Known as a "shock jock diva," Wendy Williams has had a following in
the nation's number one media market, New York City, and across the
nation from the time she became a top-rated radio personality and "It
Girl" in the mid-1990s--whether she's hosting her nationally syndicated
television talk show The Wendy Williams Show or doing commentary for
the VH1 Fashion Awards, her fans know that Wendy's Got the Heat.
Wendy Williams is the kind of media personality that artists love
because she builds them up--and fear because she can bring them down.
She's interviewed many of the biggest names in entertainment--Jennifer
Lopez, Whitney Houston, and Queen Latifah among them--and is known for
her ability to disarm and get them to reveal their secrets.
Known as both a "shock jock diva" and "the biggest mouth in New York,"
Wendy Williams is always at the top of her game, whether she's doing
commentary for the VH1 Fashion Awards or giving romantic advice. But
there's more to the Queen of Urban Radio than meets the mike. Wendy's
Got the Heat is her story--about growing up in a predominately white
suburb, recovering from drug addiction, struggling to launch a
successful career in one of the most male-dominated media
industries--and it's by turns painful, hilarious, triumphant, and
totally true.
