According to Sister 2 Sister, NeNe Leakes has announced that she's opening up her own restaurant in Sacramento, California.

"Comin through Sacramento CA anytime soon? Check out my new restaurant Famous Famiglia opens OCT 6!" she tweeted recently. The restaurant will be an Italian eatery. This could be the first of several fast food restaurants NeNe plans to open.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is also rumored to be getting her own spinoff. NeNe's prospective show will be produced by True Entertainment, which also handles "RHOA" and Kandi Burruss' upcoming show.

Now while I wish NeNe and the rest of the cast of RHOA the best of luck in her endeavors, I have a few gripes. One, why is she and Kim AND Kandi ALL supposedly getting their own spinoffs? While I love each of them and the drama they bring (well except Kandi. She just happens to get in the way of it), they don't all need one. That's too much readjustment in my TV schedule, and I know I'm liable to fall off with somebody's.

Two, why is this restaurant opening in Sacremento, and not Atlanta where you live NeNe? Are you moving to Cali? Are you already in Cali? And if so, are you done with RHOA? And three, why are you opening an ITALIAN eatery? Only Italian food? Not knocking it, but what do you really know about Italian food to think I want to have my own Italian restaurant? Ehh...I guess that's why the chefs get paid.

I'm interested to see if all of this stuff really goes through. A lot of people are talking about their own spinoffs from their shows, and I have yet to see a promo for anybody!

Ok, one of my best friends got me hooked on Real Housewives of Atlanta, so when I heard this news, I got upset.

It's just gossip from NYDailyNews.com, but apparently NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak, two of the housewives in ATL, may not be back for the third season. According to a source, both of them are demanding more money to be on the show, and Bravo ain't having it and are tired of the dramatics from NeNe and Kim. So they may be replacing the two.



"Bravo has been taking meetings with some notable and wealthy Atlanta women about possibly joining the show," says the insider. "They're trying their best to keep the process under wraps, but they're gearing up to make a major move in the third season."

So there will be a new Southern Belle either joining the rest of the cast all together or replacing NeNe and Kim. All I have to say is huge mistake Bravo. I mean, seriously if this goes through, they better make sure that this new Housewife is gonna make some scenes or expect their ratings to fall. I mean, let's get serious. For those of us who watch Housewives, even if you only catch an episode or two, you know you watch it for the drama. And who causes more drama on that show than NeNe and Kim?! I mean, seriously. If they leave, you will have Kandi Burress, Sheree Whitfield, and Lisa Wu. Kandi and Lisa go head about their business and get involved in very little drama, leaving Sheree nobody to fight with. Boring. I mean, I would still watch it because I do like the rest of the cast, but no drama=boring. Just saying. Bravo better keep NeNe and Kim, or make sure that this new Housewife makes a huge splash.

Supposedly, Bravo was considering Tameka Foster, Usher's ex-wife to join the cast. The producers asked each of the women how they would feel if she joined, and EVERYBODY said they would walk LOL So uhhhh don't be on the lookout for Tameka to be on there any time soon...

PEACE.
