On Monday, “Extra's” AJ Calloway spoke with Wendy, who assured her fans that she's doing just fine after collapsing on live TV during her Halloween show. She explained, “Fainting is something that happens to people. Best place to faint probably is on national TV, 'cause all my doctors called — I didn't have to call them — and kept late hours and worked around my schedule. I did not have any pain when I got up. I was waiting three days… I don't have a lump on my head, no headache, and I'm fine.”
