Forget Real Housewives of Atlanta. Hello Real Eviction! The house NeNe lived in has an eviction. NeNe’s eviction response to press –

“It’s none of your business!”

Oh really?

NeNe tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution which ran the story to mind their own real business about the house that appeared in the Real Housewives series.

Where do they live now? “It’s none of your business.” She says she and Greg “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”

She adds the eviction doesn’t have her name on it “you don’t know my relationship with Greg … [The home] was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn’t work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do.”

Who is Big Papa on Real Housewives of Atlanta? Lee Najjar? Kim Zolciak reveals Big Papa of Real Housewives Atlanta has been identified by a website!  Is Big Papa Lee Najjar? Quincy Jones? Ted Turner?

Tonight is the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion broadcast.

And while other celebrity news sites this winter have been off reporting about yawn fests with other boring stories, LALATE has kept you glued on Real Housewives’ crazy drama before anyone else.

Let’s recap.

LALATE NEWS was the first news site to ask in October of 2008 who is Real Papa?

Last week, LALATE broke the shocker to you that Kim said she and Big Papa are split. But who was he?

Back in October, LALATE asked the question first …

…. is Big Papa Lee Najjar, Jared Najjar’s father?!!

Since then, some readers on LALATE have posted they believe it’s Quincy Jones. Sorry, it’s not Quincy Jones. Jones was last married to Peggy Lipton from 1974 to 1990 according to Wikipedia.Kim reminds viewers in a new People interview that Big Papa “is legally married … [and] He’s not black”.

So is it Lee Najjar as LALATE asked first? Watch what Kim tells People Magazines today about what she’s seen written online about her and Big Papa.

People Magazine to Kim: “Has anyone guessed [Big Papa] correctly?”

Kim: “Yes, I’ve seen his name stated on a couple of Web sites.”

Kim Zolciak in Playboy? Moreso, Kim Zolciak for a Playboy cover? Zolciak of Real Housewives of Atlanta make another big revelation this weekend.

Zolciak appears next Tuesday in the Reunion broadcast episode of the hit reality tv series. But this weekend, Zolciak is bringing out all the shockers.

First Zolciak reveals she has split with Big Papa.

But perhaps the biggest surprise — Zolick says:

“I’m actually 30, and [the controversy] is hilarious to me. In some of the clips there was a ton of makeup on me. In some of the footage I look like I’m 50 years old. I’m 30. I’m like a size 2. People tell me I’m so much prettier in person. TV makes you look so much different. I’m working on shooting a cover of Playboy. I guess 30 ain’t that bad.”

Notice Kim doesn’t use the word “spread” or “photoshoot” but says “cover”. No confirmation from Playboy if a cover has been offered to Zolciak.

Kim Zolciak and Big Papa have split! Kim Zolciak and Big Papa have broke up, the break up revealed by the Real Housewives of Atlanta star this weekend.

Kim Zolciak and “Who is Big Papa” has remained, strangely enough, one of the most read celebrity news stories on LALATE this winter. Last Tuesday was the stunning season conclusion of the reality tv series season. This Tuesday is the Reunion show. But in advance of that airing, Zolciak is giving her own shocker - she and the infamous unnamed Big Papa are DONE!

(Does she get to keep the Escalade?)

While LALATE has remained the top news site to cover Kim Zolciak and Who is Big Papa, Kim’s first opening question in a new interview this weekend is ironic - “How are the blogs treating you these days?”

Kim’s response:

“I try to stay away from them. Initially they were great, and they just got worse and worse. I don’t think people can see who you are from seven episodes that are one hour each.”

Wonder if Kim has been reading your comments on LALATE ?

And then the shocker about Big Papa -

Zolciak reveals: “I called off my engagement. The big news is that we are no longer together. I tried to avoid him being on the show. He wasn’t kept a secret for any other reason. He is estranged from his wife. There has been so much speculation, and it’s funny to me.”

Interesting how she says “I” called off the engagement.
