College Candy’s Top 10 Most Fascinating People
December 5, 2008 Posted in Reality
Barbara Walters debuted her Top 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008 last night and I’ve got to be honest…some of her choices left us thinking “What. The. Eff?” Clearly the list was a marketing ploy, but this year’s list was uber transparent.
So we thought we’d whip up a little list of our own absurdly fascinating people. Enjoy!

Barbara chose:
![]()
Will Smith – He’s got that new movie coming out, Seven Pounds, and he…um, yea.
CollegeCandy chose:
![]()
Flava Flav – What’s he been up to lately? Something fascinating, I’m sure.


Barbara chose:
![]()
Michael Phelps – Buttaface Michael Phelps. So, he won a bajillion gold medals. Whatever!
CollegeCandy chose:
![]()
Plaxico Burress - Homeboy shot himself. That takes the cake in fascination!

Barbara chose:
![]()
Miley Cyrus – She’s 16. Her career will be over before she’s even legal…(actually that in itself is pretty fascinating).
CollegeCandy chose:

Random little girl who wants to be Miley – She’s a better dancer than Hannah Montana herself! Work it, girl!


Barbara chose:
![]()
Tina Fey – Her impersanation of Barbara’s #3 will go down in history and we totally love her around here, but we still think Babs could have done better.
CollegeCandy chose:
![]()
Paris Hilton – It’s fascinating this girl’s even famous and even more fascinating girls are battling it out to be her BFF.

Barbara chose:
Rush Limbaugh – He just talks, and talks… and talks.
CollegeCandy chose:
![]()
OJ Simpson – Cuz he finally got sentenced today. A minimum of 15 years? Yikes!


Barbara chose:
Thomas Beatie - The she turned he is pregnant with his second child!
CollegeCandy chose:

Thomas Beatie – That’s legitimately fascinating. And kinda weird, no?

Barbara chose:
![]()
Frank Langella – No clue who this guy is, but I guess he’s playing Nixon in some movie.
CollegeCandy chose:
![]()
Bronx Mowgli Wentz – His name alone makes him more interesting than what’s his face above.

Barbara chose:
Sarah Palin – She was fascinating alright; her accent was something else.
CollegeCandy chose:
Heidi Montag – Queen of worst life decisions, she actually married that pr*ck. Let us pray…

Barbara chose:
![]()
Tom Cruise - He jumps on couches, turned his wife into a robot, and plays a guy who wants to kill Hitler. The most fascinating thing about him is how he managed to producs such an adorable child.
CollegeCandy chose:
Blake Fielder-Civil – Who you ask? Amy Winehouse’s crackhead hubby, who turned this talented star into a total drug addict. Oh, those two!

Barbara chose:

Barack Obama - The United States’ first African-American president! Outstanding!
CollegeCandy chose:

Barack Obama- Again, we had to agree with Babs. President-elect Obama is pretty damn fascinating.

No offence or anything…but Heath Ledger while incredibly talented and good looking…wasn't that fascinating and pretty much kept himself out of the lime light as much as possible. It would have only been because of his death to put him on a list like this and thats not really a good reason.

k so will smith and tom cruise are on the list for nothing really, except a movie, right?
and amy says heath ledger [if he were living] wouldn't qualify for the list?
just the curiosity is fascinating about him, we basically know every move of the fame whores barbara interviewed.
Tell us something we don't know.
quit reiterating the same bs.
heath would have been a perfect choice.
he was gorgeous, articulate and mysterious.
not to mention he was INSANE in batman.
NO ONE can deny that even you don't like those movies.
