Kim Kardashian and “Real Housewife” NeNe Leakes together in Midtown

Kim Kardashian and NeNe Leakes of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” hit the town together Wednesday night.

The two reality stars had dinner at STK, a swank new steakhouse in Midtown. As you’d expect both were dressed to impress. NeNe was rocking her short blond ‘do and wore a black leather jacket and distressed jeans while Kim wore her tresses long and was sporting a pair of black Christian Louboutins.

Kim’s here to film a guest role on “Drop Dead Diva,” the Lifetime show filmed in Peachtree City. Far as we know the two were just out having dinner, sans Bravo or E! cameras, although “Kim and NeNe Take Atlanta” does have a nice ring to it.

We’re told the ladies arrived without entourages and had a pretty low-key evening. They posed for this photo below with Joey Crawford, Atlanta radio sales marketing manager for Cox Media Group. He happened to be there with some colleagues when the two reality stars appeared.

NeNe has been expanding her repertoire, appearing not only on the “Housewives” but “Celebrity Apprentice,” and she filmed a guest role on “Glee.” Kim has her fashion line and a slew of reality show spin-offs (including one featuring her wedding, prior to a marriage that lasted 72 days). So maybe the ladies were swapping notes on cultivating ubiquity.

“Just wrapped my first day on set in Atlanta shooting ‘Drop Dead Diva!’ Getting ready for dinner with my favorite housewife,” Kim tweeted Wednesday evening. NeNe responded, “On my way.”

Later the two swapped nice messages about their outing.

“At dinner with my favorite Dash Doll Kim Kardashian; she is so sweet,” NeNe tweeted around 11:30 p.m.

“I’m still laughing out loud! Too much fun!” Kim responded.

I will give Leakes credit for milking her upstart “career” for all it worth the last few months. Sooner or later this one trick pony will fade into much welcomed oblivion. It’s been a long 15 minutes of fame.

As for Kardashian, making a mockery of the institution of marriage for camera face time is just wrong.

I simply think they are both trashy, money grabbing, fame whores who represent the lowest common denominator in society.

People who use the term “haters” are weak and have feeble minds. I don’t hate someone simply because I think they’re choices in life are skanky.

It’s really kind of weird and tacky to list what such D-list celebs ordered for dinner. Show that Atlanta isn’t some yokel desperately star-strucked city. It’s okay to state that the D-listers were at STK. But listing what they ordered was far too much and quite silly.

Jennifer,

Why must you continue to give exposure to one with zero values and the mind of a doorknob? Have you thought for a moment what this says about you? Are you infatuated with Kim Kardashian? Must be, that’s two straight articles with her name in it.

Maybe you could spend more or your time (our time) on men or women of talent, values and high moral character…not just fame. For me, there’s nothing interesting or in any way intriguing about a women and her family that are a bunch of kooks and willing to crawl in the bed with just about anything male. Doe this appeal to you, Jennifer?

Now, watch Jennifer remove this comment in 3…2…1….

To all the idiots who constantly criticize Jennifer Brett, please get a life. For the millionth time, this is an entertainment blog. It would be strange to write about DeKalb County’s budget, Republican Primary, etc. in this section of the newspaper. And as a former newspaper reporter myself, I’m sure Brett has probably cut her teeth in the newsroom and does not miss the daily grind of tracking down contacts, covering breaking news, etc. Covering entertainment and celebrity news for one of the major daily newspaper in the country? Sounds like a dream job to me. Brett, keep up the good work. Idiots, stop reading the blog if you don’t like what you see.

LOL) SINCE I’M UNEMPLOYED WITH A DEGREE AND CAN’T GET A JOB AS A BARISTA (YES, I’VE APPLIED) THE SUCCESS OF THESE IDIOT WOMEN INTRIGUES ME B/C THEY HAVE NO FORMAL EDUCATION, NO SKILLS BUT EXPOSING THEIR T&A, THEIR FACES AND MANUEVERING THE PR MACHINE TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. NENE’S COMES OFF LIKE A STRONG POWERHOUSE BUT SHE’S A WEAK, PUNKLET THAT DIDN’T EVEN FINISH CELEBRITY APPRENTICE. HER PERSONAL IDIOT RANT WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CHARITY. IDIOTS ARE WINNING! IF I HAD MONEY FOR 30 PAIRS OF RED BOTTOMS AND BIRKIN BAGS, I WOULDN’T SPEND ON THAT. I WOULD GIVE TO CHARITY, TRAVEL, INVEST. BOOHISS TO GIRLS THAT GREW UP BROKE THAT ARE NOW DIEHARD LABELWHORES!

I like both personalities I watch both shows, so what is the problem with them hooking up to go out to dinner together, Truly impressed with both Kim had silver spoon beginnings so to speak but she still did it her way no family fortune invested in making her way. NeNe just worked it and did it, so for that if applaude the ladies. Now for some of the things that have happened in their lives unfortunate. Who has a perfect life please let them cast the stone you deserve to do so and if you have it that way you should play your life out on TV then we can talk about you. KK enjoy yourself in the ATL Nene keep working it girl.

They don’t know how ridiculous and hypocritical they sound. Like someone else said, this is an entertainment site— she ( Jennifer) covers people in the news called celebrities. If don’t like it, read something else.

Are these two Hollytrash women really news? Maybe you consider this good journalism but like most modern media stalking the Kardashians and other tacky reality characters, integrity is not your strong suit. Neither NeNe or Kim are good role models for women. They are the epitome of what not to say, what not to do, how not to dress, and what not to become. Imagine your daughter worshipping the foul-mouthed NeNe and porn star Kim. Our society’s intelligence is on the line and going backwards.

Dear Catt S.,

Re: your question whether this is “news,” a Kim or NeNe fan (or fans of their shows) might consider this news. In general though I think it could more properly be deemed celebrity gossip. Serendipitously, the “Buzz” blog is labeled thusly at the top of the page:

“Celebrity gossip and news from Atlanta and beyond, from accessAtlanta.com.”

If you are looking for news it can be found numerous other places on ajc.com. The tab labeled “News” might be a good place to start. Here is the link:

I was watching Leno a few days ago and Khloe was a guest. First explained how she bought a sex swing for the bedroom which broke when 6′10″ hubby got on it. Then Kardashian spent the next five minutes introducing handbags and jewelry she is hawking. These chicks have no standards when it comes to whoring products.
