some really amazing men. it affirmed my belief there are single men who want to get married, who want to be in a committed relationship. i haven't found him yet but 30 dates is 30 more than i went out last year. >> wendy: one thing she's doing is putting herself out there. >> i'm having a good time. it's not just about getting a rung on my finger. it's about really enjoying this journey. after a while, it gets exhausting and you get tired and i just need to find a way to make it fun and exciting. it's been amazinamazing. >> wendy: is all of the feedback on your blog positive feed back, like you go, girl? >> 90% is. there's always haters out there. >> wendy: yes. >> there's always going to be. >> wendy: hi, haters! yes. >> you know what i'm talking about. >> wendy: yes. >> but mostly i get a lot of women but i get men, too. and they're all saying, you know, either they're married and they have been where i was and they're saying, you continue to go. i was in your position and you'll make it. or single women saying i have been sitting on the couch every

friday night and i have been watching you and you're having fun. i will go out there too. >> wendy: i think your energy is up and good. and guys love that. you look perfectly cute. i would suggest you keep doing it and take the time limit off of it and just have fun. >> i say if by the end of this year if i don't find him, it will still have been the best year i ever had. >> wendy: you're not going to go back into hibernation, are you? >> i did say at the end of the year, there were consequences which i really felt i needed. if i don't find him by the end of this year, i'm going to take a year off at pursuing love. >> wendy: you will be back in the game at 44? >> yes. >> wendy: think twice. she's cute. we will help you find that man. listen, if you would like to score a date with the fabulous nina, all you have to do is go to my website, wendyshow.com, for more information and keep us updated on your progress. it's nina, right? >> nina. >> wendy: they spelled it high phonetically. >> it's a city in wisconsin. >> wendy: n-e-e-

>> n-e-h. >> wendy: it's time for "hot topics." i know what you mean with that spelling. it did throw me off. i remember when i was a kid, i wanted to be different. i didn't tell my parents this but i started writing my name on my papers, this must have been sixth great, judneyie. how you doin'? [ applause ] look, i'm glad you guys are here, but let me just say this, you're going to be so disappointed in me but this is the kind of girl i am. i was too busy this weekend and i did not watch the emmys. i walked in and out of the room. i know they were doing the red carpet on e! i count on the red carpet this

coming weekend and i'm too cheap to have the full cable in the kitchen where i was doing all of my cooking so i was not able to see the red carpet. and then the actual emmys. i didn't see all of them but i saw a lot of highlights, like many of you all did. i thought justin timberlake looked cute and neil patrick har i. i love, love, love him. and he was the host last night. neil patrick harris. it was on cbs. so vanessa williams, our friend to the show, she lost out for best supporting actress, as did stacey morgan, best supporting actor. but to me they're both winners. "30 rock" won like everything, including best comedy. everybody watches "ugly betty." and why was victoria rowell from "the young and the restless" there in a weird barack obama dress? what was that, vicky/victoria? well, it certainly did get her the attention she was looking for. and i love, love, love the hair.

by the way, she used to date 50 cent. and tried to -- i used to have a red carpet series of specials on vh1, and so she walked down the red carpet alone one time and i saw ferrell up there, you know, up the red carpet. i said i'm going to hook up with ferrell, okay? and i don't think that ever ended up happening. but she puts herself out there, nehna and that's what you have to do. >> i'm try 1234g justin timberlake won for guest hosting "snl," as he should have. he's always been really good, right? [ applause ] i -- i like how he gets along with everybody. you know, if there was such a thing as an ambassador for race relations, you know, in entertainment, you know what i mean? somebody said he had s-curl in his hair last night. [ laughter ] anyway, mimi from "housewives atlanta" hosted the preshow with jay manual from "top model," and

she had on red lipstick. and when i say it was red, it was fire. because i was walking in and out of the room. if you follow me on twitter, then you know i was twitting all day yesterday. i unplugged -- i put the plunger in the toilet. i made two different entrees. because i like to get my cooking for the most part done on the weekends, at least my entrees and i do my vegetables during the week as requested. also, this past weekend was like the last full weekend if you're like me everything annal having everything paid by the first of the month. do you do that? so i love the feeling of after you pay the bills, like after the show today, i will take myself to the post office. i don't pay anything online. i have my stamps, my envelopes, the bills, rip and tear. put them in the shredder, the whole bit. so i was doing that and wig repair. i went for a bike ride. tonight is parent/teacher night at the school. i was thinking of just keeping this outfit on. [ laughter ] hello, teacher.

