Sloppy Seconds: Did Barbara Walters Out Whoopi Goldberg?

Emily Farris — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:02:00 GMT

Because Paris Hilton absolutely needs more puppies. [People]

We've heard that women reach their fertile peak at 27 but maybe that's actually the case for men, too. A new study has shown that children of older fathers have lower IQ scores than those with younger fathers. In contrast, children born to older mothers scored higher on the same tests. This really is the year of the cougar! [Reuters]

Two cheepskate brothers have been exchanging the same birthday card for 36 years. At this point, why even waste money on postage? Just send an ecard, dudes. [Colorado Springs Gazette]

Did Barbara Walters out Whoopi Goldberg on The View last week? Was she already out? Did anyone even notice? Does anyone really care at this point? [VIDEO: AfterEllen]

Hugh Jackman's Unsettling Lap Dance for Barbara Wawa

Colleen Kane — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:12:00 GMT

Before Sunday, Hugh Jackman was that actor who plays that comic book superhero with the lambchop sideburns who comic book nerds get their tighty whiteys in a twist over. On Sunday evening, Hugh Jackman became that guy hosting the Oscars who annoyed me every time I clicked over from LOLing at videos of people falling down and getting hit in the gonads on Outrageous Moments.

And now, Hugh Jackman is the guy making me uncomft as he does a lap dance for Barbara Walters, which culminates in an awkward hug.

When Tina Fey Was "Fat," Her Cups Runnethed Over

Colleen Kane — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:21:00 GMT

Everybody's favorite female Tina Fey was profiled by Barbara Walters last night as one of her Most Fascinating People of 2008.

Also fascinating was when they showed old footage of Tina's Second City days, including two big, bouncing bits of her chunkier self.

Thanks to the watchful eyes at Jossip, we now present you with this urgent bulletin. Check out the shimmy at 1:02.

"Pregnant Man" Thomas Beatie Breaks Some News to Barbara Walters

Nicole Pasulka — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:21:00 GMT

Babs went to visit Thomas Beatie and his family recently. Remember Beatie? He's a trans man who gave birth to a daughter last summer amid totally insane media attention that ended with Oprah rubbing his belly, or whatever. Yeah, turns out his 15 minutes aren't quite up, because Thomas has some news to share with all of us.

Yep, that's right, he's preggers again! Peep his home life and everyone's "shock" below.

Sloppy Seconds: The Naked Lesbian Bubble Bath

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:36:00 GMT

Barbara Walters hit on-- oh God, make it stop-- Michael Phelps.

McCain continues to close in on Obama in the popular vote... at least according to CNN and other journalists desperate for an angle. Meanwhile, Obama is way ahead in the Electoral College. (By the way, don't miss this newly-resurfaced story from the Chicago Tribune, published in 2006, about the chances of an Obama Presidential bid... and the glorious response, in its comments section.)

The Strollerderby shattered a myth about your boobs... letting us know that a new study

disproves the popular conception that nursing results in sagging breasts - a condition technically known as breast ptosis.
The real causes of sagging breasts, according to the researchers, are far less noble: increased age, higher BMI, number of pregnancies, bigger pre-pregnancy cup size, and smoking.

JuicyCampus.com, a controversial gossip site, may be getting banned at Georgetown.

There was a "naked lesbian bubble bath" on America's Next Top Model last night. Of course, ANTM does not air on HBO, so nothing to see here, move along.

After all that, Denise Richards isn't being put out to pasture.

And that nutjob who carved the "B" (backwards!) into her own face and said Obama did it is going to join R.P. McMurphy and The Chief.

And apparently Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson are planning to marry, too. [FadedYouth]

Not only is Robert Downey, Jr. the perfect choice to play Hugh Hefner, he's apparently also perfect to play Sherlock Holmes. [Yahoo!]

Watch Sarah Palin play the flute. Or not. [Radar]

Or, watch Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Barbara Walters argue over Palin. Honesty, it's more fun. [MollyGood]

We hate cigarettes as much as—or more than-the next guy (or gal), but we're a little miffed that the cigarette was removed from this iconic image of Bette Davis from "All About Eve" for her postage stamp. [NFDHD]

Is The View falling apart? Barbara Walters has called a staff meeting on account of... who else?

