It's the law of television: when one talk show comes to life, one must die.

Star Jones has lost her Court TV (sorry, TruTv) show, The Star Jones Show. The program only lasted about six months, but the powers that be have decided that because the network has changed its brand and focus (from legal/court shows to shows about car chases and lifeguards), the show no longer fits in. A note from TruTV VP Marc Juris says that Jones will stay with the network as a contributor, which sounds similar to Mario Batali's role at Food Network: his show ended but you'll see him on Iron Chef America once in a great while.

Now comes the inevitable talk and speculation about what Jones is going to do next. Will she come back to The View? Will she host a show on CNN Headline News? Will she get her own syndicated show in the daytime to go up against The View? Will she host a game show on NBC? Only time will tell.
