When Stars Get Ugly


For anyone who has better things to do than keep up with celebrity gossip, Star Jones Reynolds was booted off The View, and she's not going quietly. Instead of just leaving with dignity, SJR has decided to go on the offensive, giving an interview Tuesday, stating that she felt as if she'd been fired. Well, guess what girlfriend, you now are, since she was told by the producers not to come back to the show after all.

So much for the plans to give her a big send-off the way they did Meredith Viera a few weeks ago. See this is what I don't get. SJR apparently knew months ago that her contract wasn't being renewed, and instead of making peace with it, I guess she just stewed in her own juices until she couldn't take it anymore.

All because they hired Rosie O'Donnell. See, SJR felt that since Rosie had publicly dissed her, that hiring her for The View was a slap in the face. How long as this woman been in television? And why would you want to piss off Barbara Walters, the woman who helped make you? I guess SJR's ego has gotten bigger as she's gotten smaller.

See that was the reason she was allegedly let go, the audience for The View doesn't like her anymore since she spend an entire year regalling viewers with every intimate detail of her wedding.

And who knew that Barbara WaWa could throw down? All of a sudden, she let out her inner beyotch.

I don't know why we expect stars to act better than we do. I just think that if you're in the public eye, keep your mouth shut unless you have something really important to say. Sharing that your mother didn't call you to tell you your father passed away is information that I don't think that Tori Spelling needed to share with the world. There actually is such a thing as TMI.

Thanks for reading!

I competely agree. The smaller and more glamorous SJR gets the more arrogant! I never watch the view but was home on Wednesday and heard B. Walters comment on the "surprise" resignation. She was much classier!
