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:

Holy shiz! We didn't think this day would ever come!

At the age of 82, Barbara Walters has reportedly decided to retire in the following year, as she was overheard telling the President exactly that during a recent interview!

Microphones apparently picked up Babs telling him:

"I need one more interview with you because I'm retiring next year."

Aww! If this is true, then it's certainly a bittersweet revelation!

With the longevity of the career she's had, we commend her still holding more than her own in the biz, but we're certainly going to miss her!

UPDATE:

ABC News EVP Jeff Schneider has issued the following statement regarding this report:

“Barbara has joked that she is retiring every year since the Clinton Administration. Anyone who just did a day trip to Syria and a 90 minute primetime special and interview with the President and First Lady hardly sounds like someone retiring from anything."

Phew! Glad to know that was just a nasty rumor!

Babara for life!

Sorry, Babs!

Maybe it was people protesting the Kardashians being on the list, maybe it was something else, but The Most Fascinating People of 2011 didn't fascinate by the numbers.

Barbara Walters reeled in 8.34 million viewers, scoring a 2.3 demo, but that's a whopping 30% down compared to last year's run!

Steve Jobs was number one, but we think enough people were miffed with the Kardashians being placed on the list, it might have turned some people off… wah-wah…

Whatevs, Babs is still one of the baddest bitches on the block!

Not a Kardashian, so calm yourself down!

There are more than a few people (cough-Joy Behar-cough) who were miffed with Barbara Walters for choosing the Kardashian family as one of her most fascinating people of the year. We're on Barbara's side on this one, considering the impact the family has made on pop culture this year, but we didn't feel like they should come in at the #1 spot.

As it turns out, they didn't. But who did? It's the man with the vision, the man who left us too soon, the man who gave us the world in the palm of our hands:

If Barbara Walters wants you to learn one thing, that thing is not to trust the Kardashians!

LOLz!

Check out this clip from the Letterman Show, where she's asked point blank why both Donald Trump and the Kardashians didn't make her list — and she has some pretty good reasons for both!

Do U trust the Kardashian Kulture?? If so, why?? If not, why not??

Has anyone out there figured out who Barbara's MOST fascinating person is yet???

Check out the sneak peek (above) of Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011!

As we mentioned before, there don't seem to be any surprises here…then again, we STILL don't know who the most fascinating person will be!

Will U tune in for Barbara's show tonight? Who do U think is the most fascinating person of 2011???

Ouch!

Barbara Walters appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show last night, and apparently, took quite a bit of issue with her inclusion of the Kardashian family on her most fascinating people of 2011!

Check out his comments on the reality family (above)!

We'd certainly have to argue ourselves that there is a big difference between being overexposed and 'fascinating,' Babs!

But hey! What do U think??

Team Babs or Team Bill?

The personification of klass!

So yesterday on The View co-host Barbara Walters was all excited to announce who she will be interviewing for her famous annual "Most Fascinating People of the Year" interview special.

As expected, the hen's Barbara calls co-hosts ruined all her fun!

After they disagree with the first few of her choices — which includes the Kardashian family — Ms. Walters is pushed to remined them that she doesn't have to be on their little show, and dramatically yells out:
