Real Housewives

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes is being sued by her "celebrity wedding planner" -- who claims NeNe racked up a MILLION DOLLAR bill for her big day ... and never paid, TMZ has learned.

The woman going after Leakes is Tiffany Cook -- who claims NeNe hired Dream Design Weddings to coordinate the party for her marriage to Gregg Leakes on June 22, 2013 ... a wedding that will featured on a Bravo TV special in September.

In her suit, filed in Georgia, Cook claims Leakes promised to pay her 15% of the entire wedding budget PLUS fees design and execution of the wedding PLUS travel expenses to the event.

In total, Cook claims NeNe's budget for the wedding was $1.8 MILLION!!!!!!!!! And Cook claims she was due $270k (the 15%) PLUS another $889,900 (design fees) PLUS $1,750 (4 coach tickets from Florida to Georgia).

Cook claims NeNe did fork over the initial down payment ($18,750) ... but she hasn't seen a penny since -- and is suing for the remaining $1,142,900 balance ... PLUS damages.

In total, Cook -- who also put together Kordell Stewart's wedding to Porsha -- wants more than $2.5 MILLION for her troubles.

How's THAT for a wedding gift???

A rep for NeNe tells TMZ ... Cook was NOT the wedding planner, it was a man named Tony Conway, who made Nene's wedding spectacular.

The rep adds, "This lawsuit has no merit and it appears to be a baseless attempt to grab 15 min of fame."

Former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Lynne Curtin might not be on the show any more ... but Uncle Sam wants a piece of the green she made while she was, TMZ has learned.

According to docs ... the IRS filed a tax lien against Curtin claiming the former reality TV star needs to cough up some more tax dollars from the year 2009 ... to the tune of $32,006.24.

Lynne joined "Housewives" in 2008 (Season 4) and left in 2010 (after Season 5). Which means the money she allegedly failed to pony up in 2009 ... is partly "RHOOC" gold.

It's been a rough year for Lynne, as TMZ previously reported, she and her husband called it quits on their marriage after 22 years. He is NOT listed on the lien.

A rep for Lynne tells TMZ, she was unaware of the lien and her attorneys are looking into it.

#RichPeopleProblems ..."Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Yolanda Foster doesn't have enough time to use her spare penthouse in Canada -- so she's selling it -- for $5.25 million.

Our real-estate sources in maple country tell us, Yolanda and her Canadian husband -- mega composer David Foster -- listed their 4,400-square-foot British Columbia penthouse, overlooking the harbor in Downtown Victoria.

We're told the couple bought and re-vamped the place 6 years ago as a vacation home for the whole family. But every time the group gets together, they end up boating instead. Who wouldn't?

Since they rarely use the place, we're told the duo would rather just have a boat in Canuck country -- and they put the pad up for sale.

As for the apt -- which Yolanda decorated -- it's 3 bedrooms, 4 baths, two stories, city and harbor views ... AND comes furnished with rich people stuff.

You ever hit the bars so hard, you can't walk straight, you show everyone your ass, and your boobs fall out of your dress?

Yeah ... that happened to Brandi Glanville last night.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star was stumbling around West Hollywood after what appeared to be a high-end bar crawl that started at The Abbey ... moved to Dan Tana's ... and ended at the London Hotel.

Good news -- it appears she took cabs everywhere.

Ex-NFL star Kordell Stewart scored a legal touchdown ... when a judge sided with him and ordered his estranged wife Porsha Williams get the hell out of their marital casa.

TMZ broke the story ... Kordell and the "Real Housewives" star are in a nasty divorce battle. Recently, Porsha asked the court allow her to keep using the couple's GA mansion, after Kordell changed the locks, arguing she had no place to go.

Kordell fought back. He denied the lock-out and asked the judge to shoot down her request.

Then on June 18th the Fulton County Court judge sided with Kordell, temporarily granting him the exclusive right to use the crib ... and ordered Porsha to move out.

It's not all bad news for Porsha ... the judge also ordered Kordell to cough up $5,000 / month in alimony for the next 3 months, hand over all of Porsha's belongings and pay for moving costs and a storage unit while she transitions.

And not everything is set in stone, the court will issue a final decision at a later date.

Kim Zolciak isn't trying to smoke out her fetus -- and instead claims the shots of her puffing a cigarette while pregnant were NOT shot yesterday ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Kim tell us, she has sent a cease and desist letter to the agency ... accusing them of purposely deceiving the public about 2 sets of photos they shot.

Kim is claiming the shots of her smoking were taken quite some time ago ... though she doesn't remember exactly when.

We're told Kim says she was actually photographed yesterday by the agency (above) -- while wearing black sweat pants -- but not smoking.

According to our sources, Kim feels the agency defamed her by creating a made-up scandal -- and she also claims the photog was trespassing when the smoking pics were taken.

Sources tell us the independent photog, who works for the agency, was on private property ... so they've pulled the smoking photos.

Matt Kemp may be on the disabled list ... but his wallet sure isn't. The L.A. Dodger is forking over $30,000 A MONTH to live in Tamar Braxton's old mansion, TMZ has learned.

We broke the story, Tamar and her hubby -- bigwig record producer Vincent Herbert -- sold their Hidden Hills, CA home for $6.9 million earlier this year ... scoring a $3.5 million profit.

Now we've learned Matt signed a one-year lease for the 11,700-square-foot digs from the new owner -- real estate mogul Carlton Gebbia from "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

As for Matt's temporary crib ... it has 5 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, home theater, espresso center, a mirrored elevator, massive pool and spa.

Miss Utah is now in the beauty pageant Hall of Fame -- not because she won Miss USA, but because she bumbled through a cringe-inducing (and hysterical) 30 second answer that included the phrase, "create education better."

