And The Most Fascinating People Of 2009 Are…
Each December, Barbara Walters hosts a special on ABC featuring her pick of the year's 10 Most Fascinating People.
So who are some notables to make the list this year?
In no particular order, they include Kate Gosselin, Sarah Palin, Adam Lambert, Brett Favre, Tyler Perry, and Lady Gaga.
Inneresting choices. We agree, for the most part. Do U?
Barbara's special airs on December 9th.
Who do U think is this year's most fascinating person???

Re: SWEETPIECE! – #57 You are right but I did not see his name is this the whole list? MUAH xoxo!
Sheba
Robert Pattinson? Is there anybody else more interesting in this world? Second is Robsten!!!
After her come back this year, tour and all, I definitely believe that Britney Spears should be on the list. Yes, there is the conservatorship but she has really turned her life around….body included.
Adam Lambert is by far the most interesting!
What is this world coming to? I don't think Kate Gosselin, Adam Lambert, and Sarah Palin. None of them should be on the list; especially Kate. Yea, so Kate kicked out a brood, she is not fascinating. Stupid maybe but not fascinating. Adam, like the guy, but fascinating..plzzzz….Sarah Palin - well need I say more!! Where is Russia anyway?
Re: EROCK225 – No offense but Britney Spears may be a hot mess but she is medicated not fascinating!
Glad to see Adam Lambert made the list. Most fascinating would have
to be Lady Gaga.
Fascinating?? What a joke. None of these people are "fascinating". Why not feature people that help other humans and humanity?
Uh helllllo? ROBERT PATTINSON…TAYLOR LAUTNER….KRISTEN STEWART…..STEPHANIE MEYER…ANYONE FROM THE TWILIGHT SAGA…is Babs living under a rock or something?
That list is PATHETIC…other ppl who SHOULD be on there:
- Britney…this was her comeback year & she's back on track!
- Taylor Swift….a huge success in country music, numerous awards, and handling the "kanye" drama with such class.
- Gabourey Sidibe and/or Mo'Nique from the film Precious
Susan Boyle, the guy who landed the plan in the water in NYC, Michael Jackson's children, Jaycee Dugard, . . . I'm sure there are many more. No to the overdone Adam Lambert, Gossett,
Why is Adam on this list? What has he done? Not making the winner of Idol - loser! I think he is a freak and can't wait for his 15 minutes to be up!
fascinating and laddy caca? doesn`t sound very sane.
I think its pretty obvious who the number one will be since she isint one of the too 9….
Taylor Swift, anybody?!
I'd be beyond shocked if it wasnt her.
2009 will be forever known as the year a teenager took over the world.
Most of those choices are not at all interesting.
Re: lululemon – Come on Perez….We know your IN LOVE with Adam Lambert! just say it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pretzel couldn't handle Adam “““` Are you kidding me?!! LOL I could handle Adam though““ and I'm a straight female.. LOL's again..
Had Perez eva made Babs list??
lady gaga, taylor swift, and taylor lautner.
i definitely do not agree with sarah palin, adam lambert or kate gosselin being on the list. scandalicious and tabloid staples, yes but fascinating??? i beg to differ :/
Babs has lost her mind. I don't find any of the six mentioned above fascinating in the least. Dog turds are more interesting.
Obviously FASCINATING = PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE MEDIA THE MOST. Like them or hate them, Kate Gosselin, Sarah Palin, Adam Lambert, Brett Favre, Tyler Perry, and Lady GAGA fit that criteria!
This is Robert Pattinson's year, she is crazy for not having him on her list!!!
WTF IS SO FASCINATING ABOUT SARAH PALIN? THE BITCH IS AS DUMB AS A BAG OF ROCKS!
Fucking Kate Gosselin is NOT fascinating at all.
Yeah, in mo particialr order, but you put your two favorites first and last. Additionally, Kate's show was just cancelled because of low ratings and none of her attempts at anything else have been picked up. If American isn't even interested enough to watch her show, she obviously hasn't facinated them. This special should be called "People the tabloids were most interested in."
