All signs point toward something on the horizon for the former stripper. Consider this: She hasn't renewed a contract for another series of Real Housewives of Atlanta. A source told Radar Online, "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."
Apparently NeNe was encouraged when she some slots in Atlanta on local television. According to the source, "....she thinks that she has what it takes to be the next Oprah or Wendy Williams."
