Star Jones's post-View television effort, The Star Jones Show, is going off the air by "mutual agreement" between her and TruTV, the network announced Thursday. The live, 3 p.m. talk show, airing since September on the former Court TV, had been aimed at bridging the worlds of law and entertainment.

In 1994 former New York City prosecuting attorney Star Jones made the leap from public service to public persona when her syndicated television show, Jones & Jury, began airing on stations across the United States. Prior to this Jones had honed her skills as a legal correspondent for both NBC and Court TV. Before that, the lawyer had spent several years with one of the nation's busiest district attorney's offices. Jones's experience in broadcasting had involved the explanation of complicated courtroom issues during news coverage of high-profile cases, as well as offering her insider opinion. Media analysts often lauded her eloquence before the cameras. But Jones & Jury was only her first step into an ever-widening spotlight.

DECEMBER 14--Star Jones stiffed a New York City company that helped "beautify" her penthouse garden in advance of an Architectural Digest photo shoot last year, according to a lawsuit filed against the freebie-loving star of ABC's "The View." In the below Civil Court lawsuit, Dimitri Nurseries claims that Jones signed an agreement guaranteeing that the firm, in lieu of payment, would get a credit in AD for its work. When that citation didn't appear, the Manhattan firm demanded that Jones make good on a $7189.20 bill for geranium arrangements, potting soil, moss, mulch, dogwood, ficus plants, and other items. Jones, 42, didn't want to pay up, and instead offered earlier this year to give the firm a plaque with her picture that could be hung in its East Harlem headquarters. Dimitrios Gatanas, the gardening center's owner, told TSG he declined Jones's unique settlement offer. "What am I, a diner?"
