Star to Babs: I'm a Lawyer, You're a Slut

Star Jones and Barbara Walters are staging their own version of "The Hills" -- just 50 years later!

Star Jones unleashed a verbal ass-whooping on Barbara Walters today, telling Us Weekly, "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book ... It speaks to her true character."

Star is referring to the revelation Walters made that she had an affair with then-married Senator Edward Brooke during the 1970s -- and the fact that Walters claims in her new book Jones forced her to lie on "The View" about Jones' gastric bypass surgery.

For her part, Walters' rep refused to comment back, saying, "I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara's written words say it all!"

3. Barbara should have taken that, "affair with Senator Brooke", with her to the grave.

... and I'm sure Barbara has had an interesting enough life with her career to fill a book, without putting Star Jones in as page filler.

9. I agree. Barbara should never have revealed that secret.
It only served to hurt innocent people.

10. She's just pissed off because she doesn't want people to know the truth about her...funny because she seems to have crap to say about everyone else.Barabara goes about it the classy way, on Oprah. Star goes to a tabloid. Says wonders there

11. Can you imagine having Star Jones as your lawyer? Man, I would be so embarrased!
I hate that fat ass mother-effer, or should I say mother heifer!!!
Star, put the weight back on and drift back to obscuria!
Fat Bitch!
How's your gay husband?

12. Star Jones is a disgusting pig. Even with the weight loss she is STILL a pig! Everybody knows that she lied and lied during her last days on The View. And that is why the network couldn't get her fat ass out of there fast enough.

Who else but a stupid, disgusting pig marries a man whom EVERYBODY KNOWS IS GAY?!! Star, go and find something to do with yourself. Maybe you and Omarosa and Justin Guarini can start a has-been support group.

13. Barabar claims to care so deeply for other people...why would she hurt the Senators family and Star? It's all to sell her book, and she didn't have to include those things. Barbara should have let her career and accomplishments speak for itself. I won't buy the book.

14. I have to admit that I was a little disturbed that Barbara Walters would disclose an affair with a married man even if it was back in the 70's. It doesn't say much about her character or for the way she treats other people. I am not a fan of Star Jones but I have to agree with "my2cent" that surely she must have more interesting topics to put in her book than that of her relationship with Star Jones? Barbara should be embarrassed. In fact, I am embarrassed for you. Shame on you!

15. Star is the has been...
Barbara Walters has had the career those of us in the tvnews biz admire and respect...did she divulge too much to sell books? i don't know, it was her judgement call, not ours...
better to tell the truth then to tell everyone, doing pilates help the fat pig lose a ton of weight!
Star get a life!! she must be so pissed off she can't be on tv and so cannot get any freebies...wow she now has to pay her own way without mooching every company she can think of...
she should go back to being a lawyer, and return to chasing ambulances...that's her style TACKY TO THE MAX...
