An Open Letter to Barbara Walters

Dear Barbara,

Miley Cyrus? Really? If Miley, why not Zack Efron? Why not Audrina?

Sincerely,
Stephanie

Look below the fold to read Barabara's whole list of fascinating (er, crazy - Tom Cruise) people. Then, and the real reason I made this post, please comment with your own list of the ten most fascinating people. I'm not sure who would be in my list, but surely DC fave and TIME coverlady Michelle Rhee would make my top-three cut.

Barbara's list: Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Tom Cruise, Tina Fey, Will Smith, Frank Langella, Miley Cyrus, Thomas Beatie, Michael Phelps and Barack Obama.

Yeah, Cyrus also just made the list of 100 Most Powerful Women in Entertainment... which is remarkable when you consider the only other non-CEO/president/bajillionaire type was Tina Fey.

Zac Efron only needs to be on one list - the Currently Closeted Dudes That Corey Will Marry Someday After Radical Plastic Surgery Puts Corey In His League. For the record, he sits at #1 on that particular list.

As they said on TV (was it SNL?) Barbara Walters is easily fascinated.

I'd make my own list, but the people I find interesting are almost all dead, so....

Apparently, Barbara is stirring up controversy all over TNG. Earlier this week, an advice-needy reader submitted a letter inquiring about Ms. Walters' questionable taste. S/he also wanted to learn how to be more fascinating. I offered five yummy tips. Read for yourself.

Like it or not, Miley Cyrus is fascinating. While Barbara Walters if far from the barometer of all things normal, she was spot on when she asked Miley if she thinks that her fame would be gone by the time she's 20.

Childhood stardom is interesting. Before she could make many of her own choices, drive, even text, her dad created a super-star out of her.

As I'm not a tween (or her hot 20 year old underwear model bf), her particular brand is of no interest to me, but that doesn't make her or her life any less fascinating.

Hannah/Miley's father Billy Ray Cyrus is a conservatard freak performing in Sean Hannity's "Freedom Concerts".

I hope they both crash and burn fast.
