Everything She Wants

(Tracy E. Hopkins) I’ve been a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta since the beginning.     So I jumped at the chance to chat with original RHOA cast member and breakout star NeNe Leakes.     It’s been a tough couple of years since NeNe parted ways with the show. In 2021 her husband Gregg lost his battle with colon cancer and earlier this year she filed a discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, Bravo. But on the brighter side, the 54-year-old is dating again and starring in the BET limited reality series,   College Hill: Celebrity Edition.    Along with other headline-grabbing reality TV stars including, Big Freedia, Lamar Odom, Stacey Dash and Ray J., NeNe and the members of the cast lived together and attended classes at the historically Black Texas Southern University.     We asked NeNe what it was like to go back to school, what the biggest misconception about her is, which housewives she's still friendly with, and more. ...

While Phaedra's was initially called "the donkey booty workout" and Kenya's "Stallion booty workout," both reality TV stars have wisely ditched the Dr. Doolittle titles. Kenya's renamed video, " Booty Boot Camp ," was released March 5, 2013.  And Phaedra and her husband Apollo's "Phine Body" workout was quietly released about a month earlier. If we had to pick, we'd go with Kenya's workout tips.  As if she would ever let us forget it, she is a former Miss USA, darling .  In addition to copying her bootylicious idea, Phaedra has accused Kenya of getting injections to plump her rump.  But we think the beauty queen's assets look enviably taut and toned. And we can't get enough her "Gone with the Wind fabulous" twirls! Check out these sn...
