: ATLANTA (AP) — Dwyane Wade has finally spoken up about his alleged romance with Star Jones: "Star is an unbelievable woman. We have a great, great relationship. As friends."

"We're friends, just like a lot of celebrities. We are friends," the Miami Heat star said Thursday during a guest appearance on "Inside the NBA," the jocular TNT show featuring Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson.

"Are y'all close friends?" Smith asked. "We're good friends," Wade responded.

"Are you the kind of friends that drink out of one cup with two straws?" Smith persisted, referring to a much-discussed photo of Wade, 26, and Jones, the 46-year-old TV personality who recently filed for divorce, at a tennis match. "Those kind of friends?"

"We are friends. That's all," said Wade, who is married to his high school sweetheart and has two sons.

"Good friends?" Barkley interjected.

"Naw, Chuck," Wade said with a smile.

Some hilarity ensued. Barkley broke through the commotion to say, "I like Star. She's a cougar."

"What's a cougar?" Smith asked, not so innocently, a perfect lob to Barkley.

Sir Charles promptly slammed the ball home: "Preying on a young Dwyane Wade."

Representatives for Jones did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday night.

Dwayne dating Star is like when my former co-worker HHH was dating Chyna. It didn't make any sense then & it doesn't make any sense now.

-------------- I Was 4 Real


mickey212

Funny enough, I believe him. Why would he date her, when he had gabby throwing it @ him. don't make sense. like he dating off personality, like anyone does that.


Divinebeauty

Come on yall she tea-bagging him, he tea-bagging all that skin on her arm....LMFAO! Charles really wanted to say Barracuda not Cougar...yall know he a little ignorant with words unless he's cussing. And stop calling this old azz lady Star..her name Olivia (OLD-Livia)


dallasdiva78

He'll be kissin' her knees too when they sexin' because that's where her tig-ole-bitties are LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL


JusEvil

Rarestgem

The same way that people cannot make sense out of Usher and Tameka, I do not see the 2 of them together.


Belle7

Not true!



sweetface07

I think Dwayne is sexy!!! He also has the sexiest lips. I would hope that he isn't dating/seeing Star Jones...who would?? Star knows what she is doing...she is trying to reel Dwayne right in.


krw

Alonzo Mourning was on Tom Joyner's show earlier this week, and said he and his wife were at the same tennis match Jones and Wade were. He said there was nothing going on with Jones and Wade. Also that banter on TNT last *** was more for comedic wit than revealing anything about a relationship.


CHRISSYSNOW

OMG say it ain't so.


cbloxie

Uh, no comment...wait I have one, PLEASE WADE, SAY IT AIN"T SO!!!! and I'm not saying this based on looks, Star may have a great personality, although I hated her on The View, but I say it b/c Wade is young and active, he needs a different type of woman. And he is fine as FCUK!!!!! LOL


Tagirl25

That man said that they were just friends. I hope he works it out with his wife. They were married since college. Before he made it to the league.


SEXY-CHRISSY40

they are just friends thats it!!!!!!!!!!!


lani3000

Kenny, Charles, and Ernie are like the funniest thing on!

Star must got that coochie that you throw up in the air and it "turns into SUNSHINE!"


LetsBeHonest

@ lani3000...lol! For real because Wayne is really cutting up with this one. Star Jones??? First *** Kucher and Demi Moore then Usher and Tameka, then Mariah and Nick Cannon please don't do Wade because if you do the world is coming to an end...LOL! I'm just joking ya'll do not take my comments serious...there is nothing like true love no matter what the age difference.


Sugar_T1tz

LMAO @ m1ndonmymoney!!

That's like going from an iPod to an 8-track ... definite downgrade. Not a good look.


seattlslim

this is false

mto every celeb put and about thats seen near or with a person of the opposite *** doesnt mean there dating


alluretheboss

lol... yea i saw that ***... i was dying.... but na i dont believe it...


BJazzy

I wouldn't put it past Wade have u seen that High School Sweetheart not cute at all But i love James


mandingo7777

Obviously Star Jones has something that Dwayne likes and finds comforting. Good conversation with a mature woman goes a long way for a man. I think that Star is a very intelligent and successful black woman that has something else to offer than just a fine azz and [EXPLETIVE]. It stands to reason than Dwayne wants a connection on a deeper level that a woman his age rarely can provide. In the end to each his own and if they are just friends or more than it's none of my business. Do yo thang D. Wade!!!!

Star is one hell of a litigator....don't forget she was a LAWYER long before THE VIEW. He could be getting "Counseled, along w/consoled."
