Star Jones is a little heated with former “View” co-host Barbara Walters and all her running at the mouth about her extramarital affair with a brother back in the day and bringing up Star’s weight-loss surgery to promote her new book.From TMZ.com: Star Jones unleashed a verbal ass-whooping on Barbara Walters today, telling Us Weekly, “It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book … It speaks to her true character.” Star is referring to the revelation Walters made that she had an affair with then-married Senator Edward Brooke during the 1970s — and the fact that Walters claims in her new book Jones forced her to lie on “The View” about Jones’ gastric bypass surgery.

Star, we all know how shady you were about your surgery. Let it go!

“CSI” star Gary Dourdan is responding to his recent arrest for drug possession.

“Obviously I am embarrassed to find myself in this situation, and I am profoundly grateful to everyone for their support,” Dourdan said in a statement to PEOPLE. “I have complete confidence in and respect for the justice system and will cooperate fully with any investigation.” And in what he claims was a private email to Access Hollywood host Shaun Robinson, he said the drugs found in his car weren’t his. “Obviously I certainly wish I hadn’t been responsible for so many people getting to the festival’s VIP area,” Dourdan wrote. “I am blessed that the Sgt. realized that the luggage carrying whatever they found was not mine and that my tests have been coming back negative.”
