Star Jones Finally Admits Lying About Fat Surgery »

Star Jones Finally Admits to Lying About Fat Surgery

Star Jones has finally admitted that her rapid weight loss was not due to Pilates and diet as she said over and over again. It was of course gastric-bypass. We all knew this, but homegirl never confessed.

In a self-written article for Glamour Star said:

“I admit that when asked about my obvious weight loss over the past four years, I was intentionally evasive. Lying was never an option for me, so I called it a ‘medical intervention,’ which was true, but it was really a pathetic attempt to tell only the truth I could handle at the time.”

“I couldn’t breathe without sounding winded; walk without getting tired; sleep without snoring; or take a flight without using a seat belt extender.”

“Every day I am learning to let go of my insecurities and acknowledge that I don’t have all the answers, which is okay,” she writes. Though she still struggles with self-image, she writes that being healthy is what counts. “I’m not saying that in order to be happy, women need to be a certain size, but I am saying that we should all strive to be healthy.”

Star called her “her secret.” It was nobody’s secret! The world knew! She’s like those high school girls that come back from the Summer break with a new nose and say they just lost some baby fat.

Star is lying about lying. She did straight-up lie! She said it was Pilates and diet. If she would’ve been honest about it and said, “Look, I’m a fat heifer and I needed to let some of the gas out of the balloon” we would’ve understood. I mean she was obese.

‘I Have Breast Cancer’ By ROBIN ROBERTS »

‘I Have Breast Cancer’ By ROBIN ROBERTS

“I never thought I’d be writing this. … I have breast cancer.

It all started a few weeks ago. We had gotten the news that our dear colleague and friend Joel Siegel had passed away and we began preparing for our special tribute show for him. I did a piece about Joel’s courageous battle with cancer, reporting on the way my friend had lived his life and been such a successful advocate for the importance of early cancer screenings. That very night when I went to bed, I did a self breast exam and found something that women everywhere fear: I found a lump.

At first I thought, “This can’t be. I am a young, healthy woman.” Nevertheless, I faced my fear head on and made an appointment to see the doctor. Much as I was hoping the doctor would say it was nothing, she did a biopsy and confirmed that the lump I’d found was indeed an early form of breast cancer.

Hearing the doctor say those words out loud was surreal.

I will be having surgery shortly and follow-up treatment in the months to come. So in the coming months, you will probably notice that I will have my good days and my bad days, but I know I will get through it with the love and support of my family and friends. Diane, Sam, Chris and all of the folks behind the scenes who make this program come to life each and every morning have been so supportive and loving at this challenging time.

To you, our viewers, please know that your thoughts and prayers very much sustain me as they always have each and every morning when I sit in the chair next to Diane and say “Good Morning America.” You have always been there for me … and I love you back.

And like my good friend Joel, I can’t stress enough how important it is to get screened and checked for all cancers — and to do self breast exams. I am so blessed that I found this in the early stages and the prognosis is so promising that my doctor expects me to be flying planes and hanging on to submarines in the middle of the Atlantic and scaling the Mayan Pyramids in no time in the mornings to come.

Now I join the ranks of millions of Americans who are fighting this same battle each and every day. I appreciate YOUR courage and YOUR example. Thank you for showing me the way.”

ABC’s Robin Roberts announced today that she has breast cancer. She will undergo surgery Friday and will continue treatment in the following months. You can send her a message A “Good Morning America” producer may contact you.

Rosie O’Donnell can’t keep her fingers shut!

She’s gone off again and this time she’s gone after Paula Abdul. Paula is an angel sent from God! Well…. angel sent from a Vicodin bottle. Here’s what that Rosie had to say on her blog:

right now
paula abdul would yell action
and the result would be
what we all see

there r times
u r so broken
fragile
pain filled
love less
desperate
raw
vulnerable
so needy for love

the black hole
satan vortex
gains and drains
eventually

were we brave enuf
or stoned enuf
to allow access
to the swampy crazy part

hey paula
we cringe
at r selves
thru u

an interior designer
top of her game
home maker of the stars
a hairdresser arrives

and nods
yes yes
i know her so
money wasted - time - talent

no no no
she cries
did u know u were creating for me?
she asks the insulted artist

and blah blah blah
good god
the worst of us
all

Sorry guys, but I absolutely agree. I saw that episode and Paula Abdul might be the most mentally unstable person.

She is such a crazy bitch and she’s this completely needy diva who constantly considers herself a victim in his cruel game of life…you know, where she has her hairstylist, stylist, 2 assistants, consultant, etc. following her around her mansion and doing anything she pleases. Yea, tough life.
