 When the Great Pop Culture Doomsday concludes, none among us will have houses left standing, let alone refuge, succor, or our Blackberries. In that sense, then, Real Housewives breakout NeNe Leakes was ahead of the curve by getting evicted from her mansion, but she is not going to take the attendant bad press lying down! Patiently, NeNe waited for Bravo himbo Andy Cohen to stop blogging about whatever "trashy hookaaa" he was fixated on, then hijacked Cohen's blog to release an official statement on the matter:
"The recent rumors alleging that my family faced an eviction are a huge misunderstanding and grossly inaccurate. I am truly blessed to enjoy a wonderful life and lifestyle. We have indeed moved to another home, but we did so on our own free will. We live in an absolutely beautiful home and we are fortunate to be able to live in the place of our choice. Unfortunately, there are many families who are facing real foreclosures and real evictions. That is not and never was the case with us. I know where we live and how we live, and for those blessings I am humbly thankful. It is disappointing that many members of the media have chosen to report gossip instead of news. Without wasting time on the details, the only thing I will say is that we were NOT evicted. Everybody knows that I like to be honest, real and upfront. If something was wrong, I would tell you! Thank you for your well wishes. However, please know that my family continues to be abundantly blessed, and that Miss NeNe has not skipped a beat!"
Looks like those novenas worked, Anderson. We must say, we're a little uncomfortable now that the assertive, always on top NeNe's been put on the defensive. Let's just hope that no matter where she ends up, she won't be reduced to panhandling outside a Chili's, holding the sign, "Why lie, I just contracted fake cancer. Please help!"
NeNe Speaks [Bravo]

 No, it's not his Chico's lovin' mom.
The man who took home eight gold medals from the Beijing Olympics also took home something from his recent trip to Vegas. And it wasn't cold, hard, cash. Nope, Mikey's got himself a new gal and her name is Caroline "Caz" Pal.
So what makes Caz so special? She's no Olympian, but she does serve up a mean cocktail (or so we're told). The 26-year-old Las Vegas waitress works at the Palms Casino Resort's Moon Nightclub, where Phelps has been busy pulling a Clooney and perfecting his poker game.
This ain't no one night stand. Caz spent Thanksgiving in Baltimore with Phelps and his family, and Phelps is planning on spending a whole lot of time in Vegas in order to participate in the 2009 World Series of Poker.
A shared love of casinos and booze? Sounds like a match made in heaven.
Let's just hope she knows how to swim.
