It’s a new series crammed full of celebrities showing off, but Real Housewives of Atlanta’s NeNe Leakes was easily the star of the show.
NeNe, 52, made her debut on Tuesday’s episode of Celebrity Show-Off, offering up hilarious life advice to her fans via a megaphone for a segment called ‘Drive-Through Advice with NeNe Leakes.’
The RHOA star spoke to visitors over a bullhorn outside her Swagg Boutique in Duluth, Georgia, where she drank wine while touting its ‘anti-viral properties’ adding that it helps keep her looking young.
Dishing out advice: Real Housewives of Atlanta’s NeNe Leakes was the star of Celebrity Show Off on Tuesday night (which also featured an appearance from Tori Spelling)
Fans seeking her wisdom drove up in their cars and rolled down their windows, and there were just three golden rules to playing her game: ‘Accept the truth,’ ‘Believe what I say,’ and ‘You must listen well.’
‘How do I stay fit and fabulous?’ one person named Monique asked the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who replied, ‘Being fabulous is something that comes from the inside. It’s all about attitude.’
‘How can you suggest I stay young?’ queried another fan, named Sharon, as NeNe told her, ‘If you wanna stay young, honey, you gotta drink a lot of water and a lot of liquor.’

‘I knew that I had what it takes,’ the fashionista continued. ‘I just needed to believe.’

As the newest competitor on Celebrity Show-Off, NeNe was trying to create a YouTube series that would go viral with viewers, helping her earn money for charity.
Filmmaker Kevin Smith, 49, had been doing well with his popular sitcom, Son-in-Lockdown, featuring the antics of Austin Zajur, his real-life daughter Harley Quinn’s boyfriend.

On his latest episode, Kevin tried to leave home for vegan burgers and tater tots, and Austin told Harley her dad was breaking quarantine.
Kevin called pal Jason Mewes, 46, to get him food, and ‘Jay’ ended up using a t-shirt cannon to shoot food at his house.
The director admitted after the show that the cannon was the real reason he wrote the short—he’d always wanted one.
Host with the most: Actress Mayim Bialik, 44, is the host of the show
In a special appearance, Austin said was ‘much more insecure’ than his series character, admitting he would never be ‘as open or crazy’ with his girlfriend’s family members.

‘Free weed,’ Austin said.

Tori, 47, came back this week with ‘My birthday in QuaranTORI,’ a special episode in which she threw herself a Hawaiian-themed party.
The Beverly Hills 90210 star spray-painted pineapples and shells gold, made tiki masks from watermelon, threw a family luau, and hired traditional dancers.
Virtual guests at her party included actors Tommy Chong, 82, and Danny Trejo, 76, and singers Lance Bass, 41, Rachel Platten, 39, and Nick Lachey, 46, with wife Vanessa Minillo, 39.

Singer Jason Mraz’s show, Jason Mraz’s Mragical Ranch, introduced a special episode on coffee, shot as usual at his Oceanside, California, avocado ranch.
Mraz, 43, drank a ton of java and ended up cleaning his home in a frenzy, ultimately ‘tweaking out’ and hallucinating a tree-shaped character named Woody who sang to him.
Rapper Ja Rule, 44, failed to impress with his new show, Ja Rule’s Barnyard, where cartoon farm animals voiced by his family looked for a missing pig.

The pig had been slaughtered for a barbecue, but the animals entertained by discussing everything from pre-nups and divorces to the Netflix documentary Tiger King.
‘Just goes to show you,’ Rule said as it ended. ‘Sometimes, life is just f***ed up.’
NeNe and Rule ended up as the show’s least popular competitors this week, with Kevin and Jason picking NeNe to go through.
‘I love the Bloop, the Bleep, and the Blam!’ Jason admitted. ‘I’m voting for NeNe.’
Next week’s celebrity guest will be Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 30.
Celebrity Show-Off returns next week on TBS.
