Star Jones was a Food Addict

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:25:02 +0000

Star Jones appeared on an Oprah Winfrey show about losing weight in the public eye. Jones said in part on the show:

"I was an addict for all practical purposes, that I had never stuck to a real diet, that I’d never stuck to a real exercise program, and that when confronted by my doctor and the doctor said if you don’t make changes, you will die. I had no choice. When you hear people say, oh, you took the easy way out, I would have longed for an easy way. It was not an easy way. It was this, the hardest struggle of my whole entire life and I still struggle."

Losing weight IS an addiction that you can’t live without, yet if you over indulge it can kill you slowly. Maintaining a healthy weight takes a lot of energy and self discipline, and it can feel like a second job that takes a lot of the joy out of life. Having a friend, or group of friends, to diet and exercise with can create a support system that keeps you on track.

Valerie Bertinelli and Marie Osmond will also appear on the show to help inspire us into taking action in our own lives to lose the weight, and manage it once it’s off.

It’s hard to imagine that Al Reynolds could possibly want to give up Star Jones, who strutted around St. Barths last month in a bikini.

Star Jones Kissing Her New Man

Star Jones was at the U.S. Open on Tuesday kissing her new man. After kissing her new man, Star put her mouth all over her first love … food.

The guy is Herb Wilson, an executive chef at the Soho Grand and Tribeca Grand hotels in the NYC. Star loves a man who can cook.

Al Reynolds Speaks

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:20:25 +0000

Al Reynolds is speaking out on his divorce. He even made his own YouTube channel to vent whatever is troubling his soul. Among other things Al says:

I am not a homosexual.
I still very much love her [Star Jones]. I do. I can’t lie to you.
I feel like I’ve still got a little bit of healing to do.
He and Star had a prenup.
He and Star are not talking.

Blah blah blah.

Star Jones Hosts The Bad Girls Club

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:29:46 +0000

Star Jones had to referee Tanisha, on The Bad Girls Club, when another girl told her she was a cheese burger away from being obese. That girl was being nice, because Tanish is already obese, but she went off on the girl anyway. The truth hurts. No one can blame Tanisha for feeling insecure, but she needs to accept herself. Let those words bounce off.

Star Jones offered some testimony of her own telling Tanisha:

"If I punched every bitch who called me fat, it would be dead bitches all up and down the highway."

Star was insecure too. She even underwent a gastric bypass, then hid the fact, so she could get credit for her dramatic weight loss. It’s really frustrating to be fat, and feel like you can’t do anything about it.

HG is going to try to help our readers who are overweight, and want to make changes to lose the weight, and get healthier. We’re going to start a new section on HG to help you. All you need is the right information, because diets don’t work, but we know what does. Stay tuned.

Barbara Walters Still at War with Star Jones

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:20:38 +0000

Barbara Walters went on Larry King, and REALLY set the record straight about lying to protect Star Jones, when she didn’t want to admit she got a gastric bypass. Star tried to throw Barbara under the bus when Star hid the truth. Barbara on the other hand has the TRUTH on her side, and Star is lashing out because the truth hurts, a lot, and it’s obvious to see why. Star’s life may seem messed up, but she’s got money and talent, and she could turn lemons into lemonade, but she’s more interested in taking Rosie’s approach of attacking others for telling the truth. Since Barbara is already at war with Star, Rosie and Barbara are getting along great.

Star Jones Blasts Barbara Walters Over Bypass

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:39:49 +0000

Star Jones is, like Rosie O’Donnell, can’t sit still when someone says anything that even resembles some sort of criticism, as if she’s perfect, unlike the rest of us. Barbara Walters is selling a book named Audition, in which Barbara claims she lied about Star’s gastric bypass surgery to keep it a secret, because Star didn’t want to talk about it. Star sent out this statement yesterday:

"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."

The truth hurts when you are willing to face it.

Star ended her comment by saying:

"I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara’s written words say it all."

They sure do.

The video above and below are of Walters being interviewed about the book by Bill O’Reilly.

Star Jones Files for Divorce

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:20:16 +0000

Star Jones finally wised up and filed for divorce from her husband Al Reynolds. The paperwork was filed on March 26, and Starlet M. Jones versus Al S. Reynolds was marked as an "Uncontested Matrimonial" case by the court and the records were sealed. Star released the following statement:

"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."

What could have lead to the end of the marriage? For years Star vigorously defended Al against rumors that he was gay. The couple have been spending a lot more time together. Perhaps Star finally saw Al for what he really was, and it only took four years. Now Al has to find himself another meal ticket.

Star Jones and Al Reynolds Getting Divorced

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:27:31 +0000

The National Enquirer (via MSNBC) reports that Star Jones and Al Reynolds are separated and may be headed for a divorce. A source said:

“They hadn’t been seeing eye to eye for months and had already spent a great deal of time apart. Finally, Star decided it was over. She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out.’”

“Star never liked the fact that she was the breadwinner and support in the relationship. I think Star felt Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting. She resented it. Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her.”

It’s not like this is unexpected. Once the Star stopped bring home the bacon, I expect Al to divorce her, and get what he can before the money is all gone. Now all we need is a shot of Al going into a gay strip club, and we’ll know the gay rumors are true. It would be even worse for Star if Al came out and did an interview saying he left Star for a man, and finally found true love.

Star Jones Show Cancelled

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:22:57 +0000

The Star Jones Show, which only began in August, was cancelled by mutual agreement. Star Jones will remain with the TruTV network as a consultant. This is the kind of news that seems to have the same importance, as someone winning a bingo game at a nursing home.
