Mincing words has never exactly been a prized personality trait of ‘Queen of All Media’ Wendy Williams.

The daytime talk show host – whose seen her Twitter mentions absolutely lit up in the past for disparaging remarks about the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and many more – is certainly no stranger to seeing those very words upset some devoted fan bases in her day.  But, despite the harsh social media draggings she’s endured for ruffling the feathers of members of those respective groups, none have seemed to take her to task like the gospel community after she took to her comfy chair to slam The Clark Sisters.  That’s right, the legendary Clark Sisters.

See the video that set tongues wagging then read some of the ongoing online attacks:

Just in case you needed a reminder why she is “simply the best,” Queen of Rock & Roll Tina Turner looked every bit the part when she stepped out in London last night (April 17) to celebrate the premiere of ‘Tina:  The Tina Turner Musical.’ A biographical musical based on her life (as we previously reported here), the legendary songstress and husband Erwin Bach took to the event’s long-awaited opening in Londontown’s famed Aldwych Theater.

Dressed down in all black and all smiles for what’s reportedly her first red carpet appearance in half a decade, Turner toasted Tony-nominated performer Adrienne Warren (who plays her in the musical), took pics with all the cast, and looked to be quite pleased with the show.

J. Cole is on the cusp of releasing one of the most hotly anticipated albums of the year – and only announced the set two days ago.

The Hip-Hop titan will unleash LP ‘KOD’ this Friday (April 20th).

Never one to follow the rules, the rapper ditched the traditional roll-out and following the LP’s shock announcement staged surprise back-to-back gigs in New York and London to play the project in full live.

Recording devices were prohibited, as such much about the album remains a mystery.

It is, however, known that Cole confirmed that he recorded the set in two weeks; he stressed that that its recording was seamless – as if God was writing his bars.

As for what ‘KOD’ means, there are apparently three simultaneous translations – ‘Kidz On Drugz,’ ‘King Overdose,’ ‘Kill Our Demonz.’
