Maybe she was really upset about her mom retiring?!?!

No matter what the reason, there’s no excuse for driving under the influence!!

Barbara Walters’ 44-year-old daughter, Jacqueline Danforth, was pulled over and arrested on Sunday for the same reason Reese Witherspoon’s hubby was pulled over and arrested not too long ago.

Maybe Jacqueline's arrest video will leak too?? LOLz!!

Barbara Walters has been very hush-hush about the whole affair, because apparently she felt that the media

Angelina Jolie is one tough lady!

The actress/ director recently revealed that she was recovering from a double mastectomy she had to reduce her risk of breast cancer. But now it looks like her battle isn't done just yet, as she plans on having another surgery to have her ovaries removed.

Apparently the same, defective BRCA1 gene that led to her last operation also puts her at a 50% risk to develop ovarian cancer. Well Angie didn't like those odds and decided to go under the knife one more time!

After hearing official word on her imminent departure, we're not at all ashamed to admit we spent much of Monday wiping away dried, salty tears from our face!!

Barbara Walters is retiring from The View in 2014 and the world sure will miss her charm, experience, and thoughtful insight!

We're elated she's beginning a new phase of her life, though, and THRILLED she has the clout to dictate her own terms!

Unlike the times NBC unceremoniously pushed out Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Ann Curry, and now Jay Leno again, ABC let their golden gal call all the shots!

Angelina Jolie was so brave to reveal to the world her decision to undergo a double mastectomy.

And her courage is giving others the strength to talk about their own procedures!

Barbara Walters said today on The View that she too had preventative surgery! She said:

"My sister passed away from ovarian cancer and I had my ovaries removed. It’s not like having the breasts because people don’t see it. But it’s a decision you have to make — it’s preventative. What I think with Angelina Jolie — she’s such a sex symbol and we associate sex with breasts. And the fact that she did this and has retained her beauty and her sexuality. I think it was brave of her, she did it for her own health, but it was so brave to write about it. A women’s sexuality is not tied up with her breasts."

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to hear the whole heated conversation!

We applaud the bravery of these women to speak so candidly about their struggles, using their celebrity to help to remove the shame from these potentially life-saving sacrifices.

You go, gurls!

Courtney Love visited the lovely ladies of The View this morning and Barbara Walters grilled her like a steak on Sunday!

After viewing a clip of strung out mid-90s Courtney, Babs demanded to know whether the Hole front-woman was using drugs once again!

Ch-ch-check out the clip for yourself (above) to see the widowed musician's surprising answer!!!

We can't believe it's been 19 years since Kurt Cobain took his own life.

Since then, it's been a roller coaster of a ride for his widow Courtney and their lovely daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

We're happy to see Mama Bear looking happy and healthy these days; hopefully the substance abuse problems are a thing of the past!
