Finally! Star Jones Reynolds Admits Gastric Bypass Surgery

Although she has danced around the topic for quite awhile now, former View co-host Star Jones Reynolds has FINALLY admitted that she had gastric bypass surgery ... as if any of us had any doubt. She wrote an essay in the September issue of Glamour magazine. Some excerpts are below, but you can read the whole she-bang right here.

"The toughest part of the journey has been forgiving myself for not having the self-control I know I should have had, or admitting I needed help," she writes. "Every day I am learning to let go of my insecurities and acknowledge that I don't have all the answers, which is okay," she says. Though she still struggles with self-image, she writes that being healthy is what counts. "I'm not saying that in order to be happy, women need to be a certain size, but I am saying that we should all strive to be healthy."

PAULA ABDUL

Paula Abdul has enjoyed a long career as a dancer, musician and Idol personality.

JORDIN SPARKS

America’s newest Idol talks to OK!

Jordin Sparks may be American Idol’s youngest winner at 17, but she has some very grown-up views on the pressure in Hollywood to be super-skinny. “I really think Hollywood needs to get over it,” she tells OK! “I’m gonna stay the same. It would look really weird if I lost a ton of weight anyway. I like the way I look.” The bubbly teen also tells OK! about the designer style she rocked for the finale, and her secret Idol crush!

STAR JONES

She’s helping women achieve their goals

Star Jones recently hosted a charity brunch for Dress for Success, an organization that helps disadvantaged women by providing business attire and a support network to boost their career chances. Star herself has donated more than 100 boxes of clothes to the cause. “Dress for Success has gotten all of my clothes from when I was size 24 through size 10,” she told OK!. The new Court TV correspondent also talks about how comfortable she is now with her body. “The big goal was to never have to carry an inhaler in my hand again — I haven’t in four years this August,” she revealed to OK!. Star also filled us in on her diet and fitness secrets.
