The Candi & Randy Show: Vanessa Williams & Helen Williams

Listen to internet radio with CandiXRandy on Blog Talk Radio.

Catch Vanessa Williams and her mother Helen for a full hour on The Candi & Randy Show as they talk about their new book “You Have No Idea.” Both women are charming and direct. Great guests, great chat, great show!

YOU HAVE NO IDEA is the highly anticipated first book from award winning singer and actress Vanessa Williams and her mother Helen.

Vanessa and Helen discuss it all: from becoming the first black Miss America in 1983 and the controversy that followed, to her debut and success on Broadway, and her resurgence in recent years on network television in Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. Vanessa has proven she has serious staying power, and as readers will learn, that survivor mentality and resilience is inherited from her mother, Helen.

No stone is left unturned. Filled with personal family photos and mementos, YOU HAVE NO IDEA is an empowering celebration of the love between a mother and daughter and the lives, thus far, of two women who have consistently defied the odds to achieve success—no matter how uncertain their paths might have been.

I really encourage everyone to read the new book. It’s sure to entertain and touch you.  The book is available today – April 17th – everywhere!  

Check it out on Amazon.  I got mine!

Apple exceeds estimates for quarter – $39.2 billion

Apple’s market muscle held firm Tuesday as the company  surpassed analysts’ estimates and set second-quarter records in its sales of iPhones, iPads and Macs.

The tech titan posted quarterly revenue of $39.2 billion — second only to its all-time, quarterly revenue record of $46.33 billion, which it reported last December.

For the March quarter, Apple reported a net profit of $11.6 billion — or 12.30 per diluted share. A consensus estimate previously gathered by Thomson Reuters had predicted Apple would post quarterly revenue of $38.9 billion and $10.10 per share.

I’m an Apple guy.  I like the products and they work easily with each other.  I can’t even use a PC.

Yes, Apple.  Taking over the world one iPad at a time.
