Star vs. Barbara

Star Jones Responds to Barbara Walters' Memoir
BY USMAGAZINE.COM

celebs: Barbara Walters Star Jones Reynolds

Star Jones is speaking out against Barbara Walters for including her in her new memoir, "Audition."

In the book, Walters claims Jones forced her to lie about her gastric bypass surgery on "The View." Walters also reveals that she had an affair with then-married Senator Edward Brooke during the 1970s.

Usmagazine.com caught up with Jones (who recently split from husband Al Reynolds) as she left a tennis workout in NYC Wednesday.

"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," Jones told Us. "It speaks to her true character."

OK. Can we back up a bit?

First of all, Star Jones is a publicity hog and I'm sure it is killing her that Barbara is getting a bunch of mileage out of the book.

2nd, Star is the one who pimped out her wedding by getting companies to donate their services and merchandise in return for Star talking about them and promoting them. So why is she upset with Barbara for using her name in the book to sell books?

3rd, I thought Star was going into quasi-seclusion since she is going through a divorce and doesn't want a bunch of attention?

"Pot. I'd like to introduce you to Kettle. Oh, and have you met Cauldron?"

Word Of The Day

"The reason they accepted Andy's statement is because Andy said he did it, and that's fine. Everybody put it aside," Hardin said. "What they're upset with Roger about is that he has denied it. If he had denied it the first day, the opinions would have been no different, and we would have been a lot less informed as to the weaknesses of the report and what balderdash this stuff is."

Balderdash
bal·der·dash –noun

1.senseless, stupid, or exaggerated talk or writing; nonsense.
2.Obsolete. a muddled mixture of liquors.

I can actually relate to both definitions.

Very little communication from the Titanic today. I do know that the ship is still floating. If anyone onboard is reading this, you might think about buying this:

It is an inflatable life jacket and it comes in green!!!!

Ramblings Of A Caffeinated Mind 7.0

I've been working on something since yesterday. I'm not finished. My fingers and shoulders are tired and I decided to stop. It will f___g be there in the morning and no matter what I do tonight it won't be finished tonight so I stopped. And it is almost time for Project Runway.

Need to catch you up on a few things.

Montrose Counseling Center & Dalton DeHart

Tomorrow night Montrose Counseling Center is honoring Dalton DeHart. It is a kick-off for their building fund.

I probably met Dalton in 1994 when I joined Executive & Professional Association of Houston (EPAH). As long as I have known Dalton he has had a camera around his neck. :-) Dalton has documented many parties and events throughout the years.

Dalton has many photographs of me with a cocktail in my hand. In fact, one time he took my picture at a press conference and I didn't have a cocktail in my hand. He said I broke his camera because of the missing cocktail. LOL

Dalton also has many photographs of me with big hair. He has also documented my weight gains and weight losses. I'll always stay on Dalton's good side because I'm afraid he might have some photos worthy of blackmail.

In addition to being a photographer, Dalton has been involved in many community organizations.

I'll be stopping by and hope to see you there!

Illumination Project

I just remembered that I haven't done a recap of the performance on Saturday night. I need to find the program to refresh my memory. Look for it soon.

Running & Weights

I met up with runnerOne yesterday morning at 545A. It was a bit on the frigid side. It was 36 degrees Fahrenheit. It was so cold (HOW COLD WAS IT?) that even the guys who run shirtless were a bit bundled up. We had a good 3 mile run. Did a negative split.

I got a 3 mile run in today. And get this. Yesterday I even went to LeFittes.

Parallel Lives

No. Not Parallel Lines by Blondie.

Running My Mass Off has commented that we have parallel lives. That got me to thinking. Seems like there is someone else that has paralleled my life. I realized yesterday morning that runnerOne and I have parallel lives almost to the point of it being freaky.
