"Every single wedding fantasy I ever had was fulfilled, down to the most handsome groom in the history of the world!" Such was Star Jones over the top description of her over the top wedding to banker Al Renyolds. It had something else too, an iron clad prenuptial agreement. It's fortunate for Star that she wasn't completely blinded by romance, because now has the estranged couple square off for a divorce, that document may come in handy.

As their marriage publicly unravels, Star assures her fans (whomever they might be) that she's "going to be handling this with dignity and grace". She's also going to be handling it with a private investigator. Star fears that Al, who has gone from being the handsomest groom in the history of the world, to a shiftless and possibly gay ne'er do well in only 3 short years, is going to make a play for her 10 million dollar fortune. So she wants to make sure that she has all the shit on him at hand and ready to fly, should the occasion require that.

Star has good reason to be worried too. Although Al has publicly state that he too his going to comport himself as a class act during this trying period, and will be taking the high road, he has gone out and hired the meanest lawyer in the divorce racket - Stanford Lotwin. If the name sounds familiar, it because Stanford represented Donald Trump in his divorce from Ivana. That proceeding was considered more of a legal shit slinging match, than a 'moral high road' conducted with 'dignity and grace'. So if Al has a legal ace in the hole, why shouldn't Star deal herself a strong card, in the form of a PI?

As said, Star had an iron clad pre nup, in which Al would get a 50/50 split after 5 years of marriage. Star puled the plug on their arrangement with a year left on the contract, so Al has the paper work going against him. It's good that all her gushy school girl romance didn't stop her from working out the fine print. Still Star is worried about more that the legal technicalities of the case. She is terrified that Al is gong to try and do an end run around the pre nup and embarrass her, just like Trisha Walsh Smith did with her husband in their divorce proceedings. The thought that Al could blab about their bedroom shenanigans, or trot out some secret lover, horrifies her. Worse still is the possibility that Al might pen a tell all book about the details of their time together.

Star's main claim to fame was a brief period on The View with Barbara Walters. It was her marriage that cost her that spot. She began disgracefully pimping out the ceremony, so much so that a disgusted Walters gave Star her walking papers. Perhaps that should have been a clue that her marriage was a mistake. Star was too busy hustling to pay attention. She had set up a new deal with Court TV, in which the former prosecutor would provide commentary. That folded after a few months, and it looks like Star Jones has made all the money that she's ever going to make. Now that leaves her with a messy divorce as the only project on her agenda. Since Al is contesting, probably to get a big settlement, Star needn't worry too much about idle time. This could keep her busy and in the spotlight for months to come.
