Wendy Williams Lands First Post-OP Aretha Franklin Interview + Nas And Kelis Back Together...On Stage!

Today on "The Wendy Williams Show," the talk show queen announced that she will interview another  person of royalty...the Queen of Soul.  Get the deets inside about Aretha Franklin's first interview since her surgery a few months ago. 

Also, Nas and Kelis have reunited...at least on stage.  The former couple played to an Australian audience with Erykah Badu and we have pics for you.

 

Wendy Williams announced on her show today that she has landed an exclusive interview with Aretha Franklin.

“The legendary Aretha Franklin has invited me to do an exclusive, in person intimate conversation with her in Detroit, that's where she lives...The way I figure, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I'm going to go to Detroit where Aretha lives and where she reigns supreme and this is like the big sit down interview. So I'm packing my bags and we'll bring the camera crew and everything, and so far Aretha has two activities she wants us to do.

First thing is she wants us to go to the gym and the second thing is she wants us to have high tea together. That's fancy. When you have high tea, you wear one of those big hats like you're at the Kentucky derby and you drink with your pinky out and you eat square sandwiches with fancy stuff in between like grass. Even though Ms. Franklin this is a dream come true, I'm just so surprised that we're not eating the real food that I love to eat in Detroit...but that's ok, we're both on the slim down; we just need to relax. I'm going to share that interview with you guys next week.”

 

That should be a good interview.  I'd love to know if she is considering Jennifer Hudson for a role in her bio-pic.

Watch the clip here:

 

 

And down under in Australia.... 

Erykah Badu was one of the main acts for the Good Vibrations Music Festival in Gold Coast, Queensland.

She wore red, white and blue with a long wig.

Kelis was one of the other acts to play that night.  And it looks like she wore a pink stocking.

And you won't believe who else was on the festival's marquee..

Nas was in the building!

He brought along Damian Marley.


It's nice to see that although they aren't together, Nas and Kelis are professional performers who have no problems being in the same arena together.  I'm so sad they divorced.  I liked them.
