Real Housewife of Atlanta Lisa Wu-Hartwell says she and her husband Ed were not evicted from their home. Responding to rumors that she'd lost her Georgia estate to foreclosure, the Bravo reality TV star tells Essence magazine, "We are not ignorant about the state of the economy, but we chose to move, we were not evicted. We've been settled in our home for two months now and we've owned it for five years, as well as other properties. We planned to build on that 10 acres of land and sell the property, but decided against it when the market went bad and I'm glad we didn't. It's just quite silly that there are reports that we were put out as if it weren't our decision to relocate. Our decision to downsize is what I call being [financially] responsible."

Sara Stokes
stabbed her husband. Remember Sara from Making the Band season one? She had that crazy husband Tony who Babs cut up because he thought he was the next Puffy? Well Sarah stabbed his ass. The official story is " Sarah and Tony were horsing around and Sarah hit the pavement with her face and somehow Tony got stabbed trying to help her up" but it looks to me like Tony tried to Chris Brown her ass and she stabbed him. Whatever the reason, Sarah stabbed Tony in front of their three kids, and got arrested for domestic battery on Aug 2.

Reggie Miller
is fighting back against those stalker allegations. Yeah so, 38 year old surf shop owner, READ: trust fund baby, Alex von Furstenberg hired a plane to fly a message to former NBA star Reggie Miller ordering him to stop pursuing married women, after Reggie allegedly stalked Alex' girlfriend [not wife], bombarding her with unwanted phone calls and texts. Well, Reggie says von Girlfriend was texting him back and even sent him some sexy pictures of herself. While von Trustfundbaby says Reggie waited outside a supermarket for over an hour hoping for the chance to meet von Girlfriend, Reggie maintains they met and exchanged numbers at a Laker game. Reggie also says while they rarely met up, they had a textual relationship for months till he broke it off and removed her name from his phone, at which time Reg swears von Girlfriend begged to get back on. Interesting to note: von Trustfundbaby was married to someone else when he started dating von Girlfriend. Ironic, huh?
