Andy Cohen tried to set up Porsha Williams last week on "Love Connection" - and it worked!
“The gift and curse of being in the public eye,” she said about dating in Atlanta. She was happy that the three guys didn’t really know her going in.
“Love Connection” found three guys: Obumneme, 26, hospitality manager from Atlanta; Porter, 34, musician from New York; Lewis, 26, property manager from Atlanta and Jezebel’s most eligible bachelor.

She gave Obumneme only a 4 out of 10 while he gave her a 9 out of 10. “He’s a gorgeous man,” she said. “But he was dressed a little immature.” She said he is dressed much better on camera. She liked his personality and had a good time. “There was a little sexual chemistry,” she said. She also didn’t go for the kiss.
She said he’s too young. “I’m ready for marriage and kids and settling down in Atlanta,” she said.
But Porsha clearly had some doubts despite liking him. And she kissed him at the end.
The next guy Porter, a musician from New York, didn’t hit it off with Porsha at all. He said she was 90 minutes late but still gave her a 10 out of 10 in term’s of first impression. She was not impressed though, giving him a 2 out of 10, because he was way too casual. Clearly, Porsha was not into him.
Lewis started his date with ax throwing, then hit a lounge where they talked about their future. “This is a really good guy,” she said. She didn’t kiss him but she seemed super interested.
In the end, Lewis is the man she picked for a longer date. “True chemistry,” she said. “This could really be something.”
And the audience picked him, too, so she pocketed $10,000. "I got money and a man?" she said. Yes, she did!
Is he a keeper though? He hasn’t shown up on her Instagram page yet.

Kim Zolciak will dispense advice on a new weekly podcast "Kim Zolciak... Don't Be Tardy.'
Since this is a podcast, she’ll be able to also offer up endless amounts of curse words that won’t need to be bleeped.
According to PodcastOne, she will dispense “life coaching,” because what everyone needs is advice from Kim Zolciak. Also, she’ll provide so-called “music” and “family updates.”
In the press release, written with no irony whatsoever, she will “invite fans to join her in achieving their dreams by ‘asking, believing and receiving.’” Apparently, actually doing “work” to achieve your dreams is too much to ask.
Luckly listeners will also get to hear her verbally charismatic husband, Kroy, daughter Brielle, and others to just add to the yuks.
Here's a torturous sampling:

NeNe Leakes makes a quick cameo on "Uncle Drew," a new film coming out Friday starring Lil Rel Howery and a raft of NBA players such as Kyrie Irving, Shaw and Nate Robinson in old-age make up. Watch for her during a church scene featuring Chris Webber dunking a baby.

This Saturday night at 8 p.m. on TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta," Apollo Nida's fiance Sherien Almufti will appear shopping for a wedding dress. Since he's in prison, though, how fancy a dress could she wear? He's only about halfway through his eight-year prison sentence for federal wire and bank fraud.
Otherwise, she may just be shopping very very early in preparation for a wedding around 2021.
Apollo, of course, was Phaedra Parks' ex husband. Parks was booted from the show after season eight.
