« Today's News: Our Take
Al Reynolds "Not a Homosexual," Still Loves Star Jones
Al Reynolds by Tana Lee Alves/WireImage.com
Star Jones' soon-to-be-ex-husband, Al Reynolds, is speaking out on his feelings for Star, as well as hoping to set the record straight about his sexuality.
In a new interview, Reynolds asserts that he is "not a homosexual," as some rumors have said, later defending his snazzy style: "If I go to an event, I'm going to look my best. My mother used to tell me, I was cleaner than the Board of Health."
Reynolds also, however, has been opening up about his feelings for Jones, telling the AP, "I still very much love her. I do. I can't lie to you." He also offered insights into why their relationship ended. "I felt like we started to grow apart," he said, specifically when their professional lives got busy with his book efforts and her new truTV show.
Since their three-year marriage dissolved, the former banker has not been dating. "I feel like I've still got a little bit of healing to do," he said. There's only so much fodder one editor can digest without being rendered speechless. Any takers? — Anna Dimond

Mr. Furley, I have known you for quite some time now and I usually count on you for something witty and clever in some way, and I have to admit that in a sea of mediocrity on the board, you usually shine as one of the examples of someone with whom I share a common sense of humor.
I have to say, however, in this case, something quite different is happening here. Unlike the many, many times I have smiled, chuckled or grinned at comments that you have made, this time you have a crossed a line. This may--in my humble opinion--be the funniest line I have ever read from you. I have to say in all good conscience that I nearly fell off my chair! Indeed, this was a literal knee-slapper.
I bet when you read my preamble, you thought I was somehow offended by what you wrote. Quite the contrary. You made my day with that line, and I wanted to compose my reaction in such a way that I would get the maximum impact when you finally realized that I was tellling you how much you made me laugh. And now that I have achieved that, let me insert the final twist, ie. your post was funnier than mine, and therefore, I hate you now.

Yes, but did I "getcha"!!!?
I think we have to take a back seat to Mr. Reynolds himself in the funniest department. The fact that he thinks (in these econonically uncertain times) that anyone would shell out $20 or so for a book about his economic advice...well, that's just hysterical! Considering all of the public success we have witnessed from him in his lifetime, I think I'm slightly likelier to get my advice on surviving the high cost of gas from Paris Hilton.

Oh, you ALMOST got me-one fatal flaw-I have yet to discover ANYTHING that offends you!
You are on a roll, Mr. Furley! That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. However, you are being to kind and ignoring the one thing that has always driven me crazy around these parts: bad grammar! (Of course, you have not offended my delicate sensibilities in this area, so I can understand that you didn't think of it. Yes, you always apologize in advance as a defence mechanism whenever I bring it up, but I have not noticed any poor grammar from you.)
However, even though I am a stickler in that one sense, I am also very forgiving. What I am less likely to forgive is Star-phumphing as a means to stay in the spotlight.
I bet you thought I'd NEVER bring this comment back on-topic!

Gord, Furley: you were both funny. But enough with the mutual admiration club - why don't you two just get a room already?

As opposed to "just for the fun of it??!!"

profjrobin, you may not be getting the satire, here. This "news" item is a big strokefest for Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride on the mainstream media. We're just joining in on the fun! 
This is like the satire of Obama on the cover of The New Yorker. It's too subtle for the masses, but that's why we elitists love it!

You know, I am FED UP with all of the insinuations about Al Reynolds' sexuality.
Just because a guy goes to an all-male Halloween party in a Speedo or frequents the gay parts of Fire Island (wait -- are there any straight parts?), that DOES NOT make him gay.
For her part, Star isn't saying much about what broke up the marriage, making this the second time that she's opted not to explain how she lost her big ass.

But then we can't join in the pun, er, fun. 
(I do realize that was terrible, and that I am nowhere near the league of punning that Gord, Furley, and Chappy are - I apologize and offer the excuse that it's not even 8:30 yet)

TVGord - perhaps it's just a typo but in your complaint about bad grammar, you goofed: "However, you are being to kind and ignoring the one thing that has always driven me crazy around these parts: bad grammar!" You wanted to say, "you are being TOO kind..." I'm a proofreader and agree with you wholeheartedly on the poor grammar - hate to see it in the newspapers and on television...there's no excuse for it except laziness!
