Barbara Picks This Year's 10 Most Fascinating People. Who Makes the Cut?

Barbara Walters picks the 10 most fascinating people in 2008. So what do we think? Let's go through it in pictures.

#10 Will Smith - Hubba hubba, we dig the fresh prince for making the jump from the little screen to the big one but wasn't I Am Legend in 2007? What did we do exactly in 2008...Hancock? I see..each of your last eight movies grossed more than $100 million. Nice! Guess these muscles don't hurt either....(that's for you, Cathy)!

#9 Michael Phelps, aka Screech (to my sister), this Olympian made..you heard me MADE the Olympics this year. Ok so the opening ceremonies were also amazing but it didn't make my heart palpitate like the nail biting endings to Phelps swim matches. Just remember that Lezak saved your ass on the 4x100 relay!

#8 Miley Cyrus. Yack. Ok we're done here. Moving on.

#7 Tina Fey - Not only are you a kick ass producer and star in 30 Rock, you helped make sure McCain lost the election with your awesome Sarah Palin impression. Do you belong on this list? You betcha!

#6 Contentious conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh hits No. 6. Don't like him myself but there's no doubt he's still got a hardcore fan base. (Just lay off those illegal pain killers, Rush, no one likes a massive hypocrite.)

#5 - The pregnant transgender man/woman Thomas Beatie: Oprah made you famous dude...I mean dudette. I'm moving on.

#4 - Frank Langella - He played Nixon in the Broadway production of Frost/Nixon which won him a Tony. "Frost/Nixon" tells the behind-the-scenes story of the 1977 interviews between British TV personality David Frost -- played by Michael Sheen -- and the former president. Nothing funny to say here. Sorry. Moving on.

#3 Sarah Palin - What would the elections have been without you? You gave us some great laughs but all kidding aside, you had the balls to put yourself out there so major props. (Just don't get all crazy on us and plot your revenge on America by trying to be president in 2012.)

#2 Tom Cruise - Scientologist who cast voodoo on our cute Dawson Creek star, Kate Holmes, causing her to believe she was in love. I'll give you credit, Tom, for your awesome albeit small role in Tropic Thunder...and your kid Suri is just adorable but don't think for a moment that America doesn't think you're still crazy....

and yeah baby who's #1 but our President Elect Mr. Barack Obama. A man who brought hope back into America.

No major surprises on this year's list. Your thoughts?
