Barbara Walters to quit TV?

Barbara Walters is planning to quit TV.
According to the National Enquirer, the veteran ABC personality has told close pals she will retire when her contract with the network expires shortly.
A source says, "Barbara's thought long and hard over whether she wants to extend her contract when it expires with ABC this summer.
"It's left her with many sleepless nights. ABC sees her as one of its marquee female stars and would like to see her continue, but Barbara's decided she's 'done it all - many times over' and wants some time for herself.
"Her career has spanned five decades. She told a pal, 'I don't want to be 80 and working the phones to land an interview with one of the nobodies who pass for celebrities today.'"

She should quit. She should've quit years ago. She hasn't been relevant in a long time. Her list of 10 most fascinating people this past year says it all.

Her people are denying this flat.

She's been on TV since it was first invented, I'd say great-granny needs a break.

Get out then,....BaBa WaWa. I am sure she has made enough cash over the years to enjoy her retirement. She has earned it after working over the last 50 years. Enjoy life while you can, Babs......I know I would!

Just kill the View when you leave,....so I can see Hassel-Bitch fall off the celeb wagon of yours she has grabbed on to!!!

Ouch. I didn't realize she has such a big ego.
