(upbeat music) Live from New York City, it's "The Wendy Williams Show". (audience cheering) ♪ How you doing, Wendy, let's go ♪ Now, here's Wendy! Thank you so much for watching our show. Say hello to my co-host, staffer, studio audience. Don't forget the virtuals at home. How you doing? How you doing? I'm ready to go. Let's get started. It's time for Hot Topics. (audience cheering)
(upbeat music) Oscar, Oscar, Oscar. I did not watch the, like, you know how I feel about award shows. You know, they're stupid. Like honestly, the train station looked very lovely. I love the setup, very pretty. There goes Regina with that pretty dress. Bevy will be out here later on. We're gonna talk about styles, the hits and the misses. (audience applauding)
Yeah. What else did I observe? There were very few clips. The speeches were very long. And I was out and about, so the TV was on, but it was on mute. Thank goodness, the company I was keeping, you know, we were all talking and looking. This right here. I love this. (audience applauding) That's Louis Vuitton. I'm not sure that I love the hair though. I'm not sure. I don't know. Maybe a top knot. I don't know. I'm not sure. But she did a really good job. People were upset that Chadwick Boseman didn't win for best actor. They were very upset. Anthony Hopkins won instead. He wasn't even there, but he won. Paulina Porizkova is dating this big wig in Hollywood, Aaron Sorkin. Now you know, he's got a bit of a criminal past, kinda sorta. He was like Juelz Santana, right?
Uh-huh, yep, just like Juelz Santana. He went to the airport and he had mushrooms and crack in his bag. This didn't happen just last night. I mean, he's had a history of, I guess, crackish behavior. But Paulina likes him. That sure is a pretty bag she has. Remember, poor Paulina's been through a lot. Remember Ric Ocasek from The Cars? That was her boyfriend. And he died in 2019, and cut her out of the will, and threw her out of the apartment. Her friends had to buy her groceries. That's how broke she was. So, Aaron Sorkin's got plenty of money and they're age appropriate. I think he's 59 and she's 57. 55, yeah.
55, yeah. So, Glenn Close did not win last night, but her doing 'Da Butt' went viral. (audience applauding) She lost last night for the eighth time. Yeah, she's like the Susan Lucci of the Oscars. She isn't, correct. There she is, what a costume. It's okay, she's allowed to do that. So, then I got in and "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion started. So, I thought that I saw all the same stuff over and over again, so I became disinterested, set my alarms, and lulled to sleep. So, the set looks like a dungeon intentionally. That Porsha's got a big booty, doesn't she? All the girls wore black. Apparently they'd worn these outfits, look at, would you look at Kandi? Dress the part as a dominatrix. (audience applauding) Okay, and then Kenya and Drew fought. Yes, they... I don't want Drew on the show. I told you that already, right? I just don't want to be involved. Why do I have to be involved with that? Right. She's from Chicago, so obviously I got some love for her. But, you know. I don't love everybody from Jersey. True, true. And I'm just getting to love people here at my residence, you know, in New York. No, because people are shady. Did you hear about all the shootings on Saturday night? 14 people got shot Saturday night in the City alone. Okay, 26 shots all together for the weekend. What are you supposed to do? You run outside, you scamper to your car, and you duck. So anyways, so Andy asked Kandi if she ever got her child support that's owed to her from Block. Now look, he's got five children, six now. Okay, well take a look. Did you and Block ever settle the case? Yeah, they basically say he gotta pay us back child support. So, they're giving him some time to give a lump sum now. And then he has to start paying the monthly back. You faced a lot of criticism online for pursuing this child support case. Why was it so important for you to get the money for Riley? Riley wanted it. She said that that's her money and it was owed to her. That's right. (audience applauding) That's right. You know, she goes to NYU. She's majoring in, she wants to be a lawyer. And she lives here in New York, everything's expensive. I'm sure she's not driving a Porsche around anymore, you know, it's difficult to park. So, that means that she needs car service money. And she's the daughter of Kandi. Block, I hope you pay this money because if you don't, then now, 'cause the judge is involved, I think you might be arrested again, and be thrown in jail again. So, the rumor is that Phaedra's coming back. I didn't know Phaedra left. I didn't know. What am I watching? I had no idea. Phaedra, I thought you were there all along. They did have repeats on all day yesterday, so she was on TV yesterday. Oh. Okay. Well anyway, part two airs next Sunday. (audience applauding) How was your weekend? It was great. I had a great weekend. Did you-
I was, yeah, I always eat.
