How long will the bosses of ABC’s The View put up with Star Jones and her outrageous behavior? While on a break from The View, Star went off to the West Coast to have plastic surgery. She got a breast lift and a tummy tuck. Problems arose during the surgery because Star is anemic. After her brief medical scare, doctors advised her to stay put on the West Coast. That delayed her return to the East Coast and her job on The View. It didn’t go over well when Star was photographed drinking champagne with her husband at a well known Hollywood hotspot. Why was she drinking so soon after major surgery? It also didn’t go over well when she called in to talk to her co-hosts on The View. They wanted to know what happened. Meredith Vieira, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar started asking Star what happened, and Star went on and on. Finally, Joy busts in and says, Enough Star! We have to get back to the show! Well, Star got mad and told Joy, I see you haven’t changed! You are still a B**ch! The technicians were slow in cutting her off and everybody heard it. The expressions on the women’s faces were priceless. They just sat there in shock, and the show cut to commercials. Joy and Star do not get along. Back in December, they had it out over the air as they discussed religion. The producers are fed up with Star and her behavior. If they replace her on the show who will they get? Who could replace Star Jones? How about Sheryl Lee Ralph, the wife of PA State Senator Vincent Hughes? The former Dreamgirl would be perfect. She’s attractive, personable and very in touch with a variety of social issues. Not to mention television viewers love her from her work on two long running series, Moesha and It’s A Living. What do you think? Who could replace Star on The View? Tell me your suggestions at

Another problem plagued TV star is American Idol Judge Paula Abdul. What is going on with her? If she’s not crying on air or laughing at nothing, she acts like she’s out of it. Last week, her hair was a mess. Too many extensions and she looked crazy. The producers of the show are tired of the antics. After last year’s scandal with Corey Clark and her begging for men on other networks, they feel as though they don’t need the drama. Who do you think could replace Paula Abdul? Do you think she will be back next season?

Patti couldn’t take it. She was freezing up there, and she couldn’t perform the way she wanted. As she struggled on stage, she started to cry. She apologized to the audience describing it as the worst night of her life.
