Weekly Star Jones Bulletin
The women of The View call Star's departure "liberating." Meanwhile, in this article, she's sorry for being a Bridezilla, and she also comes a little closer to admitting her weight-loss surgery:
"Asked about the issue by [Al] Roker, who himself has undergone gastric bypass, Reynolds would only say that 'a medical intervention, doctors, had to step in to save my life.' And she said found it 'disheartening' that ABC 'would use something so private ... at this moment.'"
There's also a website taking bets on what Star Jones will do next, as reported here. And finally, this well-written article is a little kinder to Mrs Jones Reynolds.
"But most of all, there’s something creepily apt about the way this particular girlie transformation has gone awry. Jones Reynolds originally cast herself as the jolly, yearning fat-girl neighbor and mouthy best friend. When she tried to remake herself—literally—as the heroine, she seemed to get it all wrong... In the pages of Us Weekly, you’ll be eternally too fat or too thin, but never just right."

I'm no fan of SJR's, but this statement about female celebrities is right effin' on the money.
I agree with the previous poster that nobody will ever be just right by Hollywood Standards (which are pretty much made up as you go along).
Forgive me for being snarky here, but who gives a flying f--k if Star had the surgery or not?
Or is it more to do with the fact that she refuses to acknowledge that she had help with her weight loss?
Personally, I am so frustrated with trying to lose weight (despite good eating and going to the gym, the scale is not budging)that having to listen to any Hollywood personality talk about how much they lost just ticks me off. After all, they can afford personal chefs, personal trainers, and surgery while I'm stuck taking the scenic route!
OK....venting finished. Time to take a Prozac!

Everyone who talks about her, that's who. I mean, think for a minute. Who is this person? They're not your neighbor, not your cousin. You've probably never talked to them, and they're not going to write you a letter. They're a complete stranger. So why do we care at all?