I agree on Tyler Perry, Sarah Palin, and Lady Gaga, but the rest no
Oh, and Tyler Perry? Will she chicken out like every other magazine and NOT ask him about being a hugely sucessful GAY African American filmaker?
Re: Lola24 – How are they going to interview a dead person. This show is about interviewing these "fascinating people", who wants to hear Jermaine talk about his brother again? Thats not fascinating
Im so happy she choose Adam to be on this list! He is exceptionally fascinating
Re: Adele46055 – Great point! Thank you
I cant believe that Adam Lambert is even in the running! The only reason he is even known is because of the small amount of oral sex he had on stage, other than that he is old American Idol news. The person most facsinating should be someone who did something good for the world.
My top 3 fascinating people of 2009 would be
1. Adam Lambert
2. Robert Pattinson
3. Britney Spears
HOPEFULLY LADY BLAH BLAH GAG ME WILL COVER HER TRACK MARKS FOR THIS ONE! THOSE NEEDLE MARKS SURE SCREAM CLASSY!
Seriously over kate gosselin. Favre has had an amazing year.
I don't understand how Sarah Palin is "fascinating." She bores the sh*t outta me. She needs to be forgotten FAST.
they oughta keep that list, ditch palin & gosselin, add the twi-crew (since they're on the cover of everything) and add taylor swift, maybe katy perry & kid cudi too. everyone was all over them.
PEREZ HILTON IS THE MOST FASCINATING DAMNIT. WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING? HA HA
LMAO. The REAL STORY here is that Lady GarGoyle's new ALBUM FLOPPED. It's TRUE. She DEBUTED AT #5 on the Billboard charts. MUCH LOWER than expected. Not only losing out to Susan Boyle and Adam Gaybert, but also to Andrea Bocelli and RIHANNA. HAHAHA. Rihanna's new album OUTSOLD Lady GarGoyle's. HILARIOUS DISASTER.
Lady GarGoyle must be DEVASTATED that her new album TANKED. It got HORRIBLE REVIEWS and the public just ISN'T buying her STALE act anymore.
Re: obama –
Gee, thanks for the update on Michael's vitals, asshole! Just because he is dead doesnt mean he isnt fascinating! He's done way more with his short life than any of those idiots on Barbara's list…Should be called "Biggest Rejects of 2009!"
Brett Favre seriously? I'm from mn and don't think he's interesting…hes another sports player who cant decide if he wants to retire…old news…what about Taylor Swift? She's had a huge year! and seriously the Gosselins…aren't the overexposed enough already..this list sux…
Re: Adele46055 –
No shit, Michael's dead????!!! Hadn't heard! *LOL* Just because Michael isn't around to be interviewed, they still could have done a piece on him rather than waste the time on losers like that bitch who whores out her kids and fakes cries about her moronic husband (KATE) or that idiot from Alaska who fucked up McCain's run for presidency…It's just a list of people who were in the media the most this year, altho if that is the criteria for this pointless list, then Michael should have definitely been tops because the man was EVERYWHERE, even tho, as many of you brilliant people have pointed out, he is dead!!!
You didn't mention the 3 children of michael jackson! they're on the list perez!
a couple of reality tv stars
an actor
a singer
a football star
all american
a moronic ex politician….
how typical from a woman of such average intelligence and imagination
kate gozzelin, no. zarah palin, no. adam lambert, YEZ! lady gaa NO DUH! GAGA IZ DEFINATELY MOZT INTEREZTING!
Barack or Michelle Obama…although I'm so glad Adam Lambert made the top 10!
bitch, i didn't say brett farve isn't a good qb… he clearly is. i just think he's a sad old man who needs to retire for real.
Maybe Baba is so washed up, anyone who might really qualify as fascinating wouldn't be on the show? I'm just sayin'…..
