"Maybe, like me, you&amp;#x27;ve got a soft spot for The View, so you know exactly how major it was that Star Jones visited the show today. Maybe you&amp;#x27;re like... Huh? Star wha? Either way, I promise you&amp;#x27;ll love the supreme showbiz awkwardness that ensued when Jones sat down with her frenemies today.Now, we&amp;#x27;ve all got that friend you hate spotting across the room at a party. And we&amp;#x27;ve all got our means of coping. But when it comes to the art of frenemy management, this is the big leagues. In one corner, we&amp;#x27;ve got the deliciously mouthy doyennes of daytime: Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. In the other, we&amp;#x27;ve got the shrewd Star, who left the show six years ago, surprising her co-hosts on the air with the news, and who hasn&amp;#x27;t been back in the building since. Ding ding. Barbara kicked things off by intro&amp;#x27;ing Star, reminding the audience that she learned of her departure &amp;quot;at the same time our audience found out.&amp;quot; This is Barbara&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;eesh!&amp;quot; face. Star entered and went in for the hug with everybody but Joy--they stuck to the chic-chic niceties of protective hand holding and double air kisses. Barbara wasted no time bringing up Star&amp;#x27;s storied departure, and Star wasted no time cutting her off: &amp;quot;Do we really care [about this]?&amp;quot; And the unflappable Ms. Walters smoothly answered that yes, &amp;quot;we&amp;quot; do. Star&amp;#x27;s face says, &amp;quot;I got schooled.&amp;quot; Advantage View. Let&amp;#x27;s go to the sidelines. Here, Whoopi is thinking, If I stay completely still, I may not have to be involved in this segment at all. Be a tree, Whoopi. Be an oak. Sherri&amp;#x27;s tactic: stare at the same dot on the ground for ten minutes solid. Hey, at least she got to show off those fab lashes. As the hosts grilled her on having downplayed gastric bypass as her weight loss technique, Jones managed to work in that she&amp;#x27;s writing a second book. While smiling. PR upset! Advantage Star. Joy jumps in to note that Star&amp;#x27;s first book was about &amp;quot;a bunch of talk show hosts who sound like b-------. It must have been about &amp;#x27;The Talk&amp;#x27;!&amp;quot; Big laughs. More Star crazyface. Advantage View. Joy is so that girl you didn&amp;#x27;t want to cross in high school. All jokes aside, Star came on to raise awareness about heart disease, which is wonderful. And I think she looks fabulous, don&amp;#x27;t you? Much better than when she was post-surgery and unnaturally thin. But I think the View had the homefield advantage on this one! More silly stuff...
