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!"

243. Oh come on. How can anyone think that what she did with a married man was noble. She is disgraced by her own mouth.

245. Star Jones could very well DIE BEFORE BARBARA, considering the way this big, fat, gross glutton abused her body for years! She is a pretentious cheat and no better than a common thief imo. She charged a lavish trip to the Super Bowl game for herself and her homosexual husband to a women's group she had a contractual speaking engagement with and failed to appear. The group sued, won and TMZ reported Star Jones refused to pay the judgment against her.

247. Walters is obviously in desperate need for attention. She uses "The View" and her puppet co-hosts to give her book more
air-time. She is so narcissistic. At her old age, she needs to see a psychiatrist. Its all about her world, her father who owned nightclubs, how she felt guilty and ashamed about her retarded sister, her now notorious affair with a high-powered ranking official ... oh how her ego loved that! WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!SHE'S JUST A GLORIFIED REPORTER!!!! She is no different from the media today who use people for their own selfish purpose. She is a whore.

248. Baba Wawa hasn't been a respected journalist in decades. Her fawning over celebrities does NOT qualify her as a journalist (does anyone consider Larry King to be a journalist?) She is a whore for attention...someone put this old nag out of her misery...PLEASE.

249. How do ANY Of you know Barbara has hurt this man's family??? Has anyone from his family come forth against Barbara? Nope. Stop speaking for his family. Obviously they know about this affair, as it happened 30 some odd years ago. Listen, I'm no big Babs fan, but I think what she put out there took guts. Do I agree with her choice to have an affair with a married man? Of COURSE NOT! But am I going to crucify her for being honest in her memoirs? No. I don't care how she got where she is, be it by stepping on people's toes, or sleeping with them, she has opened up some doors for the women of this country to the media world.
People should try not to be so judgmental about something she chose to do. If you had lived a life that was full of fame, you'd be writing your memoirs too. And if you could have what she has (fame and fortune), I know a MAJORITY Of you all would be doing what they could to get it. I don't understand how everyone here can take this honesty and turn it all around and be so "holier than thou". Give me a break. NO ONE Here is innocent enough to judge her. We've all made bad choices in life. No matter what it has to do with. It was our choice, and it was her choice to come forward about her life.

250. At least Barbara sleep's with real men. Not 1 pretending they love to love you when you and AL both know that he really like's men. Get over youeself Star. Barbara is a true Star. Your light has gone out. Get over it and shut the only thing fat still left on you. Your mouth. Stick some food in it. That will shut your fat mouth.

254. Come on, We All knew months ago How Star actually lost the weight. It already came out in public. So Barbara wrote in her biography the difficulites it created and how Star wanted everyone on the Set to lie for her.
Star don't get offended when people won't lie for you.
