Star Jones Returning to Court TV
( A P ) - Star Jones Reynolds has
landed her own daily talk show.
Court TV has hired Reynolds to
host a show about criminal justice
issues that intersect with the pop
culture world. The still untitled
show, which has no title yet, will
likely start early this fall.
It's a return to her roots for
Reynolds, a lawyer who began her
TV career as a legal commentator on
Court TV in 1991. She was an origi­
nal co-host with ABC's "The View,"
starting in 1997.
Star Jones-Reynolds
"This is the perfect time in our
culture to see how the law, politics
and entertainment come together,"
Reynolds said. "Some people say it
has been on a collision. I say it has
been connected."
Reynolds, 44, left "The View" on
bad terms last summer. Told her
contract wasn't goi ng to be renewed,
she beat co-host and executive pro­
ducer Barbara Walters to the punch
in announcing her departure. That
angered W alters, and Reynolds
wasn't allowed on the air again.
