Barbara Walters Tells The Kardashians They Have No Talent!

| Filed under: TV NewsBarbara WaltersKim KardashianKhloe KardashianKourtney Kardashian

In a bid to figure out why the Kardashians are famous during her 18th annual '10 Most Fascinating People' special, Barbara Walters straight up told the Kardashians that they have no talent (and therefore she was confused as to why they're actually famous).

Barbara Walters has ballz, guys:

"You don't really act; you don't sing; you don't dance. You don't have any — forgive me — any talent."

Then, Kim proceeded to say this:

"I think it's more of a challenge for you to go on a reality show and get people to fall in love with you for being you, so there is definitely a lot more pressure, I think for being famous for being ourselves."

Is it really challenging being yourself? We'd think it'd be the other way around — it's be more difficult to have to be something you're not all the time. So we don't really buy this. Also, what pressure is there if you AREN'T performing?

But, say what you will about the Kardashians and their lack of overall talent… the truth is that they're pretty great at business, and apparently that's what matters.

They're taking their "no talent" all the way to the bank!

Do U agree with Barbara??

    The KarTRASHians need to go away. Why was mama pimp on the show?



  2. 2

    hands clasped legs crossed same as in the haiti photo.. again on show” performing the 'challenge of being themselves”..talented at being talentless..i cant decide if perez has seen the light or just trying to gleen sympathy now for them . 'u cry urself to sleep .. awwwwwwwwwwwww that brought tears to my eyes…' go barby lolololololololol



  3. 3

    No babs their TALENT is being good at SUCKING DICK!..and whoring themselves out to the nation!…HOWEVER i do respect their mum for making so much money so i guess that's their talent…making money off stupid idiots



  4. 4

    You're not famous for being yourselves. You're famous for a sex tape, bb.



  5. 5

    KIM & MOTHER ARE SEXY



  6. 6

    Ah but they do have a talent that made them famous! Well, Kim does at least. Here's a hint: it's a talent of the being-pissed-on variety.



  7. 7

    haha duh?



  8. 8

    Love it ! That family needs to go away theyre famous for nothing but a sex tape. Thats just laughable, famous for being yourself. This is what this country prides itself in media. Im so looking forward to the next generation…:l



  9. 9

    Ummm, no. They don't have a good business sense - they just have enough money to hire a team of lawyers, PR firms, accountants, etc. who DO. Especially since the only one of the girls who even went to college was Kourtney, and she majored in Theatre Arts and Spanish…then we are supposed to think these girls all of a sudden know how to manage a multi-million dollar conglomerate? Call me skeptical…i don't see them in a lot of business meetings.



  10. 10

    OMG….YEAH YOUR FAMOUS FOR RAY-J PISSING ON YOU AND FUCKING THAT BIG COTTAGE CHEESE ASS OF YOURS. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A WALKING VIRUS. HOW DO YOU ALL SLEEP AT NIGHT, THE DEVIL MUST HAVE A PENTHOUSE WAITING IN HELL FOR YOU ALL, AND KRIS, SHAME ON YOU, YOU WRINKLE-UP OLD GARGOYLE.



  11. 11

    I thought it was priceless when Barbara asked Kim if she regretted making the sex tape.. she didn't even answer the question! The normal question would be "of course I regret it".. without hesitation since she has cried about it a couple of times in the past. Here is why I think she doesn't regret it… She was best friends with Paris Hilton right??. Well this is their conversation Kim: "Ugh I wanna be famous" Paris: "That's hot. Make a sex tape. I did one and it worked." Kim: "Oh that's a great idea". Kim did it and she said to herself "mission accomplished". The the rest is bullsh*t history



  12. 12

    I love how she tries to justify her celebrity status via claims that it hard work being on reality television. What a fucking tool.



  13. 13

    Oh god Barbara is a bitter bitch. What's her talent? Interviewing people while insulting them? Sounds like a strong talent…



  14. 14

    Hilarious!! Kim looks OLD. Jesus. Fat and old. LOL. Also, Khloe looks like a freakin line backer sitting in the middle..when is the mother going to reveal who Khloe's dad is…



  15. 15

    People need to leave them alone. Obviously your jealous that they can be famous for having sex! Maybe that led them in the industry, but they've obviously grew from it. i.e. perfume branding, modelling,spokesperson, etc. Everyone who are saying they're ugly are BLIND!! Seriously, they are ALL gorgeous!



  16. 16

    I love babs! ROLFLMAO. AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. PLEASE SNL, THIS WOULD MAKE A HELLA SCRIPT. LIKE, HOW HOT WAS THE PISS? MY FAV PART WAS BANS SHUTTING DOWN MOMAGER. NOT LYING TO THE QUEEN. ALL HAIL BARBARA!



  17. 17

    Re: jazz99 – LOL That was hilarious. Well said.



  18. 18

    They are all pigs….what is that expression? "you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig". This shows you how low as Americans we have become when you have a back door porn star and her ENTIRE family is famous because you got pissed on by a guy. We have let the media shove them down our throats to make them famous…..so by letting the media force no talent on us we got the KarTRASHians and Obama. Time to make all of them go away!



