Bewigged, brash, and bodacious daytime newcomer Wendy Williams has devised a sneaky plot to snatch guests away from her Emmy-winning competitor Ellen DeGeneres.

The self-appointed Queen of All Media frequently found herself at the center of feuds with some of urban entertainment’s biggest names — including Diddy, Will Smith, and most notably Whitney Houston — during her more than 20 year career as a radio shock jock. Proving that her days as a mean-spirited chatterbox aren’t behind her, Wendy is reportedly courting a new battle with the beloved Ellen, as she bends the rules to snag guests away from the comedienne’s top-rated chatfest.


The outspoken Wendy is incensed that Ellen’s show, which airs on NBC, gets first crack at some of the most controversial personalities on reality TV since many of them appear on the Peacock-owned cable network, Bravo, TV tattles reveal in the Sept. 14 issue of The National Enquirer.

Crafty as she is flamboyant, Wendy has figured out a way to get the big names on her FOX show before they hit the Ellen stage — she’ll have them make a guest appearance in her studio audience.

“Wendy says since the stars are not sitting on the couch, they aren’t official interviews,” one industry industry chuckles. “She says the stars are just ‘chatting’ with her, but she’s delivering them to TV viewers first, which is what counts.”

In fact, Wendy’s already put her plan to work. On Aug. 21, Wendy featured The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kim Zolciak and “Flipping Out” star Jeff Lewis in her studio audience.

“The viewers don’t care that these people aren’t sitting next to her on the couch, but Ellen probably does!”
