Transformations: Star Jones Finally Opens Up About Her Body In Leading Beauty Magazine
There's just over a month to go until Star Jones's return to TV, a full year after an ugly power play saw her squeezed out of her co-host chair at The View and publicly shamed by daytime potentate Barbara Walters. Of course, the pudgy, pampered Star of yore is virtually unrecognizable from the Star of today--streamlined, bespectacled, and ready for the serious business of yammering on interminably with D-list celebrities on Court TV. Jones is finally opening up about her dramatic physical transformation in an essay she penned for Glamour magazine:

"I wrote an article because I really wanted to go as in-depth as possible about the way I've changed physically over the last 10 years on the air," Reynolds, 45, said recently while promoting her new Court TV (soon to be truTV) talk show. "And I thought that that would be the most effective way to answer everybody's questions." [...]
"I actually like seeing the old pictures because what it says to me is, `You never allow yourself to get there again,'" she told reporters, according to AP Radio News. "It was dangerous to me. Very dangerous. I was killing myself."

The first-person piece will finally answer the question of whether or not the celebrity lawyer resorted to gastric bypass surgery to help her drop the extra pounds--something she's refused to acknowledge until now. Still, maintaining a healthy weight over the long term is a formidable challenge, and Reynolds deserves kudos for successfully adopting her new lifestyle of eating several walnut-sized meals over the course of the day, accompanied by a vigorous Pilates, speed-walking, and belly dancing exercise regimen overseen by husband/stylist/life coach Al Reynolds.
