God this woman is GORGEOUS STILLLLL!!!!

Wendy's crying and will only call her Ms. Carroll I love it!

Wendy asked her "I'm sorry for being so tacky but is that all your hair?"

Diahann: "It's my SIB hair . . . Some I Bought."

I can’t wait to see this later today. The other day she had on Iman.

Diahann about her role on Dynasty: "I wanted to be a black bitch!"

Wendy be DOIN' it with these guests. She just had Chris Brown on too.

Next week she has Morris Chestnut and Naughty by Nature

How does a LEGENDARY fierce woman of distinction end up on Wendy Williams?

Iman was on there yesterday she's had GREAT guests since she started. I love her show.

I had no idea Diahann was on a new show called White Collar. I'ma have to check this out.

In all fairness, I've only seen bits and pieces here and there.
She's just so trashy (don't get me wrong johnart likes his healthy dose of trash) that it surprises me some of these CLASSY women would go on.

johnart said:

Watch the show, then decide. She's actually quite genuine and charming in her own way. I'd certainly take her over Oprah ANY day.

I love Wendy... and I LOVE Ms. Carroll. I'll have to find out when this is next airing in these parts.

johnart said:

She has somehow managed to have some good guests. I check in to see who's on then I usually erase. But I don't want to miss a sit down with Diahann Carroll or Linda Carter.

SCNDLS said:

I guess I'm stuck on when she had that VH1 show (which I liked).

It's not that I don't like her, I was surprised by the guest/host combo.

You know what's funny, the guests seem to genuinely love her or click very well with her. Many have met her from before or know of her but to see them connect live is always interesting. I particularly liked the interview with Judith Light.

I've met all kinds of celebs and not batted an eye but I would positively PEE myself if I ever met Ms. Carroll.

I have loved her since she was on Dynasty. When I was a kid, she was the first black woman I remember being beautiful and glamarous and larger than life on tv. And she's definitely lived an exciting life on HER own terms.

I completely started worshipping her after seeing her on A Different World as Whitley's mother. The wedding episode was classic Diahann.

JackieBlue said:

I love Judith Light.

DAMN y'all are gonna make me set my dvr to start tapin her.

JackieBlue said:

YES, that was a good one. I wasn't expecting Judith to be so sweet cuz she does cool and detached so well.

The thing that shines thru with Wendy is that it's obvious that she's a fan of all the people she's interviewing so she interviews them like a fan or chats like a girlfriend would.

That was a FUN interview and she was flawLESS!

johnart said:

It's edited but I love the part at the end when she's like OMG.

Anytime I see Diahann and Sidney Poitier I wonder if they ever regret not staying together. In my mind, they woulda been the perfect elderly couple, like a glamarous version of Ruby and Ossie





Love this movie! This was a hot looking cast and you know everybody was fucking on the set. That gatdamn Paul Newman was fine as hell!

I love the scenes with Louis Armstrong but my favorite part is when Paul Newman tries to pick up Diahann Carroll at the train station (initially, he was actually pushing up on Diahann instead of the character played by Joanna, his wife).

Paul: Your girlfriend as pretty as you are?
Diahann: Yes . . . she's a white girl.
Paul: She might be hard to find, all these white girls look alike.

Funny dialogue considering it's 1961. The whole premise was really progressive too: Two girls, one black, one white, being best friends and travelling to Paris together and hooking with a black dude and white dude that are also best friends. Pretty fearless for '61.

She's great on Law & Order. And who could forget her classic run on 'One Life to Live'?

JackieBlue said:

Ok, I'm sold. Where's that. How does the Org influence your opinions thread???

SCNDLS said:

Judith looke AWESOME.

uPtoWnNY said:

She is good on Law & Order and Ugly Betty.

johnart said:

johnart said:

She also has THE best musical guests that sing LIVE.
In the last few weeks she had Pointer Sisters, Martha Wash, Amerie, Ledisi, Gloria Gaynor. Lots of fun old school and new artists that better be able to sing for real or else.

Here she's talking about her role in Claudine. She has really had the best plastic surgery EVER!

SCNDLS said:

Lawd Martha Wash??? Was this a gay pride show?

Martha Wash was one of my favorite voices to werrrk when I did drag.
Matter of fact I won my very first pageant doing a Martha Wash mix.

Can you upload something off a dvd onto youtube?

Lawd, I hope so.

Martha did it's raining men. Also awhile back she had CC Peniston on. Wendy LOVES her gays and they turn her show out on the daily. The fashion on her audience is sooo extra. I loves it!
[Edited 11/13/09 9:20am]

Lawd and anytime Diahann and Patti Labelle got into it on A Different World was just HILARIOUS!
