This IS news!

I was certain that Star was Al in drag.

Thankfully, I was picking up grandchildren and making a batch of banana bread, so I missed this soap opera. (I would have anyway, though, because I depend on you.)

When are you taking a vacation? I am beginning to worry about your IQ being depleted if you watch too much more of this junk!

"some of the journalistic values on display were eye-brow raising"

The MSM has no journalistic values. All they do is gossip and sling mud.

Well, in this case, it isn't hard news, it's just a personality profile. And Star had the same operation Al did, and she was horribly overweight and now has her life back thanks to the surgery.

So it's not surprising that Al and Star have a "connection". I liked the interview, and I NEVER watch the Today show.

I expect most of the media to be against Star since Rosie O'Donnell is on the other side (Barbara Walters as well, but it's Rosie that is driving this hatred).

In fact, that is the real story here -- how the left once again was not content to just have their way with someone they no longer liked, but instead had to destroy them. We saw it in the recent Webb/Miller primary where by the time it was done Webb himself was calling his DEMOCRAT opponent, a long-time democrat supporter and money source, "The anti-christ of outsourcing".

The left has lost all perspective, and seems h*ll-bent on crushing all who stand in its way -- or even who bother them.

Well, to try and be fair here, they were both obese people.

Al Roker had the surgery so it would make sense for Star to contact Roker about what to expect regarding the surgical procedure, doctors to choose. IOW they are buddies.

Knowing that the TODAY SHOW's audience is primarily women...as is The View...well, you know what I mean.

Clear as mud, right?

The extent of my knowledge of Star Jones or Barbara Walters or "The View" is what I happen to read from Drudge headlines. Someone please correct me if I'm missing something: Star Jones is a formerly obese black TV personality. She subsequently lost alot of weight, apparantly because of surgery. She recently has been informed that because her personal popularity ratings are going downhill, she's getting sacked from "The View".

My question is this: Is there a connection between her dramatic weight loss and her declining popularity? In other words, do the mindless masses who actually watch crap like "The View" prefer Star Jones as the obese celebrity they've come to know over the years? Is this new slimmed-down model actually perceived by the audience as some strange interloper who has displaced their lovable, cuddly Star?

In all fairness. Al Roker had gastric bypass surgery and was the perfect personal resource for Star.

I see nothing wrong with him reaching out to her while she contemplated that surgery for herself.
