My Celebrity Life-Two popular Atlanta restaurants are joining forces after a nasty fire burned one of them down. R&B singer and former “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” star K. Michelle has been running Puff & Petals on Edgewood for three years while veteran restaurateur Shema Fulton has run Pearl Restaurant and Lounge for 14 years. But last September, Pearl went up in flames after a fire spread into her location from a neighboring tapas restaurant. “Pearl was such a staple in the community,” K. Michelle said at a recent interview at the AJC. “It was like losing a child,” Fulton added. “I walked in and you didn’t even know where you were. Everything was just scorched.”Fulton, who consulted with K. Michelle on Puff & Petals, said she decided it was better to relocate than rebuild.   12/17/2019 -- Atlanta -- "Love and Hip Hop" alum K.
