Robin Givens: Queen Of Media
A few weeks ago urban gossip queen Wendy Williams alluded that the actress who would be portraying her in the movie Queen Of Media, would be someone huge- whom we all knew. I spent but a brief moment wondering who it could be, but yesterday Wendy let the cat outta the bag when she told the world, live on her show, that actress Robin Givens would be bringing her larger than life persona to the big screen. I know many people may find the casting a bit off as Robin and Wendy look nothing alike. Neither did Tina Turner and Angela Bassett, but no one would argue that Angela played Tina to perfection. I believe Robin will do the same for Wendy. After all, Wendy’s look can easily achieved, it is her personality that Robin will really have to capture and I think the sista has the acting chops to pull it off.
Queen Of Media opens in early 2007 and with Robin added to cast, I think I might check it out.

How much talent does it take to play Wendy? Even Beyonce could pull that role off.
Josie said,
Robin’s career must really be on the ropes to appear in such a low budget movie. :confused:

Okay, this is one I’d have to see to believe because I don’t think Robin Givens could be that offensive on screen. (Sure I was able to hate her in Boomerang but part of that was because I was secretly wishing I looked that dang good while being such a cold hearted witch.)

So there giving Wendy Williams a Documentry. That’s big for Wendy!!! This movie should be good, cause Wendy always got something going on!!! LOL to her!

I have to say good for Wendy and her camp.
You cannot knock the hustle.
But Robin playing Wendy in film is like Jada Pinkett Smith play Oprah Winfrey…huh…
It will be interesting to see if this can be pulled off.

This should be very interesting.

I could see Vivica Fox or Tamala Jones playing Wendy but Robin? We’ll like I said this should be very interesting.

Def. Vivica Fox!!!
Angeline said,
They should’ve gotten RuPaul to play the part. I’m serious. He looks like her. Robin Givens looks too short and scrawny to play Wendy. I can’t see her acting ghetto like Wendy.
Debra said,
Kym Whitley would have been the perfect choice looks wise. I don’t know if she can really act though.
MrsHarris said,
idk about this….im gonna have to rent it when it hits blockbuster.
Heather said,
I think Robin can pull it off…she’s a talented actress and if the costume/hair/make-up are done right, she can probably channel Wendy accurately…
And I agree, Angela Bassett looked NOTHING like Tina Turner in WLGTDWI….but she tore up that performance!!! And I know Robin is no Angela, but still, I think it can be done….

I AM A 36, BEEN A BIG FAN OF WENDY SINCE SHE WAS ON THE OTHER RADIO STATION’S. ROBIN PLAYING WENDY, I’M SORRY BUT THAT IS SUCH A BIG TURN OFF TO ME. I CAN’T SEE ME GOING TO THE MOVIES AND PAYING TO SEE ROBIN GIVINS IN A LEADING ROLE. SHE DON’T SEEM NOTHING LIKE THE WENDY TYPE AT ALL. NOW VIVICA FOX I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD LOOK. BUT IF NOT, I GUESS THIS IS ONE DVD I’LL BE BUYING OUT THE HOOD. LIKE VIVICA CAN SAY “YOU CAN PUT THAT WHERE…BACK THERE”…LMAO…LOVE U WENDY.

wendy will not have many ticket sales with Robin Givens in the lead role. Rethink this decision before it’s a flop.
Lady J said,
Who in the world is Wendy Williams and why is she getting a movie about her so called life? She ain’t no celebrity…she is a hater!!! Hell anybody can play her besides Robin Givens…what about the dog in “Big Momma’s House?” I sure he looks more like her!!!!!
Kim said,
I agree that Robin Givens must be hard up, especially since they took the role from a very talented up and coming actress simply because Robin was better known. Besides the original actress cast for Wendy looks somewhat closer to Wendy, of course in a softer more feminine type of way!!Smile! I am very disappointed.
JANE JONES said,
WENDY WILLIAMS SHOULD HAVE AN APE PLAY HER BECAUSE THAT WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE. IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH TALENT TO ACT LIKE SOME IGNORANT GHETTO BROAD. YEAH I THINK ROBIN IS IN WAY OVER HER HEAD.
Qadiriyyah said,
Wendy is a train wreck…I just read an article on Robin in Essence and as she begins to speak out about formerly being known as “the most hated woman in the world”–why the hell would she want to play the most hated woman in radio? I don’t see it being a great career move…

I press said,
You would have to use some extreme makeup, or hit her in the face with a bag of nickels… LOL. I would have to agree with the person who said RuPaul… or even ‘Wanda’ (Jaime Foxx’s character on In Living Color), and THAT’S giving Wendy some credit.
:cool:
Seretta said,
The best two choices to play her should be:
Dennis Rodman or Ru Paul
Mai P. said,
I really don’t means any disrespect but Wendy Williams is one very ignorant, loud, obnoxious female. She resembles the camel that used to be on the cigarette pack and also like Sherry Lewis’s puppet, “Lambchops”. Robin Givens is too small to play her…RuPaul would indeed be more like Ms. Williams in stature and he’d have to be made up to look abit uglier to resemble her. hahahahahaha
Braidedgirl said,
Why should there be a film made about Wendy Williams?? She’s not an interesting or credible figure in the media. In fact I hate Wendy Williams!!! Sometimes I’d like to call in to her show and say “Kiss all this

:cool: My goodness… I see there is not a shortage for HATERS
is there. Intelligent people it’s called “Acting” 
and in that respect there is hair 
and makeup :mrgreen: and wardrobe. 
OK, we all have our favorits as far as entertainers; 
Some who can perform there uknowwhats off and some not :wink: so much. Robin will give it her all 
I’m sure of that. She wouldn’t have sign on 
to play the role if not. People, come on… Let’s stop all the hate 
and name calling please! We all have our flaws in looks and personality :cry: although few will admit to it! stop calling the kettle black when you a pot and just as burn 
up. When the film is done and ready for release and you support it’s opening, at that time judge it :dance: and comment at that time you have that right; You would have paid out you hard earned paper! Those who dont and wait until dvd, rentals, etc. make your comments at that time. Simple. Now stop all the hate and name calling and put that WHERE…BACK THERE…oh, and HOW YOU DOOOOING…? :grin:
Candace said,
I think this woman is offensive on so many levels and needs to take stock in what comes out of her mouth. My suggestion, honey, change the hair, the makeup you’re using and get some vaneers. You truly are not attractive enough to talk as much smack as you do.
rizzique said,
ok what kind of assine decision is this?? but you know i would expect this from Wendy…..she’d be better off getting Tyra to play her at least their close in skin tone :dance1: and height…but you know if i really wanted to be an ***……..i’d suggest Micheal
Jackson…don’t they know the same plastic surgeons?
