Star Jones is filing for divorce! Did we really think it would last? I can't stand that woman!!!


NEW YORK - Three years after tying the knot in a spectacular, over-the-top affair that caused some backlash, Star Jones has decided to end her marriage to banker Al Reynolds.

The 46-year-old TV personality quietly filed divorce papers March 26 in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. The records are sealed, syndicated entertainment show "Entertainment Tonight" reported Wednesday.

But a representative for SHADOW PR, which represents Jones, confirmed to The Associated Press that she is seeking to end the union.

In a statement to "Entertainment Tonight," Jones said: "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."

It's not the approach Jones took when she threw her uber-lavish, Park Avenue wedding to Reynolds in November 2004. She received criticism for endlessly discussing the wedding — and plugging its sponsors — as a co-host on ABC's "The View." The negative reaction to the affair, which was attended by guests ranging from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to Spike Lee, was cited by Barbara Walters as a reason why Jones' contract wasn't renewed by ABC's "The View" in 2006.

The former prosecutor recently hosted a talk show on truTV.

CM - you scared me!! But, then I laughed Star Jones is a nut.

[mpayne]

Awwwwwwww, did Big Al finally come out of the closet?

[TigerGirl1226]

Perez Hilton called this one like the day they got married!

[Carina]

Aghhhh I thought something bad happened!

Anyhoo, when you marry a gay man that will happen. He was gay and trying to convert him obviously didn't work. BTW I have a friend I grew up with that got married and after 9 years had to get a divorce because he was and always be a gay man.

NOT

She looked better with some chunk on her too.

[CM_ANGEL]

Yes, I think she looked better when she was bigger also.

I had to make sure y'all were awake out there!!!

[bette]

DH and I think she looks a bit like a bobblehead doll now.

Be nice ladies I am sure she is in pain and going through a very difficult time. I feel sorry for her especially with all the publicity she had and how she used to talk and talk and talk some more about her hubby to be and the wedding. But a lot of us have been through a divorce and it is never a pleasant experience. I think they said she was seen out with someone already so at least she is moving on.

I'm just glad she is not exploiting her divorce like she did her wedding. Maybe she has learned that private life is best kept private.

Whether or not Al is gay I don't know, and I don't think we should make assumptions until we see definite proof.
