Barbara Walters has decided on the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009. While I don’t agree with all her choices, it was still an interesting special to watch last night. Who did make her list?
Adam Lambert– American Idol Alum who gave a sexually shocking performance at the AMA’s
Brett Favre– NFL quarterback that has retired and unretired multiple times, still playing at age 40
Glenn Beck – Fox News Host
Jenny Sanford– Wife of philandering South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford
Kate Gosselin– Reality TV mom of 8, recently going through a bitter divorce
Lady Gaga– Singer and performer, known for her eccentric style and performances
Sarah Palin– Former GOP Vice-Presidential candidate
Tyler Perry– Actor and producer, most popular films are the Madea movies
The Three Michael Jackson Children – Paris, Prince, and Blanket
But Walters Most Fascinating Person- First Lady Michelle Obama. Walters and Obama talked about the importance of promoting healthy living and trying to beat childhood obesity. Obama recently started a vegetable garden on the White House Lawn and holds health fairs with exercise stations for children. The First Lady is a fan of working out herself, and often shows off some seriously sculpted arms. She told Walters on working out, “I really started right after I had Malia, our oldest, and some of that was, you know, in all honesty it was a little sort of revenge because I’m married to a man who has worked out all of his life. And regardless of how busy he is, he finds the time to work out. And there was a point at which I got a little resentful of that.”
