TruTV (formerly Court TV) just announced internally that Friday, Feb. 1 will be the last episode of the "Star Jones show."

The network says the abrupt cancellation of the show, which debuted Aug. 20, 2006, was due to "the rebranding and programming focus of the network." The network says that a new show, "Arrest & Trial" will take its place at 3 p.m. EST, and Jones Reynolds will continue on as a contributing legal expert.
