Gossip & Rumors
Babwa Hate Star

Barbara Walters has hated Star Jones for a long time, and it has nothing to do with Rosie O'Donnell. 

I'm told Barbara utterly turned on Star during the diva's wedding.  Walters was horrified by the freebies Star was getting and felt she was making "The View" look awful.

Barbara Walters and Star Jones

But it goes beyond all that.  For several years, I've heard that Barbara was fed up with Star acting like she was all that.  It's true, no one has a higher opinion of Star than herself.  I remember during the O.J. Simpson civil trial (her pre-gastric surgery days), when someone I know complimented her on her hairstyle.  Star's response:  "That's my Audrey Hepburn look." 

Star has pissed off an awful lot of people in Hollywood who feel she treated them shabbily -- that, by the way is an extreme understatement.  It's no surprise that Barbara Walters ultimately turned on her.

The problem is, now Walters is starting to look really bad, publicly feuding with Jones.  She should follow her smart self and just shut up.  But she can't.  You see, that's how much she hates Star.

1. Barabra should grow up! She is jealous that someone but her got attention, who cares? Star is out of the View soon, so shut up and get your act together!

I won't watch the view again once Rosie gets on the set. She is not the type of person I care to watch at all. As for Diva Barabra, I can live a long life without her too.

2. Barabra vs Star...These two are not so special to call eachother anything. I sick of of BW stick quips out and sarcasism is enough. All this is enough to never watch the show again. When Rosie gets on I won't every watch it again, she is not what I would call a match for the other women on the show.

I wish Star all the best and BW get a life you are not all that!!

3. I agree whole heartly with the above comment. It does seem that she is only thinking of herself and not the other team players on The View. She made a big deal with her wedding, and elaborated a little too much. Her personality changed for the worse and not for the better.

Good Luck to her in the near future

4. I am glad Star is gone. The worst day for Star was when Joy was discussing the merits of a colonoscopy only to be interrupted by Star discussing a bikini wax that she had just received. So self absorbed! Very easy to dislike!

I won't watch Star on TV period!

5. I think the show is taking a turn for the worst. I would not be interested in viewing once the changes take place in the new season. Not a R. O'D fan at all.

6. Thank GOD she is gone. Now I can finally watch "The View" again. That woman needs a reality check. Between the wedding and the weight loss she really got a attitude. Lately that sour puss on her face was enough to make anyone hurl. I am thrilled she, and the HUGE chip on her shoulder, have hit the road. Good luck Star, you will need it!

7. I don't care for Star. She think,s it doesn't stink when she goes to the
bathroom. Rosie is so militant since she came out as a lesbian that
she has turned alot of people off. Personally I think the View isall but
over as a talk show.IOt has lost all direction.

8. I think these celebrity ought just grow up!!!!! and start starting setting and example in society , their in the lime light of everybody. People look up to them for corretness and listen to with comments what good and bad on the view . I occassionly watch it did not attract me with the make up with the women , it had a un even balance and some rudness to it at times!!!! So I , GOOD LUCK to Star Jones and GOD BLESS the child that has his own you derserve it Girl...

9. It is always important to get the truth out and Barbara is doing just that. Star Jones showed her true character(or lack of...) during her commercialized wedding,so her abrupt on-air pity party to announce her departure was not surprising. It will be so nice not to have to endure anymore of her self-serving diatribe! I will be "Viewing" more often!

10. Star Jones is a pig of the highest order. She was incredibly religiously biased and rude to a friend of mine who was on the show couple of years back, which is why I've never watched the show again. As for Baba Wawa, she has always annoyed the crap out of me and she was pretty nasty to my friend too, so the hell with them both. The show is a self-important, self-indulgent piece of crap anyway.

11. I loved watching "The View" in the begining, now that Meridith has left, I have no real reason to watch other than Joy Behar. Star has always been full of herself and I refuse to watch with Rosie coming on. I wish you all luck, you are going to need it.

12. Star is going to land on her feet, Yes I agree, she got worse over the years, she was much better with the weight on, she became a monster with the weight loss. But Ms. Walters is making a HUGE mistake hiring Rosie and keeping Elisabeth.

13. I LOVE THE VIEW--I LOVE ROSIE---I MISS MEREDITH- IWILL NOT MISS STARR----NOW I WANT MY FAVORITE LINDA DANO TO REPLACE STARR-SHE COULD BRING THE VIEW BACK WHERE IT BELONGS

14. We all heard rumors about Star leaving, and her announcement yesterday was pulled off with class, whether you like Star or not. She immediately thanked Walters, and then her other co-hosts. That should have been the end of it. Barbara looked very bad and spiteful this morning when she revealed that ABC's prior decision about Star.

Apparently Walters didn't like the fact that Star told People magazine. that she felt she'd been fired, and comments Star made today on the radio may have fueled the fire. Well she HAD been fired. The View's ratings were pretty high during Star's wedding fiasco... and I agree that it was a bit much.

I won't watch The View anymore either. Star didn't air ABC/Walter's dirty business on the show. Barbara should've done the same. It will all be in the tabloids and the web anyway.

15. I stopped watching the View years ago because of Star. I will soon be a "born again" viewer once Rosie is in place!
