Gee, it seems like only yesterday that Star Jones was reveling in all the media attention of her gaudy and over-the-top wedding. Actually it was three and a half years ago. Now, the attention has waned, and I guess marital bliss wasn’t quite what she expected. So Star Jones is seeking a divorce. Now we have the Star Jones Divorce story. It is spreading quickly and should be in the news for awhile to come.

Star Jones Files for Divorce
Former “View” co-host Star Jones has filed for divorce from Al Reynolds, her husband of three-and-a-half years, “Entertainment Tonight” reports.

The filing took place on March 26 in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. Starlet M. Jones versus Al S. Reynolds was marked as an “Uncontested Matrimonial” case by the court and the records were sealed, “E.T.” said.

In a statement released to “Entertainment Tonight,” the 46-year-old former “View” co-host says: “Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.”

Jones married Al Reynolds, 39, at Saint Bartholomew’s Church in New York City on Nov. 13, 2004. The wedding, which had 500 hundred guests, three matrons of honors, 12 bridesmaids and four flower girls, came under scrutiny when Jones discussed its sponsors at length on her ABC show.

An attorney, Jones began her broadcasting career as a commentator on Court TV and spent several years as a legal correspondent for NBC’s “Today” show. She joined “The View” in 1997 and on June 27, 2006, announced she would be leaving the show after being told that her contract wasn’t going to be renewed.

Jones also hosted her own show on cable’s truTV (formerly Court TV). She has authored two books: “You Have to Stand for Something, or You’ll Fall for Anything” and “Shine.”

Personally, while I wish her and her soon-to-be-ex-husband luck, I was never impressed with her when she was on “The View.” Her wedding was one big circus of attention and sponsorship. I’m not surprised it didn’t last.
