From Hollywood Boulevard, it’s The WOW Report for Radio Andy on SiriusXM! That’s right WOWers, World of Wonder Co-Founder Fenton Bailey, Executive VP of Development Tom Campbell, and WOW Report Editor James St. James have collaborated with reality TV guru and friend of WOW, Andy Cohen, on a weekly Top Ten Countdown of the things from the past week that make us go…WOW!
It’s a pop-culture obsessed hour complete with colorful diatribes, opposing opinions, and a dissection-like discussion that will make your drive home from work more fabulous!
We premiere TODAY at 4PM EST on SiriusXM, and it will play again at 4PM PST (7PM EST). You can also catch it on the SiriusXM app!
With no further adou, here’s our Top Ten of the things that made us go WOW this week:
10) DRAG RACE HANGOVER
From RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Season 8 finale, to RuPaul’s DragCon 2016 last week, we’re hanging our wigs up and taking extra aspirin today because we’re experiencing a drag race hangover, darlings!
Firstly, we must bow down to Season 8 winner, Bob The Drag Queen:
Whom also dropped the catchiest of club bangers:
But let’s give it up to the Top 3 – whom ALL three (shout out to Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls!) were super talented, creative superstars!
Drag Con 2016 was rich, vibrant, and well, life changing really!
Check out these (ugly-cry-inducing) videos from one of our sponsors this year, Reddit:
9) WHO WANTS TO BE KELLY RIPA’S CO-HOST?
It was the break-up story heard around America when Michael Strahan did-he-or-did-he-not-abandon daytime kween Kelly Ripa on the spot this past month. Politics aside, we took a stab at a few unlikely but OMG-we’re-so-obsessed-with-idea-of-them replacement co-hosts.
Here’s a few we hope will fill out the application:
Our very own (and lovable) Nicole Richie from Candidly Nicole.
Or:
Leslie Jones (duh!).
8) IS AMERICA READY FOR EUROVISION?
Would you believe us if we told you the Eurovision Song Contest birthed Abba’s “Waterloo” or Olivia Newton-John’s “Long Live Love” back in the seventies?! Well it’s true! And the reason Eurovision Song 2016 Contest is still SO iconic today is because it was available for the first time in the states this past week on Logo TV. [Pictured above is Ukraine’s Jamala who took home the gold in this year’s competition. Come through, Jamala!]

7) IT’S RAINING…SWEATERS ON WEATHER GIRLS?!
Apparently, you’ll need to shantay your little black dresses away, squirrel friends. In the middle of her morning weather update, Liberté Chan – a KTLA meteorologist (and secret stunt queen) – was asked to put her sweater back on while donning a spaghetti strap sequins frock. Was the eleganza TOO much for daytime?! If we start censoring our weather girls, what will we start censoring next?!

6) ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: REMAKE OR MISTAKE?
FOX released the trailer for the highly anticipated remake of Rocky Horror Picture Show starring Laverne Cox as the insatiable Dr. Frank-n-furter and it’s sickening with a capital “S.”
Check it out for yourself:
5) SUSAN SARANDON DOES PORN
Speaking of Rocky Horror Picture Show, Susan Sarandon has been starring in somewhat of her own rocky horror picture show in the headlines -not just this past week – but this past month, hennies.
Like the grand finale of Thelma and Louise, her words about Trump and Woody Allen drove some critics’ convertibles over the edge. But her latest statement about directing porn really had us floating in our thoughts (like Witches of Eastwick!). What are your thoughts’ WOWers on feminist porn?!

4) DOES MARIAH HAVE THE WHOLE WORLD IN HER HAND?
We still haven’t gotten over her 2002 MTV Cribs episode…
OR her endless moments on QVC:
So when word spread that the Emancipation of Mimi herself would star in her very own eight part docu-series for E!, we knew we would become, well – I think this Mariah Carey song sums it up:
3) ARE YOU LIVING FOR MADONNA’S PRINCE LOVE?
Madonna is slated to honor the OG of purple rain, Prince at this year’s Billboard Music Awards. Some people are living for love about it and others are trying to justify her love and whether or not she was the right pick.
We love the Queen of Pop but here’s a couple other purple pop tresses that we think could fit the bills:
What do you WOWers think?!
2) FRONT ROW AT FORMATION
OK WOWers let’s get information for number two! Fenton and Jake both attended the Lemonade-infused stadium concert (and didn’t know it!) and we can’t stop gushing about how incredible the immaculate Queen B show was. Hear the entire detailed account (including Fenton’s family “taking their asses to Red Lobster!”) and check out how front row Fenton REALLY was:
1) ?????????
What could top Beyonce, Mariah, and Madonna?! You’ll have to FIND OUT at 4:00PM EST and again at 4:00 PST (7 PM EST) on SiriusXM!
Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to give your ears the gift of THE WOW REPORT on Radio Andy SiriusXM EVERY Friday. *Next Friday, Sirius is pre-empting all regular programming due to the Memorial Day weekend.*
And remember, do something this weekend that makes YOU go WOW!!!
