The Barbara Walters Special - Blow by Blow
Published March 01, 2004
7:18 - Ok, the cast of Friends are truly friends in real life. They have been saying this since the first season. I don't care. Let it go. Thankfully this interview just wrapped up. This will probably be the last we have to see of Matt Leblanc except for those Friends re-runs in syndication. There is just no way his show is going to work like Frazier did after Cheers.
Diane Keaton - She used to be known for her acting, but now she is known for being an over-the-hill actress. It is a sad state of affairs, but the fact is that there aren't a whole lot of roles in Hollywood for an older woman, but you can't blame people for what they want to watch, I guess.
7:27 - What's with those off-colored yellow glasses that Diane Keaton is wearing?
7:29 - Awkward moment of the night (so far.) Barbara Walters just told Diane Keaton that "your naked body looked pretty good to me" in reference to her nude scene in Something's Gotta Give.
7:32 - Diane Keaton has just said that she would not marry Woody Allen. I wonder if this statement would have been true back in the 70's when Annie Hall came out.
7:33 - Warren Beatty is "beautiful" and "pretty." Al Pacino is "simply the most entertaining man." Al has a "killer face." If she drops any more names she is going to break a couple of toes.
7:35 - Uh oh. Diane Keaton is playing the "I am an ordinary person" card. Nobody who gets interviewed on the Barbara Walter's special is ordinary. I wish more of them were, but unfortunately for me, they are not.
7:36 - Diane Keaton says, "I like to be clothed" in relation to being named one of the 10 worst-dressed. This is just too easy.
Billy Crystal - Barbara says, "it is the toughest job in showbiz" to host the Oscars. Here, I thought the toughest job in showbiz was getting Billy Crystal in a movie. Seriously has he been in a good movie since City Slickers? Does anyone remember how bad Mr. Saturday Night was?

Other than Jennifer Aniston in The Good Girl, they really haven't had careers outside of Friends. Courtney Cox in Ace Ventura, I guess. Seriously though. What else?
Yeah and the Shrek interview was a very whorish maneuver. Mike Meyers was kind of funny, but it was such a cheesy thing to do.
I caught just enough of 'Bibbitty,' to just about chuck my cookies. Did some channel hopping, but came back to that disaster often enough to be sure it was a disaster. The 'interview' with Shrek was pure dreck. I would not be complaining much if there had been a couple minutes of face time for the character in the overall Crystal interview. But, no-o-o-o, Shrek gets an entire segment that is nothing but a commercial for the upcoming movie. Brought to you by the 'news' division of a big three network. People don't see through manipulation like this?
Not to mention that "bibbity" that old hag couldn't pull off anything this "fun" if her life was dependent on it.
Why Tom? He is not competent to educate America on mental health issues
tom is a loose gun and Kaynw (?) is not America.
I am commenting on the latest special about heaven. Barbara Walters seems to be quite ignorant of the fact that Jesus Christ himself said he was the only way to God. So if she has questions about it, she needs to talk to Christ about it, not attack those who believe in him by calling them judgmental. If she feels she has the authority to say that Jesus is lying or did not say those words, then she needs to demonstrate her authority to declare that, otherwise her remarks are nothing but slander. Next time, I'd suggest she become better prepared when interviewing people about their religions before she accuses them of things about which she knows nothing.

Babs interviews Shrek; more shameless 'news as marketing' from the Queen Pimp. She should have pulled up her skirt, spread her legs, and let Shrek do the wild thing. That would have been about as dignified.
re: Friends cast - hope they invested wisely; their 15 minutes are just about up.
Thank gawd.
