LOS ANGELES - April 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Hollywood personality, actor and former talk radio show host Wendell James will co-star along side of good friend and Emmy nominated actress/comedienne Kym Whitley in a humorous poignant docu-series following the life of the actress and her chaotic group of friends called “the Village” as they attempt todo something they’d never done before: raise a baby! The show is scheduled to air Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 10/9C on the OWN Network.

“Taping was a lot of fun. I just had to be me, so it was like a normal day in the life of the Village. You won’t  believe the things that go on!” laugh’s Wendell.

Kym Whitley and Wendell met in early 2004 when Whitley was hired to host a launch event debuting Wendell’s new shirt line “Wendell’s Designs”. From there the friendship blossomed, to include vacations, shopping for one another, lunch, dinner, laughter, tears, arguments and fabulous peace offerings! All the things you would see in a full on marriage, except for… well, you know. It wasn’t long before their circle of Hollywood friends would refer to them as “Hollywood play husband and wife”, so naturally it was no shock when Wendell was asked to be just that on “Raising Whitley”. James is a very standout and opinionated member of the Village. His no-nonsense attitude and nontraditional child raising ideas bring laughter, excitement and drama to the show. Little Joshua Whitley is in for a colorful upbringing.
