“The wigs and faces have come off on morning television — and the nails are out!

“It isn’t pretty,” shouts Drudge’s latest newsflash on Star Jones Reynolds’ sudden departure from The View.

You might find it amusing that Matt Drudge himself had a less than pleasant run-in with Star and the other View ladies three years ago this month when he accompanied Ann Coulter to her appearance on the show…and into the dressing room, which apparently didn’t go over too well.

“The gals were furious,” he is quoted as saying. “It was a communal makeup room, and this one didn’t have a face on, that one didn’t have her hair on, and the other one didn’t have any bra support…The security guard came and asked me to leave. As we were going out, I heard him say into his walkie-talkie, ‘Yes, I have him, and he’s leaving now.’ They put me in a small dressing room and made me stay there for an hour and a half.” (A View spokesperson explained that it was a private meeting for the co-hosts).

It’s not clear why exactly they had to call security on a man who was with the invited guest, nor what exactly happened in that exchange. (Did Ann insist on keeping him there? Were Ann and Matt both aware they were walking into a space where someone might be changing clothes? Couldn’t the View hosts have politely asked him to stay outside?) Anyhow, Drudge pumped the radio show last night at constant allusions to Star taking her hair out. I mean removing extensions, not tearing what really grows there. Yeah. We know what they mean.
