Star Jones Ready for Comeback
Has gastric bypass
surgery found a new
cele b rity en d o rser?
A cco rd in g
to
a
slim m ed dow n Star
Jones, it has not.
“I’m not an advo
cate for this procedure
at all," Jones tells JET
in this week’s current
issue. “The last thing I
want to do is for people
to think I’m a poster Star Jones
child for weight loss
surgery."
After years of a public struggle
with her weight, Jones explains she
has a new found strength after ac
knowledging she lost 160 lbs from
a “medical intervention” in 2003.
And herclose friend, actress Vivica
A. Fox, definitely
agrees. “She’sheen
given a second
chance. She's been
reborn.”
Jones, a former
co-host of A BC's
popular m orning
show "The View”,
says she has not
watched an episode
since her departure
last year, but be
Reynolds
lieves the addition
of Whoopi Goldberg is a “good
choice.” “She brings intelligent
diversity which is very, very nice,"
says Jones.
On Monday, Aug. 20, Jones
will make her return toTV with her
self-titled show on Court TV.
