What

is

Wendy Williams

thinking

? Speaking of

Beyoncé

's self-directed autobio-pic on HBO, WW said: "I'm going to watch her upcoming documentary because fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning, so I'll be able to understand what she says. You know Beyoncé can't talk. She sounds like she has a fifth-grade education."

What?

Wrong. Wendy got booed. Good.

Advent at Ephesus

, by the

Benedictine Nuns of St. Mary, Queen of Apostles

, sits atop Billboard's classical-albums list!!

Heady stuff for ladies who seldom set foot off their farmland enclave in northwest Missouri and use an ancient Cistercian system of sign language for much of their communication. The godly sisters are in the top 5 of both Barnes&Noble.com and Amazon.com rankings, ahead of such as

Taylor Swift

,

One Direction

,

Katy Perry

, and

Alicia Keys

. Haha.
