Yes, Wendy Williams, talk show diva, will be on Broadway and it won't be just to SEE a play. She is going to BE IN a play!

I know, that's what I said! "What is she gonna do in a Broadway play?"

Wendy is scheduled to take on the role of Mama Morton in the musical Chicago! If you remember the movie Chicago, this is the role that Queen Latifah played. I didn't even know that she oould sing. I guess she can though, she got the role.

Wendy Williams makes her debut on Broadway in June this year and the show will run thru August.

In an interview with ESSENCE.com, Tracey Edmonds, ex-wife of Babyface, chatted about her biggest film projects and her new YouTube channel, Alright TV.

ESSENCE.com: Congrats on the launch of Alright TV. What was your motivation in creating this channel?

Tracey Edmonds: A year and a half ago I started tweeting something inspirational every morning to keep people going. I got so many tweets back and had no idea how much it helped others. I realized people were really hungry to be uplifted and inspired. I had been working on a business plan for a cable network of inspirational programming and YouTube was the perfect partnership. We offer high entertainment value alongside a message, without beating people over the head.

ESSENCE.com: And you definitely are bringing the entertainment with Issa Rae and more on the network.

Tracey Edmonds: I love Issa Rae! We are doing a choir series with her to take a fun look at everything that happens in a church choir including relationships and choir competitions. Ever Sunday we also live stream church services from Bishop T.D. Jakes and many others. This network is more modern and progressive than traditional gospel networks. We may surprise people. We have a dating web series for singles. Ms. Right stars DeRay Davis and pokes fun at the prototypes men deal with when dating. Mr. Right features Kali Hawk, as a woman searching for love. Our message is whatever you are going through, you are not alone. If you haven’t met Mr. Right yet, that’s ok. Stay optimistic because one day you will.

I know I said that I wasn't going to watch American Idol, but... So, I just tape it now and fast forward through it. There are 6 left in the competition and in my opinion Candice Glover is going to win it all. Check out one of her performances this week.

I had the chance to fly out to LA for a musical showcase where I saw Tasha Cobbs, Smokie Norful, Kierra Sheard and Tye Tribbett perform new music.

Check out some new stuff from Kierra. What do you think about it?
