I’ve got nothing.

With her newfound notoriety, Zolciak says she now has an appreciation of what it’s like for other celebrities. “I feel bad for Britney Spears,” she says.

“I look at her and I’m like they just tear up one side and down the other! Then the next month, she’s doing so great. She’s lost weight. She’s a great mom all of a sudden. I kind of sympathize with her because I take a lot of that heat myself.”

Zolciak also identifies with Michael Jackson. “I understand the fame,” she says. “My life changed in such a short period of time, I can’t imagine what he dealt with. Sometimes, emotionally, it’s taken its toll on me, never mind him who is far bigger worldwide.”

In fact, her attitude can be summed up succinctly: “I look at it like negative press is better than no press,” she says of her critics.

“People write ‘Kim Zolciak sucks, Kim Zolciak is this,’ ” she says. “It’s like, really? Thank you for that comment. At least you’re putting my name out there.” [source]

Right.
