No long boring details of how or why we're here. Trust us, it'll be evident over the course of the first few weeks that we've had something to say for a loooong time. Whatever.
What we want to talk about is Star Jones' "sudden departure" from The View.We've made our jokes about Star, and we've guffawed while scrolling through the pics on www.starandal.com. However, when ABC execs decided to replace former co-host Meredith Viera with none other than Rosie (the hubby) O'Donnell, we thought they might have gone too far. Rosie had already called Star "a bitch" in the press, and referred to her weight loss and the sexual orientation of her husband publicly. So ABC hires her shortly thereafter? Odd. Then when the wags reported that Star was looking for a new gig, sweet old Babs said that Star was "welcome to stay as long as she pleased." Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Well, as always, the wags were right, and there's more to the story. It's no secret that the wonderful world of NY media is super shady, but ummm...of all the lying, thieving, conniving... These jokers didn't renew Star's contract, then told her they were hiring Rosie, and after conceding that she lied Babs wants to know why Star had to say she felt like she was "fired." Every day, we hope and pray that our less melanated counterparts (LMCs) here on earth aren't as stupid as we think they are, but this ranks up there with "they hate us for our freedom."

Hi! Just stumbled across your
blog via the Blogger "Next" button
at the top of our blog pages, and
I decided to pop in and comment.
*Nice blog btw! :D*
Anywho... As I said in another
forum earlier today:
How on earth could Barbara Walters (BW)
possibly be betrayed’, except by
the fact that Star’s announcement
came Tuesday June 27th, instead of
Thursday June 29th (as planned),
which only robbed Barbara and ABC
of their plans for ’spinning’ the
situation in their favor, and NOT
to help Star as BW said [lied]on the
show this morning!
It’s about business & ratings; and
NO ONE in that business is
indispensable when it comes to
that! Brilliant move Star!! Make
'em face and tell the truth!
Whew! Now, I've vented...
brrreeeathing in deeeeply...and
ouuuuut...
Ok! Hey! I'm good ta' go! *lol*
C'ya!
Joyfully,
~~Life
You are absolutely right. Barbara Walters really played herself, making herself the victim in this whole scenario. Thanks for posting!
