I and some of my co-workers were flipping through the channels today while eating lunch and came upon The View, that talk show with Barbara Walters, Meredith Veira, Star Jones,Joy Behar, and that new young gal (don't know her name). Somebody commented on how much thinner Star Jones looks. Then this great debate started over did she have WLS or is she on a diet. I've looked all over the net and can't seem to find an answer, well not one that's reliable. I was curious about whether or not anyone here knows.

I know that at one time Star Jones made a big stink about how Al Roker shouldn't have had WLS, so I find it hard to believe she'd have it. Who knows though, people change their minds all the time and she probably wants to look great for her upcoming wedding.

Anyway, this isn't a big deal, just a curiousity. And if I can find out something maybe my friends here at work can find some other stupid thing to bicker over, LOL!

No idea Vivian but I thought I read an article recently where she was talking about her weight.

I saw The View a few weeks ago and noticed her looking thinner.I know last season she had started getting into some fitness regimen and was planning on keeping up with it(even though yes,she did say she was happy being a plus sized woman)for her health.I doubt she'd go the WSL route and personally,I hope she doesn't,loses alot,and then promotes healthy eating and exercise....I think we need more of the stars doing it that way.Nothing against those who go the surgery method,but with so many going that way,I don't see the rest of society learning about a healthier method of losing the pounds when quite a few look up to the stars.Anyways...thats just my rambling opinion ;o)

I don't know: I don't watch the View. But I found some info for you. Apparently in May 2003 Star announced that said she'd be consulting with Dr. Marina Kurian, an obesity expert at Lenox Hill who operated on Roker, and she was considering the surgery then. Here's a link: http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:z4d-AUDBVn0J:archives.newyorkish.net/051903/051903.htm+star+jones+obese&hl=en
