Fresh off the announcement of all-time high ratings and news of all-new episodes through July, The Wendy Williams Show continues to heat up. The daytime talker will give away all-inclusive trips to Jamaica every week, welcome a lineup of superstar celebrity guests, show off hot guys as the fashion segment "Eye Candy" becomes "Guy Candy," as well as give viewers free gifts every day.

"It's going to be a long, hot summer on Wendy and I can't wait to start turning up the heat in May," Williams said.

Hot upcoming guests include Susan Sarandon, Kerry Washington, Don Cheadle, Alison Sweeney, Alyssa Milano, Ciara, David Alan Grier, Donald Trump, Eve, Gabourey Sidibe and Sheryl Crow.

In a new "Hot Seat" game segment, celebrity guests will reveal all as they answer a series of questions with increasing "heat." Wendy will get them to reveal secrets and fun facts no one else knows.

Starting in April, viewers get a chance to win a luxurious Grand Prize trip to Jamaica by watching for the "Word of The Day" and then logging on to www.Facebook.com/WendyShow to enter the sweepstakes. The five-night, six-day all-expense paid trip includes flight, hotel, transportation and meals. Click here to view the video of Wendy announcing the details. In addition to the Grand Prize trips, viewers will have the chance to win hot daily giveaways, which will include cool beauty items, cutting edge electronics, tasty food, posh fashion accessories and more. Registration for those can be done via Wendy's Facebook page also.

During Wendy's "Hot May," the usual "Eye Candy" fashion segment will be replaced with "Guy Candy," where twice a week, a hot, single guy looking for love will appear on the show and win a date with a lucky audience member.

Williams' sixth book titled Ask Wendy (William Morrow) hits stands May 7. The book is based on the popular, recurring advice segment from The Talk show. And beginning June 25, Williams will star as Matron "Mama" Morton in the hit Broadway musical "Chicago" for seven weeks in New York City.
