Trump and Star: New BFFs?

The Donald's got an unlikely new ally in his battle against Rosie O'Donnell -- Star Jones!
Star Jones with Trump inset
In a fusion of shameless self-promoters that might explode the media universe into bits, Trump says that fired "View"-er Star Jones gave him a congratulatory call yesterday, presumably for his relentless attacks on Rosie O'Donnell and former boss Barbara Walters. The Donald told the New York Times, "I just got a congratulatory call from Star Jones." At least someone is calling.

In his withering invective against Ro and Babwa, Trump repeatedly referenced the Star saga of summer '06, in which Jones was bitterly fired by Walters, suggesting that Star was somehow mistreated by Walters. Yesterday, in a statement, Trump said that Babs had "lied with Star Jones and now she has chosen to lie again" in l'affaire O'Donnell.

32. Barbara Walters is starting to look like a two-face and I think Donald and Rosie believe it. I love this for a while but I'm starting to get tired. If you want keep this going Rosie's got to talk about how he cheated on his wives and Donald got to nuclear and drop the gay bomb.

33. Star is a major loser, so it wouldn't surprise me if she is in Trump's corner. Oh...and Star...by the way, Jacob sold me the same ring setting that you claimed he "customized for you"...about six years ago....YOU LOSER. And I"m sure you paid a heck.of a lot more for it than I did

34. STAR JONES IS A FAT, SAGGY DISGUSTING GRAY FACED PIECE OF SH*T. SHE AND TRUMP SHOULD GET MARRIED! BOTH OF THEM ARE WORSE THAN DOG VOMIT! IT WOULD FIGURE THAT THE ONLY ONE TO CALL TRUMP ABOUT ALL THIS IS A LOW LIFE LIKE STAR JONES. THE VIEW'S RATINGS SUCKED UNTIL SHE LEFT! PUT STAR JONES ON THE APPRENTICE TRUMP, THEN YOU CAN BOTH GO DOWN TOGETHER! PLUS, THE SCAG NEEDS A JOB BAD! SORRY IT WON'T LAST LONG, BUT IT MIGHT GET HER OFF UNEMPLOYMENT FOR A WEEK OR TWO. LOSERS!

35. Is there anythng to watch for entertainment on television these days other than homosexuals and their bragging and "in your face" attitudes? If they are crazy enough to choose to be that way, why blab it and exploit it and try to turn normal people to their way of thinking and living?? Rosie is a loud mouth, obnoxious bull dyke and Ellen runs a close second. Their attractive "wives" are clearly involved for the money. What a waste and just think of all these confused and screwed up kids they are raising!! The networks and sponsers are going right along with this pathetic, sad waste of life. Thank goodness for all the old reruns of shows from "way back when" people still had morals and cared what others thought of them and lots of fun game shows, else some of us old fuddy duddies would be without anything to watch at all unless we want to get down and wallow with pigs.

37. actionnews9,

to answer your question, there are supporters of Trump regarding the Rosie O incident because I for one think she went over the top with her commenting on his hair and other personal jabs she gave him when she was expressing her "VIEW" (of which she is entitled) regarding her disagreement with Donald's decison to give miss USA a second chance. Those Rosie supporters who feel that it is okay for her to make pot shots at his combover because others have done so should feel that it was okay for Donald to retalliate (no matter how juvenile) and make statements calling her fat, obnoxious and a loser just because many others have voiced this same opinion about the man oops I meant woman.

I am not a fan of Rosie O'Donnel nor Donald Trump, but I am supprting Donald because if I were him, I'd be doing the same thing. I agree with him letting it be known that Star Jones is on his side. Barbara Walters has definately dissappointed a lot of her fans/supporters/admierers. Donald Trump may be using Rosie's big mouthed embarrassment for publicity to bring more money to his empire, but that's what he does... Barbara is basically doing the same thing, which she has a right to do, but she needs to stop acting like she actually likes Rosie, which I don't believe she does...

Just my "VIEW" too bad if you don't like or agree with it... But if you bring it to a personal level, I'm gonna hit you 10 times harder than the baby slap you hit me with... Believe it.

