Nene Leaks New Sitcom “The New Normal” Trailer

The New Normal‘ is an upcoming television comedy series that will premiere on NBC this fall. The sitcom got much attention since Real Housewives of Atlanta reality tv star Nene Leaks announced she would be apart of the show. The premise of the show is “A woman becomes a sure surrogate mother so a gay couple can start a family”. Nene will play the role of Rocky, the loud black employee of one of a gay boss. Watch the first trailer of the upcoming series below.

 

The show is being called Nene Leakes sitcom but from the trailer she doesn’t seem to be a major character. The fact that she is play the role of a loud mouth doesn’t surprise me, that’s her rise to fame. Unfortunately this trailer didn’t sway my interest into watching the show and I must admit I didn’t laugh until the mother and Nene appeared in the trailer. For a sitcom I expect the entire trailer to be funny from start to finish. Anyways I’m sure curiosity will eventually push me to watch at least one episode.

What do you think? Will you be watching this show?

Forget Trump checks, Real Housewife of Atlanta star Nene Leaks will soon be cashing NBC checks. The reality tv star announced via her twitter, that ‘The New Normal’  a sitcom pilot she shot with Glee creator Ryan Murphy,  has been picked up by NBC.

Somewhere in Atlanta Sheree Whitfield must be sitting around looking sad and wondering where she went wrong.

Rihanna Set to Perform On “Saturday Nigtht Live”

Rihanna will return to NBC‘s “SNL” (Saturday Night Live) for a third time. The singer returns as a musical guest on episode airing May 5th, 2012, hosted by New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Although NBC did not announce which single she will be performing, my guess is that since the musical guest usually perform twice, she will perform the current single “Talk That Talk” as well as “Where Have You Been“. “Where Have You been” serves as the next single from her album “Talk That Talk” and is expected to hit airways on May 8th, three days after her SNL performance. I’m super excited of the upcoming performance, because to be quite frank I had become very disappointed with Rihanna’s lack of promo for her “Talk That Talk” album.
