Pray for Star

Star Jones has to be the only person in America whose goal was to out-do the gaudiness of Liza Minella's last wedding, and she may have succeeded, considering all of the gifts-for-plug activities that took place. The most notable thing about the ceremony, reporters say, was the presence of fur. Some celebrities had on real fur and some wore fake--I don't know who had which, so I am not in a position to take anyone but the bride to task (but Kim Cattrall, Natalie Cole, Angela Basset, and Lorraine Bracco--I am ashamed of you if you had on the real thing).

Jones wore a full-length white mink, which she removed in order to display her 27-foot veil, which required seven people to carry it.

After the wedding, Jones issued this statement: "God has blessed us with each other and we're so happy that our two lives have finally become one. Please keep us in your prayers."

Okay...my prayer is that Star wanders into the wrong part of the woods, gets her veil caught in a leghold trap and has to chew her considerably inflated head off. Barring that--may she get a honeymoon visit from Sophie Ellis Bextor.
