Zac Efron Makes Barbara Walters Swoon On 'The View'

Share



It was undoubtedly a less awkward reception on David Letterman's talk show for Zac Efron than the one he received by Barbara Walters on The View.

While Walters gave Zac permission to keep his shirt on during his interview with his Me and Orson Welles co-star, Claire Danes, she did talk about such hard-hitting topics with the fetching young High School Musical star as his chest, bed head and after a while, his acting.

Much was made about Efron's inclusion on People's Sexiest Man Alive issue and it appears that Barbara was barely able to keep her hands off the 22-year-old. Don't believe me?

Tom Cruise Speechless Over Jett Travolta's Death

Share




Scheduling conflicts kept Travolta family friends Oprah Winfrey and Tom Cruise from being able to attend the funeral of the late son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. In fact, Tom was in New York being interviewed on The View.

On the show today, the ladies talked with Tom about his reaction to the death of 16-year-old Jett Travolta. Describing the situation as "horrific," Cruise told Barbara Walters, "I just don't have the words for it."

During the program, Tom said, "I remember Jett when he was born. I saw him when he was just a few months old and John just adored him, and both of his children, and Kelly."

News Bites: Patrick Swayze Is Tough

Share




-Actor Patrick Swayze recently opened up to Barbara Walters about his ongoing battle with pancreatic cancer for an ABC special airing on Wednesday. He admits that he's scared of the future. There's a lot of fear here," Swayze, 56, star of A&E's upcoming The Beast says. "There's a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, I'm scared. Yeah, I'm angry. Yeah, I'm [asking] why me," he goes on. "Yeah, I'm all this stuff. You can bet that I'm going through hell." Patrick Swayze is a tough bastard and he's not going anywhere. We support him fully and send good thoughts towards his recovery.

-Pink's not over her ex-husband Carey Hart, but she is. Huh? "It's up and down," she told Seventeen magazine (Tyra Mail!). "You have strong moments, and you have weak moments. But it's not just been devastating - it's been freedom, too. I told him that I would give him away at his next wedding." Yeah, she's over him.

-Mariah Carey is rumored to have been paid at least a million dollars to sing FOUR SONGS at Salf Khadafy's (son of some important Libyan, scary last name) New Year's Eve party at the Nikki Beach Club in St. Bart's. By the way, Beyonce and Jay-Z were there and loving it up. "I've never seen Jay and Beyoncé having such a good time," says a spy. "They were hugging and waving their arms. It was out of control." a source says. They were probably trying to rip Mariah off the stage so B-Day could sing. Egos.

Paula Abdul Blames 'American Idol' For Stalker's Suicide

Share




During an interview with Barbara Walters on the longtime journalist's Sirus XM radio show, Paula Abdul claims that it was American Idol producers who pushed to have Paula Goodspeed on the show.

Abdul said that she immediately recognized Paula as her stalker, who had been writing "disturbing letters for 17 years, almost 18 years." The Idol judge protested vehemently against allowing the potential contestant against whom Abdul had multiple restraining orders, to audition for the show. However, the "entertainment value" proved to be too good for producers to pass up.

After her unsuccessful audition, Goodspeed began sending Abdul letters that threatened bodily harm and included nude pictures of herself. It was when Goodspeed followed Abdul home after Idol auditions that she was able to ascertain Abdul's home address, where she ultimately took her own life.

Rosie O'Donnell YouTubes To Barbara Walters

Share




Taking a cue from Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, Rosie O'Donnell has struck back in reaction to Barbara Walters' comments via a YouTube video directed towards the former co-host on The View.

Although Babs didn't make a point of naming names, her comment of, "So if the shoe fits, lady--ladies--get on with your lives," was generally assumed to be directed at both Rosie and Star Jones.

On Wednesday, the day before Barbara's shout-out on The View, Rosie said of her former co-hostst during promotion of her upcoming variety special, "I'm not saying they loathe each other, but the fact of the matter is there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera."

Thank God for YoooTUUUBE, YoooTUUUBE!



News Bites: Kendra Wilkson Also Meeting 'Mother'

Share


-E! reports that recently engaged  'Girl Next Door' Kendra Wilkinson will also be joining Heidi Montag, her idiot partner Spencer Pratt, and Kim Kardashian in a guest appearance on a January episode of CBS' How I Met Your Mother. The storyline seems to involve Jason Segel's character's reading material in the bathroom. He should just bring his laptop and read our site. 1/2 the people we write about are going to be on the show.

-The brother of deceased American Idol auditioner Paula Goodspeed says that she was not stalking Paula Abdul, according to E!. Charles McIntyre, who lives with the rest of Goodspeed's family in Oakland, refutes claims by law enforcement  that Goodspeed was stalking AI judge Abdul and was mentally ill. He even claims Goodspeed had coffee with Adbul at a restaurant in 2005.  "She was not a stalker," McIntyre said. "She went down there to have a career, and when she went down in front of those American Idol judges, it was over," he added. "She was just like anyone else, trying to make it big as an actor or singer." Goodspeed's body was found in her car outside of Abdul's residence on Tuesday night, dead of an apparent suicide/drug overdose.

-Us reports that "the pregnant man" Thomas Beatie is once again with child. Barbara Walters confirmed the news on The View today, and showed footage from an upcoming interview with the transgender Beatie to air on 20/20 on Friday. His daughter June with wife Nancy was born in June. Beatie is reportedly in his first trimester. What makes him think his pregnancy is any less boring than anyone else's? You already gave birth once, the novelty is over!
