FACEBOOKNot all of us all who think Star is a phoney are big, fat pigs. I've never weighed over 120 lbs. in my entire life. This is not about jealousy - who the heck cares what she is doing and who the heck she was before "The View"? It was Barbara who gave her the opportunity to be on her show and be somebody. Star is the one that worked hard to portray herself as a "diva" and as a "know it all" and obviously couldn't let her ego tell the truth about how she lost 160 pounds. Instead, chose to "fool" the public into believing she did it by exercise and diet (YEA!). She made her own bed...she should disappear into the sunset where she came from (and keep her mouth shut on the way).
Star Jones: I Didn’t Want to Die Fat
Thursday August 16, 2007
Thursday August 16, 2007
Star Jones Reynolds is celebrating her fourth anniversary -- but it's not what you think.
"This Sunday will be four years exactly that I walked into a hospital and had gastric bypass surgery," she said on Good Morning America on Thursday. "I didn’t want to die fat. Because that's not happy."
Reynolds sat down with Diane Sawyer to talk about losing 160 pounds (“a whole human being”) and why she refused to admit to having had the surgery.
Reynolds, 45, whose new show Star Jones premieres on Court TV on Monday, credits therapy with pushing her to come clean. She also confessed that she had a breast lift and skin removed from her stomach.
Why didn't she reveal the truth earlier? "[I was] scared out of my mind,” she says. "I was ashamed, I was fearful, I was hurt."
She continued: “So I said 'medical intervention,' which was the truth, but it wasn't the full truth. It would have been so much easier to simply say I had this weight loss surgery, but I couldn't do it."
The former View cohost said that she had hoped she could simply avoid the subject.
"I somehow thought I could just say 'I am going to be private with that,'" she said. "Because I knew I would never lie."

Star is a phoney - she has no right to talk about Barbara and what she did. Additionally, for her to refer to B as being in her "twighlight" years is an insult in itself. Barbara is by far healthier than Star has ever been. Her wedding photos were disgusting - way over the top - completely tasteless. I was so glad when she left The View - she and Rosie O are both disgusting, rude and self-serving, rude women. They were lucky to have made so much money because they're both talentless.

Everyone on this post, save for the obvious few intelligent persons... makes me sick. You all are jealous, probably overweight, ugly, miserable (at home and at work), stupid, leveraged out the a**, voted for bush, still think osama had something to do with 9/11, good for nothing, feeding your kids mcdonalds pieces of sh**! i would like to ask you all to politely and quietly go out and slit your own throats with the latest transcript from TMZ. And don't have a bunch of kids before you finally do it.

God, you people are something else. So, if Star had copped to having the surgery and then people went out and insisted on it and someone died, then you'd be all over her case for promoting surgery over diet....it was lose/lose for her! At least she wasn't touting diet pills (or fake ones, as it were) like Dr. Phil!

4:35, so if you had a boob job, do you think you'd need to tell the children/co-workers/fellow church goers in your life because they "look up to you"? Sorry, I don't buy it, I'm with Star on this one.

I don't want to know evertime a celebrity has surgery for appendicitis, polyp removal or whatever. I do think that if a celebrity does something to drastically alter there appearance there fans want to know. Many young women with body image issues look up to these people. Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) said she had to tell because all of these women came up to her and said how great she looked after having four kids. She said "I had lipo, a tummy tuck and a breast lift.". She didn't want people who looked up to and respected her to think she did it simply with diet and exercise.

1:41...if we're to "require" every celebrity to tell us every time they have surgery, the rag mags would be double the size they are now if we have to hear about every prostate cancer, polyp-removing, appendicitis, gallbladder surgery out there, not to mention all of the plastic surgery...seriously, what business is it of ours?

Star became the shrinking woman before our very eyes and that makes her a public figure and public figures do owe us an explanation. Star is not the lady down the street working in the DMV, she was on TV every day and the more she the avoided the subject the more controversial and negative the situation became, Star should have said from the beginning that she had found a way to save her life and hopefully her viewers who identified with her weight issues would do the same, that is called responsibility. But no she started wearing mini-skirts, baring her cleavage and running behind movie stars who are actually beneath her if you compared them by education.

Why didn't just say that to start with, she could have helped so many other women facing weight issues. But no, she was in some state of denial like she has always weighed 150 lbs. Her admission goes a long way in restoring her credibility with many of her fans but not moi. She needs us to watch her program so it won't get cancelled.

I don't know why anyone thinks Star owes them the truth. It's her life, it's her business. If she didn't want to share it, I understand that and don't care. It's also good that she feels comfortable sharing now. But if she didn't before it's so not a big deal. This isn't something that should affect other people or that they should be mad at her for not discussing earlier.

12:39 I disagree....weight loss surgery is NOT a criminal offense or a matter of public record, what one chooses to keep private is up to them. Celebs don't owe us the key to their diaries, despite what you think
