Barbara Walters Julia Roberts Life Story

JULIA ROBERTS WANTS TO STAR IN BARBARA WALTERS STORY

Julia Roberts wouldn’t mind having another Oscar, and she hopes Barbara Walters can help make it happen. Julia is trying to secure the rights to Barbara’s life story and hopes to play her from the years 1964 when Barbara was hired as a “Today girl” on The Today Show, until her death in 2022 at the age of 93. Her 1991 interview with Barbara cemented Julia as a major movie star and throughout the decades Julia sat down for chats with Barbara many times. Julia had a soft spot in her heart for Barbara’s achievements in a male-dominated industry, and she was truly in awe of her, so she’s gunning hard to land the rights to her story so she can both star and produce it.

Barbara Walters Jenny McCarthy The Talk The View

JENNY MCCARTHY ISN’T ENDEARING HERSELF TO THE AUDIENCE ON “THE VIEW”

Barbara Walters has a lot to think about on “The View.” She wants to maintain her shrinking lead over competitor “The Talk” and hoped that adding Jenny McCarthy to the group would do the trick. In November, the show will go to Disneyland for a week of live broadcasting to boost ratings. But outspoken Jenny is not testing well – viewers are not particularly fond of her. Ironically, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, whom Jenny replaced, had a great month on Fox & Friends news – ratings are up 22%. Unless viewers warm up to Jenny, her days might be numbered.

Barbara Walters Jane Wagner John Travolta Lily Tomlin Moment By Moment The View

BARBARA WALTERS THINKS IT’S TIME FOR LILY TOMLIN TO GET MARRIED

The ladies on The View did NOT drag our beloved Lily Tomlin out of the closet today – she outed herself in 2001. Barbara Walters discreetly pointed out that Lily has been with her ”partner” for an astonishing 42 years. (It’s especially amazing since Lily’s girlfriend and writing partner Jane Wagner was responsible for writing and directing the most humiliating movie in the history of Lily Tomlin and John Travolta in 1978. They played LOVERS and “Moment by Moment” was such an embarrassing stinker and flop that it has never been released for home video so you may never get to see the camp classic.) Anyway, Lily and Jane survived the movie disaster and mother hen Barbara Walters coyly asked Lily if she ever “thought about marriage.” Really Barbara, after 42 years together. Lily made a joke implying that deciding on the wardrobe (who wears the dress?) would be too difficult…

Barbara Walters Crush James Dean Remember Me Robert Pattinson The View

BARBARA WALTERS HAS A CRUSH ON ROB PATTINSON

At first it was a toss-up to decide which of The View women had the biggest crush on Rob Pattinson when he guested on their show today to promote “Remember me.” The ladies were dolled up and on their best and most coy behavior. They could barely contain their smiles and shy glances. But Barbara Walters definitely seemed most smitten. Not only did she compare Rob to James Dean (which is as good as it gets from her era – or ANY era for that matter) When Joy remarked about his looks and asked Barbara for her opinion, Barbara cooed “You already KNOW what I think.”
