Philly Pride organizers have confirmed that talk-show host, radio personality and author Wendy Williams will headline this year’s PrideDay on June 10 at Penn’s Landing.
Williams, who proclaims herself the “Queen of All Media,” is best known for her syndicated talk show “The Wendy Williams Show” and her stints as a radio DJ, where her outspoken nature and willingness to dish celebrity dirt has put her in the center of all kinds of controversy and at odds with numerous celebrities.
Fran Price, executive director of Philly Pride Presents, said Williams will speak at Philly Pride.
“Of course she’ll talk about hot topics, but then she’s going to answer some questions that people will ask her,” Price said. “So we’re going to ask people to send in questions for her in advance.”
Price said Philly Pride will announce the full line-up of performers and honorees for this year’s festival in the next few weeks.
The Philly Pride Festival and Parade will take place noon-6 p.m. June 10 at Penn’s Landing, 201 S. Columbus Blvd. For more information, visit www.phillypride.org.
