Are You Barbara Walters?

She's a three-time Emmy winner and one of the most well-known taut faces in television -- but one TMZ photog couldn't tell if Barbara Walters was Barbara Walters.


Our cameraman spotted the 78-year-old den mother of "The View" outside Spago last night, and had the gall to ask Walters who she was. Making the scene more awkward was her male friend, who said, "No, I am Barbara Walters" and added that he was "positive" his friend was not.

Despite the diss, Babwa posed for cameras before taking off.

16. Barbara Walters is nothing but a joke these days & you can't take her seriously as a journalist anymore. She has become what the late, great Gilda Radner on SNL did portraying her in classic skits.

24. I hope Barbara wasn't out too late after dark ----- her diaper was probably getting pretty full and heavy.

26. Why do you people keep bashing people about their age, we're all going to be there one day. Grow old gracefully!! It's only a number, what really matters is how you feel in your heart. God Bless!!

28. She looks good for 78, yes she has had work done, but let's see how you look at 78. I was once a fan of hers, when she did serious news shows. Then came the giggles, by interviewing actors/actress. The View has been her downfall. But, she did blaze the way for women in news. For that she should be respected. For her actions on the View, no, she messed up. But as the other person said, we all mess up. And no, she cannot be trusted anymore, it is a gossip show. But close your eyes, if your over 30, remember the professional she was.

30. And here you have the problem with TMZ and this article proves it.
TMZ is a celebrity Hollywood site run and operated by people who seem to have little if any knowledge of Hollywood or celebrities.
They certainly have no respect for Hollywood history or for people in general.
Between that, an obsession with Britney and Levin's personal vendetta of the week, well it makes for a really crummy site.
If it did not link to aol, I doubt in anyone would even bother with it. It's just very convenient.
