Nene Leakes was a guest co-host on the Talk today and she looked great. She has a lot more hair (but still the same length) and it’s more of a yellow color. At first I was giving it the side eye but the more I watched the more I think I liked it. She is interacting well with the other ladies and she was able to defend Brandi Glanville a bit after the other ladies made it look like it was all Brandi out in the media without being aggressive or rude. Nicely done. [Side Note: What is going on with Sharon Osborne? She is never there anymore.]
Nene tells The Talk that part of the reason Nene and Gregg divorced is that she was in the shadow of her successful husband, Gregg. (Um, really? Remind me again what business he was successful in?) Then we the show came along and she became successful it can start conflict. Gregg struggled with Nene’s success. Nene felt Gregg was not doing all the things he should be doing as a husband so she decided to divorce him.
Nene says she felt like she was not getting the amount of respect from him that she felt she deserved. There were also deeper issues that she did not specify. Julie Chen asks about Nene alluding to in the Ebony article that Gregg’s ego suffered and he dealt with it with a wandering eye. Chen says it seemed like it wasn’t just the two of you in the marriage. Nene responded with “Well, it certainly wasn’t three of us because I couldn’t handle that!….Gregg did something that I did not approve of.” Nene says they were separated for about a year and a half, they were legally divorced and they are back together. And of course, Gregg is right there in the studio with her as usual.
Perez Hilton was seated right night to Nene Leakes for his segment. That seems crazy to me. I don’t read Perez but as a blogger I can assume that Perez’s site has covered some of Nene’s less flattering moments. Awkard.
We all know Nene is desperate for a talk show. She co-hosted Anderson Live recently with Rosie O’Donnell and since then has been hinting that there is a talk show in her future. Nothing has been signed yet but she is putting together a good reel. It seems like she has been taking diction classes and hosting classes because she is really improving overtime. She seems a lot more comfortable on talk shows both as a guest and as a guest host. I’m starting to think she might actually get a show. Love her or hate her, Nene Leakes is working her fifteen minutes of fame!
Nene looked awsome she’s a natural love how she came to Brandi’s defense. I think leanne does thing to make Brandi look bad in the press…
seriously both ex husband and leanne do, because they didn’t expect for brandi to be successful, and very much liked.
Last I read about Sharon is that she quit or was quitting the show because the way NBC handled a deal with her son and his MS diagnosis. She said he was offered the deal and they bailed on it when he was diagnosed days later. The network/show said it was a deal in the works, no contracts drawn yet and they were going in a different direction.
Some men cannot handle it when the women becomes more successful than they are. When a man has been the bread winner and later becomes unemployed or something, it is a hit to the male ego. Men are raised to be the provider. I’m not sure what the new school of thought is?
No that was for America’s Got Talent. She kept her job at The Talk because it is on CBS not NBC. She was out for awhile with Jack’s MS, then she was out for awhile for Jack’s wedding. Then she was back. Then took a couple days off and then she was supposed to be back this week but I missed the first 90 seconds of the show so I don’t know if they explained her absence or not.
The reason I asked is because there are RUMORS that Kelly could be about to do a quickie wedding. They were actually started by Sharon herself when she said to some reporter about Kelly’s relationship with her boyfriend something like “You never know, those two could get married tomorrow.” I assume she was mostly joking. But she may be planning a wedding again.
Julie seems to fawn all over Sharon so she can probably get away with all the time off she wants.
Ooh. I didn’t know The Talk was on CBS. Then I stand corrected and have no clue. 🙂
I watched an episode of The Talk with Sharon saying that she was having her breast removed. She found out that she has the gene for breast cancer.
The Talk is on CBS, not NBC so I don’t see her quitting for that reason. She did however, quit X Factor because it was on an NBC station. I haven’t heard any news on why she hasn’t been there.
