Star Jones is coming back! This time her competion may be Angie Martinez and Wendy Williams. "Fair or not, Star Jones Reynolds has long been labeled as a diva — a perception that has often led to negative publicity.
There was that hasty departure from "The View" last summer. The lavish wedding to her husband, Al, which she promoted relentlessly on the ABC gabfest. And her refusal to confirm or deny a rumored gastric bypass surgery.

Absolute new Star," she said Wednesday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "(A) very happy, healthy Star whose connection is through her family, through her community and completely in touch with what matters in life."

And — get this — she's nervous. She's never done this before. "I'll try not to be nervous," she said. "I'll try not to let my voice squeak."
