Star Jones' soon-to-be-ex-husband, Al Reynolds, is speaking out on his feelings for Star, as well as hoping to set the record straight about his sexuality.In a new interview, Reynolds asserts that he is "not a homosexual," as some rumors have said, later defending his snazzy style: "If I go to an event, I'm going to look my best. My mother used to tell me, I was cleaner than the Board of Health."Reynolds also, however, has been opening up about his feelings for Jones, telling the AP, "I still very much love her. I do. 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. "I feel like I've still got a little bit of healing to do," he said. There's only so much fodder one editor can digest without being rendered speechless. Any takers...

Barbara Walters by Jim Spellman/WireImage.com and Star Jones by Jesse Grant/WireImage.com
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. Jones in turns responded, "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters... is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer... and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book."Walters claimed good intentions in detailing her affair with a senator, saying, "I put it in to show in great part how race relations have changed. This was 30 years ago, it was an African-American prominent man. And it would've destroy...

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...

Star Jones by Brian Ach/WireImage.com
After less than a year on the air, truTv abruptly served Star Jones Reynolds her walking papers, announcing that Feb. 1 will be the last day for her series, The Star Jones Show, on the network.Tru (formerly known as Court TV) attributed the decision to "rebranding and programming focus of the network," and will be replacing Jones' show with Arrest & Trial, a new series for which she will occasionally appear as a legal expert. Jones, who previously was part of The View's daily posse, clearly did not get the "star treatment" she's been giving guests all along. Now where's the justice in that? — Anna Dimond

Looks like Janice Dickinson's big mouth has got her into a boatload of trouble yet again. During and interview with Al Roker yesterday on the Today Show, the self-proclaimed supermodel stuck up for Jennifer Love Hewitt stating she looked "healthy." But rather than leaving it at that, Dickinson definitely stuck her foot in her mouth when she continued on to say "You want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat." When Roker stopped her mid sentence to call her out on that comment, she unconvincingly explained she was kidding. See for yourself.Dickinson's publicist more than likely sat her down in an attempt to run some damage control because when she appeared later on The Star Jones Show, she managed to bring up her "stupid comment" towards the end of her interview, re-emphasizing that she was just kidding. Do you buy it? Or do you think she's just trying to cover her behind?

Comic Sherri Shepherd has been chosen to fill Star Jones Reynolds' long-vacant fifth seat on The View. Although the official announcement will have to wait until Sept. 10, the deal was made back in August, TV Guide has learned exclusively. The View producers were hoping to stay mum about Shepherd’s status for a couple of weeks to keep the hoopla focused on Whoopi Goldberg's signing on as moderator. But an anonymous source leaked the news early.Shepherd, who has guest-hosted on the ABC chatfest over a dozen times, campaigned hard for the job. "I’ve been telling them I’m available," she told TV Guide in June. "If you want me, I’m available." Apparently, what Sherri wants, Sherri gets. — Reporting by Ileane Rudolph

Isaiah Washington, poster child for censorship? On an appearance on Star Jones today on Court TV, the controversial former Grey’s Anatomy actor said, “I hope everything I’ve gone through in the last eight months is not in vain. I hope that everyone gets it, on both sides of the spectrum, and that these words disappear in our vernacular.” Washington also opened up to Star Jones about how he learned about the murder of his father, also named Isaiah Washington, from the TV news when he was 13. “I knew that I was going to go on a journey to try to take that name and turn it into a positive, if I ever got a chance to go on television.” —Reporting by Marissa Klein
