Star Jones is returning to her old stomping ground — and it only took five and a half years!
The legal eagle, one of the five original co-hosts of The View, will return to the morning gabfest next month for the first time since she was famously fired in 2006.
Star Jones is making such a splash as this year’s resident “Bitch on Wheels” on the new season of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice that we nearly forgot that she was once unceremoniously ousted from the cast of the Emmy-winning ABC gabfest The View! It’s been a long time since Jones came face-to-face with Babs Walters and the rest of The Menopausal Mafia, so were ecstatic to be a fly on the wall as Star and her former View co-host Joy Behar sat down for the first time since Star’s last day at The View back in 2006. The former frenemies talked about what it was like to be fired from the popular talk show, Star’s new book Satan’s Sisters, and if she would ever consider returning to the show that kicked her out on her once-obese rump.
If Star Jones’ faceoff with the girls of The View had you on the edge of your seat, just want until you get an earful of how ugly her feud with actress Lisa Rinna has gotten.
Jones, a former legal eagle, has hired her own team of fancy suits after her Celebrity Apprentice teammate reportedly began cyberstalking her on the Interwebs.
Look out, Ladies of The View: Star Jones is planning to dish the deets on backstage dirt in a thinly-veiled work of fiction based on her decade-long tenure on one of daytime TV’s most popular gabfests.
Revenge? Hell hath no fury like a fat girl scorned! We’ve learned that Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books imprint has purchased the rights to Jones’ debut novel, The Lunch Club, premiering later this year. The book shadows a group of popular TV hosts who “learn that a former colleague — who departed under mysterious circumstances, and is privy to all their backstage secrets — is coming back with a splash,” The New York Post tattled on Thursday.