which, ps, i won't. i was joking. parent/teacher night. a lot of parents are going for that right now, parent/teacher night. do you do this? when i go to parent/teacher night and all of the other parents are around and everything and i always ask the teacher, okay, here's my cell number. pull out your rolodex if you can. let's make an appointment. i like to go in and talk to the teacher one on one. sometimes parent/teacher night, everybody is vying for the attention of the teacher. the woman is president or most popular woman in the school. everybody is vying for attention. so i like to have those little side meetings. anyway, so, how are you, sir? >> i'm fine, wendy. how are you doin'? >> wendy: aren't you stylized today. >> i wanted to comment about the looks, more about the hair. justin timberlake was a little juicy. >> wendy: his hair was juicy. >> more about mimi. i love her on "housewives" but i'm kind of waiting for some new

hair. >> wendy: well, did you not like her in short hair? >> i don't. sometimes she has like a little thing of wave going on on "housewives," and that's all right. but the best part about wearing a wig is being able to change it like a hat. >> wendy: she says it's not a wig. she says it was a weave. >> she does say that? [ laughter ] >> wendy: that's what she says. we love you, mimi. by the way, thank you so much for my secret shot out at the alma awards over the weekend. they are like the oscars. >> it was vh1 divas. >> i got my people confused! >> wendy: shout out to george lopez. they co-hosted the alma awards on abc on friday night, honors latino achievements in television, film, sports, music, walking in and out of the room. didn't quite focus. but i did see some of the highlights. by the way, george lopez is about to have a new talk show on november on tbs. he's very popular in hour house.

we love that "george lopez show" me and my son and we watch that to death. eva longoria, she gives good show. she changed seven times, including her hair, which i love! let's take a look at some of the pictures. here she is in white dress. boom, bam. ow. then eva in the champagne dress. i love that. eva in the off-the-shoulder shimmer. by the way, she was styled by our guest today, robert verde. there she is in the silver sparkly. and her stylist robert verde is here to give us the spring -- this is my favorite right here. look how big her breasts are. [ laughter ] i'm going to ask for you girls sometimes -- you don't want implants. you just want to juj them up a little bit sometimes. i will ask how she did that. you know who else does that look, and she's a flatsy, too and i'm not saying that's a bad thing. paris hilton has two little mosquito bites but sometimes she really does, you know, take it

there with however she does it. "desperate housewives" premieres this sunday. i can't wait. i miss the girls. [ applause ] and i've missed -- i've missed the consistency in my sunday nights. like i do all of my house mom stuff over the weekend and sunday nights at 9:00, that's absolute, you know, "despate housewives" time. hi, boys. >> hi, wendy, how you doin'? >> wendy: how you doin'? >> hopefully you saw drew barrymore last night. she was wearing monique lily. i thout she looked gorgeous. >> wendy: i thought she looked gorgeous. >> i would have loved to see her win the award for "grey garden." she was amazing in it. >> wendy: i bet you she watches this show. doesn't she seem just messy enough. how you doin', drew? next time you're in new york, stop by. before -- thank you, you guys. before we talk about divas, you know, kim kardashian had a wardrobe emergency last night on the way to the emmys.

all right. i wasn't exactly watching, but i follow her on twitter because i follow all of those kardashian girls on the twitter and then they follow us. her zipper broke and she had to be sewn into her dress. kim, your zipper broke when you were here on the "wendy" show and you had to be shown into your skirt. i have to say, the dress fit her like a glove. maybe that's a so in thing. look at that. body down. and her hair is snatched back. can you ever look horrible? i mean, even -- and the answer is no. even when she twits and she's got absolute scrubbed face and she's taking her own twitter picture, she might be home, she still looks beautiful. but i can tell you what, miss thing, you've got to hurry up and do something. because if what i hear that khloe and lamar are married, you've been -- >> engaged. >> wendy: they were in vegas this past weekend, right? >> allegedly they're engaged. >> wendy: here's the thing,

kourtney is pregnant and she hosted the preshow with the emmys. kim was supposed to be there but she was getting the wardrobe malfunction test. there was one point kim was the one with the man in love. now pregnant kourtney is allegedly pressuring scott to put a ring on it and make it work. she's seven months pregnant. she looked really good last night. and khloe is with lamar. did we already show that picture of lamar and kourtney -- khloe? look how beautiful they look. he's leaning into her. the body language. he's leaning into her. she's leaning into him. she's not showing her teeth, which means she's hiding something. i took body language at northeastern university. that is one of my favorite courses. what is not said is often way more powerful than what is being said. okay. so, okay, go, you guys. be happy. look, vh1's diva concert was on

thursday night. it was hosted by paula abdul. she did a dead-on skit of ellen. i thought it was so great. ellen twitted in after, and ellen -- where's the ellen quote. i don't have it. here it is. here it is. "paula, you're hilarious. you left me some big shoes to fill. unfortunately, i don't wear high heels. nothing but love for you, too." yeah. you know who really shocked me as being perhaps my favorite performance at divas? sheryl crow and that miley cyrus and then india and adel. oh, my gosh. all right. so neny, bethany and kim presented an award and neny did the official greeting of"the wendy show." take a look. >> hey, diva lovers, how you doin'! [ applause ] >> wendy: thank you, neny. thank you.