I have loved Nene from day one she is growing up and become a successful woman and I hope to see her own talk host show 🙂
LOL! I can’t believe this! Am I on the right blog??? Tamara just gave Nene props???? Truly, growth is a beautiful thing. 😉
Barely gave props…still had to give a dig though…I adore NeNe and her authenticity in her personality is keeping her right in hollywood…Kenya too poor notes trying to imitate her…lol
I know… right? Tamara saying something even remotely complimentary about NeNe Leakes is monumental! Perhaps NeNe’s not the only one growing up! Way to pull up your big girl panties!
NeNe I do not believe your spin spin spin about your divorce honey.
I will say it in every forum when the subject comes up. You divorced Greg to save your money from creditors from his bankruptcy filing. It was a divorce in legal documents only. Though you played a divorcee on tv, that man never let your side or your bank account.
You are correct Ms. Franklin. I’m am just reporting her spin of the day. It was very coherent and well-thought out.
Why would creditors come after Nene’s money if Greg filed for bankruptcy? What assets did they own jointly?
They share joint debt–period. Creditors could legally come after NeNe’s finances–as Greg’s legal spouse–for reparations. It was a smart and very savvy move on their part to get divorced. Of course, you cannot announce this to everyone or else your cover’s blown! Plus–she got a little camera time because of the storyline on RHOA. The whole newly single NeNe storyline last year showed her flirting with disaster and collecting gifts along the way. Oh, what fun!!!
sharon said she was having a double mastectomy…maybe she is on leave for that?
I believe Sharon had a double mastectomy a while back – like last Christmas, but waited a while before making it public. I think she just has it in her contract to take as much time off as she wants. Maybe Ozzy is touring and she’s with him? She is his manager….
OK… here’s what I can tell so far. Ozzy has been on tour for the past 18 months and finished his tour in late September/ early October. Sharon asked the people at the Talk if she could take some time to spend with him and that she would return.
I love how with every new wave of Nene Stans, they seem to think each positive Nene post is the first one here and they are somehow resposible. I won’t even mention I was the first website to break the whole Nene is in Glee story. ANYWHERE.
I don’t watch this show, but am very interested in what was said about Brandi and how Nene defended her. Do tell……………….
Cannot stand nene. She makes my toes curl when I hear her and NOT in a good way! You can’t count on nene to be consistent, one day she’ll like someone, the next day she’s a hater. My opinion is that she’s a fraud, plain and simple. I can’t see the value of a nene talk show…sheesh…so many bad shows already.
ive not been here in a while but I do think of you when i watch RHOA.
nene is a liar. i think it was nene who said “you know how you can tell kim is lying? her mouth is open”…. well the same goes for nene. maybe there was strife with him going bankrupt and her finally making $( she hasnt worked since she left the pole to marry gregg) but I believe like the poster uretha franklin wrote: nene div gregg to spare her assets. now she claims they have reconciled but they never were apart.
doesnt matter how much diction classes nene takes. she isnt a friend of women, and women are the ones who watch talk shows so she will never get one. hell bethenny is like and did a pilot for ellen but it isnt on nationally(or is it? it aint on in virgina).
Bethenny did a six week sneak peak where they give you a small sample of viewing areas and monitor ratings before deciding to greenlight. Apparently she did well enough because her show will start in 2013. I think in the fall.
also tamara, if sharon asked and was given time off to tour with ozzy, WOW. this is like kim being excused from south african and anguilla bc she is pregnant. i was mad for the ATL ladies bc they had to film for their $ while kim didnt and still got paid. Same for TTalk show: julie, aisha,sara,sheryl all paid same as sharon but they are doing more work.
already TTalk accomodated sharon in letting her not work to go to fil, AGT (in cali, las vegas, and now new york). now they let her leave to go on tour?
FIRE SHARON. she isnt personable and doesnt need the $.
Thank you for shining the light of truth on the fantasy story Nene spews everywhere she goes. Who divorces someone and then drags them across country for every appearance/occasion? He never left her side or put her purse down for a minute during the so-called divorce. It was on paper only for financial reasons.
