Fascinating? Not So Much...

Earlier this week, Barbara Walters announced her list of, "10 Most Fascinating People of 2010" for her upcoming 18th season special on ABC.

Ha, well straight away the title becomes subjective. According to Ms. Walters her list of the "10 Most Fascinating People of 2010" includes:

Justin Bieber (Understandable), Betty White (Good), Jennifer Lopez (This is beginning to not look good), former Alaska Governor and losing Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin (Too bad Russia wasn't available), the ENTIRE cast of MTV's The Jersey Shore (The weird looking orange kids that live in New Jersey), and a few others.

From what we know of the up-coming show, Walters sits down with Betty White to cover the topic of her newly renewed fame, sex life, and her overall success during the year. The interview with Palin discusses her "Trig and Track" and most likely a host of other uncommonly named family members (Ah, there I go again saying too much).

Now then, I really admire Ms. Walters from the position of accomplished Journalist. However, I am not able to understand a word she speaks - for some unknown reason, the audio simply reverberates as 'Charlie Brown's Italicteacher' speak.

Upon watching Ms. Walters on television, I often smile as I gleefully flashback to thoughts of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special - help me should I ever meet Ms. Walters in person, as I am sure that I will rescind in profuse uncontrollable tittering.

Really, the people whom I might consider to be moderately fascinating "10 Most Fascinating People of 2010", would look something like the following list:

Gwyneth Paltrow (Obviously fascinating as a Country Singer), Ian Sommerhalder (Hot bad boy on Hot show), Betty White (Without saying), Cee-Lo, Katie Perry & Russell Brand, and Kris Jenner (Kim K's mother).

Alas, what would be more fun would be to have a show featuring the "10 Most Not Really All That Fascinating People of 2010" - or - "10 Most What Could Be Fascinating To Someone Somewhere People of 2010". Why of course, this list is practically writing itself as we speak, but moreover, a show of this comedic caliber would provide hours of hilarity and entertainment. Ms. Walters, should you decide to "Change up", I'm all too happy to help...
