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.

76. Lucille,
I guess we don't have to guess what race you belong to, but you have got to be living on another planet to say that Star Jones has class! Where? She lost weight, good for her, with HELP from modern medicine...no biggie for most people to reveal. So why was that conceited bitch so afraid to admit that she needed help with it? HEAVEN FORBID! I guess if something had gone wrong with the surgery, we would have heard her screaming loudly enough! She chose to go on The View and out the fact that she had been fired, just to stick it to BW. Good for her again, but it made me disgusted with her more than ever. She took and took for her wedding, and made no bones about it. She is a bitch of the first magnitude. SHE was the one who DID change with her surgery. She got even more conceited and thought her sh*t was made out of gold. Well, she got what she deserved. I used to like her decades ago when she did reporting for some of the news shows, but she got too big for her britches somewhere along the line and lost her humility. Getting fired hopefully will give it back to her again...but I DOUBT IT. That's why America hates her, not because she is BLACK. You people need to get over it now!

77. Geeze, when will it end. Rosie did start it and can be a little much, but she to me is a better, kinder, more thoughtful person. He is so full of himself he makes me sick. He outright lies all the time. Get over it Donald, go home and let your wife show you how to change your kid's diaper.

78. Lucille: I guess we don't have to guess what race you are. Star Jones has class? What planet are you from? She is a conceited self serving bitch that thinks her shit is made out of gold. She had bypass surgery, good for her. Why was she so afraid to admit that she needed the help of modern medicine? She used to be decent, way back when she was doing reporting, but she got to big for her britches. She stunk on The View, and when she decided to out her firing, it just made her look more pathetic. This has nothing to do with race. Star stinks, plain and simple. You people need to get over it now!

79. I have lost all respect for Barbara Walters over this. I've never been a fan of her biased liberal journalism, but she was a pioneer for women in journalism and TV and she deserved respect. Not any more!

She really screwed up with the whole Star Jones-Reynolds debacle. You'd think she would have learned but obviously she didn't. Hiring Rosie O'Donnell was a HUGE mistake. Rosie is rude, abrasive, hypocritical and religiously biased.

Poor Elizabeth Hassellback..... stuck with a looney, a hypocrite and ....well....Joy Behar, another liberal blowhard. ABC needs to cancel "The View". It's a joke.

80. Basically, all of this is krama. Rosie started on Star Jones, Barbara fired Star Jones, Rosie accused Kelly Rippa of being a homophobic, then she made fun of Chinese people, now Donald Trump. I think Rosie's a wimp. She didn't expect Donald to say anything. She taught she was picking an easy target. Who the hell is she? What's her special talent? Insults? Anybody can do that.

81. Rosie reminds me of Ursula from "The little mermaid".

83. It's obvious that Trump seized an opportunity for the sake of publicity for his failing show. Rosie's original statements were true. He DID cheat on his first wife; he DID cheat on his second wife and his company (although not him personally) DID declare bankruptcy. Rosie's original statement was simply that a man with the aforementioned background is not in a moral position to be judging the behavior of the current Miss America (or is it Miss USA?).
For his part, it seems clear that Trump "can't handle the truth". If he doesn't want to be judged for his immoral behavior, then he should not behave immorally.

84. People come on! These are filthy rich folks we are talking about here. Why are you guys cursing each other, getting racial just to promote someone else's agenda? There are bigger issues, like Iraq. Stop hating. Is this what America has become? I hate you, you hate me? That's sad.

87. I was so glad when Starr left the View. I couldn't watch it when she was on. You could hear her breathing loudly in between every word she spoke. YUCK!

I went back to watching as soon as she left. The feud should fizzle soon. Trump only responds now when Rosie does and she seems to be moving on.

It's a millionaire vs a billionaire, screw em' both.

89. To #69 Anjanette,

Do you tell the Jews to lay-off talking about the Holocaust? Don’t tell me I can’t talk about the White racism that has controlled Black life in this country since White’s kidnapped Blacks into slavery.

What employee do you know, is told they are being fired because two years ago, they received too many “freebees” at their wedding. The audience couldn’t careless how Starr paid for her wedding, as Starr’s wedding plans was the highest rated shows the view had telecast. Rather it was just a red herring to attack Starr because some people were jealous of Starr’s job, weight loss and marriage. This Black woman had to be put in her place.

Barbara lied to Starr for more than two months. Starr has a photographic memory and recalls both Barbara and ABC denying her job was in jeopardy, while feeding the information to the tabloids in order to justify what they were going to do. Its called a smear campaign. Then Rosie with the tacit permission of ABC and Barbara Walters went on the attack for Starr’s job.

Oprah Winfrey once had a show about the hate mail she received for losing weight. All I saw was White women on that show complaining that it made them feel better if Oprah was fat and they resented her weight loss. If Joy Behar feels that way about Starr Jones, that’s her problem and if you, Anjanette #69, can’t handle our the truth, then that’s your problem too.

90. To #75 - NOT A STAR WORSHIPPER,

America doesn't hate Starr, but we need to rid ourselves of racist, bitches like you.
