Thank you.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
For watching my show.
Say hello to my co-host, my studio audience.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
I love it.
Love it.
How you doin'?
How you doin'?
I'm doin' okay.
Let's get started.
It's time for Hot Topics.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
(deep bass music)
So Kim K
is promising to stop posting sexy selfies in 2020.
Oh.
I am very upset by this.
(audience laughs)
Okay, so she sat down with New York Magazine
and she says,
like this is a sexy selfie,
whether she's naked or not.
This is still sexified to me,
only 'cause of what she's done to her body.
It's like damn.
(audience laughs)
Okay, so she says the decision was partially influenced
by all of the work that she's done with the White House.
She's getting carried away with the law.
Plus she's a mom.
I would imagine that enters it, she's a mom.
And also, look, she's 39,
you know what I mean?
We forget.
But to me, she doesn't have to stop.
Kim, you can't help that you're sexy,
even when you're walkin' around with your kids.
Did you see that pose with she and the kids?
One before this.
(audience murmurs)
Wow.
She's fully covered.
A nun is as covered as that.
(audience laughs)
You know what I mean?
Kim, you can't help who you've become.
And I just say go with it.
She doesn't wanna post anymore bikini shots.
Do we have that one?
Yeah, we do.
The one with the slingshot, oh, okay.
Wow.
Okay.
But to me,
there's no difference between that shot
and the shot where she's wearing the head to toe leotard
or out on a play date with her kids.
It's all sexified.
You can't, there's no denying.
She says, "I wanna live more in the moment."
(audience laughs)
What she was saying in the article,
she was saying, or to the New York Times person,
she was saying, "I used to go places
"and the first thing that I would do
"is say oh my gosh, that mountain setting is beautiful.
"I'm gonna come back here and take pictures."
Or "Oh my gosh, this pool side is beautiful.
"Let's find out what time the sun sets.
"I gotta get out there."
She was obsessed with the scenery
and wanting to take selfies and pictures
and be photographed and things like that.
(audience laughs)
I say keep going.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
But let me take an authentic Wendy poll.
We like to poll around here.
Clap at 39 if you feel as though it is time for her to stop
taking the sexies and be more serious.
(some audience applauds)
Okay, a few haters.
Either they--
(audience laughs)
Okay.
And none of you got the body so therefore, okay.
And there are a few of you who clapped, a couple of the men,
who you know.
(audience laughs)
How they doin'?
(audience laughs)
No, Kim, keep it goin'.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
Keep it going.
I don't look at her any different.
As a matter of fact, to me, it makes it more phenomenal
that she goes from the White House
to a string on the beach
and still looks great.
It makes her to me more like wow, look at her go, right?
Yeah.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
Right?
All's I'm sayin'.
Okay, so Dennis is gonna have a reality show.
Oh.
Well, I was telling you about this.
(audience gasps)
(audience murmurs)
By the way, a happy birthday to my manager, Bernie.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
Bernie and Dennis look just alike,
if we can get back to that picture, yes.
(audience laughs)
I know, I know, right?
Bernie is such a comforting person to me in my new life.
His birthday was actually yesterday,
I forgot to say it and everything.
I mean I gave him a hug privately.
(audience laughs)
But I've been so busy
and I'm not on that gift thing anymore, Suzanne.
You know, I'll give you a gift and stuff like that.
And so I said Bernie, oh,
but we have a date on Sunday.
Oh good, good.
Yeah.
But Bernie's like "You already gave me my gift."
I'm like "What's that?"
He's like "This."
Oh.
Uh-huh.
Like being here and being outta the house.
Yeah, Bernie.
You know what I'm saying?
(audience applauds)
He's the man.
Me and Bernie.
He's the man.
Bernie and I have so much fun.
He's like the uncle that you wish you always had.
You know what I mean?
Right, Norman?
Right, I love Bernie.
Uh-huh, Bernie!
Everybody here loves him too.
