Following months of speculation, Star Jones filed for divorce from her husband of almost four years Al Reynolds. The filing occurred late last month in New York. The former View co-host told Entertainment Tonight:

Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.

Tough break for Ben & Jerry’s. Star doesn’t get her stomach surgically reduced to the size of a thimble and she double-handedly* pushes them to record-breaking sales this quarter. On the flip side, Manhattan owes Star’s doctor big time for preventing an island-wide cookie dough shortage this weekend. That’s kinda funny, “Island-Wide” was actually Star’s nickname in high school.
