NeNe Leakes (Atlanta)

Two, four, six, eight -- we really appreciate this childhood photo of NeNe Leakes as a cheerleader. Back when she was a young girl in Queens, New York, the housewife-turned-actress (NeNe plays a swim coach on “Glee”) waved her pom-poms for her local squad. That big mouth and booming voice has also come in handy for the now-blonde during her many spats with fellow Atlanta housewives Kim Zolciak and Sheree Whitfield.
