I can't lie to you." He also offered insights into why their relationship ended. "I felt like we started to grow apart," he said, specifically when their professional lives got busy with his book efforts and her new truTV show.Since their three-year marriage dissolved, the former banker has not been dating.

Barbara Walters is declining to publicly engage with Star Jones after things heated up this week between the two. On Friday, Walters said she'd rather hang on to the good memories of her and Jones' days together on The View. "Star is going through a very difficult time right now," Walters told AP Radio, alluding to the dissolution of Jones' marriage. "I don't want to add to her difficulties." Oops, too late!Earlier this week, during an Oprah visit, Walters revealed that she and fellow View hosts lied for Jones about her significant weight loss.

Oh, it is so on!While promoting her memoir Audition on Oprah this week, Barbara Walters said she knowingly lied about former View cohost Star Jones' weight loss. Walters said she told the audience — at the request of Jones — that her fellow Viewer lost more than 150 pounds from 2002-03 through pilates and healthy eating, when in fact Babs knew gastric bypass surgery was to credit. "[Star] decided she would tell nobody, and we had to then lie on the set every day," she said. Jones responded via an interview with Us, knocking her former boss for, among other things, outing a philandering senator in the course of her book tour. "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." Meow! What's your take? Was Jones just in asking...