My mother and father love him.
My son loves him and trusts him
with his mom,
and the whole bit.
So on Sunday, Bernie and I are going to see the Nets
break somebody's ass.
I forgot who plays.
Oh my God, oh.
Yeah, yeah, we have a full date.
Wow.
Yep, mhm.
Well, that should be fun.
Me and Berns.
Aw, yay, Bernie!
Happy belated birthday, Bernie.
Uh-huh.
(audience applauds)
But anyway, so here's Dennis right?
So Dennis is Drake's dad.
Dennis doesn't say how old he is.
He will not.
I asked him confidentially,
"Look, Dennis, how old are you?"
He said no, which I find that to be weird,
people who don't say their age,
even when you do it in confidence like this,
like Wendy, I'll tell you how old
but please don't tell the people,
'cause I wouldn't tell the people.
(audience laughs)
(Norman laughs)
This sounds good though right here
when I talk like this, right?
(audience laughs)
Attention everybody.
(audience laughs)
Dennis is in talks with two networks
to help him find a soulmate.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
And so I was asked in our meeting
do I think that Drake is upset by this.
And I said no.
Dennis was in and out of Drake's life.
In and out of his life, yep.
In and out of his life.
So now he's in.
And Dennis has his own social life.
He doesn't cause trouble.
He just shows up every place.
(audience laughs)
Dennis is a cool dude but he knows how to play his position
I guess as far as--
(audience gasps)
Dress the part.
(audience laughs)
But Dad, but Dad.
(audience laughs)
Excuse me, sir.
You got some nerve.
(audience applauds)
No.
You got some nerve.
Now you're younger than, you're on your way to Dennisdom.
(audience laughs)
All right?
You got on a hat and a full cape.
(audience laughs)
Okay?
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
You're more his son than Drake is.
(audience laughs)
Okay?
Would you watch this show?
I would watch this show,
but they gotta make it available to me.
Now I would like to see this maybe on Zeus
or somethin' like that
'cause then the lineup could be Blac Chyna,
and then the Tokyo Toni show,
and then the Dennis show, or somethin' like that.
But I hear he's actually in talks with We TV.
Oh.
Which is easier for me 'cause I actually get that
on my channel.
(audience laughs)
Anyway, Dennis, good luck finding love.
(audience applauds)
I'll watch.
At least one or three episodes.
You got some nerve.
(audience laughs)
This is the last day before Thanksgiving
and then our show goes on break until following Monday.
So I'm multi-tasking again.
Andrews is here.
Come on, Andrews.
Yes.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
Yeah.
'Cause when I sign off, I'm signin' out.
I'm going home with this entire outfit.
I can't take it anymore.
(audience laughs)
Kim Richards has broken the sister code.
(audience murmurs)
And no matter what you think, I still stick by,
I didn't even think about this over the weekend.
Kim went to Lisa Vanderpump's dog foundation gala
and it was thrown by her sister's worst enemy
and that would be Lisa Vanderpump.
Kyle and Lisa Vanderpump do not get along.
If you have a sister and you care anything about her,
the worst thing you could do is violate the sister code
by goin' to her enemy's party.
Look, look, look, this is the gala, okay, and watch.
They're not just talking but you don't see arms flailing
like an argument.
Then they break talk and they actually pose for pictures.
(audience murmurs)
If I were Kyle, I would be pissed.
Kim, you should've known better.
I don't blame Vanderpump though
'cause she's a sneaky sneak.
(audience laughs)
You know what I'm saying?
And all she did was bait Kim
and Kim was less than smart enough to fall for it.
Even if you got the invitation, Kim,
and you called Kyle and said Kyle, I was invited.
Do you mind if I go?
Even that's a violation, right?
You shouldn't even have to ask your sister
about somethin' like that.
We as a nation know that Kyle and Vanderpump
do not get along.
Kim, you're not a good sister.
In this particular case.
