This divorce is brought to you by Snickers. Not going anywhere because your lawyers and her lawyers are fighting like wild animals over every last dollar? Grab a Snickers. ---

As Star was more than happy to point out, she honeymooned in the area where the 2004 happened just a few months later. One could take that as a sign from Gawd that the marriage was doomed, or you could figure that evacuating the area where Star Jones goes on vacation would be a _really_ good idea. ---

After looking up Jones on Wiki I feel very out of the loop. I thought she was the porn actress who ran for governor of California. ---

Oh, and yes, it’s soooo classy to have one’s wedding paid for by [corporate sponsors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_jones#Personal_life_and_public_image). :rolleyes: ---

How is she going to get someone else to marry her? How did she to begin with? Same planet, different worlds. ---

[QUOTE=Shirley Ujest] I think she should give back all the money she whored for them for their wedding day. all.of.it. [/QUOTE] Why? They paid for a massive amount of advertising and they got what they paid for. What the fuck difference does it matter what happened four years later? ---
