‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kim Zolciak did not take off her wig just yet but she is stripped off pounds of makeup to reveal what she really looked like before she became a hot real housewife (photos below).

The single mother-of-two confessed she didn’t feel comfortable in her skin but she is more confident now. “I feel most confident now, even versus a year ago,” she says. “And more beautiful than ever.”

Kim, who recently broke up with the mysterious ‘Big Poppa’, wants to purse career in music. Her first hit is “Tardy For The Party” (watch video here). Here are some highlights from Kim Zolciak’s exclusive InTouch interview:

How have you changed since your younger years? “I have black hair naturally, but my mom’s a hairdresser, so I’ve been blond gradually since 16, 17 and on. I was always a thick build. I had braces.”

You don’t hide that you’ve had cosmetic enhancements. “I just don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Some cosmetic enhancement is obvious. A lot of times, the people who aren’t talking about it are the ones who look horrible. I do Botox. I’ve had my boobs done twice. I started getting Botox when I was 25 for migraines. I recommend that to anybody. And VelaShape. I don’t know if it shrinks you, but it keeps you tone and taut.”

Would you ever do Playboy? “Probably. I’d have to talk to my children, because when you’re a mom, it’s not just you anymore. I think Playboy is very classy and sexy, but there’s a time and place for it. Kim Kardashian did it very tastefully.”

Would you get more surgery? “When I’m done having children, I’d be all for a tummy tuck. I would love a nose job, but I’m scared. I would do just about anything to maintain myself.”

What is the biggest misconception about you? “I’m not stupid, I’m not a homewrecker or a gold digger. But I don’t even care. I’m past that. I may not make all the right decisions, but I’m happy. I’ve worked so hard to get where I am. As a single mom, you can achieve your dreams, be successful, and be a great parent. Now I look back and think, “How could you think you couldn’t do it?”

The 37 year-old actress openly talks about sex and what women really want when it comes to that special moments of passion. Here are some highlights:

On what women talk about: “When you’re in the dating phase, you tell your friends everything. Was it big? Did he know what to do with it? Is he into oral? Everything. The dissection is complete.”

On post-coital feelings: “Nobody wants to feel like just a vessel. You want equal participation, so it’s not ‘68 and I owe ya one.’”

On oral sex: “If it’s a choice between a man who gives flowers and a man who enjoys giving oral, most women would take the oral. And it’s free. Oral sex is recession-proof.”

On getting off: “If both people can climax quickly, sex doesn’t need to go on for two hours — at some point, Law & Order is coming on! But it’s terrible if a man is two minutes and you’re nowhere close.”

Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman is sick and tired of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton publicly offending her after her emotional interview on ‘The Insider’ (watch video) by calling her a skank, slut and home wrecker so she delivered him an honest Twerbose (an extend Twitter rant!), according to PopEater.

Hailey basically just called Perez an attention whore and described him as a gay version of Michael Lohan. OUCH! Michael and Jon used to be best buddies. We give Michael a couple of hours before he comes out to respond to Hailey’s insults.

Hailey to Perez, “You are truly one of the worst people on the face of the Earth and the sad thing is everyone knows it including you.” Yep, there cannot be anything more insulting than being compared to Perez or Michael. [Read Hailey Glassman’s Complete Twitter Rant Below]

Who Was Eliminated On Dancing With The Stars Week 7? Another double elimination week started with a shocking surprise when Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff were placed in the bottom three, despite scoring 29 off 30 in their solo performance on Monday, and were forced to go through the dance off against Mark Dacascos and his partner Lacey Schwimmer.

The first couple to say goodbye to the competition was Michael Irvin and his partner Anna Demidova and after a nerve-wracking dance-off Aaron was saved by the judges, which means Mark Dacascos was eliminated.

Not everyone loves you, Aaron!) and revealed how she kept Aaron focused. “I didn’t let Aaron watch Mark’s dance or listen to what the judges said,” she explained. “Because I don’t want anything else going through his head.”

Kirstie, a former Jenny Craig spokesperson, has been constantly battling complicated weight issues – she lost 75 pounds to show off her bikini body on Oprah back in 2006 (photos below) only to gain 85 pounds again and weighing in more than 200 pounds.

Actress Nicole Kidman bares all and shocks us all with confessions of love and kinky sexual experiences in the latest issue of British GQ Magazine (December 2009). WOW, Nicole, the super hot sexy vixen, came out of the closet in this interview, revealing some intimate details of her life and marriage to actor Tom Cruise and country star Keith Urban.

The 42 year-old confessed to have experienced different types of love emotionally and physically. “I’ve explored obsession. I’ve explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I’ve explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I’ve explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy,” Nicole said. GASP!

On her marriage to Keith, the actress says it is a work in progress. “You work on it. It’s a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you’re very much out at sea. You’re exposed. You could drown. When you commit to someone like that, you live and die together by that decision.” A bit dramatic, isn’t she?

