NEW YORK (Feb. 1) - TruTV has canceled Star Jones Reynolds' legal-focused talk show after a six-month run.

The last episode of the show, which aired at 3 p.m. weekdays, will be Friday . "Arrest & Trial" will run in that slot.

What's Your Take?

"Due to the rebranding and programming refocus of the network, truTV and Star Jones Reynolds have mutually agreed to cease production of 'The Star Jones Show,"' said a memo from Marc Juris, executive vice president and general manager of the channel formerly known as Court TV.

The show, which began in August, showcased Reynolds' work as a TV host and former lawyer. She will remain with the network as a contributor to the channel's trial coverage.

Jones Reynolds, who was an assistant district attorney and senior assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York, began her broadcast career with Court TV in 1991. She also has worked for NBC and "Inside Edition" and became co-host of ABC chatfest "The View" in 1997.

She left "The View" in 2006 after her contract wasn't renewed.

LORD HAVE MERCY. I HAD ALREADY SAID SHORTLY AFTER HER SHOW CAME ON THE AIR THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO KEEP STAR JONE'S SHOW ON THE AIR LONG. AND I KNEW THIS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT STAR IS DOWN TO EARTH AND SHE DOESN'T CATER AND KISS UP TO WHITE GUESTS LIKE OPRAH DOES. SHE PRESENTED HERSELF AS A SMART BLACK WOMAN AND SHE SAID WHAT SHE FELT. IT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HER BEING TOO SERIOUS. THAT'S A BUNCH OF BULL, BECAUSE SHE WAS OFTEN JOKING AROUND AND BEING LIGHTHEARTED. I WATCHED HER SHOW EVERYDAY, SO I KNOW THIS. THE REAL REASON THAT THEY CANCELLED HER SHOW IS BECAUSE SHE WAS BEING TOO "BLACK" FOR THEM. BOTTOM LINE! AND I'M SURE THAT STAR KNOWS THAT. HOPEFULLY SHE WILL LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT TRUTH!

Well, there goes my nap time. LOL. She is a "wannabe" and it shows. PLUS..........is that real FUR she is wearing in one of the photos?
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do wish they had continued with more live court coverage in her spot though.

GOOD! She ruined her own career when she tried to be Princess Diana for her wedding and used The View to promote herself and others so that she could get all the stuff for her wedding free. I lost TOTLAL respect for her after she did that, and when it became apparent that she REALLY did think she was a STAR and deserved all the attention of one! She 'over did' herself and the public took notice and asked her to step down from her (fantasy) throne! LOL

She just didn't appear to be the same smart person she was before the weight loss. A person has to adjust and her make up and clothing didn't do her justice. Perhaps she'll go back to being an attorney and do some pro bono work.

Good! Now if they just fire the hasellbeck bitch on the view, tv will be a better place

I didn't like her on the view. I don't like her person, She is full of herself. She was a lot more tolerable when she was fat. She is dishonest and phoney. Her show on court TV wasn't that bad. I'm sure she couldn't get along with the new people and they are happy to get rid of her.

STAR YOUR SHOW WAS NOT INTERESTING, U MAYBE SHOULD GO BACK TO LAW!

A black mother from the YARD

inhuman HATERS. I can hardly breath. Keep-on-shining-on girl.God's opening
another door right now for you.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE SITE FOR RACISM, I NEVER KNEW THAT SO MUCH HATE COULD BE AMOUNG PEOPLE IN THESE DAYS AND TIMES. ''MAYBE I'VE MISSED SOMETHING, BUT THERE IS KNOW SUCH THING AS''YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME, OR I'M BETTER THAN YOU, ''IN THE END WE'RE ALL MAGGOT FOOD''.MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, AND GAVE YOU A CLEAN HEART, BECAUSE WITH THE HATE I'M READING ''JESUS'' NOW I KNOW WHY OUR CHILDREN, ARE SO SCREWED UP''BIPOLARS, SCHIIZOPHRENIAS''ECT..... BECAUSE THEY CAME FROM THE DEPTHS OF HATE. WE'RE NOT AS MUCH AS A PILE OF DIRT, ''READ YOUR BIBLE'' THOSE OF YOU WHO BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE'' WE CAME FROM DUST'' AND THE DUST WE WILL RETURN, I WILL SAY ONCE AGAIN, IF ANYONE THINKS THEY BETTER THAN ANOTHER YOU'RE A PRODUCT OF YOUR OWN MAKING, AND THAT'S SO SAD, ''PLEASE GO TO CHURCH SOMEWHERE ON SUNDAY'' MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU.

all haters! she looks amazing....i'm sure STAR will move on to bigger and better..keep your head!

Bormanathome 01:28:59 PM Feb 02 2008

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO COMMENT ABOUT HER LOOKS........YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! USUALLY I 'LL SAY PEOPLE CAN'T HELP WHAT THEY WERE BORN WITH BUT....STAR SHOULD'VE SAVED SOME OF THE MONEY SHE SPENT ON HER TUMMY TUCK AND HAD THEM WORK ON HER FACE. SHE JUST ISN'T PLEASANT TO LOOK AT!! SO, NO, I COULD NEVER WATCH HER FOR A WHOLE HOUR OF HER.

ravenriverfox 01:28:56 PM Feb 02 2008

There is just something about this woman that is unappealing! She thinks it's all about her and that she is some kind of gift to all mankind. It's nice to see she is off the view, off her own show, and maybe if everybody says a prayer.....she'll not show up in ANY aspect....she's had her 15 minutes of Infame. :{
