Thank you for watching!
Say hello to my co-host and my studio audience.
(audience cheering)
How you doing?
How you doing?
Me?
Okay, let's get started
It's time for--
Hot topics
Yes!
(audience cheering)
Thank you.
Wendy, Wendy!
Wendy, Wendy!
Oh, you're too kind.
You're too kind.
Thank you, thank you very much!
So, I stuck to my guns
I watched "Dancing With The Stars" last night.
Clap if you did as well.
(audience applauding)
(audience laughs)
Uh-oh, well they've had a good run
(audience laughs).
Lamar Odom got off to a very bad start.
Lamar can't dance.
It's not a big deal to me.
A lot of people were saying well he's an athlete,
a lot of times, athletes do very well
on "Dancing With The Stars" ,
'cause they are very coordinated.
We've had people win on my season,
I forgot the guy from the black and yellow.
He won Hines' Award, he won.
You know so, but but Lamar,
Lamar dances like wood.
Like I'm one to talk.
The leg up that guys have when they are the celebs
on "Dancing With The Stars" is
that they make the girls the partner.
I don't know the girl's name,
by the way Tony Dovolani,
you haven't been on "Dancing With The Stars" in years.
Are you still with that show?
Yeah, that was my partner.
I was looking for Tony,
anyway, but what they do is they make the girl's dress
extra sexy which she apparently wasn't at that meeting.
Like really naked though
and then the guys just stand there,
the celeb guys and they dance around them
and somehow the celeb guys get away with it,
because the girls shake extra hard
and they look extra good.
But I think first of all he got the lowest score,
he'll probably be going home next week.
Awww
Yeah, he got 11 out of 30.
Oh
Even, even me and Tony did a 17 (laughs),
like wow, but it's okay, Lamar, it's okay.
Sean Spicer, his shirt was trending
and might I say I loved it!
(audience laughs)
Look, (Laughs) look, look, I had company
while watching we were eating Carmine's Spaghetti
and meatballs if you're,
oh, oh hm-mm, hm-mm, hm-mm.
So we're eating the spaghetti and meatballs
and my friend that was with me was like,
what is going on?
I said, no, I love it!
When you go to "Dancing With The Stars", you come to play.
You know, they want all the pageantry and stuff like that.
He danced the samba, this is a samba shirt
(audience applauding)
Now you know.
By the way that wasn't what was distracting to me.
I was looking below and saying,
how you holdin?
(audience laughing and clapping)
All right now.
Look, and they were making fun of him,
the shirt was trending,
they were saying he must have been dressed by Democrats.
The thing is that you know remember,
remember he was the Press Secretary
so you know the world is used to seeing him like this
standing behind a podium
and a suit so I you know,
he won't win either, by the way,
but I like his outfit.
75 year-old Mary Wilson, I thought, did a great job.
She looked great, she moved great,
(audience applauding)
yeah
and she danced to "Baby Love"
which, I liked it.
"Dancing With The Stars" you know I know it's two hours
I'll never get it back in my life,
but I actually found it real entertaining.
Tom Bergeron is getting a little crusty and mean
as the seasons go on Norman did you watch?
I watched
He's got a little shade with him.
Well, a little edge.
Well, yeah I like it though, I like it though.
And then Christie Brinkley's daughter, Sailor,
I thought did a great job.
(audience applauding)
She danced to "Uptown Girl" and remember,
there was Christie there and like just like I told you,
Christie would still be there
she did even the most she came out
on to the floor while Sailor was read her numbers.
Which, Christie I thought that was a lot
and Christie, Christie I also heard
through my grapevine that you were
very upset with me for my opinion
of your alleged arm break.
I'm sorry girl, you know I love you,
Christie it's just that and,
and
(audience applauding)
you know, I see you with your cast
and stuff, I'm not going to double down on what I said,
but what I will do is apologize if I've hurt your feelings,
but my opinion still stands.
Aw
That's all, that's all.
(audience applauding)
A broken arm.
(audience laughs)
And also I want to show
a full body shot of Christie
Look how she looks at her age in the parking lot
going into a dance rehearsal.
Would you look at this?
Would you look at that?
(audience applauding)
Look at her go.
Thank you TMZ for that footage.
Christie hopefully you and I can still be cool,
but I'm just saying.
(audience laughs).
Anyway the highest score of the night went
to "Dawson Creek's" James Van Der Beek
friend to our show.
(audience applauding)
And he danced really well,
people are saying that he might have had cheeks done
and Botox, and whatever, people get things done.
Here's who I think who will win this season.
'Cause who I was watching with thought that Hines,
who's the ball player?
Ray Allen?
Right.
Yeah Ray Lewis, sorry, Ray Lewis.
Yeah, who I was sharing the meatballs with thought
that Ray Lewis will be the winner.
I said oh no, no, no, no it's gonna be
either James Van Der Beek or Hannah Brown,
who dances very well.
Oh yes.
(audience applauding)
Well, someone's going home
next week in advance,
Bye Lamar.
