Are Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones all friendly now?

They'd like us to believe so!

Rosie admits that the two are no longer at odds with each other.

According to Ro, she says "Listen, it was never a personal thing with her. We're both strong women. We're the same exact age and I admired her in the beginning and then I watched her sort of get swept away in the insanity of fame. I thought it was amazing to see her the other day on Oprah. To see her evolved into the woman that she is…I liked her. I watched her on that show and was really proud of her and happy for her."

In fact, the two are even hanging out together now. Rosie admits, “We're actually having dinner next week."

And we bet there will be some Barbara Walters and Elizabitch Hasselhoff shit-talking going on!

Next thing you know, O'Donnell and Jones will be drinking Coors Lite and crafting together in Long Island!

Star Jones recently revealed that at the young age of 19 doctors discovered a tumor in Jones' chest that could have been terminal!

Before surgically removing the tumor, doctors told Star she may only have 9 months to live!!

Even though the removal of the tumor saved her life, the former TV personality struggled immensely with the scar the surgery left behind.

"I was diagnosed with a tumor in my chest cavity… It left me with some physical scars and some emotional ones and I used to do everything in my power to hide the scar on the center of my chest," Star recalled. "I had a complete nervous breakdown, almost. Anxiety attack, crying because I saw my chest with stitches and sutures and it really devastated me."

Star was able to come to terms with the scar due to her father's support and reassurance!

You mean she wasn't birthed by Ursulla the Sea Witch and Donkey Kong????

Says Jones, “[He] said, ‘Baby, the way you’re built, the brothers aren’t looking at that scar.’ I’ll never forget it as long as I live. I thought to myself, ‘That man loves me.’”

We think Papa Jones was trying to tell Star that baby got back!

The former co-host of The View defended her decision to get gastric bypass surgery because the damage the radiation treatments that followed the tumor removal completely wrecked her thyroid.

The good ol' thyroid excuse!

"My thyroid was completely irradiated…So I saw myself balloon over the years and then that coupled with being lethargic and sedentary and overeating and relying on food, it just became an epidemic," Jones explained.

And what about Star's sit-down with the Big O?

“[Oprah] gives you a very safe place to share and sort of free yourself from demons …Oprah has been very candid about her weight struggles and I think it gave me a little bit of camaraderie to know that I was not just talking to her but I was talking to a number of her viewers who face the same struggle daily…” said Jones on her interview with the talk show queen set to air today, Wednesday.

Is Star Jones on her way to becoming an inspiration???

Who would have guessed!

On Wednesday Oprah will speak with ousted View member Star Jones regarding her rapid weight loss and its surrounding controversy.

The fur-loving former attorney argues that her gastric bypass surgery was not "an easy way out."

In the episode, which has already been taped, Star refers to her weight problem as an addiction, saying, "I was an addict for all practical purposes, that I had never stuck to a real diet, that I'd never stuck to a real exercise program, and that when confronted by my doctor and the doctor said if you don't make changes, you will die. I had no choice. … When you hear people say, oh, you took the easy way out, I would have longed for an easy way. It was not an easy way. It was this — the hardest struggle of my whole entire life and I still struggle."

We wonder what sort of wisdom The O will offer Star!

Star Jones isn't the only one who's found happiness since her divorce.

Al Reynolds. has found someone of his own.

And it's with a FEMALE!!!!

Al's new chick with a dick girlfriend is Miami attorney Nicole Hutchinson.

And, according to a source, B.G.A. even purchased an engagement ring for her at Tiffany & Co.!

Did he use Star's money to buy that???

The anonymous source, probably Al himself, said, "He shopped alone until he found something that he liked. Then he had one of the female employees help firm up his decision."

Reynolds' rep - he has one? - is denying the engagement rumors, saying "Al Reynolds was shopping for a piece of jewelry for a Valentine's Day gift for his mother - who lives in Virginia - and not an engagement ring."

As for Star's thoughts on Big Gay Al dating someone new, a pal of the former portly TV host says, "It won't faze her. Star and Al don't even talk anymore. I think she'd be genuinely happy to hear that Al has moved on."

And he's moved on - with a FEMALE!

Like many other celebrities, Star Jones escaped the cold weather with a holiday trip to St. Barth's.

Enjoying the sunshine, the former View host stripped down to a white teeny bikini.

Apart from the gastric bypass scars, she doesn't look that bad!

Good for her!

Keep it up, Star!

Star Jones is saying that a bad case of mold has kicked her out of her apartment.

And she's not happy about it!

The former TV personality and current hasbeen is suing the condo board of her New York apartment for a nice little sum of $700,000.

Mold can actually be pretty toxic, wrecking all sorts of respiratory havoc, and is present in a lot of older buildings. Jones said the board was well aware of the problem, but failed to rectify it, so she's had to move out to comparable housing, which has cost the poor thing $17,861 a month.

If that's how much her former apart was worth, the walls should have been able to clean themselves.

Is she sure that wasn't her career growing green stuff on it?

She should find a new place with a really nice View.

Somehow Star Jones just can't get over the past.

She'll mention The View or how badly she was treated whenever she ca!

And just recently, Jones had an interview with Essense magazine where she reveals some more about her past job.

If you recall, Star used to work at The View for nine years until her contract wasn't renewed back in 2006. But, she says that the other women on the show were very "hateful" towards her as she was leaving.

However, Barbara Walters isn't taking any of that.

In a response to Jones' remarks, Walters said, "Star had wonderful years with us on The View. And, I think The View made Star a star."

Very true!

Walters also said she wishes "her well."

Wonder if Jones will respond?
