Last night's finale of The Real Housewives of Atlanta made us incredibly sad. What are we going to do without the vocal stylings of Kim gracing our television sets every week? But the real star of the show, NeNe, also managed to captivate the heart of the amazing Anderson Cooper. And — oops! — NeNe may or may not have just hinted at his homosexuality:
"I'm not surprised that Anderson Cooper is talking about me! Wouldn't you talk about me? I'm not surprised. Anderson Cooper is gorgeous. He is THE silver fox, and I just wish he'd come over on this side of the street."

could anybody actually sit through a whole hour of this show. they should have called the show narcissitic whores. they value things and bling and are self important with an overwhelming stench of nausia for the viewer. Its amazing how proud they are of their "reality show"
maybe she ment touch black never turn back ?
That fact that people actually watch this kind of crap proves too many people have too much time on their hands. I guess the main attraction for gay guys is they really want to be women married to some ass hole that has money.
How many times is this guy going to be outed? It seems to be a weekly occurrence.
wait are you guys serious?? this show is amazing, it's just too camp for words!
I feel so out of touch since I don't know NeNe.
The post has two themes: AC's out-in-status (somebody help me with a better term)and the show.
Regarding the former, such a complex issue — why won't an individual come out. Does it come down to
everybody's at his or her own place in the process; it's an individual decision, often depending on employment or family factors; and yes, it'll be dandy when someday Anderson and Kevin just look into the interviewer's camera and say "Of course I'm gay. So what?" Outing must be done if the complexities include anti-gay hypocrisy. Otherwise, we can wait 'til they're ready.
Now, about that show. I'm appalled at myself that I've actually spent time watching it. Only one of these women (can't remember her name – her athlete-husband had been laid off due to an injury but gets a new gig)is even vaguely a whole person. The rest are just about unbearable.
I know "real" Atlanta housewives. They don't know NeNe, Sheree, et al.
