I’ve been missing Wendy Williams like crazy since she abandoned her radio gig for a shot at TV stardom (Note to Wendy: I don’t like you as much on TV as I do on the radio).  My work day is a lot more boring without the shock jock’s cackling and a steady stream of “How you doin’s” into my headphones, and with Wendy gone I’d pretty much resigned to having ho-hum, radio-free afternoons.

Then again, I sincerely apologize for …read more

Overall, 2008 was a good year.  I had my dream wedding and didn’t spend a fortune (read my budget bride story for the New York Daily News), honeymooned in the Bahamas, and visited Italy, Bermuda, and Las Vegas (travel always makes me happy).  Personal highlights aside, 2008 was also a great year for style and pop culture.  Here, I recap my favorite Hot Mama moments:
