building. He was a cute, charming sports agent and moved in in June. He never physically unpacked his boxes. It hit me a few weeks after I met him that this guy was a total player. I could totally see how he could suck in the parents of a prospective NBA player. I introduced him to one of my best male friends and he thought we were dating....farthest thing from the truth...he is CIT's husband. Anyway, I didn't see him at all after that! The office was totally dark and nothing had been unpacked as of last week! We finally saw the marshall come and put a notice on the door. The Flame is being evicted !!!! Bottom line: Slick had not paid rent since the day he and his partner moved in....the developer totally built out the brand new office for him and he did not pay one red cent in return. WTF? A total scam artist. I am so happy my radar was working so the Flame could not suck me into his nasty world. The Flame is officially extinguished as he came in over the weekend and moved his boxes out in the middle of the night. I hope that I never run into him again. Adios you loser!

Super Bowl Party was so much fun it lasted until Tuesday!

Super Bowl was so much fun! The Margarita machine arrived around 1pm so the party started around 2 for me. My guests arrived around 5 and we were ready to go. T prepared a football pool and I actually won about $170. We ate hamburgers, turkey burgers, veggie burgers and hotdogs from the grill with all the fixings... and also chili, potato salad, wings, cole slaw, buffalo chicken wing dip and 5 deserts ranging from dirt cake to cupcakes to chocolate cake to cookies and creme. Mr. Margarita did not pick up the machine until Tuesday morning so for me, the party continued on Monday night after work....about 20 degrees outside and drinking frozen margaritas. Noone did anything super crazy but a good time was had by all.

Such an exciting week for a shopaholic....but recessionista style

Shopaholic hits the theaters next Friday......I have read the entire Shopaholic series written by Sophie Kinsella and have enjoyed every moment. I can totally relate to the protaganist,as she has a ridiculous addiction/affinity for shopping. Unfortunately, in these times, many of us fashionistas have had to become recessionistas. How I long for a trip to the mall with alot of cash and a credit card without a balance but that isn't happening anytime soon. Business sucks right now and I hope that the stimulus package will start stimulating some economic activity for all of us because I want some new shoes!

I have always been a fashionista, raised by parents in the fashion industry. About a year ago, someone submitted me as a subject for our local paper's weekly commentary on people and their fashion idiosyncracies. About 2 weeks ago, I was contacted by a writer who wanted to interview me for a story. The photographer came out and snapped some photos of me, Mr. Big, my closet and my sacred collection of shoes and handbags. It will be appearing in the paper in the near future. For those of you who are hooked up with me through Facebook, you can see the link and all of the pics on my wall. As a recessionista, the only shopping I can do is right in my closet.