38. I'm with the Donald and anyone that Rosie has attacked. Rosie is not funny nor a good comedian. Her suppose to be jokes are personal (HER "VIEW"). She usually starts out saying that she don't like the person that she is attacking or that the person (again that she is attacking) has some homophobic problem and/or that they have in the past offended one of the friends. Any show that Rosie has been on she has tried to take over by over talking the host (she loves to hear herself talk) and is not very open minded. She is not for gays, fat women nor anyone that she associates herself with. She uses the minority to get them on her side when she is fueding. Get over yourself Rosie.

39. Lucille, excellent post. I hadn't thought about it before, but they knew that Rosie could not carry on an intelligent conversation with Star. You hit the nail on the head with that one.

Elsie, excellent idea. Star is an attorney so Donald could hire her to sue Rosie over the defamatory comments she made.

40. Damn, I must say, trump is the man...he called it!!!! Barbara definately did lie to Star, and the media about the "firing situation"...for months she said"Star is welcome back..." Then when she gets sick of the Joy BigMouth" Beher and Barbara "Lyin" Walters, they say she knew since April she was fired. I actually like Star, she was done wrong, she lost ove 150 lbs, gets called names by Rosie 2 years before she is hired and bows out gracefully, now the sh*t hits the fan and the Witches of ABC or seen as they really are, like most women unfortunatelly, lyin', schemin', down right bitches, and I mean that with the most spiteful and nastiest tone you could think of. PS... They are also hypocrites, when 50"Fiddy" Cent signed with Rebokk, Hasselbitch said..." I will not be lacing up my Reebok running shoes..." Then Mr. Cent makes an appearance, looking quite 'hood, and Hasselbitch is all over him, right....I see...smile for the camera Survivor reject.....and your husband sucks big time...Go Jets!!!!!!

41. Trump is using Star... If he cared so much about her being DUMPED why didn't he speak out when it happened???????

The View tried to not humiliate Star by making her firing public. They gave her the opportunity to say she quit so she didn't look like an ass! Why can't you people wrap your head around that? If you were fired would you want your boss blabbing it to everyone you know? OR would you rather say you left on your own. DUH!!

Star was fired because the viewers hated her. I wrote to the View many times begging them to rid of her. She sucked.

42. All the Rosie supporters fall back! Do you actually watch the show.

Rosie doesn't think anyone should own a gun. But her bodyguards have guns.
Rosie goes on anti-Christian rants all the time
Yesterday Rosie said that Anderson Cooper wasn't a true journalist
Rosie aggressively confronts and bullies Elizabeth, Joy AND Babwawa if they disagree with her. She insults them on the show and is extremely condescending.
She constantly attacks other celbrities if they don't agree with her.

Rosie please increase your meds!

This is the Rosie O'donnell show. The others just happen to be there.

Star Jones was on that show for 9 years and never behaved as badly as Rosie.

Yes, the ratings are up but the respect and class are gone! Jerry Springer's audience members have now entered the building.

Posted at 1:45PM on Jan 11th 2007 by Star Jones is laughing loudly!

43. Who would you rather be? A gazillionaire with a hot babe bride on your arm, or a short, fat, ugly, loud thing?

44. Am I the only one who finds that photo downright SCARY???

What the Hell was she doing when it was taken? I can venture a few guesses that relate to "marital aids" -- Lord knows she needs 'em, being married to Gay Al!

Both Donald and Rosie need to SHUT THEIR YAPS and move on.

45. Star Jones and Donald Trump, I can't think of a better suited couple. They can "high five" each for having so much integrity.
Be careful Star, you see how Donald treats his "friends"; he showed no loyalty to one of the most respected women in television Barbara Walters. Who among us hasn't said unfavorable things about co-workers to friends and colleagues in a social setting, can you imagine the fiasco it were repeated; most of us have the emotional maturity to realized that you don't repeat such idle comments.
Seriously Starr, you can't possibly believe Donald Trump has any use for you. How long before he uses and discards you like this morning's poopie diaper.

Donald Trump is in the midst of his "Tom Cruise" moment. Come on Donald, maybe you should be jumping on Oprah's couch proclaiming how BW lied to you and Rosie O is a #*!. Oh yeah, and Starr Jones is on your side.

So much for a Captain of Industry. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have more class, integrity and self-respect than you could ever have, or hope to buy.
