Each year, Barbara Walters selects the most distinguishing individuals for the year.  Yesterday (Dec 1) she announced her selection for the ”10 Most Fascinating People of 2011″ special on ’The View’ and was met with some unfortunate jeers.

Her choice to feature The Kardashians was not a popular one with audience members… or the show’s co-hosts! Although, Walters defended her decision and refused to apologize.

Other celebs to be featured include Simon Cowell, “Modern Family” stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet, Derek Jeter, Donald Trump, Katy Perry and wedding “thief” Pippa Middleton.

She kept two of the featured stars under wraps so we’ll just have to wait until December 19th, when the show airs on ABC to find out!
