Wendy Williams - Shock Jockette Has New Show on VH-1

What is it about that Wendy Williams? Is it the celebrity dirt you won't find anywhere else first? The friendly female broadcaster voice that is part 1980's Valley Girl and part Bronx? Or that strawberry blonde, Lion King-esque mane? Maybe it's the candid take on her own plastic surgery.

Like comedienne Joan Rivers, you may hate or love Wendy Williams, the afternoon on-air personality on WBLS 107.5 in New York and star of VH-1's controversial but funny "The Wendy Williams Experience." Though based out of New York City, it is syndicated in select cities across the nation. She has also co-authored two tell-all books, "Wendy's Got the Heat", "The Wendy Williams Experience" and this year published her debut novel, "Drama is Her Middle Name". After years of hosting VH-1 networks' "Wendy is On Fire", a show where she interviewed celebrities in varied settings and events (sometimes very aggressively and showing no shame or remorse in publicly yelling at a celebrity to get their attention). Could you see yourself shopping with former model/entrepreneur Janice Dickinson or riding in an SUV with rap mogul/ex-felon Suge Knight?

The format of her VH-1 show is very similar to that of Howard Stern's show for the E! Network where cameras go into the studio and shoot a typical day with the host and their staff which double as the supporting cast of characters. While Stern's show, which ended a decade-long run in December 2005 to transition over to satellite radio, showed him interviewing celebrities and non-celebrities alike as well as contests involving bodily functions and the physically challenged. It is unlikely that Williams will emcee a game where deli meat is tossed at the backsides of basically faceless women who seek a breast augmentation. The truth is she really doesn't need to.
