Metro Atlanta couples looking to get discovered will have a golden opportunity soon. A major TV network is casting photogenic couples who aren’t married for a new project.
Participants must be between the ages of 22 and 35 (bonus points if you just LOOK that age-range!). The requirements are that the couple be in a relationship, and there is something about their union that one of their families doesn’t approve of.
This project will not spotlight one couple, but several will make the cut, so whoever is chosen can feel free to still live their daily lives. People who submit will need to be available for a Skype interview in the near future. Ideal scenario is where a parent is willing to be involved, too.
PAY: ~8 episodes with about a few grand for each episode.
Feel free to reach out directly to Lenora@LenoraClaire.com with questions. -

The latest victory came from the last-second heave from Tiffany Hayes Tuesday night. Her three-pointer from beyond half court beat the Connecticut Sun, 86-83 on their home court.
The game-winner by Hayes was the longest (46.7 FT) made in the last 10 seconds of a regular-season game in WNBA history.
Trying to win their sixth straight contest, the Dream now return home to host the New York Liberty Thursday inside McCamish Pavilion beginning at 7 p.m. ET. The game will be streamed live on WatchESPN.

Homeowners looking to sell their properties will soon be able to request an offer from real estate listings site Zillow to buy their homes. The program, called Zillow Offers, is expanding to Atlanta after successful launches in Phoenix and Las Vegas.
The program is slated to launch in Atlanta in the fall of 2018. Zillow Offers will buy homes in the Atlanta market directly and prepare them for sale as well as list them.
Zillow Is Buying & Selling Homes in Atlanta
Zillow’s research shows that 71% of sellers are stressed out during the home-selling process. With the new program, potential home sellers can get a free, no-obligation cash offer from Zillow Offers within two business days.
“Sellers love Zillow Offers, because it’s a service that offers them more control and convenience – and less stress – when they sell their homes,” said Zillow Brand President Jeremy Wacksman.
New research shows that more Americans are struggling to come up with the downpayment for a home, a process that can be eased with a number of helpful programs. For renters in 13 of the country’s 35 largest housing markets, it can take more than 10 years to save the necessary 20% down on a home.
“Zillow has delivered that to sellers in our first two markets, and we’re excited to expand into Atlanta. Once we launch the program in the fall, we will be able to provide Atlanta-area homeowners with more choices, greater control, certainty about price, and transparency when it comes to selling their home – whether they take a cash offer or sell traditionally with a Premier Agent.”
In Atlanta, Zillow will forge partnerships with brokerage houses and agents to get leads for the Offers program. So far, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) Georgia Properties and Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers have signed on for the Zillow launch in Atlanta.
For local real estate agents, the new program will allow them to be matched up with motivated sellers. Zillow will pay a commission to agents when it buys and sells each home. Continue Reading…

The highly-anticipated Adair Court project has began in earnest after a recent groundbreaking ceremony. The project, located in a coveted spot between MARTA’s West End Station, Adair Park and the Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail, will be a 91-unit mixed-income senior rental community.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and other city officials were on hand for the groundbreaking, which signaled the city’s efforts to sustain affordable housing amid a real estate boom that is being accelerated by the Beltline.
“Adair Court provides affordable housing that targets one of our city’s most vulnerable populations – our seniors,” Bottoms said in a news release. “This development and others like it are a direct result of the city’s concerted efforts to secure affordability and preserve legacy residences with the help of Invest Atlanta and the Atlanta BeltLine.”
Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. and Parallel Housing, Inc. are the developers on the project, which will cost $15 million.
Of the 91 units, 77 will be income-restricted based on the area median income.

Say what you want about the “Puerto Rican Princess,” but she knows how to draw a crowd. The season, “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” went live without the reality TV star and the ratings have been brutal.
According to the AJC’s Rodney Ho, “LHHA” ratings have sank 25% without Joseline Hernandez. After the birth of her child last year, Hernandez left VH1 over creative differences and bad blood on the set.
She now lives in Miami. I guess she’ll bounce back with a Florida-themed show.
The show’s overnight ratings averaged 2.06 million viewers, down from 2.74 million a year ago, according to Ho.
