Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ????

[Guest guest]

The following appeared in yesterday's (Oct 6th) New York Post, an item from

their notorious Page Six gossip section, and I thought it might be something of

interest to all. Here it is verbatim:

<<October 6, 2003 -- WHY isn't Star telling the truth about her

stomach-stapling? The queen-size host of " The View " underwent gastric bypass

surgery,

as we reported in August, after she fainted from the altitude in Colorado and

doctors told her she had to lose weight. But when someone recently

congratulated her on her shrinkage, she attributed it to " dieting. " Scoffed an

insider,

" This is a woman who couldn't diet if she was in Ethiopia during a famine.

She's looking to capitalize on this somehow. " >>

Now I do recall back in August when Page Six first reported that Star

had secretly had RNY, which supposedly allegedly was done during the show's

hiatus, and which supposedly allegedly was filmed by Barbara Walters production

company for a special later in the year. I recall also at that time that

representatives of Star , when contacted to comment on the story, said that

(paraphrased) --Ms has a policy of never addressing publicly matters

concerning her private life-- ...so who knows! I purposely tuned into

the View gagfest today and lo and behold Star is looking a bit more svelte

(good for her!)

Anyway, I respectfully request that anyone ired by any of the wording in the

Post's column please NOT shoot the messenger, but instead direct this alleged

supposed anger to http://www.pagesix.com.
