Pregnant ‘RHOA’ Star Porsha Williams Hospitalized
‘RHOA’ Star Kandi Burruss Planning To Use Surrogate
NeNe Leakes asked her 2.7 million Instagram follow- ers for well wishes on Sun- day, after revealing her “Real Housewives of Atlanta” co- star Porsha Williams had been hospitalized.
“Send some prayers and good vibes to our Tink Tink @porsha4real today #good- vibesonly #babyPJisdo- ingfine #aunteenene #babyboom #RHOA11 ,” Leakes, 50, captioned a photo featuring an arm with an IV.
Williams, 37, who is ex- pecting her first child with fi- ancé Dennis McKinley, was said to be “experiencing extreme pain” as a result of fi- broid complications, a source told Us Weekly.

“I’ve had a miscarriage be- fore in my past, which I’ve also been open about because
I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy,” Williams told People. The Bravo personality previously spoke about fibroids follow- ing her pregnancy reveal in September.
Described as a “surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids, also called leiomy- omas,” by the Mayo Clinic, “the surgeon’s goal during a myomectomy is to take out symptom-causing fibroids and reconstruct the uterus.”
Williams’ hospitalization comes on the heels of former castmate Kenya Moore‘s baby news. On Sunday, she and husband Marc Daly welcomed their first child, daughter Brooklyn Doris.
KANDI BURUSS-TUCKER AND TODD TUCKER
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are planning to have more kids.
The couple, who star on
“Real Housewives of Atlanta”
and welcomed their first child, Ace, in 2016, are in the early stages of locking down a surrogate, Burruss told Us Weekly.
“We did find someone, and right now we are in the process – you know it hasn’t been done – but we’re in the process,” Burruss, 42, said. Burruss, who’s been mar- ried to Tucker since 2014, admits she’s a bit “nervous” about moving forward be- cause it’s all so foreign to her. “Like, I don’t have anybody
who can tell me [about it],” she added. “When we were going through the IVF process, I did have a couple of friends who had done it, so, you know, I could talk to them, but this is a situation where I don’t have anybody I can talk to.”
The couple has two girl embryos left and is planning to use them.
They’ll be following in the footsteps of Kim Kar- dashian, Tyra Banks and Nate Berkus, who’ve all used surrogates to expand their families.
Both Burruss and Tucker have older daughters from previous relationships.
Idris Elba Named People's Sexiest Man Alive
Sure, he might have already received the title of Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to drama — but Idris Elba has now been crowned Sexiest Man Alive!
From his breakthrough role in America as drug king- pin Russell “Stringer” Bell on HBO’s hit series The Wire to his commanding por- trayal of Norse God and As- gardian gatekeeper Heim franchise, the British heart- throb, 46, has become one of Hollywood’s biggest — and sexiest — stars.
So what did Elba think when he first heard about his latest title? “I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?'” the actor tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “Looked in the mirror, I checked my-

self out. I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.’ But to be honest, it was just a nice
feeling. It was a nice surprise — an ego boost for sure.”
Elba is PEOPLE’s 33rd Sexiest Man Alive, joining a long list of Hollywood’s hottest, starting with a then- 29-year-old Mel Gibson in 1985 to last year’s pick Blake Shelton.
Though he was an athlete at his all-boys school in Lon- don, playing first-string foot- ball, basketball, cricket, hockey and rugby, the actor insists he went through an awkward phase first. “I was very tall and skinny,” says the 6’3′′ Elba. “And my name was Idrissa Akuna Elba, okay? I got picked on a little bit. But as soon as I could grow a mustache, I was the coolest kid on the block. Grew a mustache, had some muscles, bonkers.”
