star jones rejoining court tv

i saw something about this on the radio. i found it weird that no one knew that she was a lawyer before her view days. i think she looks scary. ever since she lost all of that weight, her face looks entirely too big for her body. it's so long. it doesn't even look like it fits her body.

Sixteen years after providing commentary during the rape trial William Kennedy Smith, Star Jones is returning to New York-based Court TV.

Jones, a former Brooklyn prosecutor, will serve as executive editor and talk show host of an as-yet-unnamed daytime show is to run live daily, Variety said Thursday. The show will deal with crime and justice stories from the news pages and pop culture.


"The public is fascinated by the intersection of the legal world and the pop-culture world and we hope to tap into that fascination as part of our overall strategy to broaden the appeal of the network's daytime lineup," said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment.


Jones left ABC's "The View" last spring after her relationship with co-host Barbara Walters soured. Before her nine-year stint on "The View," Jones was a correspondent for "Inside Edition" and NBC's "Today" and "Nightly News."

Boston woman sues over botched abortion
A Boston woman who underwent an abortion in 2004 and then gave birth months later is suing the doctor who performed it for damages and child-rearing expenses.

Jennifer Raper, 45, had the abortion performed through Planned Parenthood associate Dr. Allison Bryant on April 9, 2004, and the lawsuit alleges it "was not done properly, causing the plaintiff to remain pregnant," the Boston Globe reported Wednesday.


Bryant then told Raper to see her family physician, and on July 16, Dr. Benjamin Eleonu told Raper her uterus appeared normal.


On Dec. 7, Raper gave birth to a daughter at the New England Medical Center.


Raper said in her malpractice suit she decided to have an abortion for financial reasons.


Both doctors and Planned Parenthood are named in the so-called wrongful birth suit, and none of them responded to questions from the Globe, the report said.
