With all due respect, I think you may be reading into this situation a little bit much. Unless you work for ABC, Barbara Walters (or her production company) or Star Jones you probably have no idea as to whether Star making the announcement early was a big deal or whether it would have mattered had it been someone other than Star. Putting aside that this is show business, I think that disregarding an agreement made with your boss (and the company who employs you) is a BIG deal and I would probably expect to be terminated as a result. I don't think this is a race thing or an "everyone hates Star Jones" thing....it's just business and in business, people get the boot for things like that.

ETA: just saw the posts above and mine is a bit repetitive, sorry!
