Barbara Walters: Lesbian

On The View today the crones were talking to out gay person David Hyde Pierce, and he mentioned that he never gets to do love scenes. Generously, Whoopi said she’d do one with ol’ Niles. Then, perhaps finally sensing her opportunity, ringleader Barbara Walters made a pass at Ms. Goldberg.

All of it culminated with awkward camera work and Joy shrieking that Babs had just come out and then Ms. Walters making a “don’t ask, don’t tell joke” and our heads lolled back on our necks and our ears started ringing. So, nothing new from The View.

    I ♥ the DHP, too. He was awesome in "Curtains" and totally deserved that Tony Award.

    @misslinda: Oh wait, I just got your reference to her mother being a Lesbian. Good one! And now I have to shoot myself for knowing that.

    @bytememehard: Wasn't it just yesterday she was groping some newscasters on a morning show? How quickly we forget.

    @misslinda: I don't know about Carrie, but I hear her mom would jump on it.

    @Mediokra: teehee Teresa!

    I ran into Whoopie in Vegas this weekend wandering around the Wynn. It took every ounce of strength I had not to yell out "Oda Mae Brown!" Anyway, she is much tinier and prettier in person than you would think, but Barbara can definitely do much better. She should have that Carrie Prejean girl on The View, I hear she's quite a flirt.

    @BowlingForDollars: That she'd do a love scene w/ David Hyde Pierce? ;)

    @shorty63136: It's one of my favorites. I think it's a little more high-brow than a lot of comedies and since I love opera and classical music and literature, I delight in some of their jokes. It's on Lifetime from 10 to 11 a.m. and midnight to 1 a.m. and it's on another channel at 1 a.m. sometimes. Maybe WPIX?

    They can both do better.

    @DahlELama: I ALSO LOVE DHP SO, SO MUCH. I would do a love scene with him any day.

    Maybe he can donate some forehead to that Real Housewife of New Jersey...?

    @Mount_Prion: C.U.C.A.R.A.C.H.A.: Daphne!

    Come on, it was a good show.

    Well he never does love scenes because he never quite managed to get with that british woman. Damned if I remember any names from that show except for Frasier.

  • FroderickFronkensteen

    @DahlELama: So much love for the DHP. I'm pretty sure he coined the "Gay Gasp" without even knowing it.

    I LOVE YOU NILES CRANE. I'm not sure when you developed a six-head, but I LOVE YOU.

  • SugitaAlcimede

    I don't understand. Whoopi is neither married nor a powerful political figure. Why would Barb "the mattress" Walters be interested?

  • Chell

    I totally had a crush on Niles.
    I still kind of do, despite the six-head.

  • pitviper

    I saw David Hyde Pierce when he was in Spamalot. Super, super talented guy.
