Barbara Walters Tells The Kardashians They Have No Talent
The Kardashian Klan earned a spot in Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011 special on ABC Wednesday night. It's not really that surprising since the family's had more headlines this year than ever before with Kim's wedding, Kris Jenner's facelift, Kim's divorce, and Kourtney's pregnancy. Yes, 2011 was quite a rollercoaster ride for the reality family and America couldn't help but climb aboard to watch the drama unravel. So I guess that qualifies all them as fascinating.
But Walters wasn't going to let them off easy. In a sit-down with the famous family, the legendary journalist didn't hold back and immediately confronted Kim about her sex tape, asking if it turned out to be a good thing for her and her family in the long run. And in true Kardashian form, the reality star side-stepped the question with a vague response, saying, "I have made mistakes in my life, for sure," while failing to specify if the XXX film was one of those mistakes. But Mama Jenner was quick to chime in with a follow up response, reminding her daughter, "You learned a lot from that." The lesson being: yes, sex sells and is a great way to jump-start a career in the entertainment industry.
Additionally on Wednesday's special, Walters asked the Kardashians how they are able to maintain our attention without actually possessing any real talent (burn). She elaborated by saying, "You don't really act; you don't sing; you don't dance. You don't have any -- forgive me -- any talent!" This was a great question not only because it's absolutely hilarious, but also because it's so true. This family does absolutely nothing remarkable or talent worthy, yet we can't help but keep watching them. So what gives? Kim responded, explaining that despite their nonexistent gifted abilities, they still manage to be "very entertaining." She also remarked that there's more pressure on reality stars to "get people to fall in love with you for being you," so I guess that's supposed to qualify as their talent?
Regardless, the interview was totally worth it just to watch Walters so blatantly insult the family members to their faces. If you haven't already seen it, click here to watch it. You won't be disappointed!

Celebrities React To The 2012 Golden Globe Awards Nominations
Nominations for the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced early this morning, and The Artist led the way with six nominations, and was followed closely by The Descendants and The Help, who both earned five nods each. On the television side, Boardwalk Empire and Modern Family (who swept the Emmys board this past year) were among the top favorites. The recognition came as a surprise to some of the nominees, who never expected such an honor, but they're definitely not complaining. In fact, they're exceedingly grateful.After hearing the nominees, Seth Rogen -- whose film 50/50 is up for Best Comedy Film -- told The Hollywood Reporter "The fact that any of us are getting nominated for anything is ridiculous, but it's really exciting." Additionally he stated, "I hope it makes people who were afraid to see the movie realize that it is in fact a comedy."
Angelina Jolie -- whose film In the Land of Blood and Honey was nominated in the Best Foreign Film category -- reacted to the news, saying, "I am grateful that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is honoring our film. This was a true collaboration and I am forever indebted to our cast and crew, who experienced their own personal tragedies in the Bosnian War and gave me an authentic perspective into the conflict. This nomination is a tribute to the collective talent and passion of this extraordinary cast."
Kelsey Grammer was more than happy to receive a nom for Best Actor in a TV Drama Series for his role in Boss. Grammer stated, "It is rewarding, not only to receive personal recognition from the HFPA, but to see that those who worked so hard and tirelessly to make Boss a reality were also recognized."
Even legendary director Martin Scorsese had a few things to say about his Best Director nomination for the film Hugo, saying, "Making Hugo was an extraordinary experience for me. It gave me a chance to work in 3D, which I've wanted to do since I was young; it allowed me to make a child's adventure, the type of picture that I loved when I was young; and it provided an occasion to pay tribute to one of the cinema's greatest pioneers, Georges Méliès. Given the support they've provided to The Film Foundation in our efforts to restore many films over the years, the recognition of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this particular picture has a very special meaning for me."

Alyson Hannigan Is Pregnant!
So remember this one time a few months back when Alyson Hannigan adamantly dismissed all those pregnancy rumors after a photographer caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a tiny baby bump? Hannigan chalked the bulge up to carnival food, but recent reports reveal that wasn't the case at all. It turns out she was holding out on us and actually does have a small child growing inside of her. How do we know? The actress' rep confirmed the exciting news to US Weekly, assuring us that a little bundle of joy is well on its way.
This will be the starlet's second child with her husband of eight years, Alexis Denisof. The pair already share a two-year-old daughter, Satyana, but are eager to add another addition to their growing family. A source close to the couple told the magazine, "Alyson is thrilled to be pregnant! She's been wearing baggy clothes to cover the baby bump."
Congratulations to the soon-to-be-parents! And since it's almost Christmas, I forgive you for keeping it such a secret.

Britney Spears IS Engaged to Jason Trawick
Update: It's confirmed! Britney and Jason are officially engaged. People reports Jason proposed last night in Los Angeles at his birthday party. A witness said, "He surprised her after she gave him his gifts and after they had cake last night." The details on the ring are sparse, but we do know it was made by famed celebrity jewelry designer, Neil Lane.
Earlier: Even though TMZ reported Britney Spears' boyfriend, Jason Trawick, was planning on proposing to the pop star tonight, it seems like Trawick popped the question a little earlier than it was anticipated because Britney just posted a message to her Facebook page that reads, "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I have been waiting for. Can't wait to show you. SO SO SO excited!!!!! Xxo." The outlet followed up with the story by talking to various sources close to the couple, who said Trawick planned a "MASSIVE" dinner tonight at the Chocolate Lounge in the Sugar Factory at the Paris Hotel, where there will be chocolate fondue and all the men will get to indulge in chocolate truffle cigars. Later, the couple plans to head to the Chateau Nightclub to continue celebrating the occasion.
Radar Online recently gave us some insight as to what the engagement ring looks like, and talked to people who said Trawick kept things simple. One person said, "Don't expect anything too massive or obnoxious. This ring will be classy and under 4-carats." Another added, "She isn't going to be disappointed." If the news is true, congratulations to the happy couple!