Yeah. I always eat. I was a little bit upset, you know, because of the whole DMX situation. But besides that-
Yeah. Great weekend. You know what I mean? I know, I made a trip to Brooklyn. I just wanted to see what all was going on outside the Barclays. And the traffic report said that there was lots of traffic. So I told the driver, I said, well, drive into the traffic, don't stop. I don't want to be involved. I just want to look. And there was no traffic. People cleared out quickly and peacefully, thank goodness. And then they took it to Yonkers and everything was peaceful. Everything was great. And I loved the monster truck with his cherry-colored casket. I loved that. Look, I know right? Well, I only went to Brooklyn because I wanted a Tony Luke's. You know, I wanted a cheese steak. So, I met up with my friend Teflon and Slap. His name is Slap for a reason. Anyway, so I met up with them and we had cheese steaks. And you know, we just had fun. Right.
Just fun. So, his ex-wife Tashera and his fiance, Desiree, hugged. And that was a beautiful thing. Yeah.
(audience applauding) And all of the children showed up. Now, how many children were there on stage? 15.
15. But, then I heard that women are alleging to be his babies' mothers. As many as 10 of them allegedly showed up. The kids range in age from like down here all the way up into their twenties. Can you imagine having 25 kids? 25, that's insane. Well, rest in peace, DMX, yeah. (audience applauding) I tried to pick up Chit Chat this weekend. My girls don't like to be picked up off the ground, you know. But she was on the bed and I just wanted her to come a little closer. So as I'm telling her to come closer and I'm gently cradling her, she ran across my chest and scratched, yeah. I didn't talk to her for two days. No! No! She knows what she did. Chit Chat, the black cat.
Not talking to Chit Chat. So, I'm not talking to Chit Chat. And Chit Chat knew then to come near me, not on the bed, go under the bed. Don't even come in this room. I almost didn't want to feed her, but that would be cruel. I know. I know. I know. And then My Way goes, "Well you know, Mom, she could use a diet." Yeah, yeah, My Way is a fat-shamer, yeah, a fat-shamer. Anyway, we made up this morning though. She came in the bed. She laid with me. I watched the news, and the sun come up, and everything. She's laying with me and stuff. But, I also showed her, look what you did. Caitlyn Jenner is running for Governor of California. It's official. Caitlyn is gonna challenge Governor Gavin Newsom if they recalled in the fall. What?
Yeah. They're gonna recall him? Maybe. There's like a petition to possibly recall Governor Newsom, yeah. Well, the state is a mess. Allegedly, reportedly. I'm not out there. I know New York and we got problems, too. Too many problems.
Uh-huh. So, the Kardashian sisters will not be campaigning with Caitlyn. And you know what? And I say good, because ultimately speaking, Caitlyn hurt Kris deeply. And I know Corey is there, and they make a beautiful couple, and all that other kind of stuff. But you hurt their mother, Caitlyn. Caitlyn is very conservative, by the way, very conservative. And she does follow politics a lot. Why not run? Plus, it'll give us a chance to see her out and about in pretty wrap dresses and kitten heels and stuff. You know? Oh Caitlyn, good luck. We'll be watching. (audience applauding) So dry on the inside of my palms, 'cause I was out and about, touching stuff, and being with people and stuff. I think I went out every day. What are you supposed to do, stay in the house? Yeah, it's going up to 80 degrees one day this week here in New York.
