Star Jones’ fairytale wedding to banker Al Reynolds took place only three years ago, but it seems there won’t be a happily ever after for the couple. The TV personality and former View co-host filed for divorce through the New York Supreme Court on March 26.

Usually, we would pass over Star Jones news with a big, fat yawn, but we couldn’t resist digging into this story a little, as it simply smacks of bad karma. (And who can resist a little gloat over that?)

Chances are you haven’t forgotten the media spectacle that surrounded Star’s engagement. The tacky talk show host took every opportunity to plug her forthcoming nuptials, even going so far as to have her wedding sponsored through on-air plugs. According to Barbara Walters, co-host on The View, such blatant self-promotion cost Star her job after ABC decided not to renew her contract in 2006.

Well it seems that the money-hungry, product-endorsing personality has learned her tongue-wagging lesson, and is going to practice a little discipline as her marriage comes to an end.

“Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate areas of my life,” the repentant, soon-to-be divorcee commented. “The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling the situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.”

Okay, we hate to say “I told you so,” but it seems Star's “error in judgment” has cost her an awful lot. First her job, possibly her marriage, and now her dignity as she’s forced to eat crow in the public eye - those things are worth far more than any free tuxedo or even the perfect wedding dress, in our opinion.

We feel bad for you Star, honestly. Yes we were peeved by your incessant wedding babble and the ridiculous lavishness of your 500-guest, corporate-sponsored wedding. But we also know that the dissolution of a marriage is no laughing matter, so we’re not taking any cheap shots. And after this we’ll respect your wishes and turn our interests back into Miley Cyrus’ underwear or whatever else is happening in Hollywood. But we do hope you have learned your lesson, and that you will in fact be wiser (and quieter) in the future.

It never pays to be selfish, because karma is a b***h!
