Miley Cyrus, and the cast of "Duck Dynasty", Kayne West & Kim Kardashian are among Barbara Walter's choices for the Most Fascinating People of 2013.
- So it's official. The world is ending this month.
Also making the list is Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, GMA anchor Robin Roberts, former NSA Leaker Edward Snowden and Prince William & Kate Middleton's infant son George.

- Barbara didn't actually pick Snowden...he leaked a list with his name on it so she had to go with it.

- I have more comments about this but I don't want to drone on and on.

On a personal note... Happy Birthday to my incredible wife Gail! We started dating when she was 15 and I was 16, meaning that we've been together for almost 30 years now! Seriously, in addition to my six wonderful daughters, Gail has given me a lifetime of joy and happiness and has pretended to enjoy more documentaries on World War II than any spouse on Earth. (She knows more about Hitler than Eva Braun). I am blessed to have her as my "Much Better Half"!
Happy Birthday Gail!
Have a great day and I'll see you back here Wednesday...