  19. 19

    KARDASHIANITIS, IGNORE FOR A CURE, check video on YOUTUBE.



  20. 20

    I'll take business over talent any day. There are plenty of unemployed talented people. Say what you want but these girls work hard at keeping their name out there and they put a ton of time into their craft of being personalities. Never did see the infamous sex tape and don't want to.



  21. 21

    Clearly the Kardashian's fifteen minutes are ticking away, and the sooner the better. But Khloe is the closest thing to real this family's got. She should be glad she doesn't look and act like a blow up doll.



  22. 22

    The Mom is already trying to pitch a reality show for Rob and another one for the 2 teenage daughters. The need to be shut down before they start shoving these next group down our throats.



  23. 23

    Now any host, singer or actor who wants to get a bit of fame just knocks the Kardashians, she is sounding like she discovered America. It's nothing new lot of people said this before you Barbara so why should we see you as a legend tall us?



  24. 24

    From what I understood about what Kim was saying (about it being harder to be yourself) is not that it is easy to be an actor, but that actors have characters, and scripts that are written for them, by writers that know what people want. Reality tv stars have a more difficult time being loved, because they are being themselves, you are trying to get people to like you for you, not for the you that a Hollywood screenwriter dreamed up.

    On that note, no, they don't seem to have much talent in the way of singing/acting etc. But they are in fact talented business women…. say what you will, but even if a sex tape is what made her famous, how long ago did Kim make the tape? And people are still talking about her? She and her sisters have still made money off of their perfume and clothing line, off of their show that people still watch. The Kardashians definitely know what they are doing as far as the business goes.



  25. 25

    I absolutely agree with Barbara. They are fame whores and they expect me to feel sorry for them. And the mother…if these were my children I'd be ashamed of myself for sitting along side them and encouraging them to pimp out themselves. After their 12 minutes of fame are up, they will be sad, hollow shells of human beings — even more than they are now.



  26. 26

    Why is the mother in the group ? She is not a Kardashian. She is a Jenner. Oh wait, she is's KK's brain and mouth. She says shit and they squat and say how much. The only one that I like out of all of them is Khole. She is getting a bad rap because she is a big girl. It's not her fault. You can see that she is big boned and tall. She was born that way. It's really tough to be picked on your whole life for being big. Not right.



  27. 27

    Re: canadiangirl9 – Yep, you got me. Clearly I'm jealous of kim because she had sex to get famous and GOSH DARNIT I WANTED RAY J TO PISS ON ME! Here's a thought, if I wanted to 'get famous' for having sex then I'd enter the porn industry, the fact that I don't says I have more respect for myself than kim does. So, really, she should be jealous of me.



  28. 28

    She did say getting people to fall in love with you being you. Well, what happens when the tides turn, as they have been at a very rapid rate? A lot more people hate tha kardashians and it's like a epidemic. You have no talent or next movie to fall back on so, hold on to that money!! No one is 100 % recession proof!



  29. 29

    LOL at the people saying they are smart business women. ROFLMAO..Uhh no, they are not. They are successful at that because of their fame. Any celebrity can open up a club, restaurant, clothing store, start their own clothing line,etc and people will buy it, solely because of the name attached to it. Most celebrity endorsed/made/sponsored things does real well. Jessica Simpsons clothing line sells better than a lot of other brands even thou it looks no differently than walmart clothes.

    They are successful at business because of what one person said..they can AFFORD to hire accountants, managers, a PR team, an advertisement team,etc,etc. It's not them doing the magic behind everything, its the massive team of people they have. They don't screw around with stocks or own shares or anything of that sort..because they don't know anything about business. All of that said, they are starting to tick away..people are finally getting bored, tired and annoyed with them. The sham wedding sealed the deal. They are getting called out more and more often..TICK TOCK

    They are so full of s h i t ! Kim's sex tape was a business decision, where they made 5 million dollars, and RayJ received nothing! I don't believe for one second that they felt any embarrassment over this, otherwise why would Kim subsequently pose for Playboy? It is perfectly in line with the many ways momager has acted as Kim's pimp!



  31. 31

    I smell abunch of haters!!!!♥



  32. 32

    cant agree more ! Honestly what's about the Kardashians ?! I dont get it ! Maybe it's cause i'm french so i don't have this culture of reality show like this but COME ON !! They are USELESS, BORING, and it seems that their heads are just fill up with emptyness !



  33. 33

    Re: Whatevers!!! – Kris takes 10% from each one.



  34. 34

    what happened PEEREX did momma tie her purse strings on you. no money -no love?

  35. Wrenn says – reply to this


    35

    Unless you consider whoring a talent then she's correct.



  36. 36

    Re: BeyondAmazing. – Actually, Barbara's talent is journalism….a career you actually go to college for. You really went there?



