Star Jones just can’t stop opening her big mouth. She screwed herself out of a chance to exit The View gracefully by blabbing that she’s leaving on air, and then telling People that she was fired. She should have taken producers’ advice to “make up a story” about why she’s no longer going to annoy the old ladies who watch The View with her shrinking presence. Instead she behaved as arrogantly as she always does and managed to royally piss off Barbara Walters.

Word is that she has almost no chance of getting another job in television now that she’s poured gasoline over all her rickety bridges.

Here’s Star on The Today Show. She tries to compare herself to people screwed by big corporations like Enron or Tyco, but she’s totally full of shit. She also says she made the announcement she was leaving on Tuesday instead of Thursday because of the “nastiness” in the media.

That’s part 1 of 2. The second part is here.

She better get television coverage when she can, because she’s talk show poison now.

In news that’s not surprising to anyone, Star Jones Reynolds tells People magazine that her contract was not renewed for her tenth season on the annoying women’s talkshow, “The View,” and that she she “feels” like she was fired. If they didn’t renew your contract, you were fired, Star.

She announced this morning on the show that she will be leaving at the end of the season. Oh boo hoo:

People promises to have more on the story, including Star dishing on Rosie O’Donnel’s “hurtful” comments about her. O’Donnel said it was strange that Star would admit to breast lift surgery, but not own up to gastric bypass surgery that is largely rumored to have been the cause of her massive weight loss. She has also brought attention to the elephant in the room - Jones’ husband Al, who always played for the other team before he hooked up with the then-huge talk show host.

Rosie O’Donnel was handpicked by Barbara Walters for a cohost gig in what was interpreted as a bid to force Jones out. Unfortunately, Jones is said to have “signed a lucrative deal with another television outlet.” Who would be dumb enough to hire her?

Does anyone watch this piece of crap “The View” anymore? I have seen clips online that are so annoying I can barely sit through a couple of minutes, not to mention a whole hour. I asked my mother if anyone she knew watches it, and she knows of two people. Her 67 year-old friend who holidays in Boca watches it, but she has a high tolerance for talk shows. The other woman is over 80, also lives in Florida, and only has basic cable.

Here’s a clip of Sandra Bernhardt and her nastiness vs. Star Jones and her nastiness. That little stupid conservative chick from Survivor tries to get in an ill-informed political argument with Bernhardt, and Star tries to cut to commercial. People said it was a “catfight,” but it was more like an annoying argument.

Here’s Star Jones and her husband, Al, at The Apollo Theatre 2006 Spring Gala on 6/19.

Everyone was speculating that Star Jones wasn’t long for The View after straight-talking Rosie O’Donnell was handpicked by Barbara Walters to replace Meredith Vieira. It turns out that people were right, because Page Six is reporting that an insider has confirmed that Star will be exiting the show.

Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, is said to be considered for Star’s soon to be vacant post. We can’t wait to see what crappy non-job Star gets next. She’ll probably be out of work for a while until she breaks down and becomes the spokesperson for a diet or fitness-related product. She’s already shilling payless shoes, and has no scruples about what she’ll endorse to get free shit or cash.

Here she is with her husband at the The Playboy Club party on 5/5 hosted by the 2006 Playboy Playmate of The Year. At least she doesn’t have to worry about him checking out the bunnies.

No, not in the obvious way. At least according to this story. The hospital where Star had the gastric bypass surgery that she refuses to admit to had a problem sterilizing its equipment. So this isn’t as sensational a story as we were hoping, either, sorry about that:

If all this is true, and not some kind of conspiratorial cover up for the fact that Star’s husband infected her (we did not come up with this, the bulletin board where we found the news mentioned it first), then hopefully nothing happened to her, and she’ll be able to get on with her career of becoming the spokesperson for hemorrhoid cream after she gets booted off The View.

Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, is said to be in the running for Star’s place on The View. Star is not considered long for the show now that Rosie is taking Meredith Vieira’s seat. Star’s contract is up in September:

Nearly anyone would make a better cohost then Star.

We know you were anxiously waiting for these pictures of your favorite soap stars and talkshow hosts at the Daytime Emmy awards last Friday. Highlights include Star Jones showing off her new boobs, Martha Stewart looking smug and polished, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi cute ‘n cuddly, Cady McClain of All My Children in a too-short babydoll dress, and Sean Young a typical mess.