Judge Nene Leakes asked Marissa Powell about women in the workplace and equal pay -- which sent 21-year-old Miss Utah into a tailspin of a reply.

She starts out kinda strong, saying ... "I think we can relate this back to education, and how we are continuing to try to strive to ... " -- and then the fail begins.

Pretty sure you can see the smoke coming out of her ears as the implosion begins.

She's really pretty though.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Jacqueline Laurita will NOT have to live in a cardboard box ... TMZ has learned she struck a deal with her bank and SAVED her mansion from foreclosure!

TMZ broke the story ... the reality TV star was sued by Hudson City Savings earlier this year. The bank claimed JL missed a mortgage payment on her 5,600-square-foot crib -- a cool $10,175.

Here's the kicker ... under the housewife's contract, one missed payment meant the bank could demand the entire balance owed, which it did. When JL couldn't cough it up ... HCS asked to foreclose.

But good news ... Jacqueline managed to strike a deal with the bank outside of court, and in return Hudson City Savings dropped the suit. The case was dismissed on April 17.

Now if only that little tax problem could go away ...

What's more distracting than Joanna Krupa's giant boobs spilling out of a skin-tight gold dress? Her humungous DIAMOND ring ... a ring SO BIG it blinded half a city block (maybe) ... and we got it up close.

Our photog spotted the "Real Housewives of Miami" star Saturday night in L.A. and asked to see the massive rock on her finger, considering JK tied the knot Thursday with Romain Zago ... in a wedding that reportedly cost $1 MILLION.

You may have seen pics, but nothing can prepare you for how HUGE the radiant-cut yellow diamond is up close ... seriously, you have to see it. Even Jennifer Aniston would be jealous.

Brandi Glanville is blaming the whole stolen dog thing on her assistant -- TMZ has learned, the "Real Housewives" star has FIRED her right-hand woman for not taking better care of the pooch.

The 23-year-old ex-assistant -- who didn't want to be named -- tells TMZ, "I no longer work for Brandi. She texted me [Saturday] saying that I didn’t do my job by losing the dog."

As we reported, Brandi's Encino home was burglarized last Wednesday while she was in Palm Springs -- or so the assistant claims -- and someone made off with her beloved Chihuahua Chica.

After the alleged burglary, Brandi said she did NOT want to blame her assistant -- the last person to be with the dog before it vanished -- but something must have changed ... because the asst. tells us, that's exactly what Brandi did by giving her the chop.

Now the assistant's upset -- telling us she did everything in her power to make sure Chica was safe (double checking the doors, closing all windows, locking everything) and firing her just isn't fair.

Oh yeah, she also says Brandi still owes her for two weeks' work ... more than $1,000. Chica's still missing.

Kenya Moore is no deadbeat renter ... and according to the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star the landlady trying to evict her is, like a plugged-up toilet ... full of crap!

Kenya's being sued for eviction by Conya Weems-Dillon for allegedly coming up $848 short on her May rent (a cool $3,999 / month) and breaking several terms of the lease agreement.

Now, Kenya has fired back with her own lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- claiming Weems-Dillon is lying and plotting to intimidate her into moving out of the 6-bedroom, 6-bath house.

In her suit, Kenya says she's paid rent in full for May AND June ... and claims her landlady constantly enters the house without notice.

She also alleges Weems-Dillon made up the conflict over the lease in order to sell a story to the media ... and the eviction is just the landlady's latest attempt to damage her rep.

Weems-Dillon's attorney hasn't returned our calls for comment.

Kenya's countersuing for wrongful eviction, slander and emotional distress ... she claims she's been "shunned" by friends since the eviction story broke.

"Real Housewives of Bev Hills" star Mauricio Umansky snuck a handful of his wife Kyle Richards' butt on the way out of Bootsy Bellows nightclub in Hollywood last night.

Taylor Armstrong does not believe a word Brandi Glanville says about her missing dog, calling the idea that the pooch was stolen just "a publicity stunt."

It didn't sound like a publicity stunt when Glanville called in to "TMZ Live" yesterday and began bawling hysterically as she talked about how someone broke into her home and stole one of her dogs.

Brandi's story is a little off (or at least, her assistant's version of the events is) and Taylor was in full agreement as she slammed her "RHOBH" co-star on her way into Aventine in Hollywood last night.

Whatever happened, let's just hope little Chica gets home safe.

Brandi Glanville broke down in tears on "TMZ Live" Friday while talking about her dog that may have been "stolen" from her house ... a theft that has some very strange markers.

TMZ broke the story ... Glanville returned home from Palm Springs after her assistant informed her someone had broken into Glanville's home and made off with her chihuahua Chica ... but nothing else -- nothing.

Glanville said it seemed odd that the dog was the only thing taken, but told us, "I don't wanna blame my assistant. I don't know if she lost them and is making up the story and only found one … But I have to believe what she tells me because I don't know."

Brandi Glanville claims someone BROKE INTO HER HOME AND STOLE HER DOG ... and now the "Real Housewives" star is on a mission to get her back.

TMZ spoke with Brandi ... she was in Palm Springs with Lisa Vanderpump and Yolanda Foster earlier this week, when she received a call that someone had busted in to her home in Encino, CA and made off with her dog Chica ...her precious chihuahua.

Brandi tells us ... she immediately drove home from Palm Springs and began searching everywhere for her pet.

Brandi says ...when she searched the home, she found a screen on a bathroom window had been ripped open -- the obvious point of entry for the bad guy.

We're told NOTHING else was missing from the home.

Brandi says she filed a report with the LAPD.

Brandi says she's received calls from people claiming to have the dog -- but they've all turned out to be hoaxes.
