Star Jones lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago (about 150 pounds) and has kept it off.In June, she says she was kind of fired from The View, a very popular show she had been cohosting for nine years.
So the question is, what is Star Jones up to now?
She has not updated her website as to her current activities since July. In July she hosted a week of a program called "House Hunters in New York City". Here she helped New York house hunters find their dream home. This program got the highest ratings in HGTV's cable channel's history while she was hosting.
But since then there has been no update posted on her site. So it seems she is taking a well deserved break to relax and regroup from her nine years of TV.
Star Jones is hugely ambitious; she grew up with a single parent, in a housing project, became a lawyer and then became famous on TV. I have no doubt she will be in the public eye again sometime soon.
Update November 17th: Here's a very recent photo of Star Jones at the after party for Dancing with the Stars taken in November 2006.From ET Online: "ET breaks the news that STAR JONES REYNOLDS will be executive producing and appearing on a new TV program. "We are executive producing the first year ender on Black America," Star told us Wednesday night in Los Angeles. "We are doing a full look at the issues, the people, the conversations that were held in Black America, something that... has been a project that I've always wanted to do." Star told us that her show will air on TV One, a cable/satellite network geared towards African American adults."
