Wendy Williams and Oprah Winfrey are worlds apart in the talk show world, but apparently their “footwork” is quite similar.
Wendy is currently participating on ABC’s ballroom dancing show, Dancing with the Stars.
While I haven’t kept up with this season, it’s impossible to ignore all the chatter about the talk show host’s ‘less than stellar’ dance moves.
During downtime, Wendy walks around the DWTS studios in outfits like this, but that’s not the problem.
Apparently her feet that may be to blame!
Wendy recently sent out a photo of her damaged tree stumps and I’m just speechless…. Continue Reading…

I’ve been a fan of Musiq Soulchild for so dayum long that I can even tell you what I was doing when I first heard his hit “Just Friends” from his first album Aijuswanaseing…. but that’s personal so I won’t go there.
I had the pleasure of dining with Musiq (real name Taalib Johnson) yesterday at Maggiano’s in Buckhead as we broke bread together in the private dining area (along with 29 other invited guests).
Musiq discussed the details of his sixth album MusiqintheMagiq and played the video for the album’s single “Anything” feat Swizz Beatz (click HERE if you haven’t seen it.).
Musiq explained the song’s meaning:
“‘Anything’ is really about jealousy and insecurity. In relationships, it’s not wise to automatically assume that whenever you feel suspicious about someone, that something negative is going on.
If a man is saying and showing that he loves you, then give him some credit and have a little faith.”
Ok… great advice!
Musiq and I sat down for a lil one on one time, where he shared details regarding his decision to make Atlanta his home. He also gave more words of wisdom to new artists who travel here in hopes of shining in the “A” aka “Black Hollywood”.
