We're happy to report that Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss is holding up OK these days.

As most know, the 33-year-old's former fiancé, Ashley "A.J." Jewelldied earlier this month following a fight outside an Atlanta-area strip club. His funeral was held on Friday in Georgia.

"She's doing much better," Burruss' former Xscape bandmate and close pal Tameka "Tiny" Cottle told us last night at Philippe West Hollywood for the celebration of Kobe Bryant's L'Uomo Vogue cover. "She's a strong girl."

"I speak to her every day," she said "I go and visit her. I went to the funeral. Whenever she needs me, I'm there."

In the comedy bit, he plays a pistol-wielding robber.

"When someone saw Zach hold up a real gun and scream, 'This is a goddamn hold up!' they called the police," Bundt owner Chrysta Wilson tells us.

And get this, the cops were called a second time during another take of the same scene.

Caroline Manzo, the matriarch of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, has no desire to be friends with Danielle Staub.

However, she insists, it has nothing to do with learning that Danielle has a sordid past that includes a major run-in with the law when she was hanging with some very shady characters.

Read on for Caroline's take on Danielle's former life, her dirty dancing with son Albie and why no one should be offended by the antigay slur hurled on last night's episode by Teresa Giudice's husband, Joe.
