Anderson Cooper Calls Star Jones Out On Air!

We see a cat fight in the works here…Star Jones stirred the pot back in July, calling out Anderson Cooper when he told America he was gay; she claimed he only came out to boost his shows ratings.

We’re a little confused why Anderson’s retaliated so late in the game but for what it’s worth, it was pretty fierce and funny to hear what he had to say.

According to the LA Times…

“I haven’t thought about Star Jones in I don’t know how long. I was unaware she was even on TV, but she apparently shows up on a morning show,” Cooper said Thursday on his show…”It so annoyed me…. If I was wanting to boost ratings I would have waited to announce it on a very special episode,” he said, “that would have been promoed for weeks and weeks.”

But the silver fox didn’t stop there. After debunking Jones’ theory, Cooper took a walk down Star’s self-promotional memory lane.

“I seem to recall her hawking her wedding every single day to get free products when she was on ‘The View,’ ” Cooper said. “And I seem to recall her lying about her gastric-bypass surgery and making everybody else lie about it as well.”

As if we could barely contain our joy over this, Cooper delivered the final blow to Star’s ego with a sentiment from his mother, designer and socialite Gloria Vanderbilt. “My mom was like, ‘Who is Star Jones?’ ” Cooper recalled.

Star Jones RETURNS To “The View”, Says Her Departure Was UGLY (VIDEO)

According to Theybf:

After a five year absence, Star Jones returned to “The View” today, as a guest, for a semi-uncomfortable interview about her weight, heart disease and why she left the show.  Watch it inside…..

It wasn’t always pretty, but Star Jones faced the ladies of “The View” today helping raise awareness about heart disease, gastric bypass and talking about her departure 6 years ago.

Barbara Walters commented: “I say this genuinely: I am so happy to welcome back Star Jones.”

SIDEBAR:  How geniune it came off is up for debate.

Star commented on the past five years saying, “You’ve got a new  new couch…you’ve got two black girls. Sherri and I are not the same person. Elisabeth had more children. Joy got married!”

Star tried to stop Ms. Walters when she tried to talk about the past saying, ”Are we really going to go here, Barbara? Do we care at this point?! I honestly don’t.”

But Star went ahead and said the reason she left the show the way she did was (in addition to her contract just not being renewed), “It was ugly. … It was a bad emotional time.  I made the decision that I wanted to go out on my own terms.”

Then Barbara talked about Star’s gastric bypass saying,

“Just to clear it up, we tried to protect you.  We did lie! (Joy Behar also interjected that Star asked them to lie about the gastric bypass.) We were very worried about you.

Babs later added, “You look great. You look healthy. And we really are happy that you’re back.”

Also, Star’s book Satan Sisters, is being made into a VH1 movie that will be produced by Suzanne de Passe.
