I know y’all wanted me to recap this show but I’m not sure why y’all think it will be such a big deal. Do you think Iyanla will try to fix Amber Rose’s life? I long, long time ago when Iyanla first started to appear on Oprah I thought she was wise and added her book, In The Meantime to my already extensive self-help book section of my library. I still think that is a fantastic name for a book about dealing with those times in life that seem to be, well, “mean.” Now that I’m a lot older and a bit wiser, I’m not that jazzed by Iyanla anymore. Just got the picture above up. Is Amber going to wear shades the whole interview? I think that would be a first.
REMEMBER WHEN IYANLA TRIED (AND FAILED) TO FIX SHEREE WHITFIELD’S LIFE?
Okay let’s do this! Wait! Did Iyanla just say she was a criminal defense attorney. Iyanla basically says (the truth) that Teresa doesn’t have it that hard at Camp Cupcake.
Amber is apparently going to wear sunglasses to whole show. Thus far Andy has not dared to mention it. Either he asked or was told the deal off camera, or he’s once again failing to ask the obvious question. Or most likely he is waiting for us to do it. Let me go Tweet.
Holy crap the bartender is Eddie Jackson who I have never heard of and apparently he is a former football player for the Panthers who is now a chef. My life has improved drastically for having laid eyes on him. If the world were to end tomorrow leaving behind only me Eddie and Banjo, I’d be really good with that. Sorry everyone else in the world. But look at him and you will understand.
They have a cute game called Fix My Wife. They have a quick montage which is funny. Then he asks Iyanla how she would react in certain relationship situation that housewives have had.
- If someone in the relationship was allegedly faking a serious illness? I’d pack.
- If one spouse was going to jail? That depends on the nature of their relationship.
- If the husband has an affair? It depends on the wife. I personally don’t play that.
- If the daughter doesn’t approve of her mother is dating? That is none of her business.
- If the children openly curse in front of their parents? Soap in the mouth. (RUN KJ RUN!)
Amber Rose plays Plead the Fifth
- Rank these Kardasian /Jenners from least…? Amber interrupts to plead the fifth before the question is even out.
- Amber posted on Instagram that every female artist she asked to attend her slutwalk wanted $30k-40K to appear. Name one. She doesn’t want to name names but, “It was like five of them.” I don’t know why I expected Amber to be well-spoken. But, um…noe. Then she jumps in to say it’s a non-profit organization. Um, I am not sure I believe that she registered her Slutwalk as a charity.
- As we know, Kayne West… I am not talking about Kanye.
Andy is pissed and says that Amber just had the worst Plead the Fifth ever. She didn’t answer a single question!
Questions for Iyanla
Do you follow up with the people you fix on the show? Iyanla says that there are only two she does not follow up with . They are DMX and Sheree because they were the only two that were unfixable on the show. Iyanla says she promised DMX that she wouldn’t and Sheree was not receptive. Amber says DMX is her favorite rapper and Iyanla says, DMX is not well. He’s just not well.
Would you try to work with Sheree again or do you believe she’s unfixable? Iyanla says she doesn’t believe she is unfixable but she doesn’t want to engage in the process again. You can tell Iyanla wants to get off the subject of Sheree as one of two shows that were unsuccessful in helping the person.
How many times during the 11 years you and Oprah weren’t talking did you almost call or write her a letter? Iyanla says she did write her letters and send her birthday cards. It wasn’t that they weren’t speaking at all, they just never talked about what happened.
How could you help Nene Leakes not be so defensive and take ownership for her wrongdoings? (I had to paraphrase the question because the caller rambled) Iyanla is all like, wait what? Is she asking me about Nene Leakes? I haven’t got a clue! I ain’t never had a conversation with Nene Leakes!
Andy asks if she knows about Amber’s slutwalk. Amber explains it. Iyanla says she understands the concept but she is from the generation where calling a woman a slut is not acceptable in any form. She says it will take women of her generations some time to be able to embrace the whole slutwalk concept. I’m thinking there is probably not enough time on earth remaining for that to happen.
