Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones ... especially when that house is an abortion clinic ... so says a "Toddlers & Tiaras" mom who's PISSED Vanessa Williams went off about pageant parents in a recent interview.

FYI -- Williams recently appeared on "Anderson" and when asked about the child pageant world said, "When the child is screaming and saying, ‘I don’t want to do this. I don’t feel like doing it.’ When they are using special juice to get them hyped ... that’s not my world and I would never have my kids do that.”

The comments didn't fly with "Tiaras" star  Wendy Dickey -- aka Paisley's mom -- who says she was personally offended ... and lashed back:

"Posing nude and having an abortion is 'not my world' and I would never have my kids do that ... so easy on the judging Vanessa!"

Dickey is clearly referring to the revelations Williams makes in her new book -- in which she admits she got an abortion in high school ... and explains how she appeared in Penthouse.

We reached out to Williams ... but so far, no response.

Vanessa Williams says she was sexually abused as a 10-year-old girl ... and believes the traumatizing experience caused her to become "highly sexualized" at an abnormally young age.

Williams dropped the bombshell in her new book, "You Have No Idea" ... explaining how an 18-year-old woman molested her during a family trip with friends.

The "Desperate Housewives" actress opened up about the experience to "Nightline" ... saying, "It happened one night where she told me, 'come over here,' I didn't know that it was wrong, but I knew that it wasn't right because I wasn't supposed to tell anybody."

"I think I was highly sexualized because I was in fifth grade and I had this experience. Because it feels good, you're like, OK, well this is supposed to be normal. That's not normal for a 10-year-old to be seduced."

In her book, Williams also reveals she had an abortion during her high school years ... but kept it a secret from everyone, including her mother, because she was scared.

Williams went on to become the first black Miss America in 1984 ... but was shamed into giving up her crown after several nude pictures appeared in Penthouse. Williams says she stupidly trusted the photographer when he promised to keep them private.

Now the actress is focused on moving forward saying, "I've learned to embrace my past. I embrace the choices that I have been given in my life."

Vanessa Williams has got the right stuff.

Here's the 26-year-old back in 1989 (left) -- and 23 years later, the 49-year-old at an event in L.A. (right).

Despite being being forced to relinquish her title, she'll always be Miss America.

Vanessa Williams and Kim Kardashian were at the Atlanta airport early this morning, hopping a flight back to Los Angeles after shooting scenes for Tyler Perry's movie, "The Marriage Counselor."

Vanessa and Kim make a fun pairing ... both had to overcome sex scandals early in their careers before they rose to superstardom. 

Reach for the stars.

Former "Ugly Betty" stars Vanessa Williams and America Ferrera reunited at the same event in West Hollywood.


Question is ... 

In 1998, Puerto Rican singer Chayanne became famous to American audiences by starring opposite Vanessa L. Williams in the movie "Dance with Me." Guess what he looks like now!

Vanessa Williams was pressured into resigning her Miss America post in 1984 for the same thing Miss California just got away with -- gettin' nekkid on camera -- so we figured she'd be ticked Carrie Prejean kept her crown....


The original nudie beauty queen stonewalled us, but if you watch the clip, you probably have a pretty good idea what she really thinks.

Here's "Hannah Montana" sensation Miley Cyrus (left) -- and former Miss America and "Ugly Betty" star Vanessa Williams (right).


One of them is a 45-year-old African-American woman.

We're just sayin'.

Vanessa Williams is no spring chicken -- but damn, at 45, she can still shake a tail feather like one!

Cameron Diaz was blaring her horn on the pappers -- but she should have listened to 'em, they were warning her she's a scofflaw for talking on a cell phone.


Also in L.A.: Vanessa Williams worked on the new Hannah Montana flick, Miley talked about Jamie Lynn's baby, Mama Spears met back up with Brit, Paris was heckled about her horrific past in film and Pauly Shore said goodbye ... for now, but he just won't live.

In NY: Brooke Hogan gave us a look that could kill when we asked about her incarcerated bro, Ethan Hawke was gangbanged after walking past Madge's building and Greasy Bear was just gross.

We asked readers what they JUST GOTTA KNOW... and we went looking for the scoop. Is Kevin Costner's marriage on the rocks? Is Vanessa Williams still married? What's going on with Colin Farrell?
