The Ladies Now That Clinton vs. Obama Has Been Decided…
posted by on May 8 at 12:28 PM
we can turn our attention to the celebrity deathmatch being waged between former View host Star Jones and View creator and star Barbara Walters.
Round One: While appearing on Tuesday’s Oprah Winfrey Show to promote her new, adultery-admitting memoir, Barbara Walters reveals that Star Jones required her View co-hosts to play dumb about her obvious-to-anyone-with-eyes gastric-bypass surgery. “We had to lie on the set everyday because she said it was portion control and Pilates,” Barbara told Oprah. “Well, we knew it wasn’t portion control and Pilates.”
Round Two: The day after the Oprah broadcast, Star blasts Babs to US magazine: “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. It speaks to her true character.”
Round Three: Contacted by US for a statement, a rep for Barbara Walters said, “I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara’s written words say it all.”
As for choosing a winner and a loser: Star’s zinger about Barbara’s impending death was indeed impressive, but still, it came from the yap of Star Jones, so—WINNER: Barbara Walters! (And who knew she was a checkerboard chick?)

David, this is ridiculous. That was a knockout punch by Star Jones.
Don't lie. :)
i have to agree with g.a.f. @ 1.
Babs likes chocolate in her milk, Star likes queer with her coffee.
Yeah, but what do Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell have to say about it?
they're both shrill harridans who debase our culture. i wish they never existed.
Is it just me, or does Star Jones look like the ugliest drag queen ever?
And I thought I was tired of the endless Obama versus Clinton posts.
always liked baba wawa ok and never gave star much thought but star's comment kicked butt. It was worded pretty damned good.
i have to side with david here. very few celebrities suck harder than star jones. she needs to pick a fight with someone in her own league, like elizabeth hasselbeck or robin williams.
You're not going to beat Barbara. If not for her experience in this field, but for her delivery.
barbara's comment(s) was a fact and wasnt negative. also, star jones, you married a gay man. WTF.
Checkerboard chick??????? Really?
they both suck. barbara was raking star over the coals because star wouldn't own up to her gastric bypass, yet miss wawa won't admit to numerous face lifts and botoxing.
The View has sucked since they tossed Debbie Matenoupolis overboard.
How did they not get to the rumor that Walters played the role of George Washington on HBO's John Adams?
Barbara should have distanced herself from The View a long time ago. I lost so much respect for her over that trashy show. And now she's admitted to adultery? Hey, none of us are perfect but we're not trying to profit from hurting others. Star doesn't deserve to be famous, IMHO, but she blew it out of the water with her comment about Babs. It was perfect. Winner: Star.
Is Star Jones' ex really gay? Or just some rumor that has become popculture concrete?
Babs is fighting back. She has a long Baba Wawa article in this month's Vanity Fair.
I like her better as a brunette.
@16 her husband is one of those "former" gay guys who was "cured" of his sin of sucking cock.
16 - he married star jones. what more proof do you need?
