Sometimes You Should Lie to Save Your Star-dom

Star Jones Reynolds has been appearing in entertainment magazines in the past year more than Michael Jackson has appeared in court, but this latest story is almost the best. Star Jones has lost some serious weight, become a super gigantic bridezilla, got married to quite a good looking man, and made it last for over a year, and has gotten plastic surgery to fix her flabby skin, the one thing Star Jones hasn`t done this last year is get a new job.

The entertainment journalist/star, has been appearing on "The View" for 9 years now, and it seems that ABC has had just about enough of the big mouthed star as the rest of the world. Star Jones may be funny, entertaining and uh, well, a bunch of more positive things, but one thing that she is not, is tactful. When ABC told her that they will not be renewing the contract for another year, they assumed that the actress would keep quite to save face.

However, this is about as far from the Star Jones we know as physically possible. This past Thursday, Star was being interviewed by entertainment journalist Larry King, when she announced that ABC told her to make up a "lie" about not returning to "The View" and that neither Barbara Walters nor the other show`s staff would care what story she told. "They said you can make up a story," Reynolds said. "The audience didn`t deserve for me to make up a story. That`s not fair." Whether or not these claims are true is yet unknown, however, it would probably be smarter for Star to close her mouth for just a little bit longer.
