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.

well, guess `Star's' contract wasn't renewed - and she just thought
that meant she was `fired'. her announcement was a shock to Barbara
Walters - it was going to be announced later in the week that she
wasn't coming back...the talk has been that Star was the bad seed
of the group, and the viewers didn't like her (i think she looks
terrible now). I like Rosie, too. but I never watch it, unless I'm
home sick, or at home during the day (which isn't often) [this was all
on the news last night]

Hey, I for one am quite glad to be me, vs. Rosie OR Star. :] But I'm also quite pleased to have your stewardship for the little fellas.

Must say, though: this is hardly a big road trip. I consider it a zippy jaunt. And me, thus, a zippy jaunter.
