Broadway World interview

Interview0 Comments

Williams sits down to an interview with BroadwayWorld an talks about her show’s new studio, her audience and hot topics segment.

You know I think the energy was first and the look came second. One of the great things about getting a new studio, first of all, we’re HD, we also needed a bigger space so we can fit more people now in our studio audience and our staff now has bigger areas to do their magic. As far as the energy, the energy comes from within. It starts with me as the host, and then the audience show up in their colorful clothing and they clap and they say it like they mean it. So no, the energy of the show has always been high. The studio is just more room for us to be energetic in!

Halle Berry interview

Interview0 Comments

Williams interviews Halle Berry and questions her about her rise to fame, new husband and family.

He wanted me to be a beauty queen so he said, I’m gonna put you in this thing and he did.  I showed up at the pageant and wore my prom dress that I had just worn to prom and miraculously I won it.  It put me on a journey that led me to meet my manager that I’ve known for 25 years that put me here to be able to sit here and talk to you. So it’s kind of like what our movie is about, things happen very poignant and defining things happen in our life and at the time we don’t know what this is going to mean.  It seemed so frivolous at the time, a beauty pageant winner, okay but it led to a lifetime relationship.

Nude PETA ad

09Williams poses nude for PETA ad, against fur.

PETA has really done something profound. They have proven that there is a sexy way to suggest to people, to rethink the fur. And I like it. I’m down. I would rather go naked that wear fur, it’s very sexy. As a former fur wearer you know I must say that I have not really given fur any thought for a good seven years.

 No. It was not exactly love at first sight. We were actually, we were both called to do a show in the Bahamas last year and it was awesome cause we had meet each other before. But there was nothing, like we just saw each other in passing. And then he [Jason] invited me to the after party afterwards.

Williams disses Beyonce voice

Interview0 Comments

Williams disses Beyonce during an episode of Hot Topics by making fun of how Beyonce talks.

I am a Beyonce fan. I’m gonna watch her upcoming documentary because fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I’ll be able to understand what she says. You know Beyonce can’t talk. She sounds like she has a fifth grade education.

Toni Braxton interview

Interview0 Comments

Williams interviews Toni Braxton, and questions her about her new movie, Braxton Family Values reality show and quitting singing.

I am done. I’m quitting singing. Well I have to do shows here and there. But I’m not going to do any more albums. But I won’t tour a lot. Not a lot. Just sparingly. Touring makes it a health reason why I’m done. But I have fallen out of love with it. It’s weird. I don’t know what to say when I hear songs. They don’t impact me, they don’t make me feel engrossed any more.
