Star Jones is under fire for reneging  on a promise she made to speak to 1,500 overweight teenage girls and their mothers, members of the Detroit nonprofit full and fabulous, in February of last year. Why? Because they didn’t pay her enough and she had better things to do … like going to the superbowl. Not a good look Star, not a good look at all…

Instead, she went to the Super Bowl (which was being held in Detroit) and a fashion show, and arranged her own book-signing at a Borders.
