Star Jones "Still" Feels 300 Pounds; Apologizes to View Ladies

It's been almost six years since Star Jones shed 160 pounds, but her former frame still weighs on her mind.

"I'm still 300 pounds in my head some days," Jones says on Wednesday's Oprah Winfrey Show.

Jones, who once weighed 307 pounds, underwent gastric bypass surgery in August 2003, but denied it until 2007 despite widespread speculation. She kept the procedure a secret because she was "ashamed" she had to resort to surgery to control her weight.

"The doctor said, 'If you don't make ...

Janice Dickinson Calls Tyra "Fat"

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? read more

Isaiah Washington: "I Hope These Words Disappear"

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 read more
