STAR JONES COMES CLEAN ABOUT DIVA IMAGE: Plus, plans trip with Oprah to South Africa for school opening.
*Star Jones Reynolds is finally owning up to the “diva” label that has followed her around since becoming a co-host on “The View,” and is perhaps taking steps to fight the negative impression with a planned trip to South Africa for the opening of Oprah Winfrey’s new school for girls.
The former prosecutor told TV’s “Extra” that she’s flying there this New Year’s with Winfrey and Gayle King to support the school’s launch. The nature of the ceremony will prompt celebrities to check their diva behavior at the door.
"I've earned that diva image. It's not something that I can hide from," she told Extra in an interview that aired Tuesday. "I admit sometimes I have enjoyed the celebrity more than I should have. It was well-earned, but it's softened now."
The author of self-help memoir “Shine: A Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Journey to Finding Love,” Star says she’s learning to put the diva attitude behind her and operate with more humility.
"I am rejoicing in learning from my mistakes and missteps and trips and falls," she tells Extra. "I've learned that sometimes modesty and humility shows the most strength and courage. That's the Star that you see right now."
