Barbara Walters and ABC News have announced a partial list of the stars who made the journalist’s 10 Most Fascinating People of 2010 list, which is airing 12/9/10, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

It was obvious that Sarah Palin, Justin Bieber and Betty White would be included, but who could have predicted Snookie, The Situation and the rest of the Jersey Shore gang would be chatting it up with Walters?

Walter’s annual ABC News special highlights some of the year’s most prominent people in entertainment, sports, politics and pop-culture.

Walters will also be interviewing Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez for the hour-long special.
