    brett farve is more sad than interesting



  3. 3

    Kate Gosselin = NOT fascinating. And Sarah Palin may be a lot of things, but fascinating ain't at the top of the list.



  4. 4

    ALL fucking losers except Brett Favre



  5. 5

    Kate Gosselin and Fascinating DO NOT BELONG in the same sentence

  7. 7

    Here come the LadyGarGoyle posts..



  8. 8

    Barack Obama



  9. 9

    im so happy Adam Lambert made the list this year!



  10. 10

    Barbara is an out of touch bimbo that needs to retire.



  11. 11

    it should be lady gaga!! but who knows..itll probably be gosselin or sarah palin..that would suck.



  12. 12

    14

    Lady GaGa. hands downnn



  15. 15

    Nicole Ritchie, Ashley Simpson-Wentzs, Paris Hilton, …Oh, crap! I thought I could list them without laughing…!



  16. 16

    Define 'fascinating'…perhaps it means something else down here



  17. 17

    Adam lambert? Noone cared about him till a couple months ago. Anyway im glad Gaga made it but I hope she doesnt wear anything stupid.



  18. 18

    Given how ABC likes to recycle old news, my vote for their version of the most fascinating person of 2009 will either be Rhianna or Chris Brown.



  19. 19

    GAGA!!



  20. 20

    DEF lady gaga



  21. 21

    Brett Favre! I love him. I must watch this.



  22. 22

    Where is TAYLOR SWIFT!



  23. 23

    R-patz and k-stew



  24. 24

    Barbara is a HORRIBLE stuck-up excuse for a human being!!!



  25. 25

    What a boring and pathetic list of people.



  26. 26

    Uhhh…hello…Where the hell is TAYLOR SWIFT!…I guess they can't give away the number one spot yet :)



  27. 27

    "brett favre is more sad than interesting"
    how the fuck is a guy playing football better then guys half his age sad?
    he already had a hall of fame career and is arguably the best QB ever. Then he joins his former teams biggest rival and is having possibly the best season of his remarkable career. Sad? I don't think so… That vapid doormat of a woman (Gosselin) is very sad. Tyler Perry is awful and not funny. Lambert cant shriek his way out of how painfully annoying he is. Palin is an absolute imbecile. And Gaga has his dick up Perez' ass too much to count as interesting.



  28. 28

    Adam Lambert.

    Thank you for coming in to all of our lives this year Adam!



  29. 29

    Gobshite Mario Lavatoire is the most fascinating FAILURE of the year.



  30. 30

    I only agree with Lady Gaga and Bret Favre. WTF is up with all this Adam Lambert bullshit?



  31. 31

    OCTOMOM!!!!!!!!



  32. 32

    She never releases who the MOST interesting person is until the actual night, so you losers need to stop guessing people ON the list so far! Dorks!



  33. 33

    i'd say Nicole Kidman



  34. 34

    brett favre is the only deserving name on this joke of a list.



  35. 35

    And where is Levi Johnson, sexy slayer of the Dragon Lady Palin?



  36. 36

    how the fuck is kate interesting



  37. 37

    you're fucking retarded..Brett Favre is a GREAT choice..hes a fucking football hero, and has exceeded everyones expectations..playing the best football of his life as a 40 year old…Sarah Palin is OLD news and Kate Gosselin has gotten her share of anoyying media coverage..on to the next.



  38. 38

    dude if you guys hate Perez so much WHY the F do you read his blog?



  39. 39

    Lady gaga fits right in to those fascinating people. That girl really is rather fascinating. I really can't wait to see what they'll talk about :)



  40. 40

    Come on Perez….We know your IN LOVE with Adam Lambert! just say it!



  41. 41

    What about MICHAEL JACKSON???? The man won a shitload of awards, had a highest selling movie (concert movie category) and sold more albums this year alone than pretty much all the musicial people on that liast…but I guess that is not as fascinating or worthwhile as whoring your kids out on tv while you fight with your husband (Kate) or wearing freaky get ups every chance you get (Lady GaGa) or using shock value to get people to notice your music (Adam) or being a a total delluisional beyotch (Sarah) I don't even know who the hell that Brett guy is, so I dont know why the hell he is more fascinating then the greatest entertainer of all time…What a fucking joke.



