Barbara Walters’ explosive revelation of an alleged affair 30 years ago with a married senator, Edward Brooke, the first African American member of the Senate (and yes, a Republican no less), has captivated people online as the biggest celebrity news story today, along with word of a second nanny Laura Boyce in the Rob Lowe matter, moreso than Carey’s marriage to Nick Cannon.

How ironic life is. Wouldn’t you think Mariah worth reportedly as much as $100 million eloping with a guy, reportedly with no prenuptial, a bigger story that America’s most favorite broadcaster admitting to sleeping in the with a married U.S. Senator?

Yeah, you’re right. The Senate story is more fascinating!

Can’t wait to read Walters’ book!
