Nobody Puts Barbara In a Corner

1. YAY! Now get rid of that no talent, brainless Elisabeth and maybe I will watch again.

2. I am proud that Star Jones is gone.I have watched your show ever
since it started airing and never cared for Star. She really changed
for the worse when she lost weight. Which, I think it makes her look
terrible. When you look at her all you see are those eyes ready
to pop out of her head.
Thanks, and good luck with Rosie,
Judy

3. Dignity for whom? If I were being shown the door w/no back up, I probably would have left the same way Star did. Certainly Barbara would not have expected a personality like Star Jones to leave with more dignity for the Show than herself. I say Star and her superego did what was best for her in true Star fashion and that's dignity.

5. I am not sorry to hear of Star Jones's release from the view. I don't think she added much to the show. She is so cheap, she only wanted to use the VIEW'S name to get as much free bling for herself. I am sure there are business still suing her for all the outstanding invoices never paid for her wedding. What broadcaster would want that associated with a show.

6. As much as I can't stand Star Jones, the more details that trickle out of this story, the more I side with her. It seems to me that ABC/Barbara Walters is embarrassed by the fact that everyone now knows the truth behind Star's announcement. Why is it that ABC is so upset that Star chose to tell the truth about being pushed off the show? Perhaps ABC is worried this makes them look 'mean'. So what does ABC do? They tell her not to come back to work, how childish!

7. Star is a lot of things and the whole wedding thing was probably not the best thing to do but I think everyone is too much on her case. I don't think she did anything THAT bad to warrant this kind of treatment. BaBwa might have been pissed but she should have taken the high road and just said what's done is done its a new day instead of making this more a public fight. Star just told the truth that her contract wasn't renewed and when that happens its that you're fired.... that is the truth. She lost wheight and refused to say how. she said she did not want to be a poster child for which ever process she had used to slim down (surgery everyone suspects) because there are other methods and each method works differently for each individual what is so wrong with that?

She was fat, now she's slimmer but not prettier, she did her bobs and removed excess skin, I don't see why she should be punished for that. Asking for freebies wasn't right, that much I agree but that doesn't warrant such bad treatment for someone who'd been with the show for 9 years.

Who knows how the show will go, could get better or worse with the addition of Rosie, if it gets worse they'll still blame Star for that I'm sure. Everyone might see this as a backlash on Star but she might come out on top because the View won't be viewed so positively anymore. Star was like family to them, like it or not, they should have treated her fairly even if they thought else privately.

I wish the show the best (although I never watch it) and I wish Star good luck too... reminds me of CBS and Dan Rather it didn't have to end that way.

As someone else said the only reason some people watched the View was for Star. She's funny and mouthy and let's be honest that's DAMN good television. Barbara does seem like a BITCH and Joy is not as funny without Star to work off of. And don't get me started on that
Elizabeth everyone hates her she has nothing intelligent, funny, or worthwhile to listen to. THE VIEW R.I.P.

This could be the beginning of THE END for The View, it might seem bad for Star now but it will be interesting to see what happens to the Show next year.

8. Before my finding out that Rosie is joinging the girls I agreed with getting rid of Elisabeth because she is just too opinionated. Everything to her is black and white and no gray at all. I often wonder how her husband can stand her. Now I think it will be interesting to watch Rosie and Elisabeth get into it. Maybe Rosie can make her see that there is more than one side to everything. I am also glad that Star is going because she has become too bossy and hogs every conversation no matter what the topic is. The only two that stayed the same from the beginning are Joy and Barbara.

10. I never could stand Star. I say good riddence to bad rubbish. She brought the whole show down with her sham marriage and snobbish attitude.

11. Star's dismissal was a tactical blunder for The View. Her intelligence and legal background gave the show a sophisticated diversity which will now be replaced with brash outspokeness, thanks to newcome Rosie O'Donnell. Sure, Star's wedding commercialism was over the top, but she's still has a lot more to teach us than Rosie.

12. Elisabeth should have been fired before star. I think the way Babs did Star is really messed up considering Star has been with this show from the start. I think Babs wants a fresh NEW view.. Makes me wonder If Meredith left before they could get rid of her, too.

Also, Barbara lied when asked if star was coming back a while ago. SHe told Entertainment tonight that Star was welcome to stay if she wanted. The whole time she knew Star wouldn't be coming back.

The show is HORRIBLE with just OLD BABS, JOy and know it all Elisabeth.

I will maybe watch the first week of Rosie with the view. I will cross my fingers for a fight between Rosie and Elisabeth.

13. I'm not a fan of Star Jones and I'm glad she's leaving the show, but Barbara Walters is a b!@#$% on wheels. She's not classy, she's a big phony acting like she was protecting Star until she found another gig. Barbara always wants to be in control. I think Star has enough problems at home with Al without having to put up with Queen Barbara and her nasty comments

14. I'm sure in the 50 or so years that Barbara has been in the business, she has been stabbed in the back. With that in mind, she should of handled this with more professionalism. After all those years she put int he business, too bad she will be remembered as the wicked witch of the view.
