Star Jones leaving The View

[Lynn7]

I think Jones has been pretty bitchy and hard to take at times but I can't help feeling that the show is treating her crappy at this point.

Star Jones Reynolds announced Tuesday morning on The View that she'll be leaving the show in July after nine years as a cohost.

"Something's been on my heart for a little bit, and after much prayer and counsel I feel like this is the right time to tell you that the show is moving in another direction for its tenth season and I will not be returning as cohost next year," she said on the air.

"That's shocking to me," interrupted Joy Behar, prompting Jones Reynolds to link hands with her cohosts.

As for where she'll go next Jones Reynolds said, "I'm not sure what the future holds, but I'm absolutely sure who holds the future."

The show's creator, Barbara Walters, wrapped up the discussion by saying, "It is a new chapter for Star. It will be a new chapter for The View in the fall."

So why is Jones Reynolds leaving? Contrary to speculation that she's unhappy about the upcoming addition of Rosie O'Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – to the show this fall, she reveals exclusively in this week's PEOPLE magazine that the departure was not her choice.

"What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season," she tells PEOPLE. "I feel like I was fired." She adds that she was told her contract wouldn't be renewed just days before news leaked that O'Donnell would be joining The View.

Jones Reynolds, 44, was part of the original lineup with Meredith Vieira (who has already departed to replace Katie Couric on the Today show), Behar and Walters.

For more details of Jones Reynolds's firing and her feelings about Rosie O'Donnell's 'hurtful' comments, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

Well I won't miss her. She's an egotistical jerk and she just looks like a tired old drag queen now.

I know she'll get another gig because the TV industry these days goes after people with her attitude like Lindsay Lohan goes after other skanky starlets' boyfriends.

[Addi88]

One down.....three to go.

[gorysnoopy]

Now she can spend more time with her gay husband.

[SpongeBod]

Hopefully, her planet will welcome her back.

Much like when the Death Star blew up Alderaan, Star Jones is gone.
But will the Jedis feel this one?
She got fired?
No, Rosie O'Dildo has more sway than Dogstar Jones and chances are Barbara Wa-Wa wants to back a more maleable pony in Rosie instead of feeding multiple bags of oats to Secretariat aka Star Jones Reynolds Wrap.
Not to alienate any fans but I HATE THE VIEW.
A bunch of cackling around a cauldron is all it is.
Entertainment? How do you entertain anyone when none of the jackals that host the show will SHUT THE FUCK UP, TALK ONE AT A TIME, AND STOP FORCING YOUR BORING ASS LIFE EXPERIENCES ON THE VIEWING AUDIENCE!

(Again, I apologize if anyone enjoys the View. I'm just a big meanie.)

Star will be just fine.
She'll take her Payless Shoes and toddle on to another station with an equally horrible show, deadening brain cells and shortening life spans across the country.

It's in the quatrains, my friends.

Now shes going to put her wig on and do the weather...:D

'VIEW' TURNS VICIOUS: WE MADE YOU A STAR!
Wed Jun 28 2006 11:20:10 ET

The wigs and faces have come off on morning television -- and the nails are out!

It isn't pretty.

Barbara Walters coldly ripped into outgoing VIEW talker Star Jones this morning on ABC-TV.

Walters announced that Star would no longer be permitted to appear on the show -- effective immediately -- after Star strayed from script during an exit that's turned ugly.

Transcipt:

WALTERS: "And then there were three. This is, truthfully, a very difficult day for us, and it is a sad day for us. If you were watching the program yesterday, you would have heard Star announce that she's leaving THE VIEW and will not be on the program next fall.

"We didn't expect her to make this statement yesterday. She gave us no warning. And we were taken by surprise. But the truth is that Star has known for months that ABC did not want to renew her contract and that she would not be asked back in the fall.

"The network made this decision based on a variety of reasons which I won't go into now. But we were never going to say this. We wanted to protect star. And so we told her that she could say whatever she wanted about why she was leaving and that we would back her up.

"We worked closely with her representatives and we gave her time to look for another job. We hope she would announce it on the program and leave with dignity.

"But Star made another choice.

"And since her announcement yesterday, she has made further announcements that have surprised us.

"So it is becoming uncomfortable for us to pretend that everything is the same at this table.

"And, therefore, regrettably Star will no longer be on this program, except for some shows that have been prerecorded.

"THE VIEW helped make Star a Star and Star helped make THE VIEW the success that it is.

"We will never forget that. We wish her well in this new chapter of her life as we begin a new chapter on THE VIEW."

Developing...

[BorderEevilIII]

Lost touch w/ the show eons ago....

Wasn't too much of a fan of Star so meh.......


Not to steer in a different direction here.....

Tryin to find the SNL skit and which one was better?

