Guess Who Was Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating Person of 2007?
Friday December 7, 2007

Barbara Walters named Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling the most fascinating person of 2007 in her annual special Thursday.
Other honorees included Bill Clinton, Jennifer Hudson and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and disgraced shock jock Don Imus.
Victoria and David Beckham also made the list. Victoria — who has sported this controversial coif — opened up about her family's close relationship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (see their holiday card here), claiming that Cruise has never tried to introduce them to Scientology (unlike Will Smith).
"They are the nicest family," Victoria said of Holmes and Cruise. "They have their beliefs, but they have never, ever tried to press those on us. We're friends. We have a laugh with them."
Justin Timberlake, who was also featured, gushed about his romance with Jessica Biel. (Is she the next Hollywood Icon? Click here to find out.) "So far, so great," he said of their relationship. (See what their body language says about them here.) Come back later to see a video!
Honoree Katherine Heigl — who recently called her hit film Knocked Up "sexist" — revealed she wasn't glad Isaiah Washington was fired from Grey's Anatomy. "I think Isaiah added an aspect to the show that was necessary and good for it, on some levels. But that's not to say I don't think what happened should have happened." [Washington infamously called co-star T.R. Knight, her bridesman in her upcoming wedding, a homophobic slur.]
Heigl — who just turned 29 — also opened up about her own real-life tragedy at 7 when a car accident left her brother brain dead.
"It was hard," she said. "And a lot of the story line that Izzie, my [Grey's] character, deals with have a lot to do with brain damage, and a lot to do with organ donation, and a lot to do with young people dying. And I'm just ... ready for them to stop doing that.
"You suddenly realize this world is so volatile," she said about her brother's death. "You have no idea, at any given time, that somebody you love and care about is gonna drop dead, or get hit by a car, or be in a terrible accident. "

Obama should definitely be on that list.
So should that crazy Iranian president. I'm not saying I support him in any way, but he is certainly fascinating in his evil, and I think he has for better or worse captured out attention this year.

Babs has lost touch with reality. She's claiming now that her show this year is 10% higher in ratings than last year at this time...obviously, she doesn't know the rest of us can read....the show is going down the tubes...don't know anybody who watches it regularly anymore with the current idiots (Sherri and Elisabeth) on.

Jennifer Aniston is fascinating because she has shown so much inner strength. She seems able to just ignore the negative comments said about her and smile. I love her she is someone I would love to sit down with, drink a glass of wine and just have a conversation.

the only people that fascinate me are teachers, surgeons, nurses and day care providers. They are the ones we should look up to. Also, above all is our military who put their lives on the line everyday to protect this country. What have any of these people done to make the world a better and safer place? And she has the gull to make the man who hates this country most as fascinating, I hate this woman

Why would Angie or Brad make this list, they don't do anything fascinating, if you talk about doing charity, you would have to include most every celebrity in hollywood and if you say because they adopt from third world countries, then you would have to also have Meg Ryan, Calista Flockhart and countless others. They just are not fascinating.
