Drama at ‘The View’ as Star is sent packing

Say it ain’t so. Star Jones Reynolds is leaving The View after serving as a co-host on ABC’s girl-talk chat-fest since its debut in 1997. (Where does the time go?) It’s too bad. I was looking forward to fireworks with the arrival of Rosie O’Donnell as co-host in the fall. (O’Donnell replaces Meredith Vieira, who’s replacing Katie Couric, who’s replacing Bob Schieffer.) Rosie has had some not-so-nice things to say about Star. She basically called Star dishonest for talking up the benefits of diet and exercise after shedding 100 pounds while downplaying her gastric-bypass surgery.
