“Barbara Walters is a shameless media whore,” says Marc Dice, spokesman for conservative media watchdog group The Resistance. “Barbara has now sunk to the very level of other attention-starved celebrities such as Paris Hilton or even Steve-O from ‘Jackass.’ ”
Walters’ spokeswoman, Cindi Berger, told Page Six: “This conservative watchdog seems to have lived a sheltered life in his doghouse.”
In “Audition,” Walters also reveals she broke up with Brooke only after Pete Peterson, the Blackstone Group founder who was Richard Nixon’s commerce secretary, told her that her bosses at NBC wouldn’t look kindly on her affair. But by the time she told Brooke it was over, he’d already asked his wife of 30 years for a divorce.
Meanwhile, Christie Brinkley - who divorced Peter Cook when she caught him cheating - told “The Insider” last night: “I was a little surprised by [Walters’] affair with the married man. Barbara is a pretty smart cookie, how did that happen? I didn’t think intelligent women did that.”
“Audition” also reveals that after breaking up with Brooke, Walters continued seeing Greenberg while also dating Alan Greenspan, the future Federal Reserve chairman.
Her Latina housekeeper couldn’t keep the two Alans straight. “When they gave me the message, I could only ask, which one talked louder?” Walters wrote. “Alan Greenberg . . . talked in a normal tone of voice. Alan Greenspan was very soft-spoken. He almost whispered. And that’s how I would know whether it was Greenspan or Greenberg.”
