Yes, that's Wendy Williams for you .
And she's set to become the next big African-American talkshow hostess with burgeoning ratings since her show started in 2008.
And now that her main rivals, Tyra and Oprah are set to pull out from the scene in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and the latest news being Wendy's show is set to roll on till 2012 at least, she is here to stay and continue to bring saucy daytime talk show juice into our living rooms.
Yes, she does have her detractors calling her 'fake' ('switches' things up according to Omarosa), 'tranny' (many love to diss) and 'plastic' (more than just botox we suspect? Ahem! Breast implants? Rhinoplasty? Lipo?)
But this girl is anything but boring and that's that. (If I wanted boring stuff, I'd switch to Rachel Ray or something.)
She is not merely a 'face' producers put out there for the TV ( to compete with Tyra, we suppose?) ; for she does have her credentials like a university education, is a famous radio DJ, a best-selling author, has a long and successful marriage and mother of 1.)
So, she's certainly 'been there done that ' (she claims to have had been a drug addict for 10 years previously)and has had a successful life balancing all aspects of her life and still looking fab at a grand dame age of 45.
So there you have it.
Never mind her famous run-ins with Whitney Houston and Omarosa; she still has the goods.
All Wendy needs now is an Emmy-win or two , to seal the deal.
Q ... I need my new fix , you see?
