Dec. 11 2009, Published 7:57 a.m. ET
Fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta should be warned: NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak — who got in a bit of a physical scuffle last season — might not be returning for Season 3. The New York Daily News cites a source who says the twosome are asking for more money than Bravo wants to pay them, and therefore might just not pay them at all.
"Bravo has been taking meetings with some notable and wealthy Atlanta women about possibly joining the show," says the insider. "They're trying their best to keep the process under wraps, but they're gearing up to make a major move in the third season."

The source says that the newcomer will either be an added presence to the show or be a replacement foor NeNe or Kim.
"Things with NeNe and Kim have been intense," says the source, "but Bravo feels the show is about the franchise as a whole and won't let one person stop it."
Bravo had no comment on this report when contacted by OK!.
