Star Jones Leaving 'View' For Exciting Opportunity To Wallow In Obscurity
We try to subject ourselves to ABC's menopausal kaffee klatsch The View as rarely as possible, though we have to admit we were looking forward to watching their latest loud-lady addition, Rosie O'Donnell, squeeze the living breath out of Star Jones with one giant, lesbian bear paw. Sadly, however, that display of alpha-gal dominance may not play itself out, as Page Six reports Jones is leaving the show:
ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at "The View," a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won't say is that she's being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show's grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O'Donnell.
The View made Jones the highly visible star she is, but the job has become but one subdivision of an ever-growing multimedia empire: From E! red carpet sycophant to non-best-selling memoirist, to tiny, interactive love guru, Jones is looking at a promising future filled with possibilities. And Jones' husband, Al Reynolds, hopes she picks one quickly because mani-pedis, Dolce & Gabbana leather pants, and premium-label poppers don't pay for themselves.

Although this news fills me with delight, it seems Babs is ousting the most heinously annoying woman in show business for the woman who ties her for the honour.

Let us hope Star is headed for obscurity! AOL constantly runs a series of "love lessons" she has written, and if I see one more, I think I'll lose my cookies. This woman never belonged on TV in the first place. As long as Rosie works within reasonable decibels, I can take anyone over Star. Don't you really expect her to say, "Tiffany is sponsoring my exit."

So much for any fights reminiscent of Godzilla versus Rodan.

as an avid tivo-er of the view, i was salivating at the mere thought of those two heifers going at it with elizabitch hasselblech as a tasty little neocon snack for the crazy one.
alas no.

You raise an interesting point, there, El. Liz is a proud Christian Bush-lover. Rosie a Bush-hating lesbian. Imagine the clashes!

If ABC is dumb enough to cancel Commander in Chief, they are dumb enough to realize that the Bitchfect 2006 cannot commence unless these two assclowns fail to hug it out morning after morning right before our very eyes. I know people say bitching does not equal ratings, but we aren't talking about bitching, we are talking about two HUUUGE be-yi-yi-eechs going to big fat head to big ass dino dome over morning miniutiae like Suri Cruise and the sponge. BRING IT!!!
