Barbara Walters says celebrity interviews are now beneath her, claiming:

“I am not going after the tabloid stuff, I don’t do it.”

As Jossip rightly points out, the word missing from the above is “anymore.” She said she was tired of celebrities right before her “The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2007” program aired, which included such Nobel Prize winners as David and Victoria Beckham, Justin Timberlake, Katherine Heigl, and Jennifer Hudson.

So, half the list. And Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling, who topped Walters’s rankings, wouldn’t even sit down with her for an interview. So much for being a serious journalist!
