Sherri Shepherd: Star’s in My Prayers

May 6th, 2008

Star Jones may have left The View on bad terms, but one person who still has her back on the chatfest is her successor, Sherri Shepherd.

Days after Star’s divorce from her husband Al Reynolds became public, Sherri is sending nothing but her best to the 46-year-old.

“She is just a regular woman who hurts,” Sherri tells OK!. “This is a man that she loves, so it’s hard when you become one and you tear it apart. She’s in my prayers, and I wish her the best… She’s got that sister strength, and I think she’s going to come out even stronger.”

Sherri, 41, could definitely relate to Star’s heartbreak – she and her comedian husband Jeff Tarpley split last year.

While Star may have Sherri’s support, she’s getting less love these days from Barbara Walters. In her new memoir, Audition, the news legend holds nothing back about the rift between Star and the View’s ladies.

One juicy tidbit?

Babs says the girls were uncomfortable about hiding Star’s gastric bypass surgery. “Joy [Behar], in particular, resented having to go along with a lie that implied all one needed to do was sit-ups and ingest one cookie instead of two.”

Star Feels ‘Fabulous’ After Split

April 29th, 2008

Three-and-a-half years after a fairy-tale wedding, Star Jones quietly filed for divorce from her husband, Al Reynolds, on March 26 in the New York Supreme Court.

 

"I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman," Star said in a statement released to Entertainment Tonight.

 

Meanwhile, Howard Bragman, a spokesman for Al, 39, said, "We’re taking the high road. We’re not playing the divorce out in the press."

 

Star, 46, is celebrating single life by froliking with girlfriends in Costa Rica and Jamaica, hanging out with Miami Heat basketball star Dwayne Wade and dining at trendy NYC restaurants. Denise Rich, who hosted Star’s wedding rehearsal dinner in 2004, tells OK!, "Star has entered a new phase of her life. She’s happy, and I’m proud of her for taking this step."

 

One such NYC date saw Star and a pal at Da Silvano on April 18. A diner tells OK!, "She was wearing loads of diamonds and ws laughing- she looked great. The owner asked how she was, and Star replied, ‘Marvelous, darling, just fabulous!’"

 

There are no hard feelings between the couple whose union has been plagued with divorce rumors since day one. "Star still loves Al, but she doesn’t want a reconciliation," a source close to Star tells OK!. "They plan to remain good friends." 

Star Jones Files For Divorce!

April 23rd, 2008

According to ET, Star Jones and her husband Al Reynolds are ending their marriage. The TV host filed in NYC on March 26 and it was marked as a "Uncontested Matrimonial” case by the court and the records were sealed.

 

Star tells ET in a statement, “Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.”

 

The couple married in November of 2004. They had a very public relationship and garnered much scrunity for it. They have no children.
