Star Jones finally comes to her senses

Sandra Rose March 10, 2008

I know this is old news, but MSNBC is reporting it as new. Star Jones has been on her own for a minute now ever since she lost her TV gig. Her impending divorce from Al Reynolds isn’t about Star finding out that her man was creeping with other men – she already knew that.

You see, Star Jones is like those women who are insecure, who don’t feel complete unless they have a light skin boy with good hair on their arm to validate them.

Star Jones, like those other women, came to realize that she deserves so much more than just a piece of arm candy who is using her as a stepping stone to a better life. Now maybe she’ll find a real man who works hard and treats her like the queen that she is.

SURELY, Gay Al wasn’t used as arm candy? Is he cute? I just think he was the first man who didn’t turn away in disgust, so she ended up with him.

Al never validated her…he never could. His presence brought her down…way down! From the moment they got engaged she was a laughing stock. I personally think she may have been insecure about her weight at the time and simply hooked up with the first man that was nice to her. It’s just too bad that that first man was G.A.Y. and everyone (including her) knew it.

I hope she can move on and regain her reputation once this is all over.

it’s so sad the state we are in as women. when we’ve come to the point that we accept anybody just to say we have a man. ladies be okay with being with you. you can do bad by yourself. but, we want others to look at us like we have it going on..(the man), the house, the car. many of us are living a lie. never telling the story that you help buy him the car, that you pay the entire mortgage on your own, and he moved in with you in your house. ladies lets get it together. stick to your morals and values that you were raised with. don’t continue to live the lie.

I believe Star made it obvious that she was more in love with the idea of a wedding instead of the actual marriage. Her wedding was a BIG event which included its very own website where us regular people could buy her gifts off her registry. I doubt they even ever had sex. She just wanted to walk down the aisle and have a picture of herself at an alter in a white dress.

You see, Star Jones is like those women who are insecure, who don’t feel complete unless they have a light skin boy with good hair on their arm to validate them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You kill me with statements like this. So any dark woman with a light man is with them because thye are insecure and need to be validated? You can’t be serious. Are you for real?

Didn’t she learn anything from Terry McMillan. Terry has a constant/permanent “salt” look on her face now.

I know women are born equipped with a “gaydar” embedded in their soul aka “women’s intuition or gut feeling”, whether they chose to turn it on or not is a different story.

Star knew “Allie” was as gay as his laughter, but that’s what happens when women put their hearts before their head.

Ladies take your minds back.
HeyNow

Star had many men before AL what are you talking about? Didn’t she date AL B. Sure back in the day.I know yolanda watts dating him,but iam sure star did too.It’s sad that people think because she was big she didn’t have a man before Al came around.

Star dated Al B Sure??? Well well you earn something new everyday….

She should have done the spiritual ceremony like Tracey Edmonds – then she would only have to walk backwards around the rocks to get rid of him. Stevie Wonder could see this man was riding the rail. I don’t think it has anything to do with his skin color or ‘good hair’.

Attention Ladies:
A baby can’t keep a man.
Money can’t keep a man.
A body can’t keep a man.
Nothing can keep a man but a spiritual connection and a spiritual commitment to the relationship. Not to the other person but to the relationship.
The Black family is in crisis mode and it looks like it is getting worse.
I hope a black president changes all this.
plushlush

Star lived with a white man for years before all she had several boyfriends when she was a large woman…like i said size has nothing to do withit.
Bsoul

She has dated men of “good” stock before. She might have heard the ticks of her biological clock, but I don’t think she was desperated. She does, however, seems in love with the idea of being in love, this may account for her decision to hook up with Al.

At any rate, I wish Star future happiness.

@brwnsugga4you
Right on girl…all you have to do is a records and deeds search and see Kenya and Shanay name the only one on the mortgage…living a lie.

OMG this had me LMAO… damn.

Please no matter how much independent woman BS Star spews, she didn’t feel complete without being married, so she got desperate and married the first thing with a penis she could find who would agree to her. She played herself further with that circus of a wedding and then always vacationing with Jaci and Morris, when it seems to me that Mr. Reid and Al preferred playing on the other team.

