The drama surrounding his arrest will probably be covered later this season.

Congratulations to Ashley Danielsen, older sister of Teen mom star Farrah Abraham, who made the announcement a little while ago that she is 11 weeks along and has a due date of June 29! Actually, Ashley might be a good choice for a reality show because she is no stranger to drama, having made headlines last September by reportedly getting into a “boozy brawl” with Farrah and then tweeting in August of this year that her boyfriend had been taken to jail after punching her in an altercation.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Atlanta Kim Zolciak moves her family (including new baby KJ) into her dream house! The Roswell, GA house is listed at $3.25 million, and while the listing was recorded as being removed from being on sale May 1, 2011 on Zillow.com, it looks like the last time it sold was 2007.
So, based on that, and the fact that Kim’s frenemy tweeted that Kim was renting the house from someone named Kendra, it looks like Kim is renting her dream home! Not that that’s a bad thing!
