Even Barbara Walters hates Star Jones
Welcome to the club, Barbara! Page Six has reported that now that Rosie O’Donnell has been named to replace Meredith Vieira on The View, Star is planning on making an exit because she wanted to take Meredith’s place as the moderator of the group.
–but grande dame Barbara Walters wasn’t going to let that happen.
“You can’t even mention Star’s name around Barbara,” said our source. “She hates her. Really can’t stand her.”
Walters gave some noticeably cool remarks to the Times yesterday about past bitterness between Jones and O’Donnell.
“The only concern would be Star’s,” said Walters. “If Star wants to continue to be there, she is welcome.”
O’Donnell is good pals with Jones’ “View” nemesis, Joy Behar. Spies say Jones’ agent is calling around now.
“Until she leaves, it will be must-see TV,” said an insider. “Imagine Rosie and Star going at it every day! Fabulous!”
Let me take the opportunity to join Barbara in what she really meant to say to Star: “Good riddance & don’t let the door hit your deflated ass on the way out!!!”
