ABC’s Barbara Walters unveiled her choices for the “Ten Most Fascinating People of 2009″ during a special presentation that aired Wednesday evening, ABCnews.com reports.  Walters’ picks featured newsmakers from entertainment, politics, sports, and music.  First Lady Michelle Obama, “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ star Kate Gosselin, singer Lady Gaga,  former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and the late Michael Jackson’s three children were among the people featured during the special.

Also featured were FOX News host Glenn Beck, musician Adam Lambert, filmmaker Tyler Perry, NFL quarterback Brett Favre, and South Carolina’s first lady Jenny Sanford.

Many tweeps expressed their dismay about Barbara Walters’s choices while others strongly agreed with her picks:

1. 
   extroverbalist Barbara Walters’s definition of “fascinating” re: her 10 Most Fascinating People should be disclosed to help explain why K8te, Gaga, Favre
2.

After five seasons, the last episode of “Jon & Kate Plus Eight”  aired on TLC Monday night, the result of months-long drama that led to Jon and Kate Gosselin’s divorce, according to a report from EW.com.

The New York Times reports that nearly 4.3 million viewers tuned in to watch the series finale, which followed Kate as she took the children to an organic dairy farm and then Jon as he and the kids helped a fire department raise money by selling lemonade. Jon and Kate also gave separate, direct-to-camera interviews (as had become the typical format since the parents’ separation), explaining their version of how the show’s popularity affected their lives.

Many tweeters were relieved that the show was brought to an end and saddened that reality television claimed the happiness of the one-time charming family:

1. 
   KristaLovesJB__ misses Jon and Kate Plus 8
2. 
   TheEmofreak333 Jon and Kate is soo last season…lol…shutup about them! Theyre annoying and stupid!!! theyre just parents nothing special about them!

12. 
    JoeFlez why does jon and kate plus 8 have to end?

TLC first announced filming had been suspended and a lawsuit against Jon in October, shortly after they retitled the show “Kate Plus 8.”

Jon Gosselin’s disapproval of his family’s show, “Jon and Kate plus 8” could come at a price. The Associated Press reports that TLC has filed a lawsuit against Gosselin for a breach of contract, claiming Gosselin has not remained an “exclusive employee,” by making paid appearances on other shows and revealing information about the show without permission.

The show has already been renamed “Kate plus 8” due to the Gosselin’s divorce.  It is unclear what effect this lawsuit could have on the show’s future.

The  Twitterverse has expressed little sympathy towards Jon Gosselin since the news of his lawsuit.

1. 
   seattlebh @Gregvalentine maybe jon gosselin and ‘balloon dad’ can have their own reality show together. ‘Dads of the year!’
2. 
   FakeRobHunter Jon Gosselin owes the Ballon Boy family a huge thank you. The media has a new focus, and he’s no longer the most hated father in America.
3.

According to reports from PEOPLE.com, production of TLC’s popular television show “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ has been temporarily suspended due to Jon Gosselin’s refusal to allow continuation of filming.

After it was announced earlier this week the show would be renamed “Kate Plus 8,” Jon made his own announcement: he was discontinuing his support of the show. Without Jon’s approval, TLC cannot continue to film his children for the show. It is unclear if and when filming will resume.

Tweets about the latest drama have been plentiful but showing mixed support:

1.

Jon Gosselin has split from the TLC  television show that made him– and his family– famous, reports The Hollywood Reporter.  When new episodes of “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ air in November, the show will be retitled as “Kate Plus 8.”

The show will now focus on Kate’s challenges raising her children as a single mother.  Though Jon will no longer be a regular on the series, he will make appearances on the show.

Fans continue to pick sides in the ongoing Jon and Kate feud:

1.

Following a media-frenzied month-long hiatus, TLC’s “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ returns tonight amid speculation about the show’s future.

Since announcing their plans to divorce last month, Jon and Kate Gosselin have faced quite a few life changes, all under the camera’s watchful eye.  Now audiences will have a chance to see those changes reflected in the show.

According to EW.com, the show has done away with interviewing Jon and Kate together on the couch, choosing instead to record confessional-style interviews in separate chairs.

Referencing Jon’s new bachelor life, TLC General Manager and President, Eileen O’Neill said, “As far as new people and places that may be cycling into Jon and Kate’s lives, we’re taking it on a case-by-case basis,” reports PEOPLE.com.

O’Neill also promised that the network “will continue to capture this family’s journey in a sincere and sensitive way.”

Twitterers expressed very mixed feelings about the show and its stars:

1. 
   zoe2822 omfg the New Jon and Kate plus 8 on 2nite!!! or should i say kate +8 with jon and skank! love it! cant wait!
2. 
   RachellehcaR Kind of ashamed I am really excited there is a new Jon and Kate plus 8 tonight. Not ashamed enough to not watch.
3. 
   Eloranne @Kaelaaaa You are right. Enough is enough. Some of us plan to boycott Jon and Kate Plus 8. The kids deserve their privacy.
4. 
   _Time_To_Go_ I really am so sick of hearing about Jon and Kate.Why do people watch their show.You might as well admit that you approve of child extortion
5. 
   ozinn CNN reports that Kate may win sympathy as “Jon and Kate” returns. WHY IS THIS CONSIDERED NEWS? If we don’t look, maybe they’ll go away…
6. 
   RhiBoy Nothing is sadder than ’staying together for the kids’…no wait. ‘Staying together for the tv show.’…ie. Jon and Kate Plus 8.
7. 
   amandarios Only 12 hours and 13 minutes until the Jon & Kate Plus 8 premier. Okay, okay, I’m not that lame to be counting down, but I am pumped.

Come back tomorrow for Twitterville’s reaction to tonight’s episode.
