2011′s Most Fascinating People, According to Barbara Walters

One word. Well, four actually. Kris, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim. You’re reading this correctly. Barbara joins much of America in keeping up with the Kardashian clan so much so that they’ll be featured on her primetime special this December when she names her 10 most fascinating people of 2011. The full list will be featured on her special airing December 14th on ABC. Joining the Kardashians is Simon Cowell (of American Idol and The X Factor), Derek Jeter of the Yankees, Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson of Modern Family, Pippa Middleton, Katy Perry and Donald Trump. As for who will round off the list as the #1 most fascinating person of 2011 … well, you have a couple weeks to dig deep in your pop culture knowledge to figure out just who might top the list. Who do you think is #1? Who is missing from the list? And do we even have to ask who is perhaps the most polarizing choice(s) of this list?
