Roundups #54: The Wendy Williams Show Is Reportedly Dead, Fenty Beauty Expands To Africa And Katy Perry Lands The Lead Role In Melody

Wendy is nowhere in site

Wendy Williams insists she's getting her show back despite getting replaced by Sherri Shepherd. It’s hard to say goodbye to Wendy Williams for some staffers at her eponymous talk show, while others are ready to move on with Sherri Shepherd.

“There’s talk [of how to say goodbye] and a lot of people on staff feel like there should be a tribute to [Wendy] or some kind of farewell,” an insider revealed.

 

Shepherd will inherit most of Williams’ production staff when her show debuts in September. And while it’s not confirmed, Shepherd is expected to guest host the last episodes of Williams’ show, which “makes it awkward because she’s the one replacing her,” the first source said.

Rihanna is now seeking to tap into the demand. And there is every indication that the products will sell out. After all, the celebrity is wildly popular across African countries, with millions of fans who will be influenced to patronise. The Fenty Beauty products will be competing with both local and other international beauty brands.