  42. 42

    Re: Crazydude – I've seen a still picture of her and Barbara. She looks rather nice, actually (:



  43. 43

    ugh, terrible list. who cares about kate gosselin — i specifically won't watch the show just bc i don't want to see that woman again! and brett farve — old news — she should have chosen dree brees…he's the best quarterback in the game and on 11-0 winning season!



  44. 44

    That list is a joke.



  45. 45

    President Barak Ogaga



  46. 46

    Hey what about T-Swizzle? ^_^
    She rocks. :)
    I ♥ Taylor Swift!



  47. 47

    lady gaga

  48. jham says – reply to this


    48

    Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin?????!!!!!!!! give me a break - why are they giving them more cred then they deserve. Next year it will be Michael Lohan and Jordan Sparks. this USED to mean something!

  49. Us4 says – reply to this


    49

    GO VIKINGS!!!!!



  50. 50

    Jon Gosselin must be so jealous. He's too stupid to be interesting.
    Looking forward to seeing Kate, Gaga and Adam.
    Sick of Farve. and Palin is a joke.



  51. 51

    It seems to take very little for whomever does the list, to be fascinated by. Maybe Gaga, Perry and the f.ball player (no idea who he is as I am not American).

    Pretty lame to be fascinated by Grosselin + that nut Sara…



  52. 52

    that girl that was kidnapped then found. definitely.



  53. 53

    DREW BREES!!!



  54. 54

    LADY FUCKING GAGA FTW!!!



  55. 55

    Adam Lambert…by far! Everyone has been talking about him all year. Love him or hate him people can't stop talking about him. Plus, he's beautiful and so talented!



  56. 56

    YOU, Perez. YOU! YOU! YOU!
    YOU ARE THE MOST FASCINATING PERSON OF THE YEAR!!!
    TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF!!!

    Barbara Walters should do an entire special on YOU!!!!!!

    That's what you wanted us to say, right?
    As a former big fan of yours, I feel I have the right to say that.



  57. 57

    Re: Yellow Peeps – Agreed.



  58. 58

    FAVRE IS NOT INTERESTING.



  59. 59

    How long did she spend thinking up this list, anyway? Five minutes?



  60. 60

    There is nothing fascinating about Kate or Adam Gaybert! He's a tool and an attention whore who'll do anything to get ppl talking about him. Brett Favre is old and just drooling for "the ring." ….Boring

  61. SuzyP says – reply to this


    61

    Gaga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  62. 62

    Re: omgggg – What she said



  63. 63

    Who cares? BaBa-WaWa is irrelevant. Years before "The View", her interviews held some credibility. She's lost her cred by hosting (or is that Whoopie), a ridiculous morning show that is an insult to females. A bunch of squawking hens.

  64. ap076 says – reply to this


    64

    You forgot to mention Glen Beck (which just caused me to throw up in my mouth) and Ms. Sanford the wife of the SC governor. I think Taylor swift will be #1.



  65. 65

    Jenny Sanford!



  66. 66

    Sarah Palin? Seriously? Wasn't she on the list last year? She can't be fascinating in 2009 when she hasn't done anything new other than quit her job and sell a book based on her fascinating-ness of 2008. Phooey on that choice!

    Everyone else, yeah, fascinating enough, I suppose ;)



  67. 67

    you know it's a sad day when Bab's has sucked the dick of pop culture and these are teh folks she wants to intereveiw. (give and take a few).

    but for real. in 20 years, do you think folks will remember kate of the 8? or even more tarded' = adam lambert?

    babs has sold her sole to pop culutre. lost her street creds. she sould be talking to folks that really do something for america and humanity. do you think adam lambert is out there spending excess cash on charity? why isn't she interviewing real american;s and not the flash in the pan tardo's. eat it up adam. you won't be around in 2010.



  68. 68

    where's Taylor Swift? wholesome, talented, a role model for our youth. no lady tranny ho gaga.



  69. 69

    Re: Yellow Peeps – exactly. who else?



  70. 70

    Tyler Perry is tool. I cant stand that guy. He is worse than Sarah Palin and that's saying a lot.



  71. 71

    LADY GAGA
    MONS†ER



  72. 72

    Re: Angiekins
    Ok good!



