   Yes, she lied and said that diet and exercise is how she lost weight. In fact, when she wrote that book about her wedding (ya know, the one she paid for with illegal advertising?), I think she lied in there too. It wasn’t until later that the truth of her surgery came out.

   Star is such a lawyer — wait, she’ll sue NBC and Lisa Rinna for emotional distress and damage to her professional reputation.

   I had gastric bypass surgery 7 and a half years ago. I freaking hate people who lie about it. It’s like saying we should be ashamed. I tried diet, I tried exercise (for YEARS). Sometimes it is simply not enough. I was 30 and I wanted to have babies. I made a decision to save my life. It was one of the best decision that I ever made. It’s not a solution, it’s a tool, and that is how I continue to use it after having had two babies. I’m proud of what I did.

   Good for you, Sassygrl72! I don’t think that it is anything to be ashamed of either. After all – it is not a permanent fix, you have to work to keep the weight from coming back. I am beyond impressed that you were able to keep it off after two pregnancies! I gained 60 with each pregnancy, and I will not say how much of that has stuck around…

   The woman lied about being a beard in order to experience a wedding (and all the goodies) – she is a victim? I would not want her nerve in my tooth…

   Remember in Men in Black, when the bug alien was walking around wearing Vincent d’Onforio’s skin as the “Edgar suit”? And at one point, the bug alien grabbed the scalp and janked it up, so that the face was all stretched and tight and comically weird?

   That’s exactly what Star Jone’s face looks like. I’m not even kidding.

   Come to think of it, I could do the same thing with Bernie, my mom and dad’s bloodhound. But I don’t feel a scream welling up inside my throat every time I think of HIS face.

    I thought Star looked better with some weight on her, frankly. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    I agree. When she was fat, she was still pretty. Now she looks like a bobblehead doll. It just doesn’t look right.

    Maybe her weight loss was strictly for vanity..she did have heart issues and probably other health problems stemming from obesity. I agree, she does look like a bobblehead, but perhaps she’s a bit healther and can at least get around a lot easier. I’m not sure she would’ve been up to the challenge of Apprentice if she were still 300+ pounds.

    @NWMTV..Beyonce’s thick. Star was fat.

    After all the things that have been said about Star through the years, she is choosing to take action against Lisa? I take back what I said about Star being descended from The Godfather yesterday. Vito would have just quietly deposited Lisa somewhere along the Jones Causeway and gone back to the playground to pick on Families his own size.

    But all those fat chicks on Craig’s List are describing themselves as “thick”! How am I to know where “thick” ends and “fat” starts? What about “curves in all the right places”??? What about “if you don’t like a bigger girl, then get to steppin’?”

    Each day, our language loses more meaning than it gains.

    Well, if we’re being honest, NeNe is kinda “down there” and Star is kinda “up here”. It might not be NICE to state that “you’re a class-less snatchface all the time, but at least I can go out in public and not embarrass myself 8% of the time”, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t TRUE.

    Now, if one of them was claiming to rate more favorably on the Faces-that-make-babies-cry O meter, then they’d be talking some hypocritical shit, right there.

    lol, Well NWMTV, the best meter of which to tell whether a woman is thick or fat is the existence of a waistline. If she has one, then she’s thick. If her muffin top protrudes further than her hips, she’s fat. Now, there are slim girls with muffin tops, but we just say they’re out of shape.

    As far as Star losing weight for her wedding…who cares? Can a woman do what she wants to feel beautiful? The only people putting her down are other women, natch. Also, I felt like the View was forcing her to talk about it. I think she wanted to do lose weight quietly, not dish about like they made Sherri Shepard do, with a whole segment dedicated to how many inches lost and how many left to lose. I think we forget that celebrities are women with normal insecurities who want to focus on the positives (Look, someone loves me and wants to marry me!) and not, “I am really fat, but hoping in a few months that I won’t be..AS fat.” Not everyone wants to be a spokesperson.

    Nene is classless and doesn’t know how to behave for a woman her age. At least Star can conduct herself with a modicum of decorum. Even when she hosted a Bad Girl’s Club reunion and the girls were close to throwing blows, Star left the stage because she thought that type of behavior was beneath her and she would not sit on the panel and watch women attack each other that way. Of course, she was never hired again and famewhore Perez Hilton was all too happy to jump into the fray.

    Plus Star is well-educated, was an Assistant District Attorney, and has never argued or fought in public. Nene is a former stripper, can hardly conjugate a verb, and has choked and would’ve choked Kim Zolciak several times over. The ‘up here, down there’ is pretty accurate in this sense.

    @NWMTV – I always draw the line like this: If the person is nice, they are thick or fluffy or, my personal favorite, zoftig. But if I will be seeing them next tuesday, that bitch is fat.

    @Sarcas – I think no matter what was said, you would defend Star. She lied about her weight loss, you said she was doing it for her health. It was pointed out that she actually did it for her wedding, you compliment her on wanting to look good. You say she has never argued or fought in public as if that somehow makes her a better person than one who just lies, manipulates and money grubs to put herself ahead of others. I don’t know about you, but I would far rather deal with someone who will argue to your face than a slimy bitch who works behind the scenes to bring you down.

    Snootchy, I’m think you may be putting words in my mouth. But just as you accuse me of defending her, I can say the opposite for you, that you would twist whatever positive comments are made about her into her being heartless and selfish. For the record, however, I was not ‘complimenting’ her but saying what woman wouldn’t want to look their best for their wedding? Is that really a critique? Are we really bashing her for that?? I mean, there was a show Bridalplasty based on woman who…(you’ve guessed it!), wanted to look great for their weddings! Heck, my best friend is getting married in Sept and i’m trying to lose weight for it and it’s not even my damn wedding, lol!

