Playboy isn’t talking but it has been reported that they have offered
Ashley Simpson $4 million to pose for them. Us magazine reported that
Ashley’s publicist said she was offered money to show her “lady parts”
in the legendary magazine. The publicist said she turned it down. The
Playboy Magazine representative said “we don’t make 4 million dollar
offers to anyone.”
Things are heating up between Star Jones Reynolds and Barbara Walters,
according to People Magazine. People reports that Walters said she felt
“betrayed” by Reynolds’s comments to the magazine. Previously, Reynolds
had said that she felt like she was “fired” from the ABC morning show,
The View.
Today, Reynolds told the New York Daily News (NYDN), "For Barbara to say
she felt betrayed is the height of hypocrisy." Star told People “I
thought the audience deserved to have their Star tell them what the deal
is. To now be accused of betrayal by someone I looked at as a mentor,
when I was finally speaking up for myself instead of letting the
executives and tabloids speak for me, is disheartening."
Walters and Reynolds have not spoken to each other since Tuesday’s
show. People magazine calls the departure “dramatic” and according to
the NYDN, the call to say Reynolds should not return for Wednesday's
episode went from the network directly to her agent.
Star says “If anyone should feel betrayed, it should be me." Star had
announced Tuesday that she would be leaving the show in July, but ABC
asked her not to come back at all. When the show came back on the air
Wednesday, Walkers said "We didn't expect her to make this statement
yesterday. She gave us no warning."
Us magazine says Star’s replacement, Rosie O’Donnell, is not talking.
When asked about the feud by bloggers at Jossip, Rosie said “I’m not at
liberty to discuss it,” with an exaggerated wink and nod. “Well you know
how much I like her,” Rosie said coyly when Jossip asked if she’s upset
she won’t be cohosting with Jones. “(But) she thinks she’s Beyoncé.”
The magazine calls Star Jones dishonorably discharged from The View.
One Life to Live actress, Renee Elise Goldsberry replaced Star
temporarily on the View. Renee Elise is not a real lawyer like Star, but
plays one on TV.
According to Bill Carter of the New York Times, ABC executives and
Walters thought a deal had been worked out for Jones to leave. The
decision had been made by ABC "months ago," Walters said on the air.
Star’s on-air statement on Tuesday should have been made two days
later. The show had planned to send Jones off with a party and farewell
show on July 13th.
