OK...the very LAST thread that I ever thought that I would start would be about "The View," considering that I've never seen an entire episode all the way through. (I also can't believe that there wasn't a View thread in all of OSTS.) What I really know about this show in particular you can fit on a thimble, but what I know from secondary accounts is that Star Jones is an asshole. Funny and brash is one thing; loud and obnoxious and throwing your weight around is another. Put it this way - she sucked at the Emmy's, and that's a compliment.
Here's an article from Today's NY Post. Some of you will say that it's her wedding and she can do whatever she wants, and that's fine. All I'm saying is that I think that there's just something totally wrong here with whoring your wedding out for freebies and that from what I know about this bitch, it's not surprising.

ABC'S DIM VIEW OF STAR PLUGS
ABC has put a halt to Star ("Bride-zilla") Jones' greedy on-air plugging of her wedding suppliers to make sure the mentions don't violate FCC rules.
As Jones' Nov. 13 wedding to Al Reynolds draws nearer, Star has run afoul of her network bosses because everything connected with the wedding invitations, flowers, dresses, makeup, hairdressing Jones got for free in return for promises of publicity.
One angry vendor who claims Jones guaranteed to do a segment on "The View" about products going into her "goodie bag" recently received an e-mail from ABC daytime director Randall Barone.
Barone's e-mail stated: "I understand that you have made arrangements to provide certain products for inclusion in a segment on 'The View' regarding Star Jones' bridal party gift bag. That segment will not be airing on 'The View,' nor will these products appear on 'The View.' "
The vendor then got an e-mail from Jones, which stated: "I have recently been informed that 'The View' has re-evaluated its needs and does not plan to include this [wedding] segment . . . and thus will not be able to give you the thanks you very much deserve [for contributing to her goodie bag.]
"Not to worry . . . My public relations firm (PMK) and I have agreed to do several segments with one of the major syndicated evening entertainment programs . . . Further, [we] are in the process of deciding which print . . . outlet that we will give the photo of the goodie bag and its contents to."
The vendor was unimpressed with Star's promises and pulled out of the "goodie bag."
Karl Nilsson, a rep for "The View," said: "We consider the wedding-related segments [that have already aired] . . . to be of legitimate interest to the viewer, and we believe that full disclosure regarding any promotional consideration was made, consistent with the law and industry practice."
Jones fumed to PAGE SIX: "I can assure you I have done nothing illegal, immoral or unethical and more importantly, nothing ABC has not agreed to and signed off on! I can assure you I never personally promised a segment on 'The View.' "
When we asked if there was anything in her wedding she had actually paid for, Jones snarled: "My wedding is my business it's not your business . . . In case you haven't figured it out, I can do whatever I choose to do with my wedding!"
