Former “The View” co-host Star Jones confirmed that she had gastric bypass surgery in 1993 after the 5 foot, 5 inch television personality ballooned to 307 pounds. Seventeen years after the surgery, Jones now weighs 150 pounds. Jones is rumored to have received a tummy tuck and breast lift. I could justify those procedures. After losing half her body weight, a tuck and lift were probably necessary. Now that Jones is up and about again following cardiac heart surgery in March 2010, her new role on “Celebrity Apprentice” has found her in a bit of turmoil with “Real Atlanta Housewives” “star” NeNe Leakes. Her talentless co-stars – NeNe and LaToya Jackson – had the nerve to gang up on Jones. If anything, they need to follow the lead of a true black woman. Jones didn’t gain popularity off a stupid reality show. And, LaToya the Friendly Ghost needs to shush. Too bad Bubbles didn’t smack her during that Animal Planet documentary on her late brother. I admire the class of Jones, who has refused to take part in NeNe’s garbage.
