THE 
May 8, 2008 The Smack Down Has Been Layeth!
Love muffins, do you think there will be a round 4 regarding the drama between Barbara Walter and Star Jones?
Round 1: In Barbara Walters new book, Audition, she opened up about the lie she and the other co-hosts on The View had to keep regarding Star Jones’ gastric bypass surgery. On Tuesday, Barbara was interviewed by Oprah and Barbara stated that Star “was clinically obese…She could barely walk onto the set…(The co-hosts on ‘The View’) had to then lie on the set everyday, because she said it was portion control and pilates.” View the clip on Oprah. Whoa…Barbara is spilling the beans, making the room extra funky.
Round 2: Then on Wednesday, Star shot back at Barbara. “It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book,” Jones told Us. “It speaks to her true character.” Usmagazine. Star comes back with a right hook! Hi-yah!
Round 3: Barbara Walters had an interview with Entertainment Tonight today and mentioned, “I didn’t see the statement. I have very good memories of Star, and I’d like to keep it that way.” Barbara mollywhopped Star right back with kindness. I love it!
As the drama unfolds, don’t miss the next episode of As Hollywood Turns.

I dont know much about Barbara or star, but Barbara sounds like a biatch; bragging about an AFFAIR with a MARRIED MAN!!! Thats not something to be proud of, she should be ashamed of herself for breaking a marriage.
And now shes airing out Star’s businesss; though star shouldnt have lied about her weightloss, its none of Barbs business to use such things in her book! Thats just bad

Did Star ever lie about her weightloss. From my memory, she just never said how she lost the weight. But anybody could figure out that a woman of her past size does not shrink to her current size over that short a period time just by exercise and food moderation.

Star Jones NEVER lied about the surgery…
she said Nothing… we all knew… she waited to confirm.
She did tal about how she ate less ( she HAD to) and her exercise plan ( true)
withholding is not lieing but not truthful.
Barb talked about anti ageing products and make up tips but never mentioned her facelifts.
Talk about that

I have to agree with Star on this 1.. (even though I think she is extra extra) but Barb had no business putting her situation on blast like that !.. and like Star said..it’s sad that in the “Sunset” of your life you are making urself look like a nasty homewrecking hussie to sell a few paperbacks..
Worth it??
I think not Boo..

I’m siding with Star on this one. I love Barbara, but she should have kept her mouth shut about Star. What Star did in private was her business. If she didn’t want to tell anybody about her surgery, she didn’t have to. They didn’t have to talk about it on The View. I miss Star being on that show. She provided a nice balance. I don’t like that there are three comics on the show now. Sherri could go. As much as I try to like Sherri, she really annoys me. I’ve been her roll her eyes at Elizabeth several times. Grow up woman!
I also agree what Barbara didn’t need to tell everybody about her affair. It’s been 30 years. Who really cares?

Barbara Walters is a nasty gutter-butt trollop! Having an affair with a married man? Then coming out about it decades later? Pure F-U-C-K-E-R-Y!!!!! That is some ISH she should have kept to herself. I’m glad Star Jones snapped back at her ass. It is that woman’s personal business if she wanted to keep her surgery a secret. She was not hurting anybody by doing that. Barbara has probably destroyed several lives by exposing her affair. This ISH is ridiculous. Mrs-Senator-chick needs to come and straight molly-whop her ass for that.
LOL at Star Jones “in the twilight of her life”. Nice Star, nice.

Barbara Walters is a COWARD.
She has a nerve to wanna reveal someone elses secret surgery. She probably will never mention that she had breast cancer and would make the clinic open extra early so she can come in incognito. Then she goes on to be interview by Robin on Good Morning America who is overly courageos revealing her cancer and ditching the wig. Not saying a single word that she too is a survivor Barbara WaaWaa is a coward I repeat.
