On Feb 22 on Larry King....KING: OK, Barbara. What do you make of the Anna Nicole thing? The whole story?
WALTERS: I feel very sad for that beautiful little baby who one of your people kept calling the kid. Other than that, Larry, I may be one of the few people in the country who has not been following the story. And we have discussed it very little on "The View".
KING: Why do you think so many people are following? Why do you think there is such a fascination with it?
WALTERS: I don't know. Why do you? You do it every night.
KING: We do it, but I can't figure it out. I know I do it, the producers book it, I do it, we talk about it. But what is the fascination of it?
WALTERS: I'm not sure I know. I think there are more interesting things to discuss, more things that are important to people, more things that are inspirational to people. It's a very tawdry story. An awful lot of people seem to be involved. And I guess it's, you know, it's tabloid at its extreme.
KING: Now, "The View", though, has discussed Britney Spears. In fact, I think you even said you spoke to her manager, right?
WALTERS: Yes, I feel that's a different story. Britney Spears...
KING: Why?
WALTERS: Because this is a young woman who had great talent and still does have great talent and had a whole wonderful life ahead of her. And we have seen a lot of young people who seem to have it all misuse it and fall into terrible, terrible trouble.
