Yesterday I felt lost watching the Inauguration on TV without Barbara Walters commenting on ABC. Thankfully Diane Sawyer acknowledged Barbara’s absence on air during the telecast. So I guess you can say, “I’m a Barbara Walters fan.” She’s been waking me up in the morning almost my entire life. Plus, how would I know who is or isn’t ‘fascinating’ without her help?!
So how is my favorite News Diva?
Whoopi Goldberg updated viewers on Barbara Walters‘ condition saying that the ABC News veteran is still in the hospital with a fever but making progress towards recovery.
Walters was admitted to the hospital after she fell on a stair at the British ambassador’s residence in Washington, D.C. and cut her forehead on Saturday. On Tuesday’s “The View,” Goldberg read a statement from Walters, who said:
“First and foremost, I want to thank all the people who have called, written and been concerned about me. I am most appreciative. I’m running a low grade fever and the doctors are keeping me in the hospital until my temperature is normal. I’m pleased to say that it is going in the right direction and I will be home soon.”
OABC News’ Jeffrey Schneider said that Walters was “alert” and was in the hospital for observation “out of an abundance of caution.”
Walters’ last health scare was when she underwent heart surgery to replace a faulty valve in 2010.
Watch News Yorkers choose between a Yoplait yogurt, Nature Valley granola bar and 7-11 Beef and Cheese combo pack on Serve, Taste or Trash! Food Game. You might be surprised by the results.

Divabetic Diva Inspiration for December, Anne Hathaway was in the middle of shooting The Dark Knight Rises when Les Misérables began casting, and right away, she says, she “really, really wanted this part.” She first saw the musical at age seven, when her mother, who was the understudy for Fantine in a touring production, went on in the role. “I’ll never forget it—I just sat there sobbing,” she recalls. “And I don’t think it was just because I was watching my mother die, though that was definitely part of it. I was just so moved and felt so connected to her and the music and the whole production. I’ve been in love with the show ever since.”
