Wendy's Got the Heat, Wendy Williams, ISBN: 0743470214
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Known as a "shock jock diva" and "a radio gossip guru," 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 doing color commentary for the VH1
Fashion Awards or giving advice on her daily drive-time show on New York's
WBLS, her fans know that Wendy's Got the Heat.
She's 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 -- including Jennifer Lopez, Whitney
Houston, Queen Latifah, and many more -- and is known for her ability to disarm
and get them to reveal their secrets. Known also as the "biggest mouth in New
York," she is candid as well in discussing her own drama-filled life --
including her public struggles to recover from drug addiction, her
miscarriages, being forced out of her job, and rehired to a top spot in radio.
Her story begins in a conservative middle-class black family in predominately
white Ocean Township, New Jersey, far from the glitz and grit of urban and
hip-hop culture. Her family sent her to college more with the intention of
seeing her become a respected journalist, wife, and mom than launch a
successful career in one of the most male-dominated and competitive media
industries of all. Now, it's Wendy's turn to talk about herself; a chance to
laugh, cry, and reflect on the woman she was to becoming the woman she is now,
the "Queen of Urban Radio."
