WaWa’s Tired of Hearing the Celebrities

Barbara Walters is a pioneer for women in journalism. She paved the way for many who have followed in her footsteps. Perhaps she is most famous for being able to convince celebrities to bear their very souls in an interview.

Now she says she just won’t do it anymore. This news came just before her annual showing of “The 10 Most Fascinating People”. It aired Thursday on ABC. She says, “I am not going after the tabloid stuff, I don’t do it.”

She would not include Britney or Paris in this special, she says, “abandoning the week in, week out, competition for getting the next name, the next person out of rehab.” Instead she chose real newsmakers like former President Clinton, the creators of “MySpace”, and Don Imus.

Doesn’t she realize that we don’t care what these people might say about foreign policy or the war? We wanna know the dirt. We wanna see the rehab patients. They make us feel good about ourselves!! C’mon Babs, honey, retire already.
