"Veteran ABC news anchor Barbara Walters announced on The View today that she&amp;#x27;s retiring next summer. We&amp;#x27;ll miss her, and the news just won&amp;#x27;t be the same without Barbara. After all, she&amp;#x27;s been in the business 50+ years. But this isn&amp;#x27;t the first time we&amp;#x27;ve heard rumors that she was retiring&amp;amp;#8212;though it is the first time the rumors are true&amp;amp;#8212;and I couldn&amp;#x27;t help but think of another icon who has been &amp;quot;retiring&amp;quot; (yet still at the top of his game) for a while now: Jay-Z. They&amp;#x27;re both able to say (or rap) even the most ridiculous line with gravitas: They can rock that suit-and-tie &amp;quot;sh-t&amp;quot;: They hang with the coolest people: Source: blog.zap2it.com via Zap2it on Pinterest And are besties with presidents, nbd: Source: Uploaded by user via Joe on Pinterest Source: richvillains.com via cc101studio on Pinterest And, finally, when you&amp;#x27;ve had both SNL AND 30 Rock talk about you, you know you&amp;#x27;ve made it: Beyonc&amp;amp;eacute;, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy Parody @ SNL by javierlobe All jokes aside, we really will miss you, Barbara. You&amp;#x27;re an icon. Photos: Alamy, ABC, Pinterest, Tumblr"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
