Star Jones Gets Job

She hasn't worked since she was forced off of The View, but Star Jones has finally landed a new job. "This is a new chapter, a new beginning. ... Absolute new Star," she said yesterday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "(A) very happy, healthy Star whose connection is through her family, through her community and completely in touch with what matters in life."

She will be appearing as a guest host on "The Michael Eric Dyson Show," a syndicated talk show owned by Radio One that targets black and urban listeners. She'll be heard on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

"I'll try not to be nervous," she said. "I'll try not to let my voice squeak. I'm just like the rest of you and everybody else. That is the dirty little secret. ... I want people to know that I'm connected at the hip, right with them. I miss the opportunity to connect.