Questions for Amber
What can you tell us about Blac Chyna and Future? (News today was that Blac Chyna got a large tattoo that says future on her hand today) Amber smiles and says “that’s BFF confidentiality.” Steam is starting to come from Andy’s head. He says, we’re going to take a break and try to find some stuff that Amber can talk about after the break.
After the break, Andy says “lots of people” want to see her without her sunglasses just for a second and she says “I’m drunk, sorry” Andy lets out a heavy and says, “okay she doesn’t want to do that” and I can tell that Amber may just be on the way to overthrowing Scott Baio as his least favorite guest.
Amber says, am I the worst guest on this show ever? Andy sternly quips back. “You’re in the running!”
What is one thing we can do to get a butt like yours? She says that’s really sweet…then, um, um, um I guess squats. I do a lot of squats. Wow she’s a fascinating creature!
Are you #TeamNikki or #TeamMiley ? I love them both. Girl Power! Miley’s mom managed her for a bit. She thinks the beef at the VMAs was real.
Andy plays a game that involves balancing things on Amber butt and Iyanla has to guess if it will. Neither Amber or Iyanla want to play the game but at least Amber stands up to put her giant ass in Andy’s general direction. They manage to get through three items and it was ridiculous.
This was the longest WWHL in the history of the world. The things I do for you people.
Has Amber Rose ever seen the show? I’m not sure what she expected. She is promoting a book and did nothing to promote interest in it. I’m guessing her publicist and publisher were not pleased. What a snooze!
wait, she wrote a book? is it full of chapter titles and blank pages cuz she wouldn’t talk about a damn thing tonight! Sure, I’ll run right out and buy that!
I’m amused by Amber. Anyone who pisses off Andy is okay by me.
She just had a bad experience with GQ, they basically didn’t print anything except stuff about Kanye and called her Wiz’s baby momma and not his ex-wife. The interview was supposed to be about her book and what she is doing. I’m sure her publicist booked her thinking she wouldn’t have to spend the whole time talking about the Kardashians and Kanye. I wouldn’t have answered his stupid questions either. Why not ask about signing with Ford models or something else. She has plenty other interesting things to say. He didn’t ask Kim about her cheating with Kanye when Amber was still with him. They always have negative things to say about her, she said she doesn’t want to talk about them and she has moved on.
I don’t know who she is. I googled her but still can’t figure out what she does or if she is on a show or something?
Ummm the game of balancing something on her ass is super inappropriate. If she wants to do that on her own time fine, but you don’t as a man create a game out of a womans body parts.
I agree completely, this was not classy or funny.
So true, that was an insensitive and creepy game. I don’t care how many naked pics of her own ass she’s posted and I’m surprised she went along. He was basically making her pantomime that stupid Kim cover pic, that was a rip off a very racist photo of many years ago.
I would not answer questions about x lovers, their wife’s family, and x friends either. All very shady questions, more so than usual. It was more like an Andy ambush of Amber, no, I am not her fan either. Black men have been wearing shades indoors for years, some of them would not remove them at all or for a second only on WWHL.
I think a lot of Andy’s guests are boring. Kate Hudson and Zooey Deschanel almost maxed the snooze meter recently. Andy needs a new format, schstic is old.
But that is ALL Amber really has to talk about. That is ALL she is in the news about is her ex lovers. She also gotten into twitter spats with the the Kardashian clan…
Amber sucked.
She’s also doing a bunch of slut walks where she cries about how her ex boyfriends treat her.
It is obvious she wants to be famous and extend her 15 minutes… Part of being a SUCCESSFUL media whore is playing ball with the media and actually answering their questions so you can get invited back on their shows.
Amber is obviously dumb and her ass is fake. You don’t get an ass like that from “squats.”
Amber Rose has NEVER talked about her exes beyond the capacity of wanting to distance herself from them.
And her slut walk had nothing to do with them. I was just starting to type out a nice succient explanation of a slut walk for you, but you have access to a search engine just like anyone else – go educate yourself, because you’re really fucking ignorant.
I had no idea who she was until I stumbled upon her slut walk in LA about a month ago. She’s famous for being famous just like a lot of people in this era; however, she’s actually using her platform for some semblance of change by being a catalyst for discourse on feminism to a demographic that would otherwise probably not know, or care.
