Wendy Williams should regain control of her own life before the new year … according to her powerhouse lawyer Joe Tacopina.

Tacopina spoke to “Nightline” about his client’s guardianship, saying, “The plan is this … There are guardianship attorneys … and we’re watching and waiting, and they’ve assured Wendy by year’s end she’ll be out of guardianship.”

The legendary talk show host has been in a highly restrictive guardianship for more than 3 years, despite the latest neurologist testing saying she doesn’t have frontotemporal dementia — the medical condition is what a judge used to justify the guardianship after Wendy’s guardian claimed Wendy was suffering from dementia.

Last month, we reported that in light of the new medical confirmation … if the judge refuses to end the guardianship, Tacopina will then demand a jury trial and ask jurors to free Wendy.

In a clip from his “Nightline” interview, Tacopina told Byron Pitts, “You and I can go take a walk downstairs right now … we’ll find 5 people in an hour who will belong more in a guardianship program than Wendy Williams.”

India Love is clearly the hostess with the damn mostest — and when you hand her the keys to lead the “TMZ Brunch Tour,” you just know things are gonna get wild … and this weekend was Exhibit A!

Check out the clip — straight after the Streamer Awards, India went all in hyping up the brunch crowd, and she led by example … we’re talking twerking, singing, and even working the bus rails like a full-on stripper pole.

The party didn’t stop there — the crew rolled through three brand new hotspots: Beaches WeHo where we got mimosas and a drag show, The Saddle Ranch where we got watermelon gummy shots, and the grand finale was at Marathon Burger where everyone was treated like family — especially by Blacc Sam, who was grilling free burgers and fries for everyone.

On the latest episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian accused Howard Stern of mocking her Paris heist attack as a made-up joke … but Howard denies her claims, and he’s clapping back with receipts.

According to clips Howard dug up from when the horrific event first made headlines in 2016, what he actually said was, “If this woman was robbed at gunpoint by a bunch of dudes and they threw her in a bathtub and tied her up — or whatever they did — I mean, that is frightening. If it is a farce, then really they should go to jail for that.”

In the clip, Howard’s co-host Robin Quivers interjects, “I don’t think it is,” and Howard agrees, “I don’t either.”

After playing the comments, Howard characterized them as “a fair assessment.” Howard argued he and Robin simply reported on what people were saying, and presented their own belief the robbery was real.

But Howard admitted he’s no angel … “I have said so many awful things in my career, you don’t need to make up stuff.”
