Star and Bucwild.. Well, Star Appears on The Opie and Anthony Show

The legal charges brought against Star resulted in 3 days community service and six month probation [a period where he can't make derogatory remarks about Envy or his wife]. Job wise, it should be noted that Star had a contract with Clear Channel, so his show being taken off the air doesn't mean he doesn't cash Clear Channel checks. As a matter of fact he said.. "I cashed one this morning."

Last month there was news that Star was filing a defamation lawsuit against NYC councilman John Liu. Liu was the guy that held the press conferences and pushed for charges to be made against him. Liu called Star a pedophile, racist, and anything else that can be scribbled on a protest sign. Star's mother is also filing charges against Hot 97 for remarks made by Miss Jones who called her a prostitute.

In yesterdays' Daily News Star spoke to anyone upset by the remarks he made.. "So what you're offended. Get over it. We're all offended by something. I'm offended every day by people who wave the flag of Jesus. (He's an atheist) I'm not going to grovel to soothe the current climate of pressure groups. I didn't just one day decide to go after someone's Asian kid. I've made jokes about Italians, blacks, Jews. That's what I do. I sit and tell racial jokes. If we're at a point where we can't make ethnic jokes, then game over. If we can't joke about ourselves and each other, then it's a new day and my day is gone."

That's where the Opie and Anthony show picked it up from. Star walks in the studio telling everyone they need to "kiss the ring." Opie and Anthony are the guys that got fired for broadcasting a couple having sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral. They were never arrested for the incident so Star feels like he's 'top shock jock', right now.

Other than a mention of a possible deal with Music Choice for a TV show, there were no jewels or big revelations revealed. It was Star being Star, in his words being confident and aggressive, talking to guys he really doesn't know.. and who don't know him.

Opie, the lead guy of The Opie and Anthony Show was trying to figure him out the whole time. At one point, in disgust, he told Star he was trying to act like he was tough and "it's really bothering me."

Star sideswiped him later, saying the name, The Opie and Anthony Show, sounded gay. Toward the end callers were put through who got on his case a little, but for the most part you hear Star tell you he 'ain't mad at no one' and big things are coming. It was a missed chance at putting some life into his situation.

A better interview, more conversational was something I expected and really the kind of interviews that O&A do. With the boost they could have given him with a soul shake, he could have had an in at XM or Free FM. What he got was a lot of criticism on this morning's show for him being phony.

A lot of misunderstanding on both sides. Regardless, my guess is the huge popularity he had in radio or a new radio/tv hybrid is over.
