Star Jones just obliterated Barbara Walters!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080508/ap_en_ce/people_star_jones

NEW YORK - Nearly two years after Star Jones left "The View" on rocky terms, the 46-year-old TV personality has criticized former boss Barbara Walters for writing about her.

In Walters' new memoir, "Audition," she discusses how Jones wouldn't acknowledge her gastric bypass surgery on the air. She also writes about Jones' lavish wedding, which wound up alienating viewers as Jones accepted gifts in return for promotion.

"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," Jones told Us Weekly magazine.

1. Star jones is very creepy and I'm not sure how she sleeps at night.
She really has no room to talk about much of anything. JMO

2. Too bad it wasn't mutually assured destruction.
I'm missing Boston Legal tonight because of a Baba Wawa special, featuring...
Baba Wawa!

7. I remember when Conan O'Brien used to crack jokes about Star Jones, and afterwards he'd always sing
"I'ma gonna go to hell when I die, I'ma gonna go to hell when I die..." while clapping along.

Aren't they both completely worthless pieces of shit? Let them throw shit at each other until the end of days. It won't make a difference.

12. "It speaks to her character" - yes, it speaks of a person of integrity and honor and humanness.

Unlike you, Star Jones, who has none of those. And I don't say that solely because you turned a sacred event (a wedding) into a consumerist free-for-all. That is only about 1% of your disgusting, microbial awfulness. And I also say that in full knowledge that Baba Wawa isn't all that wonderful, either. But compared to you, she's a million Virgin Marys.

You, Star Jones, are the microscopic filth that grows on the evil bacteria that lives on smegma.

15. ...
"You, Star Jones, are the microscopic filth that grows on the evil bacteria that lives on smegma."

Quite possibly the best insult I have ever hear. EVER.

13. She obliterated the Barbara Walters who...
overcame all those odds to become the first serious female TV reporter and anchor?

The Barbara Walters who has interviewed just about every President in my lifetime and most of the interesting world leaders?

The Barbaba Walters who just a year or so ago interviewed Fidel Castro?

The Barbara Walters who publicly complained that she had to interview celebrities in order to justify her contract, as those those celeberity interviews "paid" for the interviews of world leaders she preferred but the public and the network ignored?

The Barbara Walters who then quit 20/20 because they made her interview that La Tournoue woman instead of the President?

Was it that Barbara Walters, or some other one who could be more easily oblitered by this wannabe?

14. Thank you
I am not a huge fan of Barbara Walters, but her achievements speak for themselves. Star Jones is not even good enough to carry water for Barbara Walters.

18. The Barbara Walters who
was on Letterman soon after 9/11 and said, "Who knows who's responsible," then, in a stage aside, "probably Clinton."

24. Barbara had an awesome career and legacy but she has jumped the shark
in recent years. It's sad, but true.

20. Since BaBa's "Monica Special" I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire.
I got her ads for her Monica Lewinsky interview pulled from two corporate web sites in one day: rather proud of that if I do say so.

23. Walters just 'had' to interview that....
scum who assassinated John Lennon.

The MSM had been great about not mentioning
his name so as not to bring that pos any publicity.
But Walters said she was going to do the
interview for 'the public interest'...like she was
concerned for the public or something.

I never liked her, but after that she became the
ultimate 'media ha oar' as far as I am concerned.

That show had lower than expected ratings.

26. "It speaks to her true character"
People who throw enormous, corporate-sponsored weddings have ZERO business lecturing other people about class.
