Barbara Walters Brands Herself as an Adulterer, Star Jones Brands Herself as Lying Beard

As part of promoting her book Audition, Barbara Walters, whose wrinkles you may count to find the age of the the TV biz, is throwing everyone under the bus. First it was ex-beau Sen. Edward Brooke, and now Star Jones, who tried reinventing herself as a skinny Court TV host and, well, found little success.

In her memoir, Walters claims Jones forced Walters and the crew to lie on the show about her gastric bypass surgery, which she's only recently come clean about. So how does bitter Star Jones, who's saying goodbye to maybe-gay husband Al Reynolds, feel about Barbara's treatment?

“It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book," Jones told Us Weekly. "It speaks to her true character.”

Wow! A pig must have just flown out of my butt.

I agree with Star.

Never saw that coming.

Barbara is just no character or class - no guessing anymore - the prune just whored herself out to sell a few books. If you dealt with this tired old hag beware - she is taking notes and gonna sell them.

Barbara Walter's life was influenced greatly by her older sister and she's written a beautiful memoir about her life. I read another memoir of a life influence by a sibling that I recommend highly - I actually liked it even more. The memoir is ""My Stroke of Insight"" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Dr Taylor became a Harvard brain scientist to find the cause and cure for schizophrenia because her older brother was a sufferer. Then, crazy as life can be, Dr. Taylor had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible.

What I took away from Dr. Taylor's book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don't have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. ""I want what she's having"", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can!
