Star Jones Reynolds Lands Her Own Show

Star Jones Reynolds has landed her own daily talk show — and this time, she won't have to worry about Barbara Walters.

Court TV said Wednesday it hired Reynolds to host a show about criminal justice issues that intersect with the pop culture world. The show, which has no title yet, will likely start this summer or fall.

This show is a return to her roots for Reynolds, a lawyer who began her TV career as a legal commentator on Court TV in 1991. She was an original co-host on ABC's "The View," starting in 1997, where she became acquainted with the glitz and glamour of show biz.

Reynolds, 44, left the show on bad terms last summer. After being told that her contract wasn't going to be renewed, she beat Walters, the show's founder, to the punch in announcing her departure. That angered Walters, and Reynolds wasn't allowed on the air again.

"The public is fascinated by the intersection of the legal world and the pop-culture world, and we hope to tap into that fascination as part of our overall strategy to broaden the appeal of the network's daytime lineup," Steve Koonin, Turner Entertainment Networks president, said in a statement about the show.
