“Real Housewives of Atlanta” and “Celebrity Apprentice” star NeNe Leakes is already a bona fide celebrity but now insiders are claiming that the reality show star wants to become a household name as the host of her own talk show.
According to radaronline.com, Leakes has been in talks with several producers and production companies about creating her own talk or reality show.
“NeNe is actively shopping herself around and she wants her own chat show and if that does not happen she would like her own reality show instead,” said a source for Radar Online. “She was encouraged when she did some slots with local television stations in Atlanta and she thinks that she has what it takes to be the next Oprah or Wendy Williams,” said
And where exactly does the next Oprah want to begin her reign of fame? None other than the sunny shores of Miami.
” ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ has given her more confidence but she sees moving to Miami as key to her success and now that her marriage is all but over she is ready to commit but she wants the right project to be in place.”
The insider also claims that Leakes, who made her way to fame via “RHOA,” has yet to sign on for another season of the hit Bravo reality show.
“Both Bravo and VH-1 have had talks with her about several projects although Bravo were hoping to get her back for one more year on “Real Housewives.”
Besides having her own show, Leakes also wants to dive into the world of fashion and cosmetics.
Do you think the rumor is true? Can Leakes find success on her own in both TV and fashion?
