Puh-leeze!

STAR Jones pulled a one-day "sickout" from "The View" when ABC execs insisted on deleting all the plugs "Bridezilla" gave to her wedding suppliers in a special airing tomorrow night. (can't she pull a full-time sickout?) In the interview Jones and hubby Al Reynolds did the day after their Nov. 13 nuptials for "InStyle Celebrity Weddings," Jones mentioned the designers, florists, and hair and makeup people who provided their services for free in exchange for publicity.

"All was fine until the special was shown to Andrea Wong, [executive] v.p. of alternative programming, and the ABC Broadcast Standards Department. That's when the [bleep] hit the fan," shared the insider. "ABC went ballistic and ordered a ton of edits." The missing mentions from the InStyle special are quite obvious. For instance, when discussing the bride's cathedral-length veil, it shows the gown's creator, but a voice-over refers to her simply as "her designer."

Jones did not appear on "The View" on Jan. 7. "When Star was told [about the InStyle editing], she staged a sickout protest," our source relates. "She said, 'No one, including ABC, tells me what to say or what to do with my life.' (guess she shouldn't have presumed it was okay to make deals with her suppliers, huh?)

"Star boycotted the show, and that is when she was immediately notified that [if] she did not heed ABC's warnings, she was going to be fired from 'The View.' "Star has since not mentioned a word about her wedding on the advice of her own attorney and p.r. reps." (oh geesh.... I was really looking forward to hearing more about her wedding, too!)

Jones' spokeswoman said: "She's seen the special and adores it. Anyone who said she staged a sickout is lying. Star's a consummate professional." ABC had no comment. (if she's such a consummate professional then why didn't she pay for her own damn wedding, keep it private and not yammer incessantly about it?)

"ABC has had enough," said an inside source. "All of the 'Bridezilla' press leading up to Star's wedding enraged an embarrassed ABC programming brass. "They thought they would be done with matters when 'The View' gave Star an entire show prior to her wedding. All along, ABC was p- - - -d at Star for shamelessly mentioning those free-yet-costly products and services for her nuptials in exchange for her promised on-air mentions.

"ABC brass told executive producer Bill Geddie of 'The View' to 'get her under control and stop her, or else.' Star was told to knock it off and became nervous she and Al were going to have to pay, since she was being disciplined." (oh waaaahhhh..... star might have to fork over some cash..... boo hoo.......)


What a selfish bitch. I hate her even more now that I read this.
