Hailey Glassman, the 22-year-old mess who became romantically linked to Jon Gosselin in May and dated him semi-exclusively for at least a few months, has a few words for her supporters - and her haters - in light of their recent breakup.

Of her polarizing appearance on The Insider last week, she wrote:

"I just want to thank everyone for their support. I was brutally honest and put everything out on the table in front of the entire world," she Twittered.

On The Insider, she detailed being "emotionally abused" by Jon Gosselin, who she described as really mean, and a guy who "has issues" with the truth.

Hailey Glassman says she's at peace with her reputation, whatever it is: "At least I know in my heart I spoke the truth so I'm OK with your judgment."

"Now if i'm disliked and hated on fine. At least I know in my heart I spoke the truth so now im fine with your judgements," she adds, with confidence.

REBOUND ROMANCE: Jon and Hailey simply weren't meant to last. This frequently happens when one party is a liar and fame whore who is married with eight kids.

As for what sparked the breakup, rumors suggest it was Jon's new mentor who put the reality star up to it, encouraging him to think about his children.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Gosselin's new spiritual advisor, said he plans to announce his breakup with Hailey at a Manhattan synagogue Sunday night.

"I advised him to end it with Hailey," Shmuley said. "The relationship is unacceptable when he is still married and has eight kids who are still hurting."

"It is not a healthy relationship."

She may not be a spiritual adviser, but Hailey has a mentor of her own: "2 be honest I got a lot of insight from the insider n Star Jones," she Twittered.

"She s a wonderful person who I admire 4 always being strong. much <3 at Star."

"Thanks so much for your insight and words of wisdom. I admire your strength. much <3 for you Jones :-). Your so funny and a great person!"

2009 is off to a vomit-inducing start.

Former talk show host and constantly grating human being Star Jones was spotted in St. Bart's earlier this week... and she was wearing - gulp! - a bikini.

The scars from Jones's 2003 gastric bypass surgery are in full view, as the attention-seeking celebrity is proving she'll go to any length in order to make headlines...

This just in: Star Jones is no Marisa Miller.

The insults levied at Elisabeth Hasselbeck by celebrity gossip readers are nothing compared to the venom spewed in her direction by former co-host and perennial loser, Star Jones.

“Those girls were hateful,” Jones says in the November issue of Essence magazine, in reference to the panel on The View.

The self-absorbed lawyer, who lost 160 pounds in 2003 as a result of gastric bypass surgery, also tells readers that she fell "into a depression” after the cancellation of self-titled Court TV show last year; while still expressing bitterness over her ongoing dispute with Barbara Walters (“Barbara set me up,” Jones insists).

As for Al Reyonds? “I’m not in love with him,” Jones says, unnecessarily bashing her well-meaning ex-husband.

Star wouldn't specifically comment on her rumored relationship with chef Herb Wilson, but she did say:

“I want to fall in love again. I’m ready to love 24/7. I want happiness.”

We really hate this woman.

Herb Wilson is the executive chef at Manhattan's Soho and Tribeca Grand hotels.

Now, reportedly, he's cooking up romance with Star Jones! We have no clue why.

"This was one of the first times they were out in public together," a friend of Star's told People, after the couple were spotted kissing in the stands at the U.S. Open a couple days ago. "It's a new relationship, and he makes her very happy."

Good luck dating Star Jones, Herb Wilson. You'll need it!

What do Star Jones, Paris Hilton and Carmen Electra have in common?

We know the obvious answer: an utter lack of talent and/or anything of substance to offer the public.

Based on the following picture, though, they also have the same taste in celebrity fashion. Take a look below. Let us know who looks best in this Diane von Furstenberg dress:

For news on a cute couple that seems right for each other, go read about Lauren Hastings and Shia LaBeouf.

For news on a disgusting couple that would be more wrong for one another than George W. Bush has been for our country, read below.

According to various reports, Star Jones - one day removed from announcing her divorce from Al Reynolds - is dating NBA superstar Dwyane Wade. This rumor leaves us speechless, likely because there's too much vomit creeping into our mouths, making it impossible to put words together.

We shudder at the thought: Star Jones and Dwyane Wade, seen here at a recent tennis match, are dating.

We know Wade's Miami Heat had an awful 2007-2008 season, but doesn't Dwyane realize that he's better than this? That his dating life needn't reflect his team's performance on the court? That Star Jones is an ugly media whore? That he lives in Miami, the nation's hub for bikini-clad women?

We haven't seen this mismatched of a couple since that apple dated that orange. Or Jason Wahler dated Lauren Conrad. Scumbag.

Star Jones has filed for divorce from Al Reynolds - and allow us to be the first to say: congratulations, Al!

The process actually got started late last month, as Jones shared with Entertainment Tonight:

"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life," said said... to the media.

"A month ago I filed for divorce. 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 this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."*

* One that sells the details to any celebrity gossip tabloid that will pay.