  73. 73

    These are more the overdose new items that lack diversity on that basis alone. IMO, Barack Obama's could be a good one, Cesar Milan, the makers of Food Inc.



  74. 74

    The only thing fascinating about Sarah Palin is why people still care about her.

  75. @v@ says – reply to this


    75

    Re: Gabriella_ – You're NOT praying to Adam, are you?

  76. @v@ says – reply to this


    76

    Yellow Peeps - …and I third that; but Babs probably couldn't get him for the prerequisite interview, so he got replaced. That's Hollywood for ya.

  77. obama says – reply to this


    77

    Brett Favre and Tyler Perry aren't fascinating

  78. obama says – reply to this


    78

    Re: Lola24 – What about Michael Jackson? What about Michael Jackson! Get over it. He's freakin dead.



  79. 79

    more like biggest attention whore of the year. in that case it should deffinatly go 2 lambert.



  80. 80

    Lady GaGa and Adam Lambert are the most interesting.



  81. 81

    Sounds like Barbara Walters is becoming senile. Getting old isn't pretty.



  82. 82

    Uhm…Sarah Palin was last year, I believe. She's not so interesting anymore.



  83. 83

    None of these are "interesting."



  84. 84

    None of those people are fascinating. They must be running out of options.



  85. 85

    i think it will be Lady Gaga cuz she has changed music as we know it



  86. 86

    Kate Gosselin?! Sarah Palin???!!! WTF!! They are both a couple of famewhores! They are two people who really give women a bad rep. I mean, come on!! They are both UNINTERESTING ditz'.

    Adam Lambert I am on the fence about, we really don't know much about him thus far.

    Lady Gaga I agree with. She is like an explosion of talent and is very unconventional compared to other pop artists. The fact that she dons such bizarre and unusual outfits arouses our interests. And you can't call her a fame whore because she clearly has talent. I mean, you really want to know more about this 'talented weirdo.' What kind of background did she have? Is she from another planet? That sort of thing.

    Barbara Walters….kinda boring…yeah, she is a pioneer in the realm of the anchorwoman…she really deserves it, but still….(*snore*)

    Tyler Perry definitely deserves to be on the list. He has that show and those movies in which he creates comedy and characters.

    …And Brett Favre…..ugh….

    What about Stephen Colbert? He must be FASCINATING!! If you look him up in Wikipedia, you will find that he had a very dramatic childhood. His father and brothers died in a plane crash when he was ten, yet grew up to be very funny and sarcastic.



  87. 87

    wtf kate gosselin? she's not famous for anything!! adam lamber an AI runner up, like we've never had one of those before. i agree about sarah palin and tyler perry. nothing is fascinating about gaga either anyone can use technology for their voice and dress weird. and where is britney?



  88. 88

    fascinating crew…what a stoopid year



  89. 89

    where's britney?
    where's oprah?
    where's jaycee dugard?



  90. 90

    BABS IS A STUPID BOOORRRRING BITCH!!!!! NO ONE CARESSS ABOUT HER DOUCHE BAG LISTS ANYMORE. GET WITH THE PROGRAM.



  91. 91

    gaga dontcha know!



  92. 92

    Adam definetly :)



  93. 93

    The only fascinating thing about Kate Gosselin is her hair.

    Just when I thought we were rid of her, Barbara Walters puts her in this stupid show? Why?! Why?!?!



  94. 94

    I am so sick of Barbara Walters being held to such high standard!

    The woman had an affair with a MARRIED MAN, and really climbed her way
    UP THE LADDER on KNEE PADS. Do the research!

    She also sympathized, or should I say empathized. with Lewinsky. BIG surprise!

    She is a tasteless, and morally questionable woman. NOT someone whose opinion should matter.

    I find her show, THE VIEW, to be an embarrassment to real and intelligent women today.

  95. Imy says – reply to this


    95

    Gaga for sure. And what the hell is it with people saying Taylor Swift should be on the list? She's a nice girl, but she's nothing fascinating about her. Do you know what fascinating means?



  96. 96

    is this really even a question? Lady Gaga DUH



  97. 97

    i thought this already aired…what did i watch the other day?

    who are the others?



  98. 98

    Taylor Swift? Hello???



  99. 99

    Adam Lambert!



  100. 100

    Lady GaGa yes & Adam Lambert maybe—The rest…NO
