Wendy Williams returns, literally eats crow

Bodacious, bombastic talk show hostess Wendy Williams returned to the airwaves on Monday for the debut of season six of her raucous chat fest. Yay! But it was not all fun and games, because Wendy finally had to make good on a promise she made long ago.

You see, funny Wendy once said that she was so sure that Kim Kardashian & Kanye West would never last long--and that if they did, she would eat crow. Well, Wendy is a woman of her word, so she showed up to the set with a chef and a bottle of hot sauce. Mmm-mm! (See the clip here.)

Wendy also did her usual thing and dished all about Beyonce & Jay-Z and Nick & Mariah. She also paid an emotional, hilarious tribute to Joan Rivers, who was a guest on Wendy's show a record eight times.

After a tough summer, it's a happy day when a sensational presence like this returns to light the screen back up. Welcome back Wendy!

Homespun Advice for Hollywood Celebrities: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

Cafeteria Lady entertainment blog contributor Angela Grammer knows that the stars aren't so different from the rest of us--they could use some of the plainspoken wisdom shared in families across America and the world. Today, Angela shares her heartfelt advice for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

Dear Mariah & Nick,

My heart is heavy as I read that Nick has confirmed that, yes, the rumors are true: after six years of marriage, the two of you have decided to divorce. I know that it is a difficult time for you, and for your entire family, but I hope you will have a moment to hear my heartfelt words for you.

It is especially sad to see the end of marriage between two people who have seemed so devoted to one another, so in love. All of America remembers how we rejoiced just three years ago when you welcomed your precious twin children into the world. And, Mariah, when you kept a vigil by Nick's side as he suffered from kidney failure, it was the kind of loving, caring behavior that every spouse should live up to.

Now, the waggling tongues of Hollywood say that cheating is tearing the two of you apart, and that Nick has made matters worse by telling stories in public that are just too, too public. I've known many couples hurt by these issues over the years. Some of them survive the challenge, but others do not. Bonnie Fuller suggests you stick it out. Maybe that could work. But nobody except you--not Bonnie, not me--knows what goes on when you two are behind closed doors.

So, Mariah and Nick, my advice is this: only you two really know if this marriage can be saved. And I beg of you to make sure the decision is right. But don't do it for me, for your heartbroken fans around the world, or even for yourselves. The ones you need to be thinking about now are your children.

My heart is with you at this tender time. --Angela Grammer
