Wendy Williams is one controversial Crazy Girl–and I love her! I’ve been TiVoing her episodes, and she never disappoints. My favorite things about Wendy Williams:
- She gives it to people straight. She has a segment on her show where she takes questions from the audience. She doesn’t dance around the answer. She listens, bluntly gives her advice with some Wendy Williams flair, and then says, “Take a seat!” in an authoritative but friendly tone. I usually agree.
- She makes it easy to get tickets to her show. She has a calendar right on her website where you can just choose a filming date with available slots and get your free tickets. Maybe visiting her show will change my mind about being a talk show hostess…
- She is the Queen of Weave–and she knows it. Wendy Williams keeps it real–by acknowledging the fake. Her hair is fake, her nails are fake, and I’m not sure about the Double D’s. But she’s not trying to fool anyone! She is committed to being fabulous and doesn’t care about being “natural” (which is usually just a really good-looking fake). She cracks me up when she calls out audience members and guests on their weaves too: “Ooh, girl, the mic is getting stuck in your weave. Let me help you.”
- She mixes designer clothes with pieces from Forever 21. Now, y’all already know that Forever 21 is my favorite store in the world. Any celebrity who has a picture pointing to the pieces she bought from Forever 21 gets my endorsement!
I definitely hope to be a guest on the Wendy Williams show one day. I don’t agree with a lot of the things she’s allegedly done in the past, nor do I agree with the whole Omarosa showdown bit–but the Wendy I see these days is a Crazy Girl I’d like to learn from!

I love her too! But I never thought about it so intelligently! I just liked her because of the gossip (**lowering eyes in shame)
Heeeey! Carla was just saying yesterday (and I quote) “Wendy Williams is like Shadiah and Kaneisha all rolled up into one lady.” Go figure!
I too am a fan of Wendy. I love her clothes and her energy. What I don’t agree with is Kaniesha point #3 , the infamous”Keeping It Real” premise that soooooo many black people feel they just have to make in spite of its damaging effect. And what does she or anyone get by pointing out someones’ hair is real or fake? Nothing. It just more of the same spiteful, crass, insulting stuff that black people love to do. Whenever I hear black people do it with an audience of other race folk, I just wanna turn in my race card. Its a true embarrassment. Do white talk show hosts greet their guests by saying something about their hairpieces? Sorta like Jay Leno asking Joan Rivers “Hey Joan…nice weave/wig! NO! They why in the world must black people feel they have to?! In Hollywood, women have always augmented their assets, with black folks -only REAL is worthy of praise. Only a woman with REAL hair is the best looking. I’m soooo tired of this type of thinking or behavior. Who wants to go live tv and get stoned with ghetto insults. Its not funny and it makes black people look bad. I’m actually disappointed and stunned that Kaniesha herself could be prone to such stereotypical ugly black people behavior! Just think of the ol’ Dave Chappelle episode “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong”. There is a lesson to be learned about keeping your thoughts about someone else in your head. You might catch a bullet or really get beat down. You don’t have to be the style- real hair/fake hair-who someone should live their life police. Just mind your business and stop acting tacky.
@Akira: Good point on it being unnecessary for Black folks to tear one another down. HOWEVER, anyone going on WW’s show knows that they are going to get called out about their weave/boob job/etc. If you don’t like that about her, just don’t go on her show and get all the publicity and attention that doing so buys you! Every single person who goes on her show knows exactly what they are going to get. When I have my own talk show, I definitely won’t be doing that because 1) Having never worn weave, I really can’t tell when people have weaves, and 2) If I get work done, I want people to leave me alone about it and let me pretend it’s real!