    As far as the Star vs Nene comparison, why should it bother you what i think? I would rather see a 40something woman speak in modulated tones than see her sticking her neck out and wagging her fingers in people’s faces. If you’d prefer to deal with people like that, then more power to you. But you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. And Nene isn’t doing herself any favors by her recent TV appearances and conflicts. Star will come out of this conflict unscathed because she didn’t stoop to the level of screaming and rolling her neck. Call it a defense, I just call it an observation.

    If I didn’t care what people thought, I would never read any of the other comments. We all do that because we like the discussion. But remind me to ask you why you care what I think the next time you disagree with something I say.

    And I don’t have to twist anything positive about Star into her being heartless or selfish. There is so much in the public record about her that tells that tale already. Well at least the selfish part. Clearly she isn’t heartless because she had surgery on it. Well, technically, I guess she was heartless for 22 minutes or whatever. But they put it back.

    And as far as Nene goes, I don’t give two craps about her. But to applaud Star for not fighting in public (as opposed to Nene, I am assuming), is like applauding Richard Hatch for wearing his clothing on the show (so far). It is a more polite behavior but it doesn’t change the fact that he is a complete douchewad asshole.

    I asked you why you care because it seemed to go beyond just disagreeing, like you seemed bothered by the fact that I don’t hold it against an obese woman who gets gastric bypass to look nice for her wedding. Or that myself and NWMTV both don’t see much problem with Star vs Nene ‘up here, down there’ comment, because we agree. You felt like you had to tell me that no matter what was said I would defend Star and proceeded to give examples. It’s fine to disagree, it’s fine to state your opinions, but I didn’t know we were actually trying to convince and persuade others to adopt our ideas or that we should point it out when they don’t. Why not just make a clear and concise argument for what you believe and leave it at that?

    I am not defending Star, nor did I even disagree with you. I didn’t say anything about her lying about her weight loss, I just pointed out the benefits of said weight loss (i.e., better health, more active). I didn’t disagree with you saying she did it for the wedding. I just asked why was that such a big deal? If i were 300+lbs, i’d want to lose weight for my wedding, too.

    People get in conflict every day. But it’s how they handle it that tells the type of person they are, and Nene handles conflict like someone from ‘down there.’ So, I gave my opinion on why I didn’t think it was such a rude/inaccurate statement that Star made.

    Like I said, you may considere it a defense, whereas I call it an observation based on their TV personas. And that’s all I’m going by.

    NeNe is down there, but so is Star. The only difference is that Star is able to control the bitch side of herself – at least in front of rich friends. In many ways I find her to be the female Richard Hatch. Very intelligent, but also always playing the game and aware of where they stand in it. And I mean in all aspects of their lives, not just being on a reality tv show. I have always gotten the impression that Star is not so charitable towards the ‘little people’ she comes into contact with on a daily basis, much like Rosie O’Donnell.

    I’m not sure how Star conducts herself in her personal life, but on TV, she speaks her mind but not with the same aggression that Richard Hatch uses to intimidate people. Or with the threat of physical harm that Nene adopts in conflict. I am only speaking of Celebrity Apprentice and the conflicts that has transpired on the show. The whole Star vs Nene debacle, Star will come out looking like the victor because she didn’t stoop to Nene’s level of handling conflict. Or down to the pettiness of Lisa and her Twit pics. That doesn’t mean she is a better person overall. Just that she is a professional and conducts herself as such which is why she will be given other opportunities. Nene, on the other hand, always shoots herself in the foot. Then sticks her bloody foot in her mouth.

    I think with the whole Star thing – my problem isn’t with her having gastric bypass. Whether she did it for health reasons or to look good at her wedding doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is the months and months she lied about getting it. As if it were something of which she should be ashamed. She never admitted it, until backed into a corner. And if it’s none of our (my) business whether she had it not – then just say that. She’s smart enough, and definately articulate enough to do that. She just wasn’t smart enough to realize that anyone was going to buy the lie that she was losing great amounts of weight by diet and exercise.

    I think people had a problem about her LYING about having surgery and saying she did it all herself with diet and exercise. No one ever blamed her for wanting to change her appearance, wedding or no wedding. Women do that all the time, but they’re usually not ashamed to say, “Yeah, I did the surgery for my health and appearance, so what?” People would have greater respect for her. Attorneys aren’t known for always being the most honest people on the planet though…Should she have been forced to discuss it? Maybe not, but I always say if you put yourself on TV (The View), you MAKE it everyone’s buisness.

    I think she was ashamed to admit having the surgery. Because she never ever used the term ‘gastric bypass’, she called it a ‘medical intervention.’ I did feel bad for her, because I felt like barbara was relentless in wanting Star to make her weight loss a show segment and have her dish about it, when you could tell Star was ashamed and just wanted to lose weight quietly. Alas, it wasn’t so. There is a drawback to this thing called celebrity.

    Star, Dionne, and NeNe bullied the non-African American ladies from the start. LaToya pretended she wasn’t looking. Isn’t this also discrimination, or in these cases it’s okay?

    I don’t agree completely but I understand where you may be coming from. There are more woman of color on the team to begin with so anytime there is a valid point to be made against a non-african american (your words) it could be seen as discrimination.

    On the other hand, I think that Star, Dionne and NeNe would bully anyone and it wouldn’t matter what color the opponent was.