@plushlush –

Not my problem if you are identifying with Star. YOU grow up.

I think most people are in love with the idea of love. It does sound nice, but I’ve come to the conclusion lately that love is for suckas.
Anti-believer

I beleive Star knew front jump street he was gay. She was trying to prove that a FAT woman who makes good money can get a lightskin man.

unfortunately he ain’t even attractive.

This was just “black liquorice” (arm candy)
Bsoul

Awww, AreUForReal.

Love isn’t for suckers, it’s just that we have to have patience it takes to find worthwhile love.

Some of us rush for different reasons. Everything from being afraid to be alone, to being horny to wanting help with the bills. It might be a fact that we don’t belong in a relationship until we can love (or at least) like ourselves.

As some already stated, there is nothing wrong with being by yourself…until the right mate comes along. We are too busy settling for less, though.
hellava10

So, dark men are lined up at the doors of heavy women?
hellava10

AreUForReal – it’s not for suckers..there’s just some coward ass busters out there. Is there someone in particular we need to shank?
Bsoul

Alright, Hellava, don’t tempt me to give you a name! One of my exes could sure use one.

(See there Al, I just saved your life, you dusty punk! Hellava is ready to shank you!)

“Star Jones is like those women who are insecure, who don’t feel complete unless they have a light skin boy with good hair on their arm to validate them.”

What women? By women do you mean athletes. And when you say light skin boy do you really mean white girl?

Then I agree-lol!!!!

As long as Star Jones invested that Payless BOGO stash I’m sure she will be just fine!!!

I don’t feel sorry for Star. She got what she wanted out of this deal; a top of the line wedding damn near free. Of course it wasn’t totally free, since it cost her a lucrative job. And you better believe Al wil be hitting her up for alimony and look for the tell all book in a store near you within the year.

“Star Jones is like those women who are insecure, who don’t feel complete unless they have a light skin boy with good hair on their arm to validate them.”

Wow, Sandra. I thought we were trying to get away from the ignorant statements. I don’t see where the guy’s skin color or texture of hair has anything to do with her insecurities. He’s just a man.
istandbehindtheIam

I wonder what she’s gonna do with that rock she bought herself? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm!
eishaKC

This story is unfounded.
I will believe they are getting a divorce when I see the legit paperwork AND hear it from either Star or Al’s own mouth.
Maybe he’s not gay. Maybe he is hetero with a jubilant personality and a flare for fashion.
Just because the man doesn’t fit into the typical or stereotypical mold of a (black) man doesn’t mean he likes guys.
Good grief!

Some ppl are in love with the idea of being in love, while others want the wedding day. The ceremony the dress the family there the rock/ring. A committed marriage/realionship takes work. Just goes to show that someone with less bills or less kids or more material things does not guarantee anything. (only because I am watching it right now take “Good Times” for instance. 3 kids to feed living pay check to pay check. James did not want his wife to work, he never cheated and they stayed together and worked through the hard times.

Sorry, I got off topic alitte. I thought Star was much more prettier and less annoying when she was heavier and she was not hurting in the male companion department. Maybe she thought she was getting an equal by marrying Al. Wasn’t he a lawyer? I never thought she got married because her biological clock was ticking. She does not seem like the maternal type to me. I didn’t think she even liked dogs until I saw a segment on “The View where they were show casing dogs and she ended up picking out the most girly dog that Al happened too fall in love with. How many men want to be seen walking a little girly dog? Walking a girly dog in the park is code for “I am gay too, u want to hook up”?

A real man does not quit his job after marriage. Just glad that Star can swallow her pride and realize what you see is not always what you get. Because there are no kids involved can she file for an annulment for “fraud”? And in the eyes of the law it’s as though the marriage never happened.

