Star Jones Reynolds has been reportedly told that her services are no longer required. This should come as no real surprise as many speculated that she would be leaving once Rosie O'Donnell was signed to the show.
The New York Post's Page Six has the details: 'ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at "The View," a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won't say is that she's being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show's grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O'Donnell.
"It was always Rosie's condition of joining the show, and Barbara agreed to those conditions from the outset," our source said. The network and Jones are now concocting a face-saving scenario in which Jones will be touted as moving on to pursue important new projects.
Jones' camp yesterday denied the blustery babbler is going anywhere. "It's 100 percent not true. Where are you hearing this?" a rep for Jones said. A "View" flack echoed that. But those denials come on the heels of reports that Oprah Winfrey's best friend, Gayle King, may be in line to take over Jones' chair on the kitschy coffee klatch...."

I don't see her doing well is this gig blows up.

"...big bone headed talker... There, fixed it
"I've still got three tons of wedding cake left and it ain't gonna get eaten by itself!"
Yes, I know she's no longer a tubbo, but the fat has all gone and hidden inside that otherwise empty head of hers.
I believe the only goobers who really give a rip about this shakeup are liberals who are under the misguided notion that all cable news nets are conservative or mouthpieces of the GOP.
But two-of-four is an entirely different matter. Now, visually, the group looks more heavy than slim. You would look at a picture of them and say they are a heavyset group.
The View is being exquisitely careful to replace one African-American woman with another African-American woman, but they are not bothering to replace one heavyset woman with another. That just goes to show how one condition is societally protected and the other is not.
I wouldn't drag Rosie around if she bought the rope.
I dunno, OO7, they both look fat from this angle...
Oh, God . . . Star, Oprah, Rosie, Babwa . . .
Please, someone hijack this thread! Immigration, smoking, housing bubble, anything, I don't care!
HMMPH! Must be a slow news day if this gossip is all they have to worry about.
Like anyone's life actually revolves around this POC "show".
Is Star a lesbian?
Unconfirmed reports that ICE Director was caught smoking crack with illegal immigrants in an overpriced house purchased with an adjustable rate mortgage.
How's that?
ROFLOL, you really set yourself up for the above. And it was worth the laugh!
"Immigration, smoking, housing bubble, anything, I don't care!"
LOL! At least Rosie and Starr are both here legally, even though one is a lesbian!
(Did that help?)
I guess she is no longer needed now that theyve found an even bigger "Little round mound of sound"
All of this wouldn't be a problem if we had THE FAIR TAX!!!
The camera crew complained that the lens of the camera could not fit both Star Jones and Rosie O'Donut in the same shot.
Two BBW stars. (Big-Boned Women)
