Barbara Walters doesn’t have any Myspace friends…
Posted by Media Outrage on November 30, 2007
Barbara Walters is now on Myspace but as of now she doesn’t have any friends besides Tom and Chris DeWolf who both work for Myspace. She really wants some friends and said it will be depressing if none of the hundred some million Myspacers reach out to her. Her exact words….
“I am now on MySpace,” the broadcast veteran, 78, told her View co-producer Bill Geddie on Barbara Live, her weekly Sirius radio show.
“What would bother me is if nobody got in touch with me,” she admited. “What if … nobody wanted to be my friend. I would be very depressed.”
Checking the computer to see just how many friends she actually does have on her MySpace page, Geddie was forced to inform Walters she has only two: MySpace founders Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson.
“Nobody else wanted to be my friend?” said a disappointed Walters. “Nobody I went to high school with? … Nobody wanted to get in touch with me?“
Her sorrowful response prompted Geddie to offer a plea to listeners.
“If you’re out there on MySpace, become a friend with Barbara Walters because it’s so depressing to look at this,” he said. “Really – just go on, say you love her or something, I watch The View all the time – something like that.”
Said Walters, with tongue planted firmly in cheek , “And that’s for real that nobody wants to be my friend? What have I done?“
