Leakes, who recently secured a spot on NBC’s “The New Normal,” a new series about a gay couple starting a family, has been making the rounds promoting her upcoming projects.
Nene appeared at NBC’s Upfront awards and also The Wendy Williams Show, where she appeared to be packing on the pounds… but hold on…
All that money Gregg spent on lipo hasn’t quite gone to waste yet!
Details + photos below…
Maybe it was just those pants… 
Somebody get Jody “The SuperTrainer” on line one… he’s the one who helped producer Polow Da Don shed all those pounds.

Am I the only one who noticed that since those “hippy” Upfront photos were taken, Leakes seems to strategically place her big “A”zz purse close to her waist photos?
Nene & Mary J. “What’s in The Chicken Wrap” Blige…
Nene … Mary J.Blige… Jennifer Williams
[Sidebar: Williams' management hit me up last week asking me to interview her. Here's the gag... I don't even watch basketball wives, but figured I'd do it for my readers.
When I responded, someone else from Williams' team hit me back saying she wasn't doing interviews (as if I'd initiated the contact).
I say all of that to say... since she was up under Leakes it kinda makes sense why that she canceled. But that's a blog post for another day.]
NeNe Leakes leaving The Wendy Williams Show (May 21, 2012)
You probably heard by now that Nene totally shaded her former castmate Sheree Whitfield‘s body during Wendy’s show and also tried to deflect from the fact that Kenya Moore is joining the cast.
VIDEO: NeNe Leakes on Wendy Williams (May 2012)
[Sidebar: Notice how smoothly Nene changed the subject? Those acting classes have clearly come in handy... ]
For the record, Leakes responded to the “Kenya Moore” question just the way she was supposed to. She gets paid the big bux and has to protect Bravo’s storyline! So you should have anticipated that she wasn’t going to answer.
But I digress.
How can Nene shade Sheree’s thick thighs when she’s clearly a bit thick in the waist?
Anywhoo… congrats to NeNe for making big moves (literally)!
On another note, I can’t wait to see how Nene and Kenya get along (or not)… especially since we’ve already somewhat witnessed how Moore and Bailey interact.

@Veronica and Ricky; I agree! I would love Jen even as an extra chic on RHOA. And Nene always looks great!
I love me some NeNe n I think she looks beautiful than ever! Do ya thang Ms. NeNe! Love u!
When I saw NeNe on Wendy Williams show I said she had gained some weight. She still look great. As for Jennifer Williams she should move to Atlanta to get a spot on RHOA.
Nene looks fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! Stop hating @ATlien….you are the LAST person who should talk about weight….HAVE PLENTY SEATS
The TALLS has a new member lol…..she would make a great addition 2 the show let me dream on lol.
One thing I can say I ain’t mad at her…she is a hard worker..and VERY DOWN TO EARTH…don’t let this tv thing fool ya! Chile yall from the south skinny is not in healthy thickness is….ya betta no to business!
well since i heard VH1 pulled the plugs on basketball wives of miami ( not sure if this is true or not) but if jennifer williams come to town
yeahhhh
I don’ care for NeNe but I’m happy she doing some mainstream work …. Good fo’ her! Sheree on the other hand, need to get her mind right & the rest might follow. Sheree do got some linebacker hips & thigh, just sayin’
She looks great & im happy for all of her success!She turned that reality tv into a career while sheree turned that dirt into a cardboard box lmaoo NeNe is really doing it & should really be proud & so wat if she said Sheree is meaty they all talk shit about each other but as soon as NeNe say somethings every1 got a issue #TeamNeNe
Bitch, the real gag was when Wendy took that purse and slung it on the ground that Wendy is queen for a reason! Love the subtle gestures. Is it me or does the poster for the sitcom look …um off?
Good for NeNe or ANY of these Black Ladies who are able to get out of this “Reality” mess and on to their careers.
The positive note should be Black women MAKING it; not Black women fighting within their demographic.
agree w/Carrington, hope she is not playing the loud angry black woman role in in sitcom..
Kim ain’t call NeNe a "moose" many times for nothing..as she ages she is going to have to realize weight becomes harder to maintain-NeNe needs a new hairstyle and color, but on that note congrats NeNe, luv the hustle, but I don’t think she has staying power, her 30 mins will be up in a year or 2..
I’m not the biggest Nene fan but I think she looks great.
But isn’t Nene one of the ones who MADE it and CONTINUES to make it a “reality” mess? She got a job BECAUSE she’s loud, ignorant and “beloved” by equally ignorant black people, NOT because she’s talented and deserving. Let’s give credit where it’s DUE.
OOOOOH,Mary J. Looks like she carrying something in the Oven!!!!!!
I agree with Kimbella, NeNe looks great. I have seen pics and videos of this blogger and she is on the chunky side herself. I would say that the blogger is the pot calling the kettle black!!
Love Love Looove me some Nene! she can do no wrong!
NeNe looks great. I know I have my own weight issues, up and down. I have to stay focused on what types of food I eat and when I eat them and train often. She seems to be very busy and when you’re always working hard to progress in your career, you don’t always sit down and have the right type of meal. I know this from experience. Awesome job Nene, LOVE HER!
