“Star is back!” That's what former co-host of "The View," Star Jones, says in the pages of the latest issue of Essence Magazine.

After having a rough few years, Jones says she has finally regained her self confidence.

Ready for love and work again, Star is also talking about her past relationships... beginning with the girls on "The View."

“Those girls were hateful,” Star said of her former co-hosts.

And her ex-husband, rumored homosexual, Al Reynolds...

“I want to fall in love again,” Jones told the magazine. “I’m ready to love 24/7. I want happiness. I want to be with somebody who wants to be with me, I can’t wait, I cannot wait.”

Star is also currently working to develop a non-scripted reality series. Does that mean Star Jones is getting a reality show? Who would watch that?!
