Barbara as Walter

It's been a tough couple of weeks for Barbara Walters ... and it's showing.

Babwa put on her bravest face (or someone's) for Katie Couric's big 50th birthday party in New York, and by "bravest," of course, we mean disturbingly drag-queen-esque.

The "View" den mother looks like she spent some time behind scaffolding -- with these tranny-like results.

Seriously TMZ, Babwa is 130 years old. She was declared legally dead in 1998. It's amazing that her skin is still flesh coloured. She had here face 'tweaked' the same way the front end of my car was tweaked by the body shop after I hit a deer on the highway at 65 mph. Babwa had the same work done as my car, except for fixing a headlight and replacing the airbag.

Standards are badly needed.:  1856 days ago

Different hairdo drags her face down a bit. Change the hair, and she'll look like the one on the left again.
Hey, she's a fabulous, brainy dame whose work we've enjoyed for decades.
Kudos to Barbara in all ways. We should all accomplish as much. Love her shows, mostly. I think Clint should ask her out again if he's single.

TMZ, YOU GUYS are the reason a woman cannot 'age gracefully'. You pick and pick and pick at every flaw until people feel they HAVE to get surgery or else face your insults. Let's see what YOU look like when you're 80 years old.

Well, I know that is not a picture of me! IMO, she looked much better in the Sept. picture. Maybe that one was taken on her 77th birthday. Her birthdate is 9-25-29 according to NNDB. Maybe the stress of Rosie is taking it's toll. I think her hair looks lighter and wonder it it's all hers or a "combover." You know, the style Rosie seems to be so fond of!. Maybe Rosie will be doing one of her impersonations tomorrow after they see this picture!

Looks like hiring Rosie has been a little hard on Babs. She might want to re-think that one at contract renewal time.