This is a fair fight:

Kate Walsh and her new series, Private Practice vs. Michelle Ryan and her new series, Bionic Woman. Each airs Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. and each pits strong leading ladies against one another in a battle for ratings.

This is an unfair fight:

A celebrity fashion face-off between Star Jones and Carmen Electra. Actually, any sort of face-off between Star Jones and Carmen Electra.

The former co-host of The View is unattractive and deluded; she thinks she's God's gift to television. Conversely, the former wife of Dennis Rodman is good looking and well aware of her role in the universe: to be good looking in pictures.

Still, the two women wore the same outfit recently, forcing our staff to match them up and ask readers who looks better.

While past fashion face-offs - such as Audrina Patridge vs. Nicole Scherzinger - were close calls, it's hard to imagine Jones receiving any votes in this contest.

But it's your decision, readers. Let us know your thoughts.

Star Jones sucks.

The former co-host of The View, who misled viewers about how she lost recent weight and essentially begged companies to provide her with free schwag for her wedding, has somehow landed a new show on Court TV.

We wish we could ignore the woman that makes us yearn for Rosie O'Donnell, but Jones covered two of our favorite actors/nut jobs during her inaugural show Monday.

First, she spoke with guest Isaiah Washington, who Star non-sensically dubbed "the whipping boy for bad behavior."

The former Grey's Anatomy actor and future Bionic Woman guest star said of his experiences: "I hope everything I've gone through in the last eight months has not been in vain [and] these words disappear from the vernacular."

What a martyr.

"I didn't sense bitterness [from Isaiah]," Reynolds told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday. "If anything, it was great disappointment, and I understand that. But the only thing that moves you forward, in my opinion, is to not look at who did you wrong but to look at what you may have done wrong so you can be correctly given an opportunity the next time."

So profound.

Moving on to Britney Spears, Jones doesn't understand the hoopla surrounding this pop star. Yet she does admit to being a fan of celebrity gossip. We're not sure how both of those views are possible.

"I am obsessed with pop culture and the entertainment industry, but for the life of me I cannot understand why we are so obsessed with this young girl and her man, her children and her divorce," Star said. "We are sitting here tripping out because a 26-year-old is making mistakes â€" well, wonder of wonders!"

It should be noted that this opinion was expressed during a segment called "The Wrap Sheet," in which Jones and a panel discussed the latest celebrity news.

Jones expressed consternation at people discussing Britney Spears so much... by discussing Britney Spears! Wonder of wonders, indeed.

Like Cash Warren and Jessica Alba splitting up, we never saw this one coming.

In a first-person essay in the September issue of Glamour, the former co-host of Elisabeth Hasselbeck et al. on The View confesses a not shocking secret.

Believe it or not, Star Jones Reynolds underwent gastric bypass surgery on August 19, 2003, after her weight reached an all-time high of 307 pounds.

This ends years of doubts and evaded questions over how she dropped 160 pounds in three years. Star Jones, 45, reveals that she decided to seek help for her weight woes after a close friend sat down and asked her, "So, what are we going to do about your weight?"

See excerpts below from Star Jones Reynolds' essay as she talks about her battle with obesity and how her life has changed since the surgery.

On keeping her surgery a secret:
"I admit that when asked about my obvious weight loss over the past four years, I was intentionally evasive. Lying wasn't an option, so I called it a ‘medical intervention,' which was true, but it was a pathetic attempt to tell only what I could handle."

"First, I didn't know if surgery would work. I had never stuck to a diet or committed to exercise for more than a month, and I had spent my entire life telling everyone that I was fine with the way I looked… I was also terrified someone would have a tragic result after emulating me without making an informed decision with their doctor."

THG NOTE: Some celebrities, like Heidi Montag, are open about having unnecessary surgery. Others, like Jessica Simpson, say they might want it down the road. Our point? We have none.

On her comfort food of choice:
"Whenever I felt lonely, a Double Whopper cheeseburger became my friend. If I felt sad, six strips of bacon made me feel better… but I convinced myself I was phat, not fat."

On facing the truth:
"I was so angry. How had I allowed myself to get to 307 pounds? I could clearly remember the days when I'd considered myself fly and curvaceous. Funny â€" or sad â€" how we ‘thick' girls can justify being excessively overweight."

On growing up heavy:
"While I thank my parents for the confidence they managed to instill in me, in hindsight I wish I had shouted: ‘Put that fork down and get active!'"

THG NOTE: You hear that, Nicole Richie? Put that fork down, you're gonna get fat! Man... you put on a few pounds since the last time we saw you?

On being overweight:
"I pretended not to see how big I was... but not only did I see it, I was disgusted by it. I also pretended not to see the side looks and smirks from friends and strangers, or her the backhanded compliments I received, such as ‘You have such a pretty face.'"

On what she's learned from the experience:
"I'm not saying that in order to be happy, women need to be a certain size, but I am saying that we should all strive to be healthy."
