Notable/Quotable: Star Jones

"If I punched every b**ch who called me fat, it would be dead b**ches all up and down the highway."


-- Former super-sized talk show hostess Star Jones (Reynolds) about a fight that ensued when one 'Bad Girls 2' star told another she was 'a cheeseburger away from being obese.' (Oxygen)

1. I guess her language "speaks to her character" or lack thereof.

2. BAD GIRLS CLUB IS A DISGRACE, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE STAR JONES STUPE THAT LOW TO HOST IT.

LORRAINE at 4:54PM on May 21st 2008

3. I think the BAD GIRLS CLUB is a show that let's the people who watch it check themselves out to see if they act like that and if so figure out ways to work on themselves and why not let STAR host she is a bad girl in her own right.

4. Star Jones is annoying to me, and it's really sad, because she really is a very accomplished Black woman, but she is more well known for all of her bad behavior and stupid comments.

Raymetria at 11:41AM on May 22nd 2008

5. Star Jones is a hot mess that needs to reelly just shut up.

Raymetria at 11:43AM on May 22nd 2008

6. Ok Star so u lose a lot of weight but look how u did it. then u lie about it for years. You don't look good u are ugly. You look like a bulldog in the face. you are very annoying. Ok your a smart women and you have money i take my hat off to you for those 2 reason.But please shut up about people weight and how they look. i can't belive after you got marry you was telling people how to find the perfect mate please your mate is gay. how deer you? i been marry for 36 years have 5 kids and 13 grandkids but i can't write a book about love.

Tonie at 10:22PM on May 22nd 2008

7. People (Star) who loose the weight, let it go to their HEADS (Literally). I am ao sick and tired of her lies too! She really has a FOUL mouth and it shows that she has NO CLASS!

"DimePiece" at 8:21AM on May 23rd 2008

8. Of course this dumb azz biotch had to do this show. What else is going on with her ??

trigga at 1:21PM on May 23rd 2008

9. I'm glad she lost the weight and I don't care how it is she did it! As for people saying she's "ugly" that's a matter of opion and unless she asked you -
yours does'nt matter. So what she lied about "how" she
lost the weight. People lie everyday to family, friends and people they see on a daily basis. Why? For
the same reason she did - to keep people who are niether family nor friends - out her "personal" buisness. I'm not rich, fat, nor famous but I be damn
if after busting my hump to excel in my profession
and reaping the rewards of that labor - whether riches or fame - I will let other's dictate to me what I should say, do, be or feel. Imagine, having to
endure daily insults simply because your famous? Your
not allowed to repond accordingly your expected to take
it all in stride. "It goes with the territory", right?
That's the "price" you pay for fame, right? Nonsense.
If you stop setting people up as "god" you'd be far less dissapointed when you learn their just like you!

10. I am really disappointed that Star opted to navigate her, heretofore stellar, career in this direction. Star is an accomplished attorney, television host and journalist. Even if it meant that she would have had to be unemployed for a while, she would have been better off going that route rather than subjecting her reputation and career to this low-level television programming. I am sure Barbara is relishing this latest development in Star's career. I really hope that Star re-evaluate her career choices, and put some thought into how she will manuever back to victory. Going through a downturn in her career and her divorce must be mentally, emotionally and spiritually draining. She is our sister and we need to support and uplift her, not debase her in her time of need. I wish her all the success in the world.

11. Can we just keep our comments centered around the remark that Ms. JOnes made. I am totally shocked and appalled at the remark she made. Stars has too much class and old fashioned rearing to bring herself down to some idiot's level. As far as her looks goes I am sure dhe does not look for any validation from any of you people (#6). People probably think that you look worse then a bulldog. Star was a gorgeous plus size woman who lost weight through surgery. Big deal!!!!! Other races uses surgery as a means for beauty everyday and I do not see anyone throwing them under a bus. SO lay off of that educated sister!!!

12. Miss star keep on pushing

ruby white at 12:33AM on May 25th 2008

13. It was within the context of the show. She was responding to Tanisha's outburst and Tanisha used the B-word. Star response was to Tanisha using the language she previously used.

You guys are sooo judgmental without accurate knowledge. Relax!

14. She's got issues.

Rick at 2:07PM on May 26th 2008

15. Did she get blacker when she lost her fat?

Yo Mama at 2:08PM on May 26th 2008