but, i know, that song indy did, i was thinking, what is she going to perform? she doesn't have new music out that i know of, and then she performed one of my favorite songs for her. "i went because i'm a queen." that's an inspirational song. there are certain songs along that vain that are cheering songs for girls. but i thought adel and indy and they put their own spin on each one of their performances. i thought they were great. miley cyrus, you know what, you're nothing but 16 and we all were -- i'm not going to be so hard on her anymore. she was cute. she was doing it. you know what, if i was 16 again and had someplace to wear fishnets and a too fast for my own gaage gown, you know what, d probably wear it, too. [ applause ] you know, especially if my parents are going to co-sign,

right? so "divas ""w"divas" was really. now, who saw mariah on "oprah" on friday? [ applause ] i love the two guys who won the trip to new york, and they were just throwing themselves on the stage. and ps, mariah, i noticed all of the new extra. i like it. i like it. was i the only one that noticed even in black, mariah looked heavier than usual? she's voluptuous, gorgeous. i liked the old hair. that was the first hair she was wearing when she first came to us as a famous person. i thought that she looked great. looks like she's -- mariah, it looks like you're getting a lot of work done to your face, though? what is that? what do you have going? i know. but i'm just saying, is this part of the weight down here or is this fat transfer or -- just asking. but i thought you looked great. and i like the cat suit.

then again, that's the kind of girl i am. all of my girlfriends said it's time for you to grow up and mature. i say keep it young. keep it kitty. we like it like that. and apparently so does nick, who so who cares! what did i just see, brendan? did i see a two-minute mark, 30-second mark. it's time to go to commercials. we have another round of "hot topics." more juicy "hot topics" up next.

[ laughter ] dirty. look, head-to-toe dirtiness. yeah. how you doin'? we will see you tonight on "dancing with the stars." everett brown with "dancing with the stars," she was here friday on the couch chatting with us

about a blind date. i didn't know she meant right after the show but take a look. do you cast your line? do you date? you seem to be in circles of a lot of cool people. >> you know, i'm starting to date, this is awesome. this thing tonight i'm a little nervous about. i'm just going to government it's a blind date. "essence" set it up. >> wendy: "essence" magazine? >> yeah. they went through their bachelors for tonight. >> wendy: we have her on the phone. hey, girl. >> hey, wechndy! >> wendy: i'm glad you called. what did you wear on the date? i wore what i wore on your show. i went from the show to the date. and wendy, you know how i was proud of my heels? i tripped when i saw him. literally fell into his arm. he thought it was romantic. i thought it was a doofus. but it happened. >> wendy: i like it. it immediately leveled the playing field. this big actress. what does he do for a living? what does he do? >> he's a poet and he's a

professor. >> wendy: ooh, nice. >> i know, he's a really nice guy. >> wendy: i take it since you went right after the show you had on your tv makeup, still? >> i did. i wore my tv makeup. i went in fully beefed to this date. >> wendy: damn. where did you guys go? >> you know, this cute little steak house that was right around the corner from where the "essence" ofoffice is. i can't the name of it but they had really good sliders. wendy, i hadn't eaten all day so i literally inhaled in like three sliders and a crabcake in like two seconds. >> wendy: what did he have? >> he had like tuna tartar. he's really fancy and i'm not. he had tuna tartar and i inhaled little burgers. i was so embarrassed. >> wendy: tuna tartar. are you going to get a second date? what was it like? >> he was really nice and it was just great to not be invisible. because you know as a curvy girl sometimes in l.a., you feel invisible. but he actually liked my curves and was really complimentary. so if i come back to new york, i'm definitely going to see him

again. >> wendy: oh! so where are you now? >> i'm in l.a. on the set of "community," and she just called me for rehearsal. i said i got to talk to wendy. you all got to wait a minute. >> wendy: yes! tell joel i said, how you doin'? >> i will do that. >> wendy: and good look with all of the dating. >> thank you. ly keep yi will keep you postedw things are going for me. >> wendy: next time a sexier outfit. that was good for daytime talk. not a date. >> i got to show a little skin? >> wendy: just a little something. >> i will give a little ankle next time. >> wendy: take care. everybody, check her out in "community" thursday nights at 9:30 on nbc. which pregnant celebrity refuses to give up wearing her six-inch heels? you'll find out in one more "hot topic" coming up next, melissa rivers!
