I had a ball commentating on twitter last night about the BET Awards show. It was so fun chatting with everyone and talking about everything from the light skinned dudes trying to make a come back,Prince not aging a bit, Chris Brown meltdown on stage, Nicki Minaj epic fail of vintage bridal look or Jada Pinkett Smith’s legs being the best in the building! It was pure dee entertainment last night!

Queen Latifah was the host and she did a fab job! I loved her energy and I had the pleasure of meeting her and she was too fun! I do not have a favorite look this time around, I’m a lil disappointed in a lot of the ladies looks.I know these chics have a bit more cash in their savings than me but maybe not I just didn’t understand what they were trying to do lol. The shoes were great but I just was not impressed with any of their looks. Let’s get started!

Vivica Fox looked ok

Ashanti was overdressed, it’s not the Oscars

Chilli looks like she just hopped off the plane and couldn’t change in time.

I didn’t feel like looking up her name but no mam!

Who let this chic in from, The Game with babies around? smh

Tatyana Ali I’m bored to pieces!

I’m thumbing threw my magazine right about now! Yawn!

Fergie what are you doing?

Taraji I’m straddling the fence.

Ciara looks very masculine as usual.

I loove pink and I still don’t like this dress.

Brandy I can’t!

Ms. Keri baby looks decent

Niecy Nash is very basic, blah!

All that money and thats what she came looking like? I’m confused!

Nia looks nice in her Gucci dress. Thank You Nia!

Bride of Chucky lol

TalkingWithTami: How did you land your part on Army Wives?

I normally read scripts and my agent sends me things all the time. When I heard about Army Wives, at first I thought it was corny lol. Once I got the script in my hands though, I fell in love with it and the character. I absolutely loved it! They had me at the first page! I went in and read the part and got the job.

TalkingWithTami: How did you prepare for your role as Lt. Col. Joan Burton?

Well first off, its extremely hard to find an African American Lieutenant lol. I did alot of research on army posts and would speak to lieutenant colonels. I  shadowed some of them at Fort Brag. I learned how they moved through their day to day lives. It was very informative.

TalkingWithTami: How was it working with Steven Speilberg? Amazing what can I say lol. We worked together on a show called, High Incident, it was only for one season. He is such an icon. He includes everyone in his projects. I found him to be very generous,kind. When he made Jurassic Park III he invited me down to the set at Universal Studios. He spotted me out of the crowd and said, “hey Wendy come on over here and I sat right next to him!

TalkingWithTami: When did you know acting was your ticket?

I guess I would have to say, when I went to college. I attended Howard University and my degree is in Theatre.  I was in college at the same time with Taraji P. Henson,Anthony Anderson,Carl Payne,Isaiah Washington,Wendy Racquel Robinson, Marlon Wayans.  The Alumni list is great. I learned so much going to a black college. The networking was fabulous.

TalkingWithTami: Can you tell us some hobbies of yours?

I love to be outdoors, minus the mosquitos lol. I love to hike! I also love to read, I know that sounds boring but I do. I am a self help book lover! I am currently reading about how to live Gluten Free.

Soul Train Awards 09

Everyone and their mama was on board the Soul Train Awards last night, held at the Georgia World Congress Center. I’m going to be honest and say I was a lil annoyed by alot of things I saw happen,but thats a whole other post. I will just let you view the pictures and I’m going to keep it moving. I try to write fun and positive posts but like I hear all the time,if you dont have anything nice to say,then dont say nothing at all. lol

Hosts Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson

Everyone looked nice but I’m so glad I didnt have to fly out to Los Angeles (where it’s usually held) to see the same people walking around Atlanta. The only people that I’ve never met was Chaka Khan,Ray J and Robin Thicke, all very pleasant. I loved Chaka Khan’s big hair. I also saw Fantasia and she had on the baddest shoes on the carpet!

Reality Star/Singer Ray J

They wisked her off the carpet so fast,I couldnt get a pic of them but they were hott to death! Celebs that were there, I’ve interviewed a Gazallion times, so no need in me pulling out the camera, I just took pics. As you see my pics aren’t that great because the carpet was jammed packed and some of the media outlets that were there, were EXTREMELY RUDE and alot of the staff and security were too!

Robin Thicke

Enjoy the pics I’m over it!
