Who said it best:
Best Week Ever manages to perfectly describe Star's announcement:

If you didn’t catch this morning’s two minutes of faux affection and genuine awkwardness as Star Jones formally announced her long forseen departure from The View, here’s the clip so that you can more closely examine the nuances of her co-hosts’ Oscar-worthy portrayals of supportive friendship, and then lament the fact that you’ll never get to see Star and future host Rosie O’Donnell angrily try to eat each other to death.

Star out, Al still in closet

The story:
Rosie O'Donnell engineers Star Jones' exit from The View this year.

A Socialite's Life is on the money as to the downside to this dismissal:

People would have tuned in droves to watch the unpleasantness on set between Jones and O'Donnell.

I know I would love to see Star getting a daily bitchslap from Rosie about Big Gay Al and his gender issues.