Well, they all really could be.
Anna

eishaKC, Although I said what I said about Star. Maybe we should give her the benefit of the doubt and the “fraud” that she may file will be he cheated on his taxes. lol. or maybe he just did what Kathy Griffith’s husband did. Stole her money from her accounts while she working hard. I still do wonder why Zellweger filed for fraud in her annullment. Zellweger was the first celebrity that I saw file for fraud. Most file for “irreconsilable differences”. Which to me translates. “We can’t stand each other”. But remember they have to add how they “will remain friends and committed to being parents and want their privacy at this difficult time”. A celeb can’t win for losing. Most want a big elebrate wedding(or 2) but want as quite of a divorce as possible.

@ AreUForReal and AlwaysSweet…. **COSIGN**

Wow, she kills me with these ignorant @$$ comments sometimes… WTH does his skin color or “hair” have to do with anything? Geesh…
nyp

wow! who talks about “good hair” in this day and age; you sound like one of my aunties.

let’s not forget that al was employed as a stockbroker when they both began seeing one another. but homegirl’s gaydar should have gone off after he hosted a bachelor party with a roman bath house theme…clothing optional. (see page6 ny post)i don’t care how much of a metrosexual you are, no straight man hosts a party where other men are going to be naked, unless…
eishaKC

Oh yeah I forgot to say: “good” hair ?

I thought we knew better than that this century.
I guess some of us didn’t get the memo.

You are TOO DAMN FUNNY!!!!! LOL LOL

Al being eye candy because he is light with a jheri curl is the most ignorant bullshit I have ever read / heard in my life….please.
MIZZ.I_REP_ATL

When I say the media is doing a hell a job to break Star down to tell all. Keep It Going!!! I mean, i just want to hear her break down as Terry M. did. I’m tired of reading about it, I want to hear/see her admit to this. Which I know may never happen
Bsoul

Sandra, look what you done done, girl!

LOL!
spraggaswifey

I BELIEVE THAT AL HAD A SCHEME GOING ON WITH TERI’S EX HUSBAND AND I STILL DO BELIEVE IT…..TERI AND STAR NEED TO GET TO GET TOGETHER AND BEAT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF THEM……

NEXT!

what senses? The gaydar has always hummed about him and he did absolutely nothing to hide it..maybe he played to the ego and sid he “changed” for her who knows..this whole relationship was unbelievable and unnecessary to begin with

Good Luck Starr. life should be about your own persoonal happiness!!!

mini steadman is gay? Omg
tbrown

Umph. Po’ thang. But she should’ve known it wouldn’t last. Marrying a gay man and calling it ‘real’ hardly ever does.
pinkvirgo

Star is a very strong and intelligent woman I don’t think that she got with Al b/c she was fat and couldn’t get a man I think it was more of her age was catching up with her and she felt that clock was ticking and like EVERY other woman in the world she wanted that special.@Smokie turn away in disgust was harsh she actually is not a bad looking as a matter fact she was very nice looking with her weight she just lost to much and now she looks a bit sickly with that bobble head.As for Al he is gay as hell did ya’ll see him those extension dreads omg.he’s not attractive at all and he should have been ecstatic to be with Star.@ Plushlush I don’t care what color President we get I don’t think that they will be able to fix the state of the Black family thhis is something that began hundreds of years ago .It starts at home with men not feeling an attachment to their families so they can leave at the drop of a hat and women that have 5 kids with 5 last names I could go on and on but let me stop.
Sharonda

Al wasn’t that cute.I mean yeah he light skin, but you find not so much attractive people in all races and colors.I honestly don’t know why she got with him but that sure isn’t my business.Good luck to Star though.Thank goodness she is not lashing out like Terry McMillan.
http://www.findentertainmentnow.com miesha@FindEntertainmentNow.com

i wanted to believe that the rumors about Al were false. the media always talks and is negative and each has to live her or his own life in this crazy world. But…who knows. i do know that i wish her the best. it sux cuz her whole wedding shindig got her fired off of The View. But maybe that was in God’s plan anyway. We don’t know what’s true, the insecurity analyzation, the gay husband rumor, but I do know that wish her the best. Star is a smart and educated woman.

Shucks, considering how long she wasted her time on this guy I know she wanted a baby based on some previous interiews she gave. She should have gotten knocked up and then kicked him out. Clearly she doesnt need him – but that would have been a cust kid.
