This is some mighty tough fuckin' love coming from the woman who once asked Katherine Hepburn "If you were a tree, what kind would you be?"

Barbara Walters tired of celebrity interviews

By Christine Kearney 2 hours, 12 minutes ago

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Barbara Walters, famed for celebrity television interviews that often draw on-screen tears, says she's tired of Britney, Paris and the tabloid trend she helped create.

Walters, a pioneering journalist who became the first female U.S. network news anchor 30 years ago, has interviewed every U.S. president since Richard Nixon and other heads of state. More recently, she has been credited and criticized for soft interviews that elevated celebrity news above all else.

Now, before her annual show, "The 10 Most Fascinating People," airing on ABC on Thursday, the 78-year-old television journalist said she wants to focus on other topics.

"I am not going after the tabloid stuff, I don't do it," she said in an interview.

2. You NAILED it, my friend...

From King Kong:

"Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast."

That's the entire purpose of my post. She's tired of the very thing that she created. Are we better for her creation? Hardly.

3. I, however, beg to differ. (Well, actually, I don't BEG. I just differ). Try as you might to

'diss' Babba Wawwah, I've enjoyed her deep and delving interviews of stars, dating back
to her first radio interviews of silent movie stars. Some people found them a bit boring,
but - Hey! - look what she was working with.

I remember her first interview with Lillian Gish. She just gushed! (Do you get the gist?)
You must!

6. She also asked Katherine Hepburn "Why don't you ever wear dresses?"

To which the great Kate replied "I'll wear one Ms. Walters...to your funeral."
