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." Jewell, died 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."

But Cottle has some drama of her own, in the form of her baby-daddy, rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris.

Just days after a judge ruled Sharon Stone could not move her son Roan to L.A., she was by his side in San Francisco.

Nikki Blonsky's brawl with Bianca Golden surprised most people, but not everyone.

More specifically, a well-placed source alleges that Nikki's mother, Karen, has more often than not made working with her 19-year-old daughter unbearable.

The source was not shocked about the Turks and Caicos rumble between the Blonsky clan and former America's Next Top Model contestant Golden and her mom, Elaine.

"I'm just surprised it hadn't happened sooner," the source says. "Her mom is so obnoxious and difficult."

Reports have claimed Brooke Hogan didn't visit brother Nick in jail yesterday on his 18th birthday. But she did.

And Brooke tells me she brought her younger bro a nice surprise: a young woman Nick "is very fond of."

Brooke says she flew Linda Oliver from New York to Florida so she could join the hourlong get-together. Nick can only talk with and see visitors via video.

Meanwhile, Brooke says that she and her mom, Linda, were just a foot away from each other for most of the time at the jail, but they "didn't even make eye contact."

The fur is flyin’ in Lindsay Lohan’s camp.

I just got off the phone with her rep, who insists Lohan did not steal that fur coat or any clothing belonging to the New York City model accusing her of theft.

“This is crazy!” says Lohan’s rep. “They are being paid for their interviews. I want that on the record. The bombing of Lindsay has to stop. She is in a good place right now. Why can’t everyone leave her alone?”

Model Lauren Hastings claims that she has witnesses who saw Lohan earlier this year going through her closet and handing a bag of her belongings to a bodyguard during a party thrown by a housesitter at Hasting’s New York pad.

And as you’ve probably heard by now, fellow New Yorker Masha Markova claimed that Lohan lifted her fur during a night out in NYC.

But that’s not all. The rep is already shooting down an upcoming tabloid report that says Lohan had a fling two years ago with Bobby Brown’s son, Landon Brown. “They might as well print I had an affair with him, too,” the rep said. “They’ll print anything.”