(audience laughs)
Just saying.
(audience applauding)
Nene's here and Greg is here with her.
(audience applauding)
Greg is not on the couch,
he's not a part of this woman's conversation
I guess he will be up in the greenroom watching
or something like that.
But, anyway, she's coming out a little later
In the meantime in Atlanta,
Phaedra is coming out
with a reality show
Ooh.
I warned you, Phaedra,
that no one cares.
(audience laughs).
Butm she's well, not a new one
actually she's going on "Marriage Bootcamp".
Ah.
Now first of all,
she's not marriaging or bootcamping.
She's had a boyfriend for six months.
This is how watered down these shows have become,
his name is Medina Islam.
And he's 35, does he have children?
He has, I found a two year-old daughter.
(Norman laughs)
That's a problem,
right there, too young
and only six months,
so what are you working on?
When you're with somebody for six months
if you've gotta go bootcamping then,
then what are you doing it for, a check.
(audience applauding)
I heard they pay pretty well on that show too,
so, Phaedra, I guess, needs the money
and she likes the spotlight
and their issue is going to focus
on whether or not Phaedra and her sons should move to L.A.
to be with this man.
Now Phaedra what part of oh hell no don't you understand?
(audience applauding)
At this point in Phaedra's life I think she's supposed
to be making money off of embalming and lawing.
Or something or being an Atlanta Housewife,
but they fired her so she's not there.
So, she's not welcome and she needs money.
If I were Apollo and I'm pro-Phaedra,
but if I were Apollo I wouldn't let you move
those boys outside of Atlanta proper,
no way, no way
He went to jail, he did time
for something you probably were very familiar with,
'cause the wife always knows
and now he's out of jail,
he got his little snowflake girlfriend, what they need
to do in Atlanta and I told Andy this behind the scenes
when I was on, "Watch What Happens Live" over summer.
I was like, Andy, you should bring Phaedra back,
but only if Apollo and the snowflake come along.
So then there's in-fighting and all kinds
of stuff going down
and then Phaedra can have her six month boyfriend there
and what not but Phaedra on Marriage
Do you watch "Marriage Bootcamp"?
No.
I mean clap if you do.
(audience applauding)
Not really our show.
I mean I seen it once or thrice.
I forgot who I saw on there,
they weren't married either.
So, I just, you know, I, alright Phaedra well,
if that's what you want to do go ahead.
(audience applauding)
And I guess I haven't been keeping up so much
with the Kardashians', 'cause I had no idea
that the kids have a problem with Corey Gamble,
Chris' boyfriend.
I did not realize that.
Well, now I've got a problem with Corey.
I mean I'm removed from the situation,
but this is how I feel as a mom.
Alright, first of all, on the next week's episode
Corey tells Scott
that he'd whip Scott's seven year-old daughter,
Penelope's behind if she ever misbehaved.
Now you take look at this footage,
listen very closely and then we'll talk.
I am shocked about last night.
If P scratch me, I'm whipping her ass.
My daughter?
Give her a spanking for sure.
My little daughter?
Whippin' is that discipline.
Don't ever talk about a child like that.
(beep)
What you talking about?
Get the (beep) outta here.
Ooh.
Now look that whole thing
about it takes a village
that no longer applies in new rules.
Remember when you were young,
if you are a particular age,
my parents' friends never beat my behind,
but I was a good girl too, I mean.
(audience laughing)
Or should I say I kept all my dirt down, down here.
So they never knew.
But remember when like your grandparents would beat you
or your aunts and uncles
or maybe the next door neighbor was allowed to spank you?
But that was back in the day.
These days the only people who spank are moms and dads
and even you all are scared to do that,
I never was, but you know what I mean?
"Cause now kids call the cops on their parents,
so you don't know what to do.
Alright take the money,
just leave me alone Jr.
(audience laughs)
So this is the boyfriend
of the grandmother.
So he's really removed
from the situation.
Corey and Chris, they've been together
for a moment but he's still just the boyfriend
of Penelope's grandmother.
So at what point does the boyfriend
of the grandmother spank?
Wait, no, clap if he's allowed.
Oh, okay well we're a pretty open crowd
here and not one person clapped, Suzanne?
No, he's not allowed to say that or do that.
Can you believe he said it?
I can't believe he said that,
it's horrible he shouldn't have said that.
Well, I guess he needs a storyline or something.
Yes, exactly and it worked, 'cause he's on "Hot Topics".
Yes, yeah.
(Suzanne laughing)
Anyway,
that episode comes on Sunday night at 9:00 on E!
I'll be there, yeah.
(audience applauding)
And I didn't realize this, okay,
so Liam Hemsworth, from Australia,
do you know that he found out
that his marriage to Miley was over the way all of us did?
On social media.
Ooh.
He's minding his own business,
doing his own thing, decides to go to the Googler
and he sees what?
I'm getting a divorce?
And my wife is back with women?
What?
Well, look look at the picture,
she's laid up with Kaitlynn Carter.
Ooh.
