Weighty Ratings

July 13, 2006

20060713_starjones_160x120.jpgStar Jones-Reynolds' secret may have cost her job. She kept the surgery behind her weight loss hush-hush (as much as one can when they drop 1,000 sizes in a week on national television). "View" viewers wanted to know how she did it. If she’d talk about her tah-tahs being surgically lifted but not about the rest of her body, then why not talk about everything? The loyal audience didn't like her secrecy one bit. Folks at home watch “The View” because the hosts express their opinions and offer advice, and Star's behavior didn't fit. Why she didn't look to Oprah as an example of how battles with the bulge can be the most powerful lure, no one knows. Ultimately, she did dish with Larry King about how she'd lost weight with some help from a newly stapled stomach. But it was too little, too late.

I believe Star Jones is a highly intelligent person who added a lot to The View. In the end, I think she was treated shabby! Weight is a highly sensitive area and if she didn't wish to discuss her weight loss SO WHAT? A person doesn't need to be a Mensa member to figure out the liklihood that she had surgery! As far as LOUD MOUTH Rosie O'Donnell's comments, LOOK AT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK!! She believes Star should have told the public how she lost weight. HELLO!! How many years did it take for Rosie to be honest with the public and "COME OUT OF THE CLOSET"?? If the hostesses on The View should have an honesty policy, I think it is high time Barbara Walters discusses how she mananges to look AT LEAST 20 yrs. younger than she is. Again, I don't think a person needs to be a member of Mensa to know that answer either.
I wish Star well.

Hey,Diane: You are so right. If Star J. wanted everybody and there mamma to know what she did in her private life she would have posted the operation on the Web. It's nobodies business but her's and her man's. People are so Nosey and judgemental that they think that just because these celebs are in the public eye that they don't deserve privacy or respect. That they can and will be treated 'Anyway' that the Public or Gossip-rags deem fit. But it 'ain't so Joe', Everyone deserves privacy. Even Star Jones. I'm sure Barbara W. and Rosie O. would have a stroke and a coronary combined if someone they trusted blabbed about some of the things they did and it had not come to the Public's attention. Like Bobby B. says 'It's My Purogative' (Please excuse the spelling--But you get the jist of what I'm saying) So remember each person Deserves some privacy, even Star Jones!