(audience applauding) It's gonna be really good. It's gonna be really good. So, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez were spotted having dinner at the Hotel Bel-Air on Friday night. Now, that happens to be also where they had their first date. Do I think that's a sign that they're getting back together? No.
No. And the Hotel Bel-Air, it's just right there. They already know the food, the maitre d's, like leave us alone. And they've got those companies together, so maybe it was a business get together, not necessarily romantic. I don't want her to get back with him. It's hard though. When you love love, the heart wants what the heart wants. Well, she's been turning to comfort and support from none other than Marc Anthony. (audience applauding) Who I insist they'll get back together in about 10 years. You know what I mean? They'll get back together. He's reportedly, allegedly dating some 21-year-old model right now. But, she's not in J-Lo's class. Nope. She's the 21-year-old model. And plus, she's got the twins with Marc. It only seems right that they get back together. You know what I'm saying, Norman? Yep, absolutely. They're lobsters, yeah. Yeah, I don't want them to get back together next week or next year.
Yeah. You know, let them get a little bit more seasoned out here, you know, doing stuff, and then they'll get back together. Yeah. And maybe he won't run around on her. Well in 10 years, the twins are gonna be old enough. And you remember this, the kids always stick with their mother. So when you guys do get back together, Marc. Oh my gosh, Michael Lohan, Lindsay Lohan's father was arrested on Friday. No, no. Michael allegedly was paid more than $27,000 to refer patients to a drug treatment center. Now, is that illegal? If I refer a doctor to you- I think that's what people do. People go to rehab and have a great experience, then they go out and they get people to go or whatever. But even for a regular doctor. Yeah.
Yeah. Yes. Is that illegal? No, it's not illegal. I don't think so. I refer people to my doctors. Uh-huh.
All the time. Me too! But you don't make money from it. If you make money from it- You know I'm not getting a little kickback. But why? But, he's got to make an income. Doing this? He didn't know it was wrong. Look at the mugshot! He's like, "What? What'd I do now?" Michael, I'm on your side. I have no idea what is going on out there in Long Island. But, I'm on your side. Clap if you think that, wait, first of all, he's charged with five counts of patient brokering and one count of conspiracy to commit patient brokering. Is jail time involved with that? No, the jails are crowded. The shooters are out. Maybe give him a little ankle bracelet. And Michael, then you sit in the house, we watch TV together. Michael's lawyer says that Michael should be applauded for his efforts to save lives. See?
Yay! Dan, is he wrong? Seems a little sketchy to me. Sketchy?
Sketchy. He's got to make a living. Do something else, like what? I don't know, maybe work at the rehab center. Work at the rehab center. Anyway, we all look forward to Michael's day in court. Michael fight, fight, fight. (audience applauding) We haven't talked about that family in so long. So long! Welcome back, Lohans. Welcome back to Hot Topics. (audience applauding) So, the power of "The Wendy Show", LeVar Burton will guest host "Jeopardy!". (audience applauding)
Yeah. I mean, there apparently are some celebrities who were sticking up for him, wanting him to guest host and stuff, but they're not on TV every day talking to the camera the way we do. So, we talked about it last week, and he's been campaigning for the job. Fans signed a petition. And so, he's going to guest host July 26th through July 30th. Yeah, we won't be on at that time. "Jeopardy!"'s not my show though. It's 7:00, "Inside Edition", Deborah Norville. And as the city opens up, I won't even be home. Right, not at 7:00. (audience applauding) So, he's got to prep for this job. Now, I'm thinking all he has to do is read the teleprompter, but apparently there's more to it. He's probably stressed out and sweating like, "Oh my gosh, it worked. Now what do I do? Oh my gosh. Now what do I do?" Well, you'll probably do a great job and hopefully you'll be the permanent host. Yeah. (audience applauding) (upbeat music)
