Someone might want to put Al Renolds on suicide watch....
The NYPOST is reporting that Star Jones is leaving The View in the wake of Rosie joining. And, although I never watch the show, I was looking forward to hearing reports of 'bellies flying everywhere' and '...revealing a bald Star Jones'.
'ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at "The View," a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won't say is that she's being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show's grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O'Donnell."It was always Rosie's condition of joining the show, and Barbara agreed to those conditions from the outset," our source said. The network and Jones are now concocting a face-saving scenario in which Jones will be touted as moving on to pursue important new projects.
Jones' camp yesterday denied the blustery babbler is going anywhere. "It's 100 percent not true. Where are you hearing this?" a rep for Jones said. A "View" flack echoed that. But those denials come on the heels of reports that Oprah Winfrey's best friend, Gayle King, may be in line to take over Jones' chair on the kitschy coffee klatch.
And while publicly, the show says Jones is "welcome" to remain on "The View" as long as she wants, insiders confirmed late last week that her agents are quietly shopping around for a new job for her.
There's been bad blood on the set, particularly with co-host Joy Behar. Star was secretly dubbed "Bridezilla" two years ago after she took untold freebies from wedding suppliers in exchange for plugs on the show.
And she threw a hissy fit when ABC suits banned her from plugging Payless shoes, which paid for her endorsement. Recently, Jones enraged Walters and her crew by bragging about her dramatic weight loss while refusing to confirm that she'd undergone gastic bypass surgery to achieve it.'

Thank you Jesus! I cannot stand Star Jones.
She is as fake as her hair. She is married to a gay man (look how uncomfortable he looks in the photo on the right, of Star on top of him!) She had gastro bypass surgery, why can't she admit that? Who cares? She is soooo ghetto. I hear Gayle King will fill her shoes. Only diffrence is Gayle has too much class to wear Payless. Later Star, pack up ALL your wigs, your fake eyelashes and your 7 trunks of make-up. Also, you should get your thyroid checked, STAT. Your eyes look like they are going to pop out of your f*cking huge head!

I agree MV! I have never liked that bitch. She said in an article..."I would like to float down the Nile like Cleopatra". Well afterall, she is the Queen of DE NILE.
Poor Al, I bet he we were getting a lap dance from a hot young guy he would look WAY MORE turned on. BUH BYE Star. There is a meat market on the South Side of Chicago called MOO & OINK, I hear they are looking for a new spokesperson. Match made in Heaven!

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD. Now they need to get rid of that awful Elizabeth....the sound of her voice are like nails on a chalkboard. She is such an idiot! Finally Barbara woke up and kicked Star to the curb. Now that Star is leaving I may just start watching the show again. Gayle King would be a great addition, she can hold her own. Afterall, she puts up with all of EGO OPRAH'S BULLSHIT. Gayle must have the patience of a saint!
If she can tolerate Oprah....the View will be like a walk through Central Park.

Hey Barb T, forget the MOO & OINK gig...
There is Club in Chi Town called the Baton...
Drag Queens perform, Star looks just like one.
She can perform, while FAG AL serves cock-tails.

I'll bet Merideth must be oh so glad she will soon not have to sit next to Star's Perfume/Fart Cloud anymore. Star has about as much talent as Omarosa.

When I saw that title, I thought to myself, "so, they've decided to be gay as a couple now..."
Or something like that.

Wow! I never knew there were so many people with this much time on their hands to hate Star Jones whats-her-face. I mean I generally have to mute the TV when she talks on the show ...mostly because after listening I am "dumber" for having heard her silly babble, but you guys are hitting below the belt. Poor Al is right... who knew he would catch so much flack for getting himself a suger mamma! Who knew free loaders are gay? Do we really need Star Jones to admitt to surgery? Why... and who the hell cares? Rosie has let me down just by giving a crap. I can now officially say she must have lost her marbles. Rosie is crazy to be even entertaining the idea of outting her. Why? What does this matter? Rosie, in past years, would use her voice for worth while causes. Now I am ashamed to say I am from her native LI. This is now a world gone mad. Rosie..What did Boy George do to you? One bad hair cut and you have officially lost your mind!

I think what you guys are writing is wrong, star helped make that show what it is!! I think it is wrong to do that to someone, I think Barbara walters is the biggest idiot I have ever seen on TV!!! She should be ashamed to even be on TV and make up lies....

Star has always had that "it's all about me" attitude. I hope she NEVER gets another job on daytime TV. Someone should snatch her bald-headed. She isn't even good enough to do infomercials for the ab-lounger! And Al...please go hook up with Ross the Intern. He sure would bring a bigger smile to your face than Star.
