Stardust: Homes, Not Tents, For Occupy Bernal
Former 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant Niecy Nash may not have taken home the big trophy for being a part of the last dancing couple standing, but she's certainly finding something much greater to celebrate.Earlier this week, the actress, comedian and television personality, born Carol Denise Ensley, took home a 2010 Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Class Special category as producer and host of the hit Style Network series 'Clean House: The Messiest Home In The Country.'
The win has reminded Nash that she's been on the right track all along.
"I was so surprised and so happy when my show was announced as the winner," the 40-year okd Nash shared with the BV Newswire today.
"We all work so hard, day in and day out, and it's just a testament that if you stay committed to quality work, you will be rewarded. I'm so grateful to the viewers and fans of 'Clean House' for being so loyal to our show and making it the highest rated program on The Style Network."
For now Nash continues to be "in awe about the whole thing," but post-'Dancing with the Stars,' she's returned to working double duty producing and hosting 'Clean House' and serving as a celebrity panelist on CBS's 'The Insider.'
"I just love work -- whether it's hosting or acting or sketch comedy or traditional comedy... it's all very delicious to me and I love it all," the former 'Reno 911' star said.
"It's such a blessing to have the kind of career that I have. For the past seven or eight years, I've been working non-stop, balancing at least two shows... Before it was 'Reno 911!' and 'Clean House,' and right now - it's 'The Insider' and 'Clean House.'"As if that wasn't enough, the Ebony magazine covergirl and mother of three is now working on her very-own talk show pilot, a project which she can't say too much about, but shot a few weeks back.
"The feedback has been great... it was a dream come true," she revealed. "When I walked out on the set, it just felt right - it felt like home."
"I want to do more producing," Nash added. "I have my own production company, Chocolate Chick, Inc., and we have some TV and film projects in development. I'm looking forward to doing more work in films."
But, ultimately, she seems to be just embracing all of the many opportunities that have come her way.
"There's always someone next in the line, ready for the opportunity. Everyone has a season in this business," she said.
"I think now is my time."

She has a voice that you get tired of REAL quick. Sounds like she is struggling to talk. She needs to get a voice coach or shut up.
AND
What made her take a picture in that blue body suit. Her butt looks awful. She should NOT have allowed this pic to be posted.

Oooh Miss Neicy!
We want you to never put that blue thing on again. EVER! As she says on her excellent show "Clean House" Thats just "foolishness and mayhem" but I do congratulate her on her reaching some of her goals. She used to be an extra in movies like "Guess Who" and "First Sunday" and then she seemed to take off like a rocket.
You GO Girl, but NEVER take another photo with your junk all over the place like that.

Ok,,I just saw the comment that this is a prosthetic. Then I am wondering, why she is wearing it at all? Anyway, I still love me some Miss Neicy!

She wore it in Reno 911. She wanted her character to have curves so that people would see that there is nothing wrong with having curves or being fuller figured.

De,
If U.D. was FOLLOWING the show Reno 911 that person would have known that was a prosthetic?
DUFUS.
U.D.,
Even if it was her own BUTT, she still looks beautiful and there is no shame to her game! Instead of you U.D., telling people to get a voice coach, why don't you get a life? At least she is doing something she loves and making people laugh. CAN YOU DO THAT? You don't know what's real and what is fake. Niecy is REAL and she don't care about you FAKE HATERS. Why don't you SHUT UP and let her BE! Very ignorant of you. Don't hate U.D. CONGRATULATE!!!!

Obviously, Da?
UD does NOT FOLLOW Reno 911 that’s why I broke it down for her, otherwise she (I'm assuming) would not have made that specific comment.
Understand DUFUS!

CONGRATS Niecy! I loved her on "Dancing with the Stars". I liked when she would make comment on her "Jiggly Parts". She was funny. Someone made comment about her voice? That what makes her who she is and she is funny as hell. Doesn't bother me? She is comical, beautiful, intelligent, and talented! I still watch "Clean House". Niecy deserved that Award. It would be nice for her to host her own T.V. Show. May God Bless her and her Family. Niecy tells it like it is and she knows she is not a size 1 but, she will let you know that full figure woman are sexy too!
YOU GO NIECY!!!!!!!!!
