Star Jones is SOOOO BUSTED!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I just bought a copy of Star magazine and looking at the picture of Star Jones. I totally agree she had WLS. Check it out. February 20th copy, page 62.

At the risk of sounding like a snob--which I already know I am--I cannot IMAGINE why anyone would care what a couple of talking heads from televison do about their weight. (I guess that also explains why I'd never buy Jones' book, either.) And..my mother has lap surgery scars from having her gall bladder removed...

I just want to see how cute she looks in a bikini.

For those of you who say she looked better fat, maybe you are just used to seeing her heavy.

I have NEVER heard someone say about a beautiful woman, 'Gee, she would look better with an extra 150lbs.'

I think she looks wonderful and much, much healthier.

"Star is an icon for a lot of people, and a lot of obese people. If she would just admit what she had done, I think she would inspire many of her fans to follow suit to a healthier lifestyle, and she would help to remove some of the stigma of WLS because of her celebrity. What she is doing now is just being evasive and deceitful."

I read her interview, and she openly admits her reasons for not sharing her secret. She just doesn't want anyone else doing something just because she did. I posted this somewhere else, but could you imagine if people started asking for the "Star Jones Band?" That could be disastrous for her. If one single person had a bypass based on what Star Jones did and then had complications, the media and world would eat Star Jones AND her surgeons alive for advertising WLS. Even if she didn't advertise it, she's so well-known that anyone with sufficient resources would run out and have a bypass/band. Think about it, the world is a funny place. So that's why she's being evasive... can ya blame her?

I'm not defending her because I don't know who she is, I'm just conveying what I read. As far as her talking about smaller portions and healthier eating, it's not really a lie since that's what WLS forces you to do. Do I feel sorry for her? Heck no! Money can't buy you love, but it can take you anywhere ya wanna go shopping!!!

If you don't care about a couple of talking heads why read this thread?

To see who DOES care and to try to understand why those who DO care, care.

Someone scan and post the pic!

Talking heads are, admittedly, amusing to me. I flip through the mags at the grocery store. Yep. I do. And if it's one of those new $1.99 ones, I might buy it, especially if it has pages and pages of pics of these gorgeous women in their Award show gowns.

Call me shallow.

I read a quote from her in one of the mags about why she isn't saying anything, and I'm satisfied. She admitted to "medical intervention", if I'm not mistaken, and the Lap surgery scars confirm it, so long as the pic isn't doctored. As for which surgery she chose, we may never know.

And as shallow as I am, I suppose I'll live. It's still entertaining on a slow day. :)

Yup I saw those scars on her. I dont know why she tried to hide it.

Hi all-

I know there has been a lot of discussion about Star Jones and the "did she or didn't she???" question.

I am traveling, and when I travel, I always buy the cheesy tabloids because I get bored in hotel rooms. In this weeks issue of STAR magazine, there is a picture of Star on vacation, and she is wearing a bikini top and sarong.

Guess what is very visible on her belly???? Laproscopic surgery scars!! Maybe she should just go ahead and come clean now:heh:

YOU can call you shallow...I wouldn't do that. I guess I grew up too close to Hollywood and I'm too close to the subject matter (my daughter has worked in film and in other working-with-the-big-names gigs) to believe anything in a rag. I don't think people who DO care are shallow...just interested in things other than stuff I care about.

I am amazed that she can wear a bikini without first having a Tummy Tuck.

BTW, the scars don't necessarily prove anything - as someone said, similar incisions are made for gallbladder surgery. Now, if there are 5 incisions and one scar is obviously bigger ... that might be more convincing... :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
