Top 10
Just in case you missed Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of 2004 special last night, here is the run down of her picks:
10. Oprah Winfrey – She turned 50 this year and does countless charitable good work.
9. Ken Jennings – He’s the guy who won over 2 million dollars on Jeopardy. He’s a devout Mormon and will give 10% of his winnings to his church (how many people would do that?).
8. Donald Trump – Master of The Apprentice and New York’s building tycoon.
7. Usher – Popular singer (They always have a singer in the top 10. I don’t necessarily think that Usher is fascinating, although he seemed pretty fascinated with himself.).
6. The Google Guys – These two guys are the creators of the search engine Google. They both live frugally even though they are now worth billions. One of the guys doesn’t even own his own car and he rents his apartment. Their motto is: Don’t Be Evil.
5. Michael Moore – Anti Bush, Anti Republican (lard butt) who created the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine.
4. Mel Gibson – Christian actor who made The Passion of the Christ spending 25 million dollars of his own money. The movie made over 500 million.
3. Curt Shilling – Boston Red Sox pitcher. He helped pitch the Red Sox to a win amid his ankle bleeding and turning his sock red.
2. Paris Hilton – Daughter of the Hilton Hotel founder. She became famous from the TV show The Simple Life.
1. Karl Rove – The president’s political advisor. The president has nicknamed him “Turd Blossom.”
