BURBANK, Calif. (June 26, 2006) -- Star Jones Reynolds will announce her departure from "The View" this week, Access Hollywood learned.

A source close to "The View" told Access Monday that Star Jones Reynolds will leave "The View" in July and will announce the departure on the show this week.

As a result, the much discussed face-off between Star and incoming co-host, Rosie O'Donnell, will never occur.

O'Donnell is not joining the gals until September.

By July, Star will have been at "The View" for close to nine years, having been a part of the show since its inception in August 1997.

Barbara Walters, creator of "The View" and Star'sfellow co-host, did not return Access' calls for comment.

I was planning on having THAT watch party everyday. Oh well...

Bye Stah! No one cares that you are leaving. NO. ONE. I bet Joy and Rosie are having drinks somewhere right now.

Be really funny if she fades like Debbie Matenopolous did, and they don't celebrate her exit on the air.

I'm starting to think the originally speculated plan may have worked better: Patricia Heaton replacing Meredith and the Fuse TV chick replacing Bitsy. If Babs had followed this formula, the show would have probably had much more heated debates(at least regarding politics).

I bet Gayle King's agent is calling Babs and Bill Geddie, wanting to know when can they make it official.

Not only that, but Rosie O's Blog(saying that she wants to make THE VIEW "more fun") worries me. Part of THE VIEW's charm is that they are unashamed of the fact that they are not like other shows on the air, that give away cars and throw koosh-balls in the audience.

I just hope there is someone on the panel that replaces Star that can create just as much anger and heat as she did. I don't want to be bored watching THE VIEW, and for nine seasons, when I tuned in, I rarely was.

I just watched Star annouce her departure on the View. It seemed very uncomfortable to me. She seems to be pretty upset at leaving and the "new direction" that the View is moving into. It was strained to say the least. I'm not really going to miss her, but I used to like the show so its current state is kind of shocking.

I have not been a regular viewer since Elizabeth took over for Lisa Ling. They used to argue, but they still seemed like friends for the most part, going to weddings/plays/vacations together. It does not appear that the cohosts are close now at all.

I had a friend who became the worst kind of bridezilla when she was married a couple of years ago. She alienated pretty much all of the closest friends, most of us still can't be around her. I wolder if the hoopla around Star's wedding began this rift?

Well, according to Star, she was fired: http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1208160,00.html

I think the show went downhill when Elisabeth joined. But it hit its absolute worst when Star got married. I remember she yelled at Joy and the rest of them b/c they took photos of themselves at Star's wedding and showed it on-air, and Star was pissed that they showed pictures of her wedding w/o her knowing about it...but you couldn't even tell what was going on, it was just to show what Meredith, Barbara, and Joy were wearing.

In People magazine, there's an interview w/ Patricia Heaton on the back, and they asked her about Rosie joining The View. She said that she was surprised that the show would take such a bold move, but she also insinuated that she already knew that Star was leaving...so maybe she's Star's replacement?? I know that she's conservative, but I don't find her as annoying as Elisabeth. She's able to stand by her beliefs and defend them, unlike Elisabeth.

But the show has gotten horrible since Meredith left. Even though Barbara has been on since then, there's nobody to control them. I think Rosie might make things worse.

      I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.

      Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna

      Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.

      Angry Dante was hot; sorry, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't awesome seeing Dominic Zamprogna act his ass off in a way that was not crying.

      Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.

      When you bring up what I like to call "Shapiro's Folly" you think Dano's acting choices mattered? I ask because I don't think so. As far as I could tell almost universally the ABC fans hated the very idea of her being on all 4 shows! And, BTW, the headwriters also hated it, at least according to comments made by Passanante. But, it is not hard to imagine that they'd feel that way. And, I agreed. If she wanted success she should have planted "Rae" on one & given up her idea of branding, or whatever it was that she was after.
