Star Wars -- with Barbara!

It's Star Jones vs. Barbara Walters in an all-out war -- and only "Extra" has Barbara firing back today at the explosive new comments Star just made to Us Weekly.

Star said, "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to... speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character."

In Barbara's new memoir, she revealed that she and the other ladies of "The View" covered up Star's gastric bypass surgery -- a secret pact Walters now regrets. "Doing that was a mistake... we all did, in a sense, lie for her," says Walters, "we didn't want to out her. She was very adamant about not wanting to admit it."

Although Jones is also hissing to the magazine about the TV legend's affair with a married senator, Barbara is refusing to exchange insults with Star -- for whom she feels compassion. "She's going through a difficult time and I wish her well," says Walters, "I will never forget Star's contribution to 'The View.'"

Star Jones is disgusting! She made such a big deal about her wedding and it was all for show; she HAD to KNOW her future husband was gay!! But she got married anyway, had it all paid for, and the world had to suffer thru listening to her talk about it constantly! Now who has the last laugh? Certainly not Star…..

She’s just angry because Barbara’s dishing on the ‘secret’ she made ‘The View’ ladies keep for her sorry butt. Star was so intent on keeping her weight-loss solution under wraps because all she ever did was BRAG ENDLESSLY about how she loved herself the way she was, pretending to embrace her hugeness, and ignoring the obvious health threats. So she really looked a fool when she finally did something about it. It was the first time she had ‘egg on her face’ that she didn’t wipe it off with a hunk of bread and down it!! They’re all phony; Star’s just now fair game, now that she’s off the show, and she doesn’t like it. Ouch!
