With that being said, how thick must Star Jones be to have not picked up one good lesson in these last 9 years :banghead:
Seriously, talk about burning bridges...man, Star chose the Golden Gate with that little episode! If she does get back on TV I predict it will be some tabloid thingy...the very thing she disliked so very much![]()

Good post, Lynie.

I am in agreement with you, as I also have much respect for Barbara Walters and her considerable accomplishments.
IMO - she was well suited for a career in journalism and certain made her mark - including blazing a path for many other young women in a primarily male dominated field. Major kudos to her for all her hard work!

I guess, in the last 4-5 years, I've just tired of Barbara's massive ego getting in the way of bringing entertainment & interview pieces into the public domain. For some reason, I've always felt that she was oddly out-of-place with the other women of 'The View'.
For more years than I can remember, I've enjoyed Barbara's journalistic endeavors, documentaries & special interview programs. However - Barbara's co-hosting and participating in that particular "View" venue of dueling egos just never quite appealed to me. Not comfortable with bitchiness, caustic or crude remarks and rumor-mongering. Not my cup of tea, I guess .. and I really didn't feel it fit Barbara's image either.
I'd love to see "someone fun with true class, quick wit & intelligence" step in to Star's vacated spot. I do remember hearing all the rumors that Gayle King was being considered but never heard if she was even interested. I also remember that Oprah made an appearance on the View (her first & only visit) in that same timeframe that Gayle was being discussed. Could have been a coincidence .. but, maybe not.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