  37. 37

    Well Kudos to Barbara. Thanks you Barb.
    They don't have any talent & I think they are becoming a huge joke.
    I love how Kim lies so much i.e. "I never had butt implants" right, she just had her legs and waist liposuct to make her butt look bigger, or "I don't get botox" Right she gets Dysport its the same but different. I never had a nose job that's right, not A nose job 3 nose jobS. Kourtney is my fave. Khloe is mofugly & acts like a tard. That hairlip fugly mostrosity needs to go have a baby & stay home.



  38. 38

    Re: stephanier88 – You must be delusional if you think reality shows are not scripted by writers…get a clue chica.



  39. 39

    Barbara has balls!



  40. 40

    These four whores (and the two step-whores) have kunts. That's it. Kunts. No more. No less. (Unless you count the swag beef curtains.)



  41. 41

    Not to worry they will be the first ones eaten with the zombies attack. Wait, scratch that zombies like to eat brains.



  42. 42

    Ha, I loved that she said this - and Kim totally evaded the question. I do get what Kim is saying that there is pressure to get people to love you and be interested in you for being yourself - they kinda do lead boring lives when you think about it. Of course they are making money and have fame, but I think as far as public image it will backfire and already is beginning to. They will be remembered as more of a joke…they aren't gonna last much longer before something more popular comes along…these people are no legends in the making here.



  43. 43

    I just threw up a little in my mouth watching them.



  44. 44

    if barbara walters thinks they have no talent then what the fuck was the point of putting on her list and show then?! shes fucking stupid and needs to retire. and why was their mother there? grasping for fame much?



  45. 45

    Lol I soo agree with JAZZ99: When is their fame whore mother going to reveal who Khloes real dad is, she looks nothing like the rest of the sisters, and her personality is the most real. I love that Barbara posed that question to Kim that they have zero talent, and why are they famous, however it’s dummies like this who have these talentless people on their shows that is making them famous, I hope Walters had them on her show so she can finally have the opportunity to drop the ball on them lol. Bottom line these girls are famous due to stupid Ray Jay exposing his and Kim’s sex tape, and that bitch wanted that, as much as she lies and whined about it, she clearly said on that tape, looked into the camera and said to all of you who say my boobs are fake and she shook her fake boobs, it’s obvious she knew that was her ticket to getting famous, and b/c of her looks and being Paris Hiltons friend she got what she wanted. Their show is getting boring and they will fade out soon they better enjoy their last year of fame b/c there is no true talent here and after Kim pulled that short marriage stunt, can’t believe anyone even respects her still it’s not like she did anything else to make up for it, she’s not an actress, she can’t sing, their clothing line at sears looks like shit. This family doesn’t do anything to make a difference in this world for the better. I can’t wait until we don’t have see their talentless boring faces everywhere.



  46. 46

    you guys sound so bitterrrrr…of course u guys would be jealous..they have no talent yet they make millions..also who says they dont have talent..they have sucessful businesses and are doing very well as opposed to all of america.

    Re: canadiangirl9 – Oh stfu you dumbass bitch.. tired of this "jealous" nonsense.. if you are talking about money then no shit, everyone would like to have some, Sherlock.. Doesn't mean anyone wants to be or is jealous of a skank ass, selfish, greedy, whore, that copied her ex-best friend to fame, by sucking a lot of cock and getting dicked in the ass.. wow so much to be jealous of huh? and her business smarts? are you kidding?.. who the fuck doesn't know that you will and can get endorsements because you are in the public eye and have a fans base..? specially if they are morons and can't tell fake from a cat..everyone knows to capitalize on their fame..Duh! oh and p.s. that bitch is pure plastic and looks like a fugly horse.. yeah no thanks.. doesn't look shit like she used to.. pretty sad when even her looks are as fake as her personality.. you should go suck dick and give praise to your idol xD
    xD

    Babara Walters was so wrong for treating the Kardashians the way she did. First, that was rude; she embarrassed them by the way she told them they had no talent.But, do they really have no talent? I beg to differ. Granted they may have been discovered through a sex tape, they are not staying in vogue because of it. The Kardashians are very savvy. disciplined business women; They are compassionate women; They have family connectedness; They are definitely beautiful people. Barbara needs to get off her high horse. She has done her own share of compromising to get where she is. It is not special journalism talent that got her here. She has had enough time to perfect her skills since. Give these young people time to get to their own "apogee" or peak. I love the K's.



  52. 52

    Finally!!!! Someone finally said it! Thank you Barbara for putting these attention wh*res on blast for what they really are! This was the best interview of the year! BRAVO!! :)



  53. 53

    Re: BeyondAmazing. – Sounds like someone can't handle the truth…..



  54. 54

    GET THESE FUCKING K WHORES OUT OF HERE



  55. 55

    Ofcourse Kim is her favorite, that's her money-maker. The only ppl who worship/love them are the idiots on their blogs.



  56. 56

    Of course Babs is right! They are talentless!



  57. 57

    Ms.Walters , used the Kardashians, She knows they are big $$$$$$$$$$

    And has the gull to tell them they have no talent ,

    if she feels that strong against them , Then she should have booked some one else in.
    Dont hate the Kardashians because they are smart Women .