Look, look, look, I have no idea
where civility's gone,
but somehow this show fits right into it,
you know what I mean?
(audience applauding)
I feel like we were ahead of our time 11 years ago
when we were invented,
but now you all have all been hypnotized
by all this mess right here and we are right here
to lay it down.
I love it, I love it.
(audience applauding)
Funny thing is that we're not all as uncivilized
as you think.
People around here have legit marriages
and kids and, and lives.
You know what I'm saying, Norman?
Right, yeah,
we're real people.
Yeah, but not as real as that.
Right (laughs).
You know, at all.
Anyway, okay Miley is 26 years old,
she's been on and off with this man
since she was, well, 16 all right,
and she rides the wrecking ball with no clothes
and she wears the foam finger, and she twerks
and she's got midgets on stage and she's doing the most,
Liam should have known what he was involved with
to begin with, from the outside, but on the inside,
you know how you get in the house and close your door,
you are the calm person
and you could sit and watch "Dancing With The Stars"
with the meatballs, and you're not twerking
on a foam wrecking ball and stuff like that?
So he probably saw something in her
that was really, I don't want to say tameable,
'cause I hate that word
I'm going to tame you.
No, you're not.
But, but,
it's just, and you wanna know what?
She comes from a family, Billy Ray is so happy
with Lil Nas X thing.
Billy Ray is checked out, he's trying to slick his hair
and be cool and the mother, the mother looks as good
as the daughters, so she's probably in there moisturizing.
The whole family, and I don't know this for fact,
but I'm just as a Pop Culturnista, I'm just saying,
I bet you the parents didn't even get in her behind
for being so tacky
as to get on the Googler and say,
we're getting a divorce and here I am
with my lesbian lover or whoever that was that she was with.
Most parents, when you're 26 years old,
most parents would have put their foot in your behind
and made you call him up.
You call him up right now and you FaceTime him,
that's the least you could do.
You know what I mean the least.
(audience applauding)
Would it have stung more if she was kissing a man?
I say yes, 'cause somehow men think
that the little girl-on-girl action,
they always think, somehow they can flip ya,
and bring it right on back you know what I mean?
But if you're a woman and your man breaks up
with you on the Googler
and then you see him laid up with another man.
Ooh.
Is it, there is a double standard,
you know what I am saying?
(Norman laughing)
Sorry I was just reviewing in my mind.
There's a whole nother, yeah, yeah.
(audience applauding)
So I ran out of time yesterday.
didn't finish telling you about some of the things I did
for my Hot Girl Summer,
I'm so tired of that phrase but I like the song.
(audience cheering and clapping)
In a few days it's about to be follow me fall.
That's where you follow me on social media
and figure it out.
I'll explain when I can, but look, okay,
so I did spend time with Dr. Oz's wife Lisa,
daughter Daphne, yeah.
(Audience Clapping)
That's my girlfriend Jamie, she's my friend
from New Jersey and short hills,
so you know we went over to Oz's house,
it was wonderful, the food was sumptuous,
really healthy, but he also had some bad stuff too,
that's what I like, when the doctor says no, have,
but everything in moderation.
So then it just so happens I talked to Oz yesterday
at length on the telephone
and we're planning a little something,
I'm not gonna talk about it,
but we're planning
Ooh.
We're friends,
we were there for hours,
his compound, honey,
all I smelt was money.
[Audience] Yeah.
Okay?
It was really civilized,
we dressed casual, the grandchildren were running around,
it was like he's really living, a really,
if I were him I'd never work again,
I'd never leave the house.
(Audience Laughing)
You have no idea
Anyway thank you, Mammit, for that.
Also this summer I reconnected
with Bethenny Frankel.
Ooh.
Yes, oh yes.
I'm talking on the phone one day to NeNe,
'cause NeNe calls alot, Wendy pooh,
so I'm talking to NeNe, I forgot
how we get onto Bethenny,
it was mentioned or whatever, I said,
I never really had a problem with Bethenny,
I just think that Bethenny comes across a little too harsh,
too mean, and too cold but I don't mind that, (laughs)
but, and so I said I want her to be on the show
when we return and I said, get her on the phone.
I was challenging NeNe.
And she said hold on a moment.
Next thing you know,
the three of us on the phone, boom.
I said Bethenny hi, how you doing?
So, I hear all this noise in the background
like the buzzing of motors and stuff like that,
she was actually loading a bunch of stuff,
water and supplies on the plane.
She was about to go to Burmuda,
excuse me the Bahamas and she was on the runway,
but we reconnected I don't know Bethenny
off the purple couch, but you know,
I was like Bethenny, we should go out for dinner
or something like that blah blah blah,
plus I wanna have you on the show,
so she's back in the Fray
that's one of other things I did this summer.
(audience applauding)
Yeah, yeah oh, that's it for "Hot Topics".
Well we've got more great show.
(audience cheering and clapping)
Up next, the one and only NeNe Leaks.
So, grab a snack and come on back.
(audience applauding)
(upbeat music)
Whoop Whoop
(upbeat music)
