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! In the words of Phaedra Parks, “Everybody knows” that you can’t get all your info from the tweet of a frenemy, so we checked the Fulton County property records and found . . . .

The second season of Teen Mom 2 premiered last week to the highest premiere ratings of any premiere in either of the Teen Mom franchises with 4.15 million viewers. The high numbers didn’t go unnoticed by the tabloids, who have once again cranked up their coverage of the four young moms, including an In Touch cover story on Leah and Jenelle with the headline “Teen Mom Shockers: Shotgun Wedding & Prison Baby!”
