Barbara Walters was looking beautiful as she signed copies of her new book, 'Audition: A Memoir" at the Barnes & Noble in NYC yesterday. I wanted to find out how old she is exactly and ended up finding that she has two recorded birth dates. Either way she's in her late 70's and in my opinion looks great. Has anyone read her book, or plan on it?I watched her on Oprah last night (viva la DVR!!)  and at some moments, she got me a little misty. Talking about her sister and how they told her she died seconds before throwing her on stage to give a speech, her relationship with Rosie, her hurt over the Star drama... it was all very REAL and HONEST. And HELLO - MARRIED MAN AFFAIR? What the heck was THAT? Blew. My. Mind.Bauer Griffin

First Barbara Walters calls Donald Trump  "that poor, pathetic man". Now Donald responds with a letter calling Barbara a liar that Access Hollywood got a hold of.

"Barbara Walters has taken the low road for the sake of her show rather than the sake of her morality," he wrote in an open statement, sent out not long after "The View's" East Coast broadcast. "She lied with star Jones and now she has chosen to lie again."

So Rosie O'Donnell just happened to be on a "planned vacation" during the airing of a show where Barbara Walters said the following statement:

"ABC has asked me to say this just to clarify things, and I will quote: 'Donald Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy. Several of his casino companies have filed for business bankruptcies. They are out of bankruptcy now,'" (source)

Convenient eh?

"I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of The View. I certainly hope and expect that this tempest will pass quickly."

When Barbara Walters asked Marcia Cross if she was a lesbian in front of her parents, Marcia couldn't believe it. Barbara knew that Marcia's parents were in the audience and still insisted on "going there". Cross handled the question as appropriately as she could and then lost all respect for Walters. My question is, why is she bringing all this up now?

Cross claims the incident made her lose respect for the veteran newswoman adding, "I have to tell you that I am not a huge Barbara Walters fan. That ended for me. "My dad was in the front row going, 'What did they say? Are you a what?' I just thought about Barbara, 'You didn't have to ask me that question. That was tabloid-y of you.'
"I felt really used. So now I don't really like looking at Barbara Walters!"
