I've heard others also say they believe she mostly liked the idea of being a bride and somebody's wife, and that it didn't much matter who played the part of the groom/husband. <BR/><BR/>Reon, I agree. It's just hard to recall the good stuff; unfortunately, it's the bad that tends to stick.bettye griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457387770524295498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35476861.post-33919992341467443432008-04-25T14:50:00.000-05:002008-04-25T14:50:00.000-05:00Very true about the publicity machine.

Then the stuff with Al. A slew of bad judgment calls, people snickering and saying, "We told you so!" I just feel sorry for her.

I do think that while her figure looks good, her face has become a little haggard, like maybe she lost the weight too fast.

And I don't think I need to know all that.<BR/><BR/>I like Star in general--or at least I did when she was on The View, before the wedding debaucle--but she messed up this time. <BR/><BR/>Bettye, I don't think she lost the weight for him. I've seen interviews where she's talked about a few health scares she had.

I mean talk about anti-climatic. this is one of those dang what took them so long moments that every body and their momma saw coming probably as soon as he introduced himself to her at that Alica Keys concert. (And yes I still remember the story of how they met because Lord knows she told it enough times when she was on the view...)