Nicole finally admitted that her marriage to Tom Cruise opened doors for her: “I became famous very young. I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody. I did a lot of good, worthwhile work in Australia between the ages of 14 and 19 and then I married someone famous. And really, despite the huge profile that brought to me, I was still finding my feet.

“I know my agents at the time were like ‘Do not get married! It will ruin your career!’ and I was like ‘But I’m in love’. All I know is that I wasn’t someone interested in fame. And that’s not why I got married. I wanted to work with people who intrigued me,” Nicole added.

Nicole also confessed to have burn all her private diaries she kept during her years with Tom after she remarried because there are some things she would not want to become public and she prefers to honor that marriage for what it is. Nicole and Tom have two adopted children, Connor Anthony and Isabella Jane, and Nicole also has a 1 year-old daughter Sunday Rose with her husband Keith.

Three missing Dickinson State (ND) softball players have been found dead in a car.  The Jeep automobile was pulled from a pond on Wednesday in Dickinson, North Dakota.

The three bodies found inside were Ashley Neufeld, 21; Afton Williamson, 20; and Kyrstin Gemar, 22.

The sunken 1997 Jeep Cherokee was found sunken to the bottom of the 12-foot pond by a search plane flying above it.

The Dickinson State University students were believed to be in the white 1997 Jeep Cherokee with California plates when two of their friends received telephone calls before the lines went dead. Police described the first as a “very scratchy” call for help in which one of the women said they were near a lake and water.

Banyai said the 12-foot-deep pond where the women were found is on a farm northwest of Dickinson, a city of 16,000 people about 100 miles west of Bismarck and 60 miles east of the Montana state line. Vehicle tracks were found leading into the pond Tuesday afternoon, he said.

Local police have ruled out foul play so far.  A memorial service was scheduled to be held Tuesday night on the Dickson State campus.

Patrick Swayze‘s wife, Lisa Niemi, speaks up for the first time about her relationship with the late actor, who recently died from pancreatic cancer, in a special appearance to promote the book ‘The Time Of My Life’ on Good Morning America on Tuesday (November 3).

“I’m a lucky woman to have had him,” Niemi told “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts today. “We’ve had an incredible life together, and we got to really see that.”

“I’m hanging in there,” Niemi said, adding that she’s still “riding that wave” of grief. “When I’m good, I’m good … but I forget that two hours earlier I was dissolved on the floor.”

This book written by Lisa and Patrick celebrates the life of the actor. There is only one final chapter that addresses the trials and tribulations of Patrick’s battle against pancreatic cancer but it does not cover his death.

Lisa prefers to recall good memories of their life together like how it was like falling for Patrick, an amazing dancer with a Casanova reputation. “I was still intrigued by this mysterious, beautiful girl, but she acted as cool as ever to me,” Swayze wrote. “But then came the moment we first danced together on stage. And suddenly, everything changed.”

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is reportedly cheating on his wife Gwyneth Paltrow with one of her fellow actresses and good friend, Kate Bosworth. According to Star, Chris and Kate were caught making out in at least two public locations in the past couple of weeks.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” an eyewitness tells Star in our Nov. 16 issue. “There was Chris totally making out with Kate in front of other people. At first I thought it might be Gwyneth, but when she came up for air, it was clear the woman was Kate!”

Another source close to the couple confirms their marriage is over and things just naturally developed between Kate and Chris. “Chris is totally Kate’s type, she loves the Brits like Orlando and James Rousseau,” says a source. “And she’s Chris’ type, too. A blonde bore, just like Gwyneth!” A blonde bore is exactly how I would describe both actresses… and Chris!!

Gwyneth’s rep completely denied this story, calling it a rubbish fabrication, and claimed the couple is considering taking legal action against the magazine. Is there anything to consider? If the story is fabricated why not sue!?!

A woman from Florida, Quinn Gray, is being accused of faking her own abduction and lying about being sexually assaulted during her captivity, which was reportedly a scheme orchestrated by her and her lover Jasmin Osmanovic to extort more than $50,000 from her husband Reid Gray (photos, mug shots and video below).

Quinn’s story was proven false during the police investigation. The manager of the hotel where Quinn was being held said she “didn’t seem to be in distress at all,” and a 90-minute audiotape captured the sounds of Gray and Jasmin “in the throes of passion, and then plotting the details of a fake kidnapping”.

Husband Reid is paying all the legal expenses, claiming that his wife is mentally unbalanced and Jasmin took advantage of her during one of her psychotic episodes. Reid is either a saint, blindly in love with this woman or he is hiding something because this whole story doesn’t make any sense. If your spouse was cheating on you and tried to extort money from you, would you be as understanding as Mr. Gray!?!
