RADIO WA-WA Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters spoke candidly on her Monday night SIRIUS call-in show, Barbara Live!, about her jailhouse convo with Paris Hilton, The View sans Rosie, and whether or not she sees an African American host in the show's future. The short answers? Walters wants Paris to join The View, the show will go on (happily) without Ro, and yes, more black people should join the gab fest.

The detailed answers are after the jump, including revelations about the studious, sensitive, and newly mature Hilton heiress. Paris to Babs: "'I used to act dumb, it was an act, but I'm 26 years old and that act is no longer cute." We knew Wawa still had her legendary big story chops.
