Star Jones Is Still Saying Things

Such as this:

"I am very conscious of where my blessings come from. I am not presumptuous. I think that I fell into the trap of believing the hype. I started to believe that I was the one who accomplished all this. I started to believe that the blessings and the gifts were my doing. Strengthening my relationship with God is my greatest accomplishment, not the weight."

Or maybe this:

"'Clearly, anyone who gets to be 300 pounds is not your expert,' she says. That's why she says she won't reveal how she lost the weight. 'I feel really strongly that it's inappropriate for me to be a poster child for a weight-loss method.'"

Or, from the same article:

"'Don't say I was heavy, full-figured or plus-sized. I was morbidly obese.' And don't dare call the new and improved Reynolds thin. 'Come on, girl, please,' she chides. 'I'm not thin.i"

Wait, what? She's a size 10 and she's "not thin"? I mean just look at the picture accompanying the article. Sure, she looks a little weird and crazy, but how is she not thin? Star Jones perplexes me.

It creeps me out how Star sort of talks about herself in the third person.

It reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld with that guy "Jimmy" -- "Don't touch Jimmy! HANDS OFF Jimmy!"

Why can't she just admit she had a gastric bypass? There's no shame in that! I mean, it's covered by medical insurance while most prescription diet pills ARE NOT (which I do not understand!).

Maybe she took a bunch of TrimSpa full of Kelly Clarkson and they won't pay her to say so!!!

Apparently size 10 is fat. I don't get it either.

I have to agree with 14 from Gallery of the Absurd that she looks like an alien

Well I must refrain from excessive snarkage since we can't ALL pledge DST. (An age-old rivalry, everyone, if you don't know, you probably don't need to know.)

But you know, she must have known was going to be opening herself up - no pun intended, really, it's just LATE - to overexposure backlash. Anyone in NYC who can smile through that (and is not on something *ahem* interesting) gets props from me.

Whatever eyebrow things are going on, damn, those comments are harsh over there on 14's page.

Plus, she had to write the second book. No one but me read her first one.
*snark*


P.S. Laura Bora, for those "on the coasts" playing the home game, size 10 is apparently "Hollywood fat". I think Mo has some analysis somewhere here on the site.

It's pretty obvious to me that she had the WLS. Why can't she just come clean? I had a friend who went from 300+ lbs to about 150 IN FIVE YEARS. How long did it take Star to get to her weight right now? Months?

I don't like her. And I don't like how she's still calling herself fat. If she wants to see fat, she should come to my house.