Ellen DeGeneres remains everyone’s favorite talk show host and took home the award in that category for a second year in a row. Guilding Light also won big:

Here are pictures of the arrivals including:
Susan Lucci, Sean Young, Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres, Al Reynolds, Star Jones Reynolds, Ashley Jones, Barbara Walters, Bobbie Eakes, Corbin Bernsen, Amanda Pays, Lisa Rinna, Martha Stewart, Maria Conchita Alonso, Melody Thomas Scott, Tracey Bregman, Lorenzo Lamas, Hunter Tylo, Kristian Alfonso, Alec Musser, Antonio Sabato Jr., Anya Monzikova, Bobbie Eakes, Bree Williamson, Cady McClain, Crystal Chappell, Carroll Spinney with Oscar The Grouch, Davetta Sherwood, Bryton McClure, Michelle Ray Smith, Michael Graziadei, Rachael Ray, Schae Harrison, Seven and McKenzie Westmore, and Sherri Saum.

Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons attended a benefit together despite the fact that Kimora’s representative confirmed at the end of March that they’re splitting. Russell has admitted an ongoing affair with gorgeous model Denise Vasi, but stated that he’s still friendly with Kimora for the sake of their children and business empire.

They put on a happy face at their annual Art for Life Benefit in Palm Beach this weekend, and Russell’s new girlfriend was not seen at the event. Still things were a bit straned for the two:

Also at the party was Star Jones without her husband Al Reynolds. Star was said to be feeling her new boobs all night:

Here are photos from the benefit, with guests pictured including Gayle King, Star Jones, Sammy Sosa, Venus Williams and Antonio LA Reid.

Star Jones famously got a large portion of her sham wedding ceremony to Al Reynolds comped. Now she doesn’t want to pay for stripping-focused exercise lessons, since she’s not going to need them anyway:

Obviously Jones is up to her old tricks and thinks that her dim star power is enough to get her anything she wants. She should just be canned from The View already and become a spokesperson because she doesn’t have many career options left.

By all accounts, Jones’ return to the View after the health scare she suffered from breast lift surgery was unremarkable. Jones brought some falsies in for her co-hosts, saying she no longer needed them, and admitted that she did have a scare on the operating table. She continued to downplay the threat to her health though and insisted that she was “eating bacon and eggs” the next morning. Jones seemed to get along fine with Joy Behar after their snotty exchange on the phone over the air. The two must have been making a special effort.

Jones was honored by Dress for Success at the Marriot Marquis in NY last night. Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that provides secondhand business attire and interview tips to disadvantaged women. Jones must be considered a wonderful example for women afraid to ask for charity.

Here’s Jones in what’s probably a borrowed dress at the Dress for Success event last night.

Star Jones and her surgically improved body attended the Daytime Emmy Nominations Dinner in LA tonight. Star looked foolish in a white tent of a dress that showed off her higher cleavage but covered her fat ass in layers of fabric.

Star seems to be recovering from the health scare she suffered after she lost too much blood and required a transfusion during a breast lift and tummy tuck operation two weeks ago. Star claims that she was not in danger and that the risk to her health was exaggerated, but the NY Daily News unearthed a 911 call from her surgeon’s office that suggests her life was at risk.

So The NY Daily News has evidence that Star Jones downplayed the health scare she suffered after her breast lift and tummy tuck two weeks ago. The people at the plastic surgeon’s office made an unprecedented call to 911, which suggests that there was something seriously wrong:

Jones should have admitted that she was really in danger. Maybe then Joy Behar wouldn’t have been so rude and the rest of us would have laid off ripping on her for a day or two. I’m glad she’s better, but I still hope she loses her job on The View and has to become a spokesperson for something embarassing.

We first posted the picture above on March 12th. Star must have seen those unflattering pictures of herself at Shaquille O’Neal’s birthday party, because she’s publicizing the fact that she just had a breast lift and a tummy tuck:

Star probably took advantage of the fact that her talk show The View, where she is widely reported to be on the outs, is playing re-runs this week.

It seems like she is confirming plastic surgery to take the heat off reports that she had gastic bypass surgery to lose so much weight recently.

In related news her husband, Al Jones, cut his head and needed stitches after supposedly falling while working out at the gym. We would be surprised if there were witnesses, considering the type of extracurricular activities he is likely to get up to while Star is away.

Update: Star almost died from plastic surgery complications, and we are sorry for suggesting she went public to take the heat off her gastric bypass surgery. She obviously went pubilc because she was gravely ill and had no other choice. Plastic surgery is not to be taken lightly people.
