How You Doin'

'How u doin' is a common catch phrase used by everyone. But one lady has made it her tagline. When you hear it now, especially in a deep, drawn-out, way, you know it's Wendy Williams.

This show is addictive, i catch it when i can. Her style is 'ugh. why-is-she-wearing-that', she's blunt, and her forwardness is slightly abrasive. But she's funny and i love it! lol. And as gritty as it is sometimes, Wendy keeps it real. Plus, i'm all for knowing the latest gossip on my favorite and not-so-favorite celebs. She knows everything about everyone else, so know let's learn a lil something about her from YRB Magazine. So Wendy...

How you doin'?

YRB: How did The Wendy Williams Show come about?
Wendy: My husband, Kevin, received a call last October from two people that would turn out to be our partners. One week later, I was summoned to a meeting. Shortly after that, papers were drawn up, and before you knew it, I was on the air last July for a six-week sneak preview of the show. It really happened that quickly.

YRB: Is the direction of the show strictly your vision?
Wendy: I like to think that I’m not hardheaded, and I like to believe that I take direction well, but there’s a beauty in having partners. Ultimately with me as the host, the final say is with me. When I walk out of those double doors, there isn’t someone telling me what to do. I do not work with a prompter because at this stage in my career, if I need to be reminded of what to do for a one-hour show, then I don’t need to be doing this... Read the whole interview... My show is not rocket science. It’s slightly messy with a lot of fun. I am who I am – just Wendy.

YRB: Why is it celebs love you yet fear you at the same time?
Wendy: I love it! I’m allowed to have an opinion on things just as the next person, so don’t get upset and bent outta shape over the things you hear me say. I’m not a mean person; I just have the guts to say it. If you don’t want to hear what I have to say about you, then go be a schoolteacher. Watch her interview with Michele Williams

YRB: What’s the worst thing that’s been said about you?
Wendy: That I’m a man. I think that’s the worst thing you can say about a woman, but I started that joke, so I have now learned not to get so sensitive over every damn thing. If you’re going to put yourself out there in the public eye, then you need to get over this real quick.

The Kardashians

There are a few reality shows that i actually "watch" and Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Run's House, Daddy's Girls are the main ones. Love those shows! ^_^. If you have any suggestions on anything i should get in to, talk to me. Lemme know because i'm sure there are more reality shows out there that's equally as good. Not like American Idol, or So U Think U Can Dance. I would watch those shows but i always miss it and they don't repeat. And once i miss one (or three) i feel out of touch with whats goin on. But anything else is cool. =)

So, here's a preview for Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, the spin-off of The Kardashians. Looks like it's gonna be a fun season. lol. (evil laugh...lol)

Who's the Judge?

So we've all heard these rumors about Miss Abdul not returning to American Idol. I, honestly, do not watch Idol religiously like that to really care. But it is interesting how this happened a few times before. Paula's worried about renewing her contract. Everyone cries for Paula not to go. Then a few weeks before Idol returns, Paula's back.

So, is this one for real? I dunno. But the hype of the situation definitely has my attention. And i just found this article about J Lo possibly taking Paula's spot.

"According to reports, Jennifer Lopez is 'actively negotiating' with the producers of hit tv show 'American Idol' to replace Paula Abdul." Read the whole article.

Although I'm not the biggest fan of Idol, having J Lo as a judge would make me watch. It's not that i like J Lo more than Paula. She's cool. I guess i would only because she's new to the show. I'd watch it more but still dont think i'll "follow" it. If that makes sense... humph... whatever, (shrug).

What u think about this? Do you prefer Paula or J Lo? Are you a fan of American Idol? If you prefer neither who would u like to see as a judge? TheBoomBox
