Celebrity Feuds
Star Slaps Back -- No, You Did NOT Pay Me!

UPDATE: TMZ spoke to Star's manager who laid it out for us, on the record. According to her manager, this was a straightforward business agreement for Star to speak at the Health and Beauty Expo -- nothing more. The contract was breached, so Star did not appear. Had Star known she would be speaking for charity, her fee would have been substantially reduced or eliminated and she would have been there to speak.

Star Jones is giving the big girls she allegedly dissed in Detroit a big fat you-know-what, saying that they were the ones who breached the contract, not her. And yesterday, on her Court TV show, she called allegations that she bailed out of her appearance "a nasty shakedown."


In a lengthy dossier including her own blow-by-blow of what went down with Full and Fabulous, Star says that though she got $10,000 from the group before her scheduled performance, she never got $15K more that she was owed. What's more, Star claims that she didn't get "the level" hotel that she requested when she went to stay in Detroit, nor was any ground transportation provided.

Star says that she and husband Al Reynolds paid for their Super Bowl weekend "at our own expense" and that she's still never received any loot for the appearance.

137. this woman has no credibility whatsoever. she has a history of shilling her personal life for "gifts" and showing up to freeload at parties to which she was not invited. the fatties who gave her 10 grand to speak to them need their heads examined. they paid for her superbowl weekend.

141. STAR, I thought you were smart. This will cost you far more than 10k in the long run. This shows a lack of class. Till you figure out it goes beyond money, you will go nowhere good.

143. How can you say in one breath that you received $10,000. and then immmediately sy you didn't get any money?

Star Jones sucks and should be boycotted by everyone.

Let her try to earn a wage as an actual attorney taking cases in an office for a while. She would lose more weight because it is an "eat what you kill" world and who in their right mind would hire her??????

145. Yep, unfortunately Star has already shown she is a taker by using The View to get freebies for her wedding so HEY STAR..........SHUT UP!!!!!!!!
You are so greedy and self serving that I (a stranger) am embarrassed for you.
You want to get back in to some people's good graces. Give the charity back every cent you took and then some...........you cannot redeem your self because you were a publicity hound who blackmailed your advertisers for crap for your fake wedding to a gay man. You should be blogging about what a b.it.ch you are...and judging from the clip of your show...Your one big B.I.T.C.H.
You will not get sympathy from anyone............................

146. Haha! Her voice still sounds like a fat lard.

147. She took the $10,000, took the free hotel room, took the free air fare. And we're supposed to feel bad that she had to pay for a few items out of her own pocket? If she didn't get the balance of what she was owed, she could have stayed home and sent the money and plane tickets back. Or why didn't she show up and ask for it when she got there. How stupid does she think people are??!! I hope that group sues her to get their money back. She's nothing but a thief and Court TV should cancel her show like A&E did to Dog. He used the N word in a private phone conversation. She commited a crime by taking money for services not rendered. She can put whatever dimwitted spin she wants on it but nobody is buying it. You don't have to be lawyer to know this was wrong!!

148. Star, you look like death eating crackers!

You looked better in your natural weight...

It was not a health issue! You did it for your pretty boy husband and self-ego!

Oh so sad...

149. She should be ashamed....I hope people just stop caring about her "celebrity" viewpoint and do not invite her to any additional programs - charity or otherwise.

Who cares?

150. Where is the evidence that Fat and Fabulous is a non profit ? Seems like all I've seen is that they are a FOR PROFIT group. Inasmuch, they certainly bear the responsibility to handle their end of a contract. They did not do so.

Most of what Star Jones does and says leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but it does not change the ever-growing evidence in this case, that she was in the right from a legal standpoint. She cannot be compelled to follow an ethical or moral standard not encompassed within the 4 corners of the contract.