With the rumor mill buzzing that a discontent Elisabeth Hasselbeck may vacate her cushiony seat on The View for the cool, hard Eames chair of Fox News, it's up to den mother Barbara Walters to restore order on the set of her chat show. True to form, Walters has eschewed hugging it out in favor of a more clinical approach; according to the Chicago Sun-Times, she's had to schedule a staff meeting to deal with the increasingly hot-under-the-collar Hasselbeck. [Defamer]

If this e-mail rumor turns out to be true, it would mean Barack Obama will win the Presidency.

Jesse Ventura's new reality show? Yep, the man who was last seen speaking at Ron Paul's RNC counter-rally, is working on a show about conspiracy theories.

Even bears don't want to go anywhere near hospital waiting rooms these days.

Heath Ledger's insurance company is not letting this thing go quietly.

And Janet Jackson "fell ill" during a soundcheck in Montreal last night and has been in the hospital, with an undisclosed or undiagnosed ailment since then. No other details have been made available. Janet is 42 years old...

Next Up For Michael Phelps: Television Stardom

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:11:00 GMT

This post was written by guest blogger Sean Flanagan.

Michael Phelps, the soon-to-be super rich record-breaking Olympian, is trying to expand his global fame by becoming affiliated with MTV award ceremonies and Saturday Night Live...

Oh wait, he's an athlete and may not be able to act. When will Lorne Michaels, that silly Canadian, learn his lesson?

How many athletes – or politicians while we're at it - can you have on your show (let alone giving them the season priemere!) before you realize that they cannot carry a show?

Lorne's show is, let's face it, in the dumps. The 90s were glorious, the 00’s not so much. You went from a cast that every major featured player went on to be twenty-million-dollar-a-movie stars to a cast where the talented people have been brushed aside in favor of Andy Samberg and recurring characters that weren’t funny the first time around.

Michael Jordan
Nancy Kerrigan
Tom Brady
Peyton Manning
Jonny Moseley
Derek Jeter (though he was kinda good-- see above photo)

Let the Olympian be on a box of cereal, cut a few ribbons, do 20/20 soft focus lens takes with Babawawa and fade into the record books. Meanwhile, SNL needs to bounce back in a serious way this season and find a way to achieve relevance again after having long since lost Tina Fey to become TV's hottest geek on 30 Rock...

Sloppy Seconds: Kirsten Dunst Goes Off The Deep End

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 16 May 2008 21:17:00 GMT

Relax, everyone, Halle Berry is not engaged to her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry. (P.S. ...yet.) Thank God, since she's one of the last hotties still almost not-quite available; as for Beyonce, she may be pregnant... and we heard she might be married.

Perhaps inspired by the Barbara Walters book and her startling reveleations, other elderly people are getting in on the dated-a-future-famous-person memoir. And we might actually read it.

MTV wants you to "meet" the R. Kelly jury. What do we care? He's going to get off, one way or another...

Kathie Lee Gifford is back and pissed that The View is more tolerable than her own show.

And finally, have a great weekend, but try not to have the weekend Kirsten Dunst will have:

[She] was allegedly seen drinking and dancing with pals - including The Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti - at a local bar. A source tells U.S. magazine Star, "She got worse as the night went on. She started out pretty chilled, but hours later she was dancing and jumping like a crazed animal. She indulged in any guy who would have her attention. She also went up to several guys and started flirting with them hard-core. She was just completely out of it. It was obvious that whatever happened in rehab didn't stick." [IMDB]

Barbara Walters' Wet Hot American Interracial Affair

Emily Farris — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:34:00 GMT

Over the years, Barbara Walters has been pretty forgiving of most of her subjects and their misgivings, or at least she comes off as fairly non-judgmental. Maybe that's because she's no angel herself. Baba admitted during a recent taping of the Oprah show to an affair with a married senator in the 1970's.

More than thirty years after the fact, the interview queen opened up to the other interview queen (Oprah) about her affair with Senator Edward Brooke in the 1970's. Brooke, married at the time, was the first African American elected to the Senate by popular vote. Not only that, he was a Republican.

And, in case you were wondering, yeah, she's revealing this now to sell books:

Walters is the guest of Oprah Winfrey to discuss her new memoir, "Audition," which covers her long career in television, as well as her off-camera life. On "Oprah," Walters recounts a phone call from a friend who urged her to stop seeing Brooke.

"He said, 'This is going to come out. This is going to ruin your career,'" then reminded her that Brooke was up for re-election a year later. "'This is going to ruin him. You've got to break this off.'"

Winfrey asks Walters if she was in love.

"I was certainly — I don't know — I was certainly infatuated."

"Infatuated."

"I was certainly involved," Walters says. "He was exciting. He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington."