Do I think she’s truly educated on feminist rhetoric? Probably not. But she’s still acting as a discussion point for Millennial girls whose every day lives are directly formed and benefited from the first ways of feminism, yet don’t care to aknowledge or learn about it.
She has a sunglass company. I’m sure she was suppossed to be allowed to talk about it. She always wears shades. F**k Andy!
Phaedra and Coco played the same game….
I was soon disappointed. Iyanla deserved someone so much better as a couple guest! (Actually, her friend and fellow speaker at the Life You Want Tour wouldn’t be apposed to a cocktail and has written a new book. Elizabeth Gilbert.
I think this is either an instance of Andy not doing his homework, or going out of his way to be even more of Satans Summers Eve than usual. I’m leaning towards the latter.
I think it was an interview with Larry King – but Amber Rose pretty much covered all of these topics – with someone who actually has the tact of a professional interviewer.
She said tabloids are constantly pitting her against the kardasians, stating she was cool with them but keeps her distance for that reason. Could you imagine how damaging it would for her to literally numerically list them – as if it’s not bad enough to be asked to rank a family of human beings.
The same pretty much applies to the second question. Her career and financial opportunities would literally be jeopardized by revealing something like that. She’s pretty much based in social media – could you imagine the unadultered hatred she would receive from the tween mobs of frothing super fans? Keri Hilsons career was ruined because of the relentless assault of crazed beyonce fans.
And then by that point she’s pretty much forced to participate in the objectification of her body – literally providing entertainmen by placing miscellaneous objects on her ass?
Fuck you Andy. Stick to asking people how many people they’ve made out with then clapping in retarded glee like a fucking twelve year old. I honestly think he’s a sociopath at this point.
There was a whole season of Eddie on this year as he won the next food network star. He hosts BBQ Blitz weekly that I don’t like because he is not cooking. The recap was great, I will delete from my DVR since amber didn’t say much.
Andy’s latest instagram photo lets you know he was PISSED after last nights show. He’s all frowned up in the photo and his caption says “This was my mood after last nights #WWHL”
Amber has been known to give good talk about Wiz, Kanye, and her beef with the Kardashians. It was only a few months ago she slut shamed Kim on Twiter then started promoting a slut walk to protest against slut shaming and she publicly cried and forgave Wiz and Kanye for the mean things they said about her. Now a couple of weeks later she doesn’t want to talk about it. Girl Bye!
Still so confused who Amber is? I googled again and came back here. She was a stripper at 15 and dated Kanye West then had a baby with a rapper? I never heard of the rapper? I feel so old right now lol. Im not that old lol
She was married to Wiz. She was with Kanye for years before he went nuts. He cheated on her with Kim.
this episode was probably the worst wwhl i have ever seen……neither guest added very much to the show and amber rose was a dud. andy should have asked the guest bartender to sit in the chair. he would have been so much more interesting!
TT… Eddie Jackson just won Food Networks Next Food Netwirk Star completion. He’s got his own show now. Not only is he lovely to look at (and can cook) he came off as a really nice, genuine guy. Do people still say….. Dreamy? ?
Amber = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I don’t believe she would have anything interesting to say drunk or sober. Dumb as a box of rocks, but has the great talent of being pretty with a big ass. . .a very popular profession these days.
Iyanla, who usually does have something interesting to say, was definitely not engaged. I don’t think WWHL is her venue. I’m not sure either one of them have ever seen WWHL. I am also not loving Iyanla’s hairdo. The color nor cut are doing her any favors.
Iyanla is a very strong intelligent, confident, educated woman. I think she was a bit embarrassed to be on the show with Amber Rose. Iyanla has worked all her life to get where she is, Amber had a baby by a rich rapper to get where she is. Amber did say she wouldn’t take off her glasses due to the fact she was drunk. Maybe that is why she was so uncooperative on the show. Can’t blame Andy.
Worst guest ever.
at some point Andy needed to just ignore her and simply interact with Iyanla. if a guest is going to be a cu– satchel, ignore them.
that being said, Scott Baio is still worst because of the after show tweets and social media coming from he and his wife.
