Today on "The Wendy Williams Show," the brassy host (and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant) got an exclusive TV interview with Aretha Franklin -- the first since her reported health issues. (There was some speculation she had cancer, but that doesn't seem to be true.)

If you missed the interview, you can see the re-run tonight on BET at midnight. Or you can watch here. Or here.

But first this: in part 2 of the interview airing Thursday, Miss Aretha gets in a little dig at Halle Berry. Franklin had openly stated that she wanted Berry to play her in her biopic. Berry declined. Wendy asks her about that:

There's no agency that monitors the ingredients of cosmetics, and there's no law that says cosmetic companies have to disclose all their ingredients.

Kinda scary when you think about it.

With that in mind, you might find "Not So Sexy," a report on perfumes from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the Environmental Working Group interesting.
