CALLIN' NAMES
The other day Star Jones called her The View co-host Joy Behar
"a b***h" live on air yesterday after Behar told Jones to stop talking
about her recent breast life operation. Jones called the show yesterday
to address rumors she was near death after receiving a blood transfusion
following breast enhancement surgery in Los Angeles. Behar appeared
to grow increasingly irritated as Jones kept going on and on about her
surgery. She then grabbed a pen and furiously scribbled a note, gesturing
to co-host Meredith Vieira to read what she had written, tapping on
the paper for emphasis. After Jones remarked, "Last Friday was my
44th birthday, but my boobs still think they're 20", Behar decided
she had heard enough, snapping, "Ok, Star. That's enough about
you. On to us. Bye!" TV censors bleeped out Behar when she added,
"Keep your (breasts) perky!" in a mock-cheerful voice. Jones shot back,
"I'm glad to see you haven't changed. Even today, you are still a b***h."
Producers abruptly ended the call before the fight could escalate. A
spokesman for the show tells the New York Post, "If you watch The View
regularly, Star and Joy enjoy teasing each other. No harm done. There's
not reason to read any more into it than what was on-air."
