But If They Fire Her, She Might Get Her Own Show

Is Star Jones being forced out of her co-hosting gig on The View? Does she have big blubber-pinching catfights with Joy Behar? Would any of this ever compel us to actually watch The View? The answer to that last question at least is a resounding no.

The National Enquirer claims that ABC executives are secretly interviewing replacements for the sucked-and-tucked beard. An insider told the tab:

"The producers are looking for someone to take over from Star who will blend in with the other co-hosts. They want someone who will jump into the conversation with their own viewpoint but not be so combative and stubborn as Star has been over the years. All the actresses who have been approached know this is a wonderful opportunity. They are all seriously considering the job because of course it could lead to other big opportunities in the business. Who in their right mind would turn it down? Now it's up to the producers to decide who's the best choice."

One of the reasons behind the reported ousting are Star's frequent on- and off-screen clashes with co-host Joy Behar. We're sure a second reason involves show clean-up crews being sick of all the audience vomit after Star mentions that fake husband Al Reynolds has "the legs of a stallion." Reps for The View deny the rumor, but they're probably just afraid of being bitch slapped by Barbara Walters if they let the news leak. That would be embarrassing. Especially since she would probably ask them how that made them feel afterward.
Star Jones isn't at MrSkin.com, silly. But Jami Gertz is. She played Star in The Lost Boys.
