Steve Jobs
Barbara Walters unveiled her Ten Most Fascinating People of the Year and there were a number of interesting choices including accused Killer Amanda Knox, Pippa Middleton, Katy Perry, Donald Trump, Derek Jeter, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson to The Kardashians. 

Ultimately though, Walters crowned a now-deceased Apple Mastermind Steve Jobs as the Most Fascinating Person of the Year.  "It's hard to imagine there'll be someone quite like him ever again... he always thought he was right", Walters says.  "He almost always was".

MARIAH CAREY & NICK CANNON REVEAL TWINS "ROC & ROE" ON "20/20"


Monroe & Morccan Cannon
For those of you who missed Friday night's airing of 20/20, Barbara Walters interviewed Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon on her much-troubled Pregnancy.  For the first time ever, the World also got to see their Twins - Moroccan & Monroe - known also Roc & Roe.

Carey revealed details about a Miscarriage she experienced prior revealing, "It was really tough.  The main thing I did was tough. I went on Progesterone and I had to stay with it for ten weeks. It minimized a chance of Miscarriage by 50%".

Problems didn't end after delivering her Twins though. "I couldn't even go to the loo by myself", Carey admits after delivering them at 35 weeks as it was no longer safe to carry them any longer.  Moroccan & Monroe were delivered on Carey & Cannon's third Wedding Anniversary, with the proud Father cuing Carey's number one hit Fantasy during the delivery.

Carey & Cannon have different ideas for their Twins in terms of career paths.  Cannon would like to see them achieve Ph.D.s.  Carey admits "They are incredible but they really respond to Music", hoping that Music will come first before anything.

Gen. David Petraeus
ABC aired Barbara Walters' annual 10 Most Fascinating People special last night. In what could be considered a surprise, General David Petraeus topped the last according to Walters. Deemed an "American Hero", Petraeus is celebrated for the humanity and strength he has shown as the Top U.S. Commander in Afghanistan.

In an otherwise non-eventful Special, Walters also presented the cast of Jersey Shore, Justin Bieber, Mark Zuckerberg, Sarah Palin and Jennifer Lopez among the year's most noteworthy.

JOAN RIVERS TALKS SPERM ON "THE VIEW"


Joan Rivers on The View
"In case you're watching your weight, a spoonful of Sperm, The New York Times reports, is equivalent to two Weight Watchers points.  Two points!", Joan Rivers tells a disgusted Barbara Walters on today's airing of The View.  And that's why I love her.

Rivers was on the show today promoting the DVD release of her outstanding Documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, due in stores December 14, 2010.  Apparently she was just in Toronto last week hawking her line of Jewelry at the Home Shopping Network.

BARBARA WALTERS' TEN MOST FASCINATING PERSONALITIES OF 2009

I don't watch much television, but on Wednesday nights I am sure to put aside the gym, light some candles, pop open a bottle of wine, cuddle on the couch with my dog Billy and enjoy a hot little hook-up named Glee. During a commercial break, I realized that Barbara Walters would be revealing her annual Ten Most Fascinating Personalities on ABC. I am always curious to see whom she picks and her eclectic 2009 list includes:

10. Lady Gaga - pop's new megastar; it turns out she's not a hermaphrodite (!) and that she enjoys sex with women. Out of respect, she took her sunglasses off for Walters.
9. Jenny Sanford - wife of adulterous South Carolina governor
8. Tyler Perry - director, actor, producer and cross-dresser who overcame an abusive childhood
7. Glenn Beck - Fox News' outspoken television personality
6. Brett Favre - recently retired and then not retired NFL star
5. Kate Gosselin - recently divorced mother of eight and reality television star
4. Adam Lambert - openly gay American Idol runner-up
3. Sarah Palin - former U.S. Vice Presidential candidate and now sexy author; her second time appearing on the list.
2. Michael Jackson’s Children - Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II ...the world is watching more closely than ever
1. Michelle Obama - American First Lady and trash television lover
