STEVE JOBS IS BARBARA WALTER'S "MOST FASCINATING PERSON OF THE YEAR"

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".

MARK ZUCKERBERG IS TIME MAGAZINE'S "PERSON OF THE YEAR"

Mark Zuckerberg on TIME

My biggest Geek Crush.  TIME Magazine has named Facebook Co-founder Mark Zuckerberg its Person of the Year.  To clarify, the Title is not an Award nor an Honour - it is an acknowledgment of a person's influence as a Newsmaker, whether it be positive or negative.

Just after being named one of Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating People of 2010 last week, Zuckerberg is described by TIME's Lev Grossman as "warm....not cold" and after speaking to his Employees at Facebook he can say with certainty that "people like him".  

With all the Awards which The Social Network has been raking in of late, wouldn't it be fitting if he were given the opportunity to present an Award at the Oscars next February?  Academy Bitches, work your magic!

BARBARA WALTERS UNVEILS 2010'S 10 MOST FASCINATING PEOPLE

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.

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
