Star Jones is mad as hell.  She’s been railing against Barbara Walters, saying Barbara only revealed her affair with an African-American senator in the 1970’s as a tawdry way to sell copies of her new book.   “It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character,” Jones told Us Weekly magazine.   According to a source close to The View, though, “Star is just letting off some steam.  The truth is, she’s just jealous because Barbara Walters got to have sex with a black man.”
