Cop a gander of Wendy Williams!

The talk-show maven features a-front of the May issue of Ebony magazine and looks all sorts of lush.

Within her  feature, the 50-year-old former shock-jock reinforces her lack of love for the traditional trappings of Hollywood, yet also adds:

“Sometimes I feel a little guilty, like there is going to come a time when all of this isn’t going on and I’m going to regret not lunching at Michael’s with the celebrity girls. But right now, this feels great.”

As recently reported, Williams – who celebrated the 1000th episode of the ‘Wendy Williams Show’ last year – was recently nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards. The show, which is now in its seventh season, routinely outperforms the likes of ‘Ellen’ and ‘The View.’

More power to her.