But I like you, Kim, and I like you, Kyle.
I also like Vanderpump.
But this mess right here should not have happened.
(audience applauds)
You goin' back to Chicago for Thanksgiving?
No.
I'm actually going to Jersey, to a friend's house in Jersey.
Woo.
Oh.
(few audience applauds)
Is it gonna be a soiree or just the two of you intimately?
No, it's a whole family situation.
Aw.
Oh.
Your mom's comin' to town?
No, no, no.
My friend, goin' to visit my friend's family.
Oh, it's a friends-giving?
Yeah.
Well, that's fun.
Yeah.
Why aren't you goin' to Chicago?
We have time off.
'Cause I go at Christmas
and that's like two weeks away.
All right.
So I don't have to go like--
I know.
Yeah.
But the holidays are too close together.
I know.
Yeah, so I choose Christmas.
I got so many different flights scheduled,
I have lost count.
(Norman laughs)
I'm goin' to my sister's.
Aw.
Nice.
Yeah.
I don't know, everybody's responsible for bringin' a dish.
Oh-oh.
Which I like though.
No, not oh-oh, right?
(audience laughs)
'Cause young Kev, he's plant-based
so he's makin' the sweet potatoes.
He's perfected the recipe, he already talked to me about it.
He's makin' sweet potatoes.
And me, those cookin' days are over,
but there's this place that makes very delicate,
the lamb chops.
Mm.
(Wendy smacks lips)
(audience laughs)
So they're more for the appetizer,
you know what I'm sayin'?
So everybody fills up and who cares about the,
like I don't care about the meal.
I like the stuff before.
So I'm bringing the lamb chops
and I'm gonna stop at the grocery store before
and get the mint jelly.
Mm.
Mhm.
Lamb chops for everybody.
And then, I've ordered from the same place
that makes excellent stuff, sausage stuffing
'cause not everybody doesn't like sausage,
you know what I'm saying?
I'm talking about the real deal.
Come on, why do we all have to suffer?
(audience laughs)
And my mom is making succotash, which I love succotash,
and nobody makes it like Shirley.
And everybody's bringing something over
and it's just gonna be one of those days.
We're gonna dress the way we want.
Nice.
You know what I mean?
Nobody post anything on Facebook
without everybody in the room knowing what you're posting.
And it's just fun.
I was supposed to have everybody here
but I don't want my parents going to the airport
and flyin' and stuff.
So I'll just agonize and do it alone,
like I'll just be tuggin' and pullin'.
(audience laughs)
(Norman laughs)
And avoidin'.
(audience laughs)
(Wendy laughs)
(audience applauds)
And then the day after Thanksgiving is a big party day
so when you see me on Ocean Avenue, say what's up.
(audience laughs)
Okay?
(Wendy laughs)
Mel B, everybody, oh gosh.
All right, this is kind of a complicated story
but not really.
Mel B wants multiple partners to serve her different needs.
(audience murmurs)
No. (laughs)
Okay, hold on.
Here's what she said on her Truth Flirts podcast.
In an ideal world,
you'd have this person there for your emotional support.
You'd have that person there for your intimacy.
I like your style.
I would like to think that there's one person that could--
Cover the whole--
Encompass everything.
But I'm like three marriages later,
three kids later, and I'm thinkin' is there ever
that one person that just can have everything?
(audience murmurs)
Clap if you think that there's one person
who has everything from you?
(audience applauds)
Wow.
Wow.
Honestly, I used to think that in old life.
But then new life happened and I think,
(audience laughs)
no, no, no, but then new life happened
and I have a particular amount of maturity
and I do a lot of thinking.
I thought before but more thinking.
And I think that there is not one person
who can satisfy everything.
I think that,
and I've always subscribed to this,
even when I was a little girl,
you should start by being your own best friend.
Yes.
All right, that's first and foremost.
(audience applauds)
And then,
in old life, I thought then you get married
and have children, and that man or that woman
is your other part of just you.
