"I try to look and I squint my eyes, but I don't see anything attractive about him," averred Wendy Williams on Fox 9 last week.
Was the talk show host discussing former NBA player Dennis Rodman or rapper Tyrese? Nope. Williams can't "see anything attractive" about New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries!
Humphries' lavish wedding to Kim Kardashian, which Williams called "tacky," was naturally a hot topic Friday when she co-hosted "The Buzz" with Jason Matheson and Alix Kendall.
To promote the third season of "The Wendy Williams Show," she's on a national tour to thank fans, while hopefully attracting new ones curious about the woman whose face is plastered on the side of her pink bus.
Belatedly, I reviewed the tape from Williams' "Buzz" appearance and I'm gobsmacked by her insulting comment about Humphries' looks. He's not exactly Quasimodo. Yes, there's a boyish, even puppy-dog quality about him. Puppies are universally considered cute, aren't they? (There is also an ungainly Great Dane puppy quality to the 5-11 Williams, as she tries to remain upright while walking in those 6-inch heels she likes.)
Obviously, Williams is blinded by her disdain for the Humphries-Kardashian pairing.
"I don't particularly care for them as a couple," Williams confessed on Fox 9. "I think Reggie was a way hotter choice."
Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. Can't quite extinguish that flame for Reggie Bush?
