Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: Star & GAl Headed To Splitsville?+J. Holiday’s New Chick?

    Star & GAl Headed To Splitsville?+J. Holiday’s New Chick?


    Photog: Nunez/Wireimage

    There have been rumblings for a while, but now someone in Star’s camp is putting out statements.  Sources are reporting Star Jones is about to give GAl Reynolds the Prada boot out of her life.  Reportedly, a source close to Star has stated:

    “Star is planning to divorce Al…I think Star felt Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting. She resented it. Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her.”  

    Are we really surprised?  Dude did lose/quit his high paid banker job damn near right after they got married.  And all his party time and chill time with his boyfriends for damn sure didn’t allow him to find a new job.  We all saw it coming.  And I wouldn’t be surprised if he dropped a “Terry McMillan story” on her ass either.  Good luck with that Star. 

     J. Holiday has been spotted extra hugged up recently all over the MIA with a particular girl.  And the mystery chick actually has been revealed to be his co-star video chick from his “I Won’t Tell” video with Fat Joe.  Her name is Deanna Pena, also known as Miss Dade County.  And of course, she’s also a up and coming hip hop recording artist.  YBF snitches in Miami caught them out and about in several different places together all over each other.  New years Eve parties, out in South Beach on weekends, and just chillin’ arounf the MIA.  So video chicks are the new wifey material?  Whatev.

      Why you hatin’ on video chicks?! They gotta make money too! I know its a profession akin to stripping or something, but if they didn’t look like they do, what would inspire me to work out? Nothing.

      -they said that Star had to have some girlfriend intervention. Her best girlfriends got together (Aunt Viv, Vanessa Bell-Calloway, etc) had to put her up on game.
      -At first she didnt want to believe it, she was insecure, but since she lost the weight she feels confidence to let his ass go.
      - And he signed a three yr. pre-nup…it should interesting to see what his BITCHASSNESS…will get

      You know they say that the ones with the biggest weddings have the biggest divorces. Another example of this is Bishop Weeks and Juanita Bynum. We’ll see what happens with MRS. and MRS. Star Jones. What a shame. But, Star can find herself a new man. She’s lost weight and has a new look. She’ll be fine!

      OK, maybe Al shoulda found another job but with all the money Star makes, I’m not surprised he didn’t have much incentive to continue working. And Star may need to rethink her “old fashioned” values…a man cannot be everything to a woman in this day and age…why would she want him to support her financially anyway when she can obviously do that for herself?? At least he CAN support her financially if he absolutely had to…he has the potential. I just don’t see why she’s divorcing him b’c of those reasons…why doesn’t she look at what Al does give her…maybe he does a good job of supporting her emotionally. I’m just saying, don’t expect a man to do it all b’c they are only human after all.

      I do believe she said he didnt support her financially, emotionally,physically….he didnt lose his job he quit his job. I beleive shes also divorcing him because he’s taking up relations with MEN…And who in this day and age want to put that out in Public. Maybe know AL can give Johnny Gill a run for his money…with Eddie Murphy.

      Poor Star, I was hoping he did not want her all for the money. I am still suspicious and wondering if he has a lil “How ya doin” in him. She always seemed more into him than he was into her. Another marriage failed..its sad to hear but not surprising

      This must be a very slow news day. Other sites reported the exact same article word for word weeks ago! To be exact, check out Mediatakeout. That is if it is still up.

      Anyway, who didn’t know this was going to happen. It was doomed before it got started. I pray that they can work it out. Star has been through alot for trying to get her hassle on. She is right, once you married a women he should be able to provide. Al need to get his freeloading butt together. He is probably a good encourager. Yeah, baby do this. You can millions do that. This is a sad situation!

      I hope he is not guy. But, the fingerwaves did make me wonder?

      How rude Ms. Fletcher. For starters, MTO is not a repuitable blog so no blogs report what they report on the same day (if ever) b/c it’s full of funny yet totally wrong information. Secondly, assuming most of us go there daily, you’re not hipping anyone to this news being old. Don’t you think Natasha scans all the blogs and choses to put on YBF what’s worthy and maybe half way true? Lastly, Star’s a fag hag so since this isn’t news to anybody I think it’s fit to report it on a slow news morning-the story would have been equally blah and “tell us something we didn’t know” 2 weeks ago so who’d be pressed to report it when there was more Why Be Effie stuff to report weeks ago? Be nice.

      Like we didn;t see a diovorce in less four years from the Starr Jones wedding. As sooon as I saw the guy I knew he was batting for the other team and not what Starr needs. Lesson to us all never ever marry your man hoe. All they are good for is getting your groove back… no pun intended…thats it. J. Holidqay is another Mrs.

      You know what, though it was very predictable that this marriage wouldnt last, and although Star pissed me the hell off by making her wedding into an event instead of what it is actually supposed to be — (the uniting of two (2) people/families), i am really sad that it has come to this. It is, IMO, very unfortunate to see the disintigration of black union. I was hoping upon hope that my gaydar malfunctioned, but I suppose not. Shame.

      Everybody but Star’s dumb low self-esteem ass knew this foolishness of a marriage was not going to work. I thought for sure she would’ve listened to the truths being spoken about that man since day one. I bet they never even had sex…star should’ve stuck with that white man she was seeing bak when she was on the view. B/c clearly everything in her view was pitch black. How you doin…alllllllllllllllllll

      J. Holiday I like you and all, but ain’t concerned nan one bit about some video chick you poppin off with….ain’t that what you suppose to in this business?! Get in where you fit.

      The girl in the J.Holiday’s pic kind of looks like actress Reagan Gomez-Preston from the old “The Parenthood” show. Remember that joint with Robert Townsend and Suzzanne Douglas? Reagan was also in the Trio movie series as well - I think Trios 2? or 3? One of ‘em. Anyway, kind of looks like her from the side view.

      Video chicks can be wifey material. What’s with the suggestion that they’re all ignant or morally suspect? Tracey Edmonds was a video chick. That’s where she met Baby Face. Now she’s one of the most powerful Black women in the media during and after being his wifey material.

      I love J.holiday and all, but what is it with these guys always getting together with girls whose race is not specific. I mean is she hispanic, is she mixed…? Whats wrong with a good old fashioned black girl who doesn’t neccessarily have to be super light skinned. I guess these guys want a girl who’s the farthest thing from black but still ethnic enough to make him credible…just sayin…

      I feel you Janelle. Just take a look at j.holiday’s myspace page. The only three girls on his top 8 are slutty spanish ones. I guess now we know his preference. I mean, the majority of video girls are black and yet he managed to seek out the latina one. Damn shame.
