Barbara Walters Retiring In 2014

May 13, 2013 | 03:01 PM PDT

Filed under: Barbara Walters, NEWS, Politics, New TV, The View, ABC

WT411 called this one back in March: Barbara Walters is going to retire in 2014 after 53 years in the business, 37 of them with ABC. Announcing the news this morning on The View, Walters says, "I am not walking into the sunset. I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain. I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women - and OK, some men too - who will be taking my place."

Barbara's career began in 1974 as an anchor on NBC's Today. She would later become the first female to anchor a network evening newscast. A fascinating woman and an astonishing career.

Job well done, Barbara! Let the victory lap begin!

Barbara Walters Retiring In 2014!

Is Barbara Walters the most iconic newswoman of all time?
After 52 years in the business, news legend Barbara Walters is going to retire next year. The iconic 83-year-young newswoman will leave her position with The View and ABC News according to several sources. The resignation will reportedly take place in May of 2014.

Barbara's
career started as a news anchor on NBC's Today in 1974. Among her never-ending list of achievements, near the top has to be her accomplishment of being the first female to anchor a network evening newscast.

She'll certainly be missed, but since she'll still be gracing our small screens for the next year, we have plenty of time to say goodbye.

Do you think Tina Fey would actually consider joining "The View"?
It's been a long, sometimes tedious, sometimes fun road for Joy Behar on The View. After joining the show 16 years ago with Barbara Walters, the newswoman / comedian has announced she's leaving the program. ABC said in a statement, "Joy Behar has been instrumental in the success of The View from the very beginning. We wish her all the best in this next chapter, and are thrilled that we have her for the remainder of the season." Did you know Behar is 70?! Whether you like her or not, gotta admit she looks pretty darn good for that age!

Who should replace Joy? Sarah Silverman, Roseanne, Tina Fey… any other ideas??

After 83 years of happy living, Barbara Walters has finally contracted the chickenpox virus. Last week the legendary newswoman took a nasty fall and was recovering in a hospital, but after a fever popped up doctors realized Barbara had also been dealt chickenpox! And the only prescription isn't more cowbell, but antibiotics!

Typically something young kids get, chickenpox is a highly contagious but non-threatening infection. However, chickenpox in adults is a bit more serious, but doctors assure us Walters will make a full recovery!

Best wishes, Barbara! And NO ITCHING!

Are celebs more guilty of oversharing on Twitter than the rest of us?

Way back in 2006, Kelly Ripa scolded Clay Aiken for putting his hand over her mouth during Live!. She said that's a no-no and didn't know where that hand has been. Rosie O'Donnell then chimed in on The View saying Kelly's remarks were homophobic. Understandably, Rosie and Kelly haven't exactly liked each other ever since. But come on, that was over six years ago! Move on, right?!

NOPE. Apparently Kelly and Rosie ran into each other at Madonna's concert last night at Madison Square Garden. While the specifics aren't known, Rosie tweeted after the show, "Kelly Ripa - the girl can hold a grudge … #madonnaMSG"

Barf. Appearing on The View, Kim Kardashian had to answer some hard-hitting questions from Barbara Walters regarding her new boytoy Kanye West. Asking about marriage and babies, Kim said, “I definitely think anything I’d be in now is a permanent relationship.

 

As for kids, Kimmy tells the ladies, “I think that at the space I am in life now, kids is definitely something that I want.”

 

Kim and Kanye offspring? OMG. Like oh my gosh that's not a good idea.

Will Rosie O'Donnell have any of "The View" ladies in her wedding?


Looks like Rosie O'Donnell put a ring on it! After telling her studio audience during a taping of The Rosie Show, the host and comedienne tweeted a pic of her girlfriend-turned-fiancé Michelle Rounds flauntin' the ring.

Although Rosounds (Rosie+Rounds… work? Maybe not) just met several months ago and made their 1st public appearance together in September, Rosie is downright smitten and wastin' no time. Rumor has it they're going to marry over the holidays! Congrats Rosie!!

Making a trip next week to The View, Justin Bieber better be ready to answer some tough questions from the ladies. Or should I say, Leader of the B**ches Barbara Walters. 'Cause she wants to know, "Is Justin Bieber a virgin?"

Whoopi, Joy, and Sherri don't agree/seem to care. As Sherri erroneously put it, "He's 18." Except he's 17. Let's leave these subjects alone for another year or so. Trues?
