She's Used to Go by 'Kandi Girl'

Yhen Kandi Burruss first stepped out on the scene she used to go by Kandi Girl. Briefly. Gathered by Jermaine Dupri in 1990, the girl group, Excape quickly took over the Atlanta music scne. Their debut album "Humming Comin' At Cha," was an ode to JD's love for West Coast music at the time (He'd soon model Da Brat as a female Snoop Dogg). Burruss, who was in 11th grade when Excape's first album was released, quickly became known as "the cute one" in the group.
The group disbanded in 1998 after two more albums, but the initial success they enjoyed took its toll. Kandi is quoted as saying that the girls barely spoke to each other after the group ended. They all went their separate ways with most notably Tameka "Tiny" Cottle and Burruss becoming pregnant and raising kids.
Fast forward to 2009 and Kandi is enjoying the kind of marketing and promotion TV can bring with her success as a cast member of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". In the aftermath of the death of Burruss's former fiance A.J. Jewell, many questions surround the singer-producer and composer.
But word is that Kandi is in the midst of recording a solo album. From the adversity, Kandi Girl is set to rise again.

For Kim Zolciak, Life's a Beach

When the Bravo hit "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" hit TV last season, one of the more interesting story lines was Atlanta native Kim Zolciak's relationship with her sugar daddy, the oft-talked about "Big Poppa."
Kim was seen as a well-to-do glamorous single mother with great friendships with affluent African-American women who kept their dirty laundry to themselves.
But what a difference a year makes.
On Season 2, of RHOA, Zolciak is best known for having her wig yanked in and outside a restaurant than for anything else.
The class she showed in the first few episodesseconds of Season One? Gone quicker than the Chardonnay she downs on nearly every ep.
Is it all for TV or are she and Sheree/Nene (Mary?)/Lisa at war?
Whatever.
Zolciak is reportedly single and looking to mingle with the first partially married, balding billionaire she sees.
Zolciak, who reportedly used to be a medical worker at a nursing home in Lawrencevill, Georgia, seems to have won a golden meal ticket through it all: an alliance with music insider Kandi Burruss.
Zolciak's single ""Tardy for the Party, is good music ... if you like the sound of drunken banshees, but seriously, Zolciak has single handedly become a poster child for the anti-bully.
One question: Is it real or Femorex?
