Barabra Walters has listed her “Most Fascinating People of the Year.” At the top of that list is Michele Obama. Last year it was her husband, President Obama.
“It wasn’t that I didn’t believe in my husband as a phenomenal leader,” she said. “I mean, that was always the pull — because I always thought, ‘Well, if I wanted somebody as my state senator, or as my U.S. senator, or as my president, I would want Barack Obama.’ And the only reason he wouldn’t do it is if I said no.”
Other members on this year’s list: Glenn Beck, Brett Favre, Lady Gaga, Kate Gosselin, Michael Jackson’s children, Adam Lambert, Sarah Palin, Tyler Perry and Jenny Sanford.
Angelina Jolie Does Not Like Obama

Barack Obama does not have Angelina Jolie’s seal of approval.
“She hates him,” a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador, 34, tells the new issue of Us Weekly.
“She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise,” adds the source.
But don’t expect to see the Salt actress rally against Democrats on Fox News like her staunch Republican father, Jon Voight.
“Angie isn’t Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors,” the source says.
And those political views are putting her at odds with Brad Pitt, 45, who is a big fan of the president and even went solo to the 2008 election party in Chicago.
“They get in nasty arguments all the time about it,” says the source. “She doesn’t respect Brad when it comes to politics, but, in the end, this won’t tear them apart.”

President Obama calls Kanye West ‘Jackass’

Officially, rapper Kanye West is not a “jackass” — at least not as far as the White House is concerned.
President Barack Obama apparently was speaking off the record Monday when he used that term to characterize the performer’s stunning interruption of Taylor Swift during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. While Swift was accepting the award for best female video, West rushed the stage, grabbed the mic and proclaimed that Beyonce had made the best video of all time.
ABC News’ Terry Moran tweeted the president’s off-the-cuff comment about West to his 1 million-plus followers on Twitter.
