this post falls under celebrity gossip, mostly, but it's about fat too

[fflo]

Star Jones is off that TV show, "The View." Rosie O'Donnell is going to be on it starting in the fall, and they have bad blood between 'em, one is given to understand. Now Rosie is kind of a dweeb, let's face it, but she's still fat, and she's out, and I like fat & openly lezbo, vs. sickly skinny from mutilation surgery you're not admitting, any day. That TV is in any way backing that preference makes me want to think Star Jones wasn't in hot water, or thought to be less palatable, for being a mouthy woman of color.

I don't think a reason is being given. But the link from Google News said she'd jumped the gun on leaking word of the planned fall departure by announcing it on-air, and the next day she was off the air & her name out of the credits, and I guess Baba Wawa said something indicating that they'd given her time to look for a job (as if those folks can't go a few months without income!) and that she'd chosen not to be dignified about it. Or words to that effect.

Kinda funny I follow TV-related news but almost never watch TV that's not on DVDs.

That is funny. I hardly watch TV anymore. When the new season of Law & Order starts, I'll watch that, I suppose. I wish Murder, She Wrote was still on, now that I'm old. I'm not old enough to be into Matlock, though, which I know is on in syndication.
