This has been a long time coming. Long before Rosie O’Donnell. Long before “the procedure”. Star Jones was pushing her luck on The View long before Reynolds was added to her name.

Star Jones Reynolds has been told to hitch up her hefty wagonload of freebies and waddle off into the sunset, sources say.

ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at “The View,” a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won’t say is that she’s being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show’s grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O’Donnell.

I used to watch the view, but I got so sick of Meredith Viera and Star Jones, I stopped watching. Depending on who replaces Star, I just might start watching again.

“It was always Rosie’s condition of joining the show, and Barbara agreed to those conditions from the outset,” our source said. The network and Jones are now concocting a face-saving scenario in which Jones will be touted as moving on to pursue important new projects.

Jones’ camp yesterday denied the blustery babbler is going anywhere. “It’s 100 percent not true. Where are you hearing this?” a rep for Jones said. A “View” flack echoed that. But those denials come on the heels of reports that Oprah Winfrey’s best friend, Gayle King, may be in line to take over Jones’ chair on the kitschy coffee klatch.

Then again, probably not.
