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

Posted Nov 6th 2007 8:50AM by TMZ Staff

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.

16. Um, Star, do you really believe ANYBODY believes ANYTHING you say after the "I Lost All That Dieting" fiasco?

17. My word. You would think she would be happy that anyone wants her to appear on anything. And I don't understand why they would want her, considering she elected for surgery rather than a healthier way of losing the weight. Many have done it the healthy way before. Now she just looks like an alien with too big of head and huge eyes. I think her skin is falling off. She looked much better when she was overweight. I cannot believe I just said that, but it's true. Didn't get the level of hotel she wanted? Awww, puddin'

18. i like how she specifies that she received no ground transportation, but doesn't say anything about the plane tickets. So the way i understand this, the bitch took plane tickets and ten grand and then flew to detroit for a personal pleasure trip on power performers dime. She justifies this because... she wasnt paid before hand?? and because the hotel wasnt good enough for her liking????

21. Alright people close your eyes and pictures that body NAKED with all that loose skin hanging everywhere, boobs down to her knees, knees down to her ankles. Now open your eyes and think would this person lie? Is this person trustworthy, honest or straightup?

22. Please Court TV Get rid of her!!! I would rather watch a trial that was 5 years old than her. Let's bring back Live Court TV Trials at least until 5 PM EST...

23. A contract is a contract and all agreements have to be met by both parties and it was not.
Star is an attorney and she is going hire reps that know the law and protect her. She is so right about the tabloids hoping Britney hurts herself and/or her children and they get it FIRST on tape.

24. Star, You can talk all you want but the FACT REMAINS THAT YOU STILL HAVE THEIR TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! This woman with Full and Fabulous may not have been the brightest bulb in the pack, but the girls didn't deserve you ignoring them AND TAKING THEIR MONEY. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR DOING NOTHING!!! I understand the contract. But GOD FORBID...YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN THE HIGH ROAD AND DIDN'T! You SPEW on and on about being godly and doing what's right! YOU COULDN'T SHOW UP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUNG WOMEN'S LIVES FOR TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS??? It goes to show that they made the wrong choice in inviting you to begin with! You should be ASHAMED!!!! All of this backlash is DESERVED! And you won't be able to wash it off!!!

28. Ok, so she took the flight, stayed in the hotel, took the $10,000, but didn't bother to stop by for some inspirational speaking that she should've done for free? She was obviously going to the superbowl anyways for the corndog eating contest in the parking lot anyways. What a fat lazy slob.

29. Did she give the 10K back to the organization or what?

30. Love how she says she won't use her show to talk about herself, the proceeds to talk about herself. I have not watched Court TV since she came on. Catherine Cryer was so much better. I don't see where this Star woman has talent. I hope they can her soon! She is so phony!
