Now the question is — who'll endorse her divorce?
TV's Star Jones has been telling friends on the East End that her marriage is about to fade out, The Post's Braden Keil reports.
"Reality has finally caught up with them," said a friend who requested anonymity.
Her confession to her pals is something new. Jones, who was recently terminated from "The View," had previously been denying rumors that her 21-month marriage to Al Reynolds was on shaky ground.
"She's heartbroken over the turn of events," said another pal.
"She really wanted it to work, and she thought it just might work, but in the end, it just wasn't going to happen."
Star earned the nickname "Bridezilla" by shamelessly plugging the freebies that stores and companies provided for her wedding.
And right after the nuptials, on Nov. 13, 2004, Jones suddenly slimmed down in a suspiciously short period of time — apparently to please her husband.
"Here she lost all that weight — and put her job on the line — in order to keep him," said one Hamptonite, as she bemoaned the fact that her friend lost not only Reynolds, but also her coveted slot on the ABC show.
"Star has resigned herself to the fact that they're not going to spend the rest of their lives together."
Jones, who was told last April that her "View" contract would not be renewed, dropped a bombshell by telling the show's live audience on June 27 that she would be leaving.
That did not make ABC execs — or co-host Barbara Walters — very happy.
They had hoped to carefully orchestrate her termination, and it all ended with a war of words between Star and Barbara.
But the messy departure briefly turned the show into must-see viewing. Ratings shot up immediately afterward, but have since come back down to Earth.