But now I feel like no, that's not the way it is.
In new life, because I'm a particular age,
I'm not investing all of that that I did in my younger years
and raising a family and stuff, in another man.
I'll invest just enough.
So it's me first being my own best friend, still, always.
(audience applauds)
Then after that,
it's romance, and I would like romance with intellect.
I would like that, you know what I mean? (laughs)
(audience applauds)
In old life, sometimes you take a dumbbell,
you got dumb boyfriends.
(audience laughs)
Just a guy 'cause he's hot or whatever.
But I need romance and intellect on the same page.
I need to have a conversation.
And then after that, a bunch of silly friends
that you do stuff with,
like hey, I'm callin' Jackie
because she makes me laugh this way
or I'm calling Marnie 'cause she makes me laugh this way
or I'm calling Beth because I felt a lump
and I know she's a cancer survivor
and I wanna talk, you know what I mean?
When she says it, why do I always go to the sex part?
(audience laughs)
You know what I mean?
Like okay, you want a girl for this and a man for that.
(Wendy laughs)
Mel is a particular age.
How old is Mel now?
44.
She's 44.
She looks good.
But Mel wants to move back to England as well.
Because she can't find work here.
Well no, it's not a Joe Giudice thing.
(audience laughs)
But it is in the same lane, kinda sort of.
Mel has only been here in America
because she has a working visa.
She's not a citizen.
And her working visa expires in February.
Oh.
And she's like well, now, what am I going to do for money.
They fired her from America's Got Talent last year,
which was a mistake, by the way.
She was really good on that show.
And then they hired Gabrielle Union and Julianna Hough?
Correct.
And then they both recently got fired.
Correct.
(audience murmurs)
Or somethin'.
So now,
I mean America's Got Talent,
even if she knocks on your door,
you can't hire her back 'cause once you fire somebody,
it's just like you're admitting you made a mistake.
By the way, Heidi Klum, okay,
'cause they let her go too,
along with Mel.
They were two really good, here she is.
This is what I wanted to show you.
Me and my Style Squad didn't break down her look
at the American Music Awards
but I thought this was one of the hottest outfits
on the red carpet.
(audience applauds)
I would love to wear that outfit in 32 seconds,
I would love to.
(audience laughs)
Anyway, I don't know what she's going to do for money
but I gotta tell you, Mel,
I don't why you're talkin' like this.
In February, if your visa runs out,
what are you gonna do, take your kids and go to England?
Your monster ex-husband, Stephen,
he has custody still,
Wednesdays and alternate weekends.
We talked about this before on the Hot Topics.
Wednesday, he's not gonna let her go, Norman.
(laughs) He is not.
Even if he doesn't care about the kids,
just to ruin her life.
Right. (laughs)
Yeah.
I don't know what she's going to do.
She says she has work already lined up in England
but she's got kids who are young.
She's got a three-year-old or somethin' like that.
Yeah.
An eight-year-old.
Yeah.
The kids have already made friends here in America
and in their neighborhood and in their school system.
You better get that American visa and find a job here.
Yeah.
(audience applauds)
So you can deal with that ex-husband of yours, Stephen,
and keep your kids settled.
I don't know.
(audience laughs)
44 is too old to be movin' around, you know what I mean?
There comes a certain point in your life
like you've moved around enough
and you know exactly where you wanna live
and retire and stuff.
For me, it's all about this tri state area in New York.
I'm not movin'.
If I got a call,
I am not moving.
(audience applauds)
I go to Miami, it's cute to visit
and I'm not a snowbird.
There's a lotta good stuff goin' on in LA
but I'm not movin', you know what I mean?
I'm stuck in my ways and I love it here.
Listen, that's it for Hot Topics?
That's it.
All right.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
We have more great show for you everybody.
Up next, the very funny Lea DeLaria is here.
So grab a snack and come on back.
(dance music)
(audience cheers)
