By acknowledging the co-host that she'd met at Whole Foods yesterday, I got the impression that she was trying to tone down her "I'm a jet-setter with celeb friends" monologue from yesterday. She probably had someone tell her that she was putting herself on a higher level with the hanging out with her new posse, and it could be alienating her fan base. So, today, she let the audience know that she will still interact with the little people that fan out when they see Wendy out and about. She still doesn't want to take a photo but she'll give you some free tickets. Oh joy. I did appreciate her telling people to have some respect for the police, coming from a family with two generations of NYPD.

The whole of HT was discussing every minute of her birthday (BD) weekend. Ego off the CHAIN yo! Wendy unleashed her new motto -”I don't know who she is, but I like her!” She is speaking about herself and her fabulous new life of parties, friends, and fun. She tells us that she was invited to Tiffany's (the fancy NY store, not a friend's spot) for a BD breakfast; she shows video/pics of her arriving in a strapless black pouf dress and crown – boobs just about spilling out. So tacky and yeesh for her age. Then, went shopping on the credit card she was given last week; bought tacky ugly sneakers. Recounted her BD dinner at Serendipity restaurant w/12 friends (Blac Chyna, Bevy Smith, etc.) with a few pics. Some of these BD guests then went to her new apartment, where Wendy says she advised a bodyguard to watch them(!) cause she doesn't trust people. She tells us that the big Nas listening party didn't happen cause things got too crazy, so her group ended up at some other party; Wendy breathlessly had Marco (hype man?) tell us how great Wendy DJ'd at this party. Then the party group ended up in a Mercedes Benz sprinter van looking for more FUN! Ended up at a strip club, with the dancers telling her their life stories while twerking for her, then Wendy got a stack of one dollar bills to shut them up. Next is the “thug boat ride” she was invited to and did a little DJing there too. Again, everyone loved her fabulous 80-90's hiphop playlist choices. More quick tidbits, like her driving her friends car w/o GPS at 2AM, her friend falling asleep and ending up lost near Kennedy airport, and even driving a Maserati - I'm blank on how that happened. Things ended with Wendy waking up with a bunch of the party friends sleeping on various surfaces in her place. By this time, it sounded like the co-hosts are overwhelmed - the clapping and hooting got more and more subdued and I'm exhausted. This pace could kill a person! No mention of the love of her life boyfriend celebrating w/her. Then Jason Lee came in with "REAL" gossip (ASAP Rocky, blah blah) which was short, since Wendy blabbered so long during HT. A Trendy at Wendy segment of overpriced stuff. I bailed at this point.

Maybe it's my aging eyes, but Ree looked pretty decent to me today -- it was the episode with the painting class at the Merch, and she made butterfly cookies, skewers, etc. Her hair was in a side bang and back over one shoulder. Maybe the style was softer or the color less harsh?

The next thing to hype up the drama is now that J knows that Smurf paid to have Baz killed, will he want to take revenge on Smurf. Even on the off chance that Baz WAS his father, is it worth it to him to kill her or will he recognize that Baz had stolen from Smurf and that is not something she'll let you walk away from.

Who else got nauseous watching Wendy scrape at her scalp with the handy-dandy "head scratcher" that the guest from yesterday gave her. She even did the closed eye Mmmmmm of satisfaction while scritching away. Barf. I hope this new accessory doesn't take up residence on her side table, along with the lozenges, Q-Tips, tissues, mesmerizer and mug. No one looks good scratching through their wig with something that looks like an olive fork.

Every episode I say SHUT UP, LARISSA! at least 4-5 times. Sick of the sound of her encouraging remarks to her colleagues.

I got a rerun too - it was the show that originally aired Monday, which was Wendy's first day back after hiatus. She did come out crying that show.

Wendy seems high today - very giddy, laughing and sniggering all during HT, acting all distracted and frantic. Did y'all catch the 60 seconds of strangeness from the audience? For those who don't watch: First, Wendy stopped HT to say there was a fight in the audience! It must have been a quick one, cause there was no audible ruckus. Then, Wendy decided to compliment a well dressed middle-aged woman in the audience who was dressed in an outfit usually seen on Park Avenue socialites -- some tasteful gold chains over a Chanel logo top and a big black Kentucky Derby-ish hat and one of those snap open fans; she snapped it so we could see it was black lace. The woman was given a microphone and started speaking in a heavy accent (maybe Spanish) about her psychic telling her to come to the show, that her wife in Europe was sick blah blah. (Then again, I'm not sure it was a bio woman - I'm 50/50 on that. The cheekbones were outrageous, though.) Wendy was thrown off for a second by the "wife" comment - she made a point to ask The Socialite "did you say your wife?". Wendy got a "uh oh, this one is a kook" look in her eyes. Then I guess she sensed that this was going to get out of hand and shut it down by saying "this is not a political show" and the woman's mike was cut. The one exciting minute in the whole hour.

Just saw a preview for one of the upcoming shows for the Fall season on Fox. It's called "Prodigal Son" and there was no mistaking the actor onscreen with the pretty eyes... it was Tom (Jesus) Payne. Not sure if he's the lead or co-lead, but it also stars fellow British actor Michael Sheen. I got a vibe that it has a supernatural/scifi theme from the clips they showed. I loved Tom Payne on TWD - he was seriously underused and I'm definitely going to give this new thing a look.

Hot Topics has turned into ME! Topics this week. 90% of the segment has been blah blah me, I, me. O.V.E.R.K.I.L.L. on her life. She spent a whole two minutes on Mariah Carey and turned it onto herself re: them both having/wearing shirts with their own faces on it, then two minutes on Meghan Markle, but then it went into how Meghan came to the WW studios looking to be hired back in the day. Dang, did Abby Miller go overboard on the tanner or what? She was almost Oompa Loompa orange.

Someone on a gossip forum wrote something that made me laugh and also go hmmm. Their statement was "isn't it lucky for Wendy that she's involved with a guy with access to a prescription pad". You can take that two ways -- he can get her meds for her illnesses OR he can get her access to the controlled stuff. EDIT: For those who watch live here on the East Coast on WNYW/Fox, the show tom'w (7/10) will be preempted by the Woman's Soccer team parade. However, I see that the local channel My9 will be airing the show at 10AM.

Two days in and I'm sick of her name dropping and star f**king - Kris, Kim, Kanye, Naomi, ASAP Ferg (who?). She's invited to Africa and yachts and to Tiffany's and rolling out her new comedy show with her stories in between acts. What addiction and health problems? After regaling us with her exciting new jet-set life full of fielding calls from this one and accepting safari invites from that one, she tones it down for a second to assure us all that she's still just lil old Wendy from NJ. All I could think of is that time she was on Howard Stern's show and accused HIM of "going Hollywood" and befriending celebrities. Hypocrite much?

Pretty sure that the gabby woman said something about having a minivan she used to taxi her many grandkids around and Smurf picked up that was her vehicle.

I am just a sucker for cute guys. I got misty when Deran told Adrian that he loves him, right after killing and burying the guy who said that Adrian is most likely a police informant. Fingers crossed that he loves him enough to not kill him by the end of the season.

Question: Did Oliver and Melanie's characters get killed last season? I only half watched the last few eps of S2 and notice that neither one has been seen so far. Thanks.
