Tough times predicted for newest Kardashian in-law

Talk show host Wendy Williams is underwhelmed by the Kris Humphries-Kim Kardashian union and forecasting big-time mother-in-law problems.

A prediction on how long the week-old marriage will last?

"Until it's been exhausted [translation: exploited] by the Kardashian family and Kris [Jenner] says, 'No more, Kim.' You know Kris rules."

As usual, Williams didn't know how to do anything but "Say It Like You Mean It," her show's credo, during our Friday chat at the Fox 9 studios and later in the day when she made appearances at the State Fair.

She sampled different foods but made a point of savoring a pork chop on a stick for fans who packed the Fox 9 booth. She did a Minne version of her celebrity/gossip/advice/food show, in reruns this summer, which she is promoting on a national bus tour during which she's also thanking fans. The third season starts Sept. 12.

"There's no rhyme or reason why TV shows get cancelled," she said. "Sometimes really good shows get cancelled, and sometimes really bad ones stay on TV. All I know is we're here, I'm grateful, and I'm here to thank people. I am also very eager to influence other people to watch the show."

Williams was also eager to hit the State Fair. "I won't be able to see the whole fair. I love food, though, so fried everything is good for me," she said.

She said Humphries' exclusion from the People magazine cover photo of his wedding was an example of the Kardashians' selfishness.

"But we love them. I love the Kardashians. I think the whole idea of the wedding being sold to the highest bidder and that whole bit" was tacky, she said, but "I understand why celebrities do that. They would rather the media not bombard their special day, they would rather sell it out. But the Kardashians walk to the beat of their own cheesy, selfish drum, and we love them for that.

"They are not our personal friends. We turn on TV for entertainment. At the end of the day they do have something I think secretly we all want, and that is a bunch of siblings and a close-knit family, so that we don't even have to deal with the outside world."

Williams is thrilled to be traveling the country -- sometimes actually riding her big pink bus, but often via air -- with her family plus the village it takes to accomplish her look, which continues to be a source of confusion to some.

And no, she is not a transsexual.

She could have had it allAdele gave Minneapolis' 112 Eatery a rave review from the stage of her sold-out concert last week at St. Paul's X.

She wasn't certain she correctly recalled the name of the restaurant where she reported having a lovely plate of ricotta and honey. Adele told her fans she went crazy and had THREE cranberry juices.

The restaurant confirmed that the night before her performance, Adele dined at one of chef/co-owner Isaac Becker's restaurants. The dashing Becker is James Beard Foundation's 2011 Best Chef in the Midwest.

TMZ reports that Jordan McGraw's new roommate is Crystal Harris, the runaway fiancée of Hugh Hefner. TMZ is told they are not dating, just staying in close proximity while Jordan finishes producing Crystal's album. That's a better-than-average cover story, save for reports in March (three months before she flew Hef's Playboy coop) that Crystal and Jordan were seen looking cozy at Chateau Marmont.
