Apologies in Advance
I'm afraid I'm going to have to talk about Star Jones for a little while.
First of all, she is hilarious. Not intentionally, of course, but just by living her wig-encrusted, gay-husband-adorned life. She has lost about ten million pounds and looks like she has come to us from another planet, and not necessarily in peace. She does celebrity red carpet "interviews" where she calls exceedingly famous people by the wrong names and often refuses to let them get a word in edgewise. She had a wedding that looked more like a My Super Sweet Sixteen. And she's a lawyer, although she lost the case of people v. good taste and decency a long time ago. So much fun.
And now she has the best celebrity exit since Tonya Harding cried her way off the ice through the lingering strains of the Jurassic Park soundtrack with an unfastened skate. I mean, seriously, how bad do you have to be to piss off Barbara Walters? She would do a soft focus interview with Pol Pot, if she thought the ratings would be there. She endured John Stossel for years on 20/20 without so much as smacking him senseless. Clearly, a model of restraint.
Of course, the whole thing is incredibly tacky, but doesn't it beat those teary-eyed montages for Katie Couric by a long shot? Personally, I think they should've just moved to another studio and not told her.