While the owner of this blog does go in on certain people at certain times, she was just being fair by saying "pot meet kettle" Nene should not be talking down about Sheree, seeing that Nene is having weight problems herself, always has and always will.
NeNe Look Great,She’s Truly Blessed,She Got A Degree 4Acting,Not Like SomeFolk Who Just Knew If They Gotta Acting Coach They Was Gonna Blow Up&Win A Oscar,,LOL,And He’ll 2Tha Naw RHOA Don’t Need 5Colors Of LipGloss Jen On There Show,,,GOoooooo NeNe,She Did What She Was Supposed 2Do On Her TV Platf
Could it be Sheree isn’t acting because she has difficulty reading her lines or is it because casting directors are put off by her "I know everything attitude"? Could it be NeNe is working because she is not really acting? She’s just being her usual loud self. On Glee Ross is just a smart aleck. No acting needed. Next to Cynthia and Jennifer NeNe really does look like a moose.
everyone can hate all they want at the end of the day Nene doing her thing and getting hers. I can definitely respect that.. Get that bread while you can boo!!!
This moose can’t talk about anybody…Sheree, Kandi, Kim…She looks like Marmaduke in designer clothes.
bump what the haters say no matter how much she puts on pounds shes still FABLOUUSSS! lol..i love that hair color it seems more blonde! and why does Sheree have to always be mention havent we already discussed SHEREE is a non-muthaf#@#& factor! lmao…go head NENE do ya thng boo big ups to you with GLEE ttoo!!! #TeamNeNe all day!
the bloger put nene down and kiss kiss kiss phadra’s butt,I LOVE LOVE NENE
Love me some nene. Nene didn’t shade Sheree, she just over the Sheree questions. Wendy with her messy self, suggesting Sheree as a trainer. Nene is on her grind and has left Sheree and Kim in the dust.
Anyone who get lipo should try their hardest to maintain that weight. When you gain weight again it will not deposit it self naturally on your body and you get some crazy looking fat deposits around the area they did lipo. Its really disgusting. Nene doesnt look to bad here, she can drop those pounds quick. Too bad her and Sheree cant stand each other because she is also a personal trainer.
I personally can’t stand Nene. Her personality sucks! And she has become too "grand and snobby." But I think she looks fab! Even being thick. We put too much emphasis on being thin nowadays. Thick can be sexy too and Nene is showing that. Good for her! Rock it Nene!
So these are the new friends that Jennifer is hanging with now. Now I understand why Jenn is getting hated on!
Oh so thats why Evelyn mad cause Jennifer got A list celebrity friends (im talkin bout Mary not Ne Ne)She sooo Jelly right now
Mary J hanging with reality tv folks…*side eye*
no she not getting paid to tell lies on the other hand you are and you dont know what you are talking about when you say that you have the scoop and kenya moore is on rhoa..lol YOU A NORMAL BLOGGER WITH NORMAL FALSETIES! LOL now that’s the scoop!!!!
LOL @ NikkiB Thinkin the same thing! SMDH…
Here’s the problem with the majority of "Black" women:
Wendy: she knows NeNe and Sheree are not friends, so why mention Sheree as a potential personal trainer? Wendy has been messy for years and has been blasted by a-listers for her antics and "made-up" gossip. Wendy could really use a make over while she’s sitting on that couch looking as if she could be the next # 1 draft pick in the NFL. Wendy is in a position to encourage and show support to other women of color- especially with a cross-over audience, but she’d rather stir up mess!
Michelle: some times I wonder about this blogger! She’ll throw ultimate shade towards NeNe, Marlo, Ciarra, T-Boz, and the like, but constantly promote Phaedra and Kandi. The only thing I can gather is that when she tried squeezing into a photo with some of these women, they turned their noses up and kept it moving. Phaedra and Kandi, however, perhaps needed se media coverage and gladly obliged. Why else would she pick some to hate on and some to brag on? If a person has never disrespected me, I have no reason to put the down or speak negatively about them. Michelle simply should have left this story in her head, because she can’t rip NeNe for her hips when she’s likely double NeNe’s weight.
[...] it odd that Kenya was at Nene’s event… I mean, considering Nene claimed on The Wendy Williams Show that she doesn’t know her. And why didn’t she invite her BFF Marlo… [...]
I think most of the women here missed the point. The point is Nene is a heavy woman, who is probably technically clinically overweight. Yet, she referred to Sheree, someone who is smaller, in better physical shape, and has a lower body fat, as thick, and turned up her nose. Likewise, it pained her to admit that Kenya Moore, someone who is way prettier than her and also in way better shape, is a beautiful woman. Nene is a jealous woman, who simply can’t give another woman a compliment. She’s dropping names and trying to hang out with famous people to get more opportunities. I wish her well, and hopes she profits from her ventures. Because at the end of the day, she’s not an actress and has no real talent or mind for business (like Bethenny Frankel). And she’s no Kim K. So soak it all up now Nene.
[...] quite sure what to believe because ATL reality stars are known for lying about cast members of reality shows. It was also reported that Diamond was going to be apart of Season 1, but she changed her mind. [...]
