  • Kandi Burruss Addresses Pregnancy Rumors

    Kandi Burruss and her new husband Todd Tucker weren’t even down the aisle before pregnancy rumors started circulating.

    All summer, several media outlets speculated about the Real Housewives of Atlanta star being pregnant.

    Then, Todd only raised more speculation when he posted a picture of himself shopping for baby shoes.

    But, neither of them ever provided an explanation for the questionable post.

    So, the rumors continued. Now, she’s reportedly setting the record straight.

    According to Bravo TV, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter spoke out about the rumors on the Russ Parr Morning Show.

    She revealed she’s been aware of the rumors. She just never got around to addressing them. But, she isn’t pregnant at the moment.

    “I have all this stuff going on. Once things happen and I’m blessed with the situation, I’ll figure it out. Don’t we all?” she said on the morning show. “As far as I know, we haven’t had any luck getting pregnant. I’ve been seeing people tweeting…but I haven’t confirmed that,” she said.

    However, she did reveal that she’d like to have a boy whenever she does conceive! Since she already has a 12-year-old daughter, her response is a bit surprising. But, she also gave an explanation for her preference!

    “I always wanted to have a son,” Burruss said. “With girls, you’re scared somebody’s going to take advantage of them or something. I just feel like boys are easier. You don’t have to worry as much.”

    Burruss went on to discuss the abrupt cancellation of her tour earlier this month. For those who don’t know, the reality TV star signed a theatrical tour deal to take her stage-play A Mother’s Love on the road. Unfortunately, the tour was cancelled due to problems with the promoter.

    “Everyone was so disappointed and upset. We got so many great reviews in that first week. The cast was disappointed; all our fans were disappointed,” she said.

    “Normally, Todd and I like to control everything…in this situation, we handed it over to a promoter. It’s like you’re giving your baby to somebody, and you realize they didn’t do right. Basically, he just wasn’t equipped to handle the tour.”

  • Kandi Burruss Pulls a Chicken Van Halen

    Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss made news yet again recently when she and her husband, Todd Tucker, announced that they have landed a big production deal with Theatrical Works Live. The deal was a multi-million dollar bonanza for Burruss that would allow her to take her play A Mother’s Love on tour.

    “I’m excited to be able to partner with the amazing team at Theatrical Works Live to take A Mother’s Love on the road,” Burruss announced.

    “We worked extremely hard on our initial run of the show in Atlanta, and to be able to take it on the road and share it with people across the United States, is a feeling that is beyond words.”

    What seems to be raising more interest lately than the quality of the on-stage production of A Mother’s Love is the action backstage. Apparently Burruss is quite demanding when it comes to what she has backstage, and has a contract rider that is very specific.

    For example, the rider states that there has to be fried chicken in her dressing room. And not just any chicken — Popeye’s fried chicken. And don’t try slipping in any of the Colonel’s secret recipe, either. “Please do not substitute for KFC or Churches,” the contract states. “We know the difference.” However, though Burruss turns her nose up at KFC’s meat, she insists on their slaw.

    Other such demands include:

    – having a brand new toilet seat installed while her road manager or assistant looks on
    – an ample supply of Cottonelle toilet paper
    – plenty of Dove soap
    – a police escort to and from the venue
    – a black Mercedes Benz Sprinter

    Other stars have had famous contract riders, but the most famous by far was for Van Halen. For a long time it seemed to be urban legend that the band insisted on a glass bowl of M&Ms candies waiting for them backstage, but with all the brown M&Ms removed. Without that item, the band would not go on stage.

    But it turns out that the Van Halen rumor was true. Was it because they were divas? Hardly. The band says they had run into safety nightmares early in their career because their equipment needs specified in their contracts were not read through. So they buried little insistent items like the M&Ms in their contracts as a test to make sure venue and union management had read everything. If they arrived and saw no M&Ms, they knew it was likely that something had been skipped.

    Burruss’ tour begins September 4 in Columbus, GA.
