Both BW and SJ should take the high road! The past is the past, and each should move forward. Ms. Walters should have kept her long term affair with a married man to herself. She should have shown some respect for herself and the man's family. I must admit after reading Ms. Jones' comments regarding Ms. Walters need to sell her book may have some truth to it. Afterall, Ms. Walters have enough accomplisments in life to include in her book without including the "low life" aspects of her life. What are you telling young women in particularly? It's better to sleep around to get ahead at any cost!

Barbara Walters is staying quiet about Star Jones' recent comments on her new memoir, Audition.
Jones spoke exclusively to Usmagazine.com about Walters' tell-all, which chronicles her affair with a married senator in the 1970s. (Jones said Walters has been "reduced to branding herself as an adulterer ... for the sake of selling a book.")
When contacted by Us, Walters' rep said, "I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara's written words say it all!"

I am not surprised that Al and Star's marriage did not last. I am surprised that it lasted as long as it did. I cannot believe ANYONE would want to be married to a woman who is so self centered and demanding of everything to revolve around her. Star continuously tried to make The View her own show and was way too self righteous. Good riddance to her, and she should get a couple dozen of krispy kremes and fatten up - she looks like an alien!
Wow, someone's jealous or angry! Do you want a free wedding to? GET A LIFE!
LOL
Star Jones is nothing more than a media HO. The ONLY reason she had such a huge wedding was because she did NOT pay one red cent for it. In a sense she prostitued herself to get a free wedding. How cheap can you get? I wonder how all those "sponsors" feel now? It would not surprise me in the least if Jones-Reynolds is trying to get sponsors for her divorce too.
She never added any substance on THE VIEW. Before Hasselbeck got there, Jones was the big mouth who would raise her voice to be heard and would cut people off mid sentence any chance she got.
I am glad TRU-TV (formerly Court TV) got smart and ditched her. She isn't worth listening to anyway with her bigoted comments.
I too am from Brooklyn, but atleast I didn't become the neighborhood trash.
to 9:40pm, if you hate gossip, why are you even making a comment? You had to read this in order to comment. This whole thing between Star & Walters is a joke. Who cares about these people? Be concerned with your own lives viewers. These two people aren't doing anything for you. They aren't putting money in your pocket, they aren't taking care of you, so why should you all care who said or did what? Your concern should be with God. He's the one that's taking care of you. This kind of mess is just for TV, not for you!
I wish BOTH Baa-baa waa-waa and Star Jones would shut up! They each pretend to take the "high road", but anyone with an ounce of intellect is able to see the truth. They are both self-absorbed, and each would sell their soul to the devil for money. Oh, wait a minute - they already have!
Star Jones wouldn't know the truth if it hit her upside the head! Now she is trying to make you believe that Barbara Walters wanted her to lie about her weight loss. That doesn't even make sense . . . WHY would BW want that? Jones is the one who lied for months and months finally making some stupid comment about how she didn't want to be the poster child for bypass surgery. The poster child for liar of the year maybe, but she is giving herself entirely too much credit . . . what a joke she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find it contradictory when Ms Walters states how remaining silent about Ms Jones's private medical surgery put her and the View co-hosts in an uncomfortable situation. Yet on the Oprah show, she admits she and the View's producers told Star they'd go along with whatever Star wanted to say about her departure from the show. Wouldn't that have made them "uncomfortable" too?
So it's difficult to stay silent, um lie, about another person's medical business but it's easy to lie about their being fired? Hmm. This wouldn't be about selling a book, now would it?
That said, Ms Jones should have learned the first time around, she'd come out looking bad. She played right into Ms Walters hands and pocketbook with these comments.
Black, white - what the hell difference does it make? And as for whites trying to "be black" and blacks trying to "be white"...well I can call myself black if I want to but that won't change my race, heritage or my culture and that goes for every other person out there. Just be proud of who YOU are, admire others for who THEY are. Pretty simple. We don't all have to be the same, in fact our differences are what's really beautiful so appreciate it. Remember too that just as "white is white" and "black is black" that "ignorant is ignorant" too. Some of these posts are just insane.
Star Jones is a joke and has been since her wedding. Seems the little darling will do or say anything to keep her in the public eye and blame
everyone else for the screw up she makes of her life. Too bad. When she was an attorney and commenting on the OJ joke of the year trial she was actually pretty good.
"I have a beautiful cocoa complexion, my skin is flawless", lol someone needs a slice of humble pie! And that is YOU Sistah girl!
bebe betty I just don't understand, I was raised about 15 miles from where the KKK held meetings, when we played any type of sports against the school in that area we had to be escorted by DPS officers, not regular policeman. So I have seen racism and been apart of it. I don't cry about it, I learned what not to be and will teach my children. I am 30 years olds live in the fourth largest city in the US and I see more non BLACK Americans trying to embraces my culture ( from clothes, to cooking, to what we drive and please don't forget our music and not just rap, it goes as far as gospel music), yet other have the audacity to call my race uncivilized. Don't get me wrong, if you do the crime I believe you should do the time, not matter your race. It just hilarious and redundant for anyone in a glasshouse to throw stone. REALITY CHECK: If anyone researches their family tree/history I guarantee you will find a little Black American, Caucasian, Latin, Asian in their blood lines. Myself, my great great grandmother was Sioux and Irish and my paternal great great great grandfather was French and a true African his name was Poppa Sam. I have a beautiful cocoa complexion, my skin is flawless, with hair down my back like my mother and grandmother (its all mine nothing fake about it) and if I wet my hair it is wavy like an Indian but I relax/perm it so you tell me what pure BLACK American has those features, when I go out of town most people think I'm from India or a Muslim, GO FIGURE. All this race bickering is pure nonsense bebe betty. I am glad someone else can see it, thank you SISTAH-GIRL.

