As previously established, Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating People of whatever particular year it happens to be is not actually full of fascinating people.

The endless goodbye parade for Barbara Walters picked up steam on The View Thursday when every single last View host – even Debbie Matenopoulos! – returned to talk about how great Walters is and make sure the day was documented. It was definitely documented. » 5/15/14 3:00pm 5/15/14 3:00pm

Barbara Walters is set to officially retire from television this week, so it looks like she's sort of making the rounds before she heads out. She dropped by Weekend Update on last night's episode of SNL (hosted by a sort of tiresome Charlize Theron) to give some advice about her, um, grain of journalism and to give… » 5/11/14 5:57pm 5/11/14 5:57pm

This entire conversation is so fucking gross. Barbara Walters announced on The View today that she's spent, like, a bunch of time around Woody Allen and his daughters and he is "as sensitive, and as loving and as caring" a father as she's ever seen.
