Larry Birkhead is a Total Knob

Posted by Karen Sugarpants


This story made me howl with laughter.  20/20 put together the Top 10 Most Fascinating People List for a show, hosted by Barbara Walters.  Larry Birkhead was contacted to be one of those people, but the show didn't use him.  I've said it once and I'll say it again, Larry Birkhead is a total knob.

These things happen of course, but Larry is delusional about the whole situation.  

"I was told well in advance after I had been selected for Barbara's show that I wasn't going to be on that particular show, but that Barbara wanted to instead interview me for '20/20' [in order to] feature my story at great length," he told me.

"It was said that '20/20' could dedicate a longer amount of time to my story, and that show would take longer than the time set aside for each nominee featured in the 'Top 10' show."

Birkhead denies tipping off the paparazzi to follow him last week so they could get "fresh pictures" of him for the show:

"Photographers follow me daily, so unfortunately there is no need to inform anyone of where I go and what I do," he says.

The final cut turned out to be David and Victoria Beckham, Justin Timberlake, Katherine Heigl, Jennifer Hudson, Bill Clinton, MySpace moguls Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe, Don Imus, Hugo Chavez, and "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling topped the list at #1.

Sorry Birkhead, being a professional daddy exploitation device doesn't make you fascinating, it makes you a trainwreck.  Get a real job!