I apologize 7:15 anon...i misunderstood you!!!! I feel dumb...hope you come back on and read this; you were actually thanking me...have a beautiful day k? : )
I do not know why Barbara Walters does not just simply retire. She is too old, even older than my grandmother. She should leave room for younger journalists. She retired from 20/20 but kept coming back. If indeed she has had an affair with that senator then why now she brings it up. Is that for the purpose of selling her book? Who can be idiotic to read her book?
She is not a journalist like she used to be. When she interviewed politicians she stopped asking tough questions and/or asking tough issues. Instead she plays a brownnoser so that she can have more interviews with them later. It's disgusting. In addition, she giggles like a young girl. That makes her even more pathetic. Barbara, please retire, and get out of the limelight. If you are afraid that you may get bored then join some nonprofit organizations. I am sure that they can use your skills.
Barbara is doing the right thing. Star dug her hole, let her lie in it. Star always wants to be the center of attraction. Now the world knows. I am a black man and I cannot stomach (lol) her.
To 11:47pm when are you going to stop?
I feel it's the pot calling the kettle black, after all didn't Star pay for her wedding by advertising?
Can't believe it.
WHITE FOLKS ARE ALWAYS TANNING THEIR SKIN TRYING TO LOOK BROWN BUT THEY ALWAYS END UP LOOKING ORANGE.
I juat reading and came across Ssgt White*s comments and those who seem MAD at her. I will say that if anyone had taken the time to read ssgt white's posts she is simply stating NOT ALL BLACKS are bad and she tries to contribute to society that is it. She definately a strong black woman but not MAD at anyone. There were people on the site saying mean things about blacks. She used herself as an accomplished person who is black. I wish someone like that could talk some sense into ALL young America. Ssgt White stay positve and keep reaching out to these young people. By the way I am a strong White woman and a retired teacher. Have a pleasant evening Goodnight.

star jones simply can't stand not being in the spotlight... she thinks that making comments like this makes her controversial and edgy... but all it does is make her look ridiculous.
barbra walters is a world-renowned journalist who is beyond respected by her peers. she pioneered the way for female journalists. star jones is seen as a joke by her peers... as well as by the rest of the world.
period.
well, Barbara started this one...by saying thateveryone knew about Star's surgery and that Star made them keep quiet about it...That's actually pretty cheap of Barbara to disclose other pple's/former co-workers privaet medical information like that....Barbara had her last scandal in the 70s I suppose so she needed to dig deep to come up with SoMe "dirt"...BW had no business saying that about Star to begin with...so, now Star is defeniding herself, and BW is acting like Missy 2 good shoes...silly...pple really can be quite immature...even at that age still...wow....
I guess 11:05 Anonymous must not know what "(as a whole)" means. If you are still here it means inclusive not exclusive. But the bitterness of your tone comes in louder than the words you wrote. I've talked with blacks and whites, some with masters degrees, about this very subject for many years now. Funny thing is I have found just as many blacks who say they are not racist, but are, as I do whites. Do yourself a favor and read, "Racial Possibilities, the Negros of Arkanas." Written by D.B. Gaines, a black man, in 1898 and published by Philander Smith college, a black college.
Then maybe you can lose the attitude and discontinue your false accusations which breed nothing but ill will and discord while at the same time atempting to appear to be untarnished in your ideals.
10:30 - nice 2 c another Italian on here!!!!
I dislike them both but its pretty arrogant of Barbara Walters to slam Star Jones and then when she responds act all high and mighty and above it. Stupid.
Why do you guys always have to talk about race? Stick to the issue! Star dissed Bawbwa and she dissed her back. It's not about black or white...... It's about Star has a scary face and so does the other hypocrite Bawbwa!!! Look at those frankensteins! I can't stand Star b/c she's so damn annoying - u know - like Mariah Carey annoying and Bawbwa is full of sh*t.
I love reading & seeing the good stuff as much as the next person...but the reality is - it should be all in fun. However, where race became a part of this I'm not sure - because she had an affair with a black man?
Lets talk only of the fact that Star Jones is and always will be an exhibitionist. She knows by saying what she said would keep her in the forefront, why because if you stop and think about what she said about Barbara Walters "reduced to branding herself as an adulterer ... for the sake of selling a book." is no different than her selling herself to get her wedding paid for or should I say free publicity - which when it is all said and done - she is a smart "Black Woman" and knows exactly how to play and spin this game. Just as much Ms. Walters is a smart "White Woman" - lets look at this for what it is - and that is to keep us the viewer tuned in and them in the news! :)
PS. And I freaking HATE as a black woman when blacks or anyone for that matter say things like "people are trying to be black"...what the f*ck does that mean??? Like another poster said I listen to rock does that mean that I want to be white (the polo shirt comment is taking things too far-clothing doesn't make the woman or the man no matter the race) but am I trying to be white because I've grown up listening to rock, classical, etc.? Ignorance never dies I swear.
I wish that everyone (including 10:30pm no stone thrower) would get over their sh*t and stop presuming that ALL blacks and ALL whites feel the same way about a specific topic. Not all whites are racists and not all blacks feel the need to use slavery as a daily freaking crutch! I speak for me, no one speaks for this professional and educated black woman except for herself!!!!!! My friends are from different backgrounds, some affluent, some middle class. We laugh at all of the rampant ignorance that is unleashed on these message boards! Get the f*ck over it already. Stop hiding behind these sites and speak for yourselves and those who you know personally!!!!!!!
She probably thinks beacause kids listen to rap and dress a certain way the are trying to be black, which is actually offensive. So if a black person listens to rock or wears a polo shirt I guess they want to be white?
