Talk-show host Wendy Williams announced that she has landed the exclusive first in-person interview with Aretha Franklin since the singer has been ill. Media reports said the 68-year-old Franklin was recently treated for pancreatic cancer.  However, her representatives confirmed only that she underwent successful surgery in December for an undisclosed ailment. Williams didn’t say when exactly she’d be going to Detroit to visit the Queen of Soul, but did say the legend wants to take Williams to the gym and that the two would also “have high tea together.” The Franklin interview is tentatively scheduled to run on March 2nd.
