Kenya Moore nearly thought love had passed her by.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star told People that while she knew she was always worthy of finding love, as the years went on, not having met a partner in life was sometimes difficult.
“I’m strong but of course, I get lonely,” the 46-year-old former Miss USA tells People in this week’s issue. “I’ve longed to have someone who steals my heart and who I can trust to be my best friend. I’ve heard the love stories. And after a certain amount of time you believe it will never happen for you.

It’s no secret that Joe Johnston’s Captain America: The First Avenger is currently shooting in England, and there’s some new video footage of the creation of 1940′s New York in Manchester.
We came across the Uso set earlier last month and filmed what we saw and now we’ve been contacted by Youtube user Jon B who has been documenting the creation of the Manchester set and the five videos below give an indication of what Johnston has in store.
Apparently construction is almost complete and the set is due to be closed off for a chase scene to be filmed.
Here are the videos, thanks to Jon B....

One has to hand it to the Tony nominators: They didn't follow conventional wisdom nor did they particularly pay heed to commercial considerations.
Indeed, some of the biggest noms went to shows that are either long gone ("Ragtime," "Finian's Rainbow," "In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play," "Time Stands Still") or lagging at the boxoffice ("Fela!" "Memphis," "Next Fall," "Million Dollar Quartet").
The biggest surprises Tuesday were the omissions.
"The Addams Family," the most successful new musical of the season, was thoroughly dissed, failing to get noms for best musical, for its stars Nathan Lane or Bebe Neuwirth, or even for its production design. And though it did get one for original score, that's not exactly a coup in a season in which only one other musical, "Memphis," even had one. The category had to be embarrassingly filled out with the forgettable music from "Enron" and Branford Marsalis' incidental music for "Fences.

Star Trek has been seen. Its world premiere happened last night, in Austin's Alamo Drafthouse where, Trek fans showed up expecting to screen a newly restored print of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and were instead treated to the first ever public showing of Jj Abrams' new Star Trek, hand delivered by Vulcan god Leonard Nimoy himself. Close friend of the Blend Jon B. was there, in the audience as it happened. Here he is with his report from the first ever screening of Star Trek: I found myself in the enviable position last night of seeing the world premiere of the new Star Trek movie. No, not in Australia- in Austin, TX, where the Drafthouse reigns supreme and Tim League has presented me with ridiculously more amazing movie experiences than I have any right to expect in one life.
