RHOA debuted their new ads recently and noticeably missing from the group was KZ&amp;#160; -- which birthed monstrous speculation that the housewife had been axed from the fifth season (&lt;em&gt;below&lt;/em&gt;). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0929-real-housewives-atlanta-5\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/09/29/0929-real-housewives-atlanta-7.jpg\" /&gt;But sources close to the production tell TMZ that KZ will DEFINITELY be in season 5, but only sparingly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told Kim was pregnant during production and producers made accommodations to feature her in the show on a limited basis. Our sources say she was ready to pop when the promos were shot ... ergo her absence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Kim's not too beat up about the lack of screen time. We're told her short-term series, \"&lt;strong&gt;Don't Be Tardy For the Wedding&lt;/strong&gt;\" -- which aired on Bravo earlier this year -- was a ratings hit, so producers decided to give KZ a full-time spinoff of her own, which is already filming in GA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bravo."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
