It’s that time again, time to see who exactly makes the list of Barbara Walters Most Fascinating People of 2011! Any guesses?

Every year I hope I’ll somehow end up on this list. (I can dream, right?) Barbara Walters has announced a preview of those lucky people who’ve made it on the Most Fascinating People of 2011.

First let’s start with the bad. The Kardashians are on the list. I guess they do fit the description of fascinating as we all can’t seem to get enough of them regardless of how annoyed we are by them.

In addition to the Kardashians, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family make their debute on the list, plus Simon Cowell,Derek Jeter from the New York Yankees, Donald Trump, Pippa Middleton, and[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Katy Perry [/lastfm]gets on as well!

Seems like a pretty well-rounded group of people for the list this year, but who is missing? Someone is, because the MOST fascinating person of the year has not yet been revealed. I’d say it’s got to be someone political? I don’t know? What do you think?

We will find out when Barbar Walters Most Fascinating People of 2011 airs on December 14th.
