So, Wendy Williams — former DJ, TV and radio talk-show host, author and celebrity baiter — what’s it like to be the Queen of All Media?
“I’ve done away with titles, but yeah, I like to think of myself as having my foot in all mediums,” she tells The Post’s Barbara Hoffman. “I don’t know if that’s the queen or not, but I conquered radio, I was inducted into the [National] Radio Hall of Fame, made the Times’ bestseller list twice and now I’m on TV.”
She certainly is. “The Wendy Williams Show,” which she calls “the little train that could,” has been picked up for another season. (Season 2 premieres Sept. 6.) Here’s what’s in her library.
The 48 Laws of Power
by Robert Greene
This is a book I go back to and refer to fairly often. He basically points out ways of maneuvering through life and maintaining a position of power as you do it. It’s not for the faint of heart . . . My copy’s autographed.
Homecourt Advantage
by Rita Ewing and Crystal McCrary Anthony
It’s a juicy novel, loosely based on the life Rita and Crystal knew as basketball wives — the struggle with groupies, the temptation of cheating — for the wives as well as the basketball-playing husbands in the book. It came out about 15 years ago, and I read it twice. If there was a book I’d grab to go to the beach, this is it.
Of Mice and Men
by John Steinbeck
It’s a reflection of childhood – I think it was a sixth-grade read, I haven’t picked it up since, but it still makes me smile. That gentle giant thing — just because you’re big doesn’t mean you’re horrible . . It was one of the times, growing up, that I said, “This reading thing is not so bad.”
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret
by Judy Blume
I grew up in Ocean Township, NJ, an hour outside the city. I was pretty much an introvert with an extrovert waiting to burst out. I was biding my time waiting to launch myself. I found this a fabulous read as a teenage girl, getting used to the changes in my body. No, I haven’t read Chelsea Handler’s version, but I am a fan.
