‘Housewives’ NeNe added to E! Emmys coverage
NeNe Leakes
Attention, Emmy nominees: On Sunday night, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” diva NeNe Leakes will be looking down on you.
Literally.
E! has hired Leakes to hang out up in the E! Skybox Sunday night with fashion expert Jay Manuel as the stars arrive for the 61st annual Emmy Awards.
According to the e-mail sent to Buzz Central, Leakes and Manuel will “keep fans updated on all the arrivals, giving commentary on the nominees and sharing plenty of opinions on the A-list fashions” at the star-filled, pre-awards red carpet ritual.
Below on the carpet, former Atlantan Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic will co-host the “Live From the Red Carpet” telecast Sunday night on E! from 6 to 8 p.m.

Please. This is gone to far. She is so ghetto. Why not put somebody hip and real like Kandi? I’m so sick of her acting like she is somebody that has something.. They just want ratings, she is the black version of Joan Rivers, crazy looking, minus the real Money.

I just can’t believe that we as a society have stooped so low!!Come on E! Do better than that. Stop trying to validate that idiot. I am even more disgusted that so many people (my peeps) seem to think that NeNe is so “real”. Give me a break and let’s get real. Reality check my peeps!!

E has certainly scraped the bottom of the pudding cup. NeNe? nothin’ but a modern-day minstral show – one half-step up from flava flav. funny how tv execs with great alacrity showcase the dumbest, blackest fools they can find. sheree, nene, lisa all fancy themselves as elite. really?????? kandi is the ONLY one on there that is really about it.
Payroll Love your comments!

Why people gotta hate....
September 18th, 2009

Why is it that people just want to hate on her….She does what she does for effect. It’s a “reality” show. Bravo needs viewers and drama brings viewers….People love drama. NeNe brings the drama. E wants excitement and viewers, and that’s just what they’ll get. Remember people even Anderson Cooper loves NeNe…that’s says alot

You have got to kidding me! What’s wrong with E? NeNe is so “HOOD” and classless. Why would someone have someone like her representing their station? I promise you, this will be her first and last time on E! She’s no Diva her clothes are not all of that. Why? They are going to regret that decision. NeNe is getting to full of herself with her (BMW) body made wrong! LOL

I don’t think Ne Ne will know designers name and she don’t know fashion, should have invited Dwight.

Trash…trash….trash! Nene is a poor representation of Black woman. She sets a poor example for her children. Her son probably dropped out of school due to embarrassment.

[...] and this is exciting news. What’s not so exciting is that NENE from the Real Housewives of Atlanta gets to cover it on E!. WTF is that?! Of course I’m totally jealous, but really? Really??? I could actually [...]

Nene? Are you kidding me? To give commentary on fashion? Oh pleeeze! I agree w/other posters who said Dwight would be a better choice. If the intent is to comment on fashion, even Kim or Sheree would trump Nene.

Enter your comments here – NeNe, you are incredible. Truly appreciated how you and Greg have begun working with your oldest son. He needs that guidance. Greg is such a humble person and you both make a great couple~! I do think you are the absolute best….hope to meet you and share a glass of wine here in the “A”. Great job on being selected for E. Obviously, they see what you bring to the table. Be blessed and work it DIVA.

I am sure that E! could have found someone more qualifited to commentate the Red Carpet Show. However, as we all know, it is not about qualifications……it’s about ratings. Don’t get it rwisted, I am not a NeNe hater, I just don’t think that she is qualified to represent most Black women!!!

Do everyone a favor – fire the housewife immediately. She was rude and disrespectful to the nominees and her co-workers. My heavens, there is alot of talent at E why choose this person to represent your company? I won’t watch the Red Carpet shows while she is on air.

You have to consider the source. That woman doesn’t know how to spell class! What she considers “classy” those of us with taste consider “trashy”!

I can not believe it…..E! had professionals like Jay Manuel with a loud, agressive and obnoxious person which makes her lack class. I felt so sorry for Jay. He is such a professional person with class and he knows what he’s talking about. FASHION!! What the hell does she know talking about she is the best dressed and she wasn’t impressed. I wouldn’t doubt it if E! hired a stylist to dress that mess of a woman. By the way NE NE you need to shut up and be a REAL housewife not a fake sell out for ratings!!!!

For all you Sasquatch, I mean NeNe, fans hoping she’ll represent…well at least she stayed true to herself but I’m sure she’ll NEVER be ‘axed’ back. She was so ghetto and rude it was appauling. Dissing all the REAL celebrities appearance when she totally looked like a DUDE.
I can’t believe the 360 her personality has done and I can’t wait until she goes down in flames.