The one w/ Claire Danes or Cameron Diaz?

All I could find one was the one done on MadTV

[RustyRazor]

The View helped make Star a star and if Star wants to hitch her star to another star, then star star star star....Star?


Don't piss off Barbara Walters.
She'll take out her false teeth and wave them at you.

"If you were a star, what kind of star would you be?"

Sanctimonious, elderly cunt.
So they fired her, she made note that they fired her, and the Picture of Dorian Gray here is pissed because she let the cat out of the bag.

Tough cheese, Barbara.
Star Jones gotta eat too...

(I'm not going there. I'm no fan of Star Jones, but I HATE Barbara Walters and her Krakken lookin' ass.)

[gorysnoopy]

Damn Rusty.....

Spin the wheel...where will she land?? :)

Thank you, Snoopy.
And you might want to add BET to that listing of where she'll end up.
Everyone's gonna want to give her a chance to fire back at Barbara Walters and her fellow Gremlins on the View.

(You can tell which Gremlin Barbara is by that stripe in her hair.)
(WARNING: Don't give Spike...er,Barbara anything to drink! Even if she tells you she needs water to take her pills! Never feed her after midnight! And don't expose her to direct sunlight! Follow these rules and the View will be on the air for many years to come.)

(:( )

Eh...can't really see BET's demographic really caring about The View, that's why I picked all the Midol channels.

Sorry CNF,forgot to give you props for this.


:D :D :D

[ComeNightfall]

LOL, I do have my moments here.

[Lynn7]

Star was on Larry King tonight and it seemed like Larry was cold and slightly hostile to Star which made her more sympathetic IMO> Also, Barbara and ABC had given some statements to Larry to hit Star with and the statements looked like bullying and also made Star looked good. Star is a lawyer and no fool and she played this appearance just right, IMO.

[NuclearMisfit]

Is it me or did all the problems start after Star became a stick figure zombie after that gastric bypass? I mean really she looks dead. They opted to have Rosie O' Donuts on because they need the larger persons opinion. It happens in every social group, everyone has a big Rhonda.

[ElderPredator]

I've got a question......who gives a fuck? I could care less, she's an idiot and the show is idiotic. Barbara Walters hates Star but she won't admit it on the show. Her goodbye was so pathetic because she wouldn't say that she in fact got fired.

[NuclearMisfit]

You know Id go out dropping a couple F Bombs and make sure the show would be uneditable for viewing. The tape which would be leaked to the net would be worth viewing and plus that would most likely make me a star of viral video.

Isn't it, "take off her wig"?

[Joshmo]

Not a fan of Star Jones - but I'm glad she owned their asses before they could punk her later on down the road and leak the fact she got fired. Fuck the network, The View AND Barbara Walters...not a fan of the show - here's hoping we'll see a crotch shot of Merideth Vierra when she sits on the couch and hosts TODAY.

I wonder how long it'll take Rosie to lezzie up the joint with her personal life..my "wife" "my gay cruises"..."my kids who have two mommies"...I cant believe her "wife" is actually cute! I hope Rosie comes home one day and catchs her blowing a dude or muffing on a much better looking chick....I give it one month - two tops and gay topics will be the soup dejour on The View

I hate Rosie..how dare she tell other people to admit stuff in their private lives when she DENIED she was gay on her own talk show up til the last month! Fuck her...

I also cracked up when I read they wanna apeal to a younger demographic - um...then how about getting rid of Walters pushing 80 ass?

[Lynn7]

I had forgotten how Rosie had hidden her sexuality and when she was accused of doing that, she said, "I never hid it. Everyone who knows me knew I was gay." It's funny cause that is what Star has been saying, lol! She says she never hid her surgery that everyone who knew her knew she had had it and she said that she has always said she had a medical intervention. Maybe Star AND Rosie have learned a few things over the past week. They need to be more careful in how they treat other people.

[ComeNightfall]

This is why I don't watch The View. One full episode, and I'd be ready for a straitjacket fitting and shock therapy.

[brodeurnumber1]

Wait a minute, The View is still on the air?

No kidding.

What the fuck is Star Jones doing all over the TV? Why do I know who she is? Go away! Just fucking GO AWAY!

I fucking swear... Headline News spent, like, TEN FUCKING MINUTES on this (non) story the other day. The fucking Iraq War doesn't get ten minutes, but fucking STAR Jones does?

She must be the only person who looks worse after that bypass surgery. Holy cow is she ugly. But I guess when you're dead and souless on the inside, it doesn't matter what the outside looks like. I feel sorry for her husband if he's the kind of guy who "likes them large," cause she was fat when he proposed... now he wakes up to Skelitor.

Holy fuck, why am I talking about Star Jones?!?
