Barbara Walters Tells Off Donald Trump
Barbara Walters looked straight into the camera while filming a recent episode of “The View” (that is, once she figured out which camera to look at) and plain out told her old friend Donald Trump that he is being “a fool.” If that wasn’t clear enough, she admonished the tycoon and reality TV star with, “Stop it!

Judging from the adoring looks, we think it’s safe to bet they were the latest photos of little Olive.
Adam Levine spoke up against those who have been bullying his fellow “The Voice” judge, Christina Aguilera, about her weight. “It’s not cool. I’ve never liked it.

Alan Arkin, 78, has been keeping the press junkets and red carpet appearances for “Argo” interesting with his cantankerous attitude. As the oldest member of the cast — let alone the one who practically steals the show in the movie — he’s allowed.
