Did anyone watch the View this morning? Baba announced Star was gone because Star announced on the show yesterday that she would not be returning..I didn't watch yesterday so I'm not sure what happened. BW did say that ABC was not renewing Star's contract but did not expect her to react this way...whatever... it was the best View I have seen in years! :floor:

(disclaimer - - it's on in the kitchen while I work at my computer in a totally different room.)
But Star made a nice announcement, unbeknownst to the remaining hosts, that she was leaving at the end of JULY, nothing was said about contract renewals, just remarks that The View is choosing to go a different route, etc., and she has chosen to search for her own path, blah, blah, blah. They all sat and held hands. I wondered what or if there was any truth to the rumor of discord between Star and BW but all seemed fine yesterday. But today was another story! Wow! She was gone, sort of like being escorted out of the building! BW said she had wanted Star to leave with dignity but BW sort of blew that apart!

Star Jones Reynolds Erased From 'View'
Jun 28, 12:32 PM EST
The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Star Jones Reynolds was booted from "The View" Wednesday, one day after surprising ABC and Barbara Walters by saying on the air that she wouldn't be returning to the daytime talk show in the fall.
Reynolds was quickly erased from the show's opening credits, now down to three women from the usual five.
"It is becoming uncomfortable for us to pretend that everything is the same at this table," show creator Walters said. "Therefore, regrettably, Star will no longer be on this program."

ABC had decided against renewing Reynolds' contract months ago and the show was planning to let Reynolds announce it later this week, according to Walters. Reynolds could say whatever she wanted to about why she was leaving, "and we would back her up," the longtime ABC newswoman said.
Instead, Walters said she felt blindsided when Reynolds broke the news Tuesday, then was quoted in People magazine as saying she felt like she was fired.
"We gave her time to look for another job and hoped that she would announce it on this program and leave with dignity," Walters said. "But Star made another choice."
Reynolds' spokesman did not return calls and e-mails seeking comment.
Walters didn't discuss on the air why Reynolds, an original cast member who's been on the show for nine years, wasn't being asked back. She said in an interview Tuesday that research showed audience members were turned off by Reynolds' dramatic weight loss and glitzy wedding to banker Al Reynolds in 2004.
Reynolds later retorted that TV ratings and her book sales indicated this wasn't true.
"The View" is bringing on Rosie O'Donnell to replace Meredith Vieira in September, and the hunt is now on for Reynolds' replacement. Walters said Reynolds may still appear on the show in recorded segments

I never really cared for her, but she did herself in when she was trying to get all that wedding freebie stuff.
