No Reason Yet Given In Star Jones's Divorce From Gay Husband
Posted by Seth at 2:00 AM on April 24, 2008
After three-and-a-half years of wardrobe-sharing bliss, standing side-by-side through the good times (the Branded Wedding of the Century, brought to you by 1-800-Flowers, Smirnoff Ice, and the Portugal Tourism Board) and the bad (her Barbara Walters-issued View death warrant), ETOnline is now reporting that Star Jones has filed for divorce from husband Al Reynolds. From their Star! On! Her! Own! Exclusive!:
STAR JONES (46) has filed for divorce from husband of three-and-a-half years AL REYNOLDS (39).
The filing took place on March 26 in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. Starlet M. Jones versus Al S. Reynolds was marked as an "Uncontested Matrimonial" case by the court and the records were sealed.In a statement released exclusively to Entertainment Tonight, the former View co-host says: "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
As tempting as it is for Pollyanna Jones to turn all of this heartache into a refreshing batch of divorceade, the New Star, a persona refined on her short-lived Court TV talk show, would never seek to pair the end of her marriage with crass sponsorships. Much to media and trial-watchers' chagrin, there will therefore be no free samples of Cinnabon, Herbal Essences, and OUT magazine distributed during custody hearings over the fate of the couple's only child, their much fussed-upon maltese, Pinky.

@Sweet Panda Love: don't worry. here's one bitchy fag to defend you. and anyone who quotes "valley of the dolls" is OK in my book.
am i just cold-hearted, or does anyone else also feel that star jones' misery makes them giggly and giddy with delight? "that little whore makes me feel nine feet tall!"

So she wants privacy now, eh? Well I want to know who got the Tiffany ice-cream scoop?

She filed? So that must mean that he was the one doing the chasing and bottle of scotch swinging.

Awesome, best news I heard all day. This means my bitchy niece will get her Shamu size ass handed on a platter by her gay husband as well. She was a nightmare bride, (she could have thought Star a thing or two) and I hope she gets what comes to her....

Oh, I feel for Star. You know how bitchy fags can be.
(Before you sic GLAAD on my ass, any gay of quality would know that's a Valley of the Dolls quote.)

No no, Star... we were subject to every fucking iota of this sham of a marriage from the outset; it's only fair that all of the ugliness of the breakup gets strewn around as well.
You can't have it both ways, bitch.

Doh! Star is gonna teach Terry McMillan a thing or two about properly venting Gay Husband Betrayal anger.
Mark my words: Oprah's couch is gonna be ROCKIN'.

I'm just waiting for Big Gay Al's Big Gay Non-Revelation. Coming soon to a issue of the Advocate, or Out, or Genre, or..well you get the drift.

@mothrafairy: I'm sure Star and Terry are already shopping a script around Hollywood. Whitney would star in her big screen return. Tyler Perry would support in a role he knows far too well...

That was just an excerpt from Star's statement. She also said, "I'm sorry I married Gay Al."

Moochia: best comment. Gestinelli had everything...except compatible sexuality. I'm lost in all the sham hook-ups; where's Al Roker and, who is Toothy Tile?

I'm lost in all the sham marriages. To whom was Al Roker affianced? And have we nailed down Toothy Tile's I.D. yet? Oy, I can't keep up!

Star, your 15 minutes are up, and dumping the queen isn't going to help get them back!

Toothy Tile is an old friend from Casablanca's column on E!...a closeted gay actor who doesn't act so closeted.

@mothrafairy: Honey, I met Terry McMillan's husband and he had so much sugar in his blood I had to turn my Gaydar off so it could cool down...
Oprah's couch is already rockin, rest assured...with Gail.
And now Star Jones has to look ahead (about a year or so from now) to her ex and how 'happy' he is now that he's "found the right man". He's good looking enough though. But there seemed to be too much first person persistence that Al Reynolds was gay and it just never stopped. What do these guys do, pop a cialis, think about money and men and get on with 'the business'?
I'm getting a headache.
Why are they all getting their husbands from "The Catch"? (LA)
