The NY Post is reporting that “talking head Julia Allison lost her editor-at-large gig at Star Magazine, where she was making an estimated 125K per year.”

She has once said, “I’m Carrie Bradshaw 2.0,” referring to the Sex and the City character. (Julia, I’ve met watched Carrie Bradshaw, and you are no Carrie Bradshaw.)

Allison, who was hired by the recently departed Bonnie Fuller, never did any writing for the mag, reports the Post. She simply appeared on TV.
