What in the world, Barbara Walters??

This is NOT the kind of question that solidified you as one of the best journalists in the world — and it's actually pretty offensive!

She straight up asks Chris Christie if he's too fat to be the President of the United States, as if that's a prerequisite to the job.

Not only that, but she asks him why he's overweight, which seems like a completely unnecessary question!!

His reaction is nothing but appropriate. Well handled, Chris!

Watch (above) to see it all happen — and on a side note, Chris Christie totally has the alliteration to be President. LOLz!

If you've ever watched broadcast news through a critical, thoughtful lens then you should know NO news network is perfect, and all have some degree of political and philosophical influence…

But one of the WORST offenders of news manipulation under a political agenda is Fox News, which is why we almost squealed in delight when Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Thomas Ricks called out the network for "operating as the wing of the Republican Party."

Watch a man who has covered the military for YEARS voice his expert opinion on how Fox chooses to report on certain events (above)!

Obviously, right after Mr. Ricks' damning statement, the interview is immediately CUT, ’cause god forbid Fox News lets someone voice an opinion that doesn't coincide with what they want to their viewers to know.

Anderson Cooper publicly proclaimed his homosexuality earlier this summer but has only commented on his decision in print. Thanks to Kristen Chenoweth, however, that changed during the second season premiere of Anderson Live!

Watch the journalist-turned-television personality respond to his co-host's prodding and finally talk about why he came out to the public (above).

At first he seems a little uncomfortable to be talking about it, but maybe that's just because he wasn't expecting to be put on the spot. Either way, his blushing is adorbz!

Charlize Theron starred in two huge blockbusters this summer and is currently filming another one with Tom Hardy, but she may be taking on a role which could easily translate into more Oscar gold.

The actress, who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster, is producing and possibly starring in a film about the life of journalist Marie Colvin. The 56-year-old was tragically killed last February while covering the civil war in Syria.
