Barbara Walters' memoir debuts at No. 1

Barbara Walters' memoir, Audition, has debuted at No. 1.

The book, which hit stores on May 6, has already sold 250,000 copies with one million already in print.

Audition will officially debut Thursday as the No. 1 book in the country on USA Today's bestseller list.

In the book, Walters, 78, claims that her former 'The View' co-host Star Jones forced her to lie about her gastric bypass surgery on the show. She also confesses to having an affair with Edward Brooke, then a married United States Senator, in the '70s.

Star Jones recently commented on Walters' book, saying: "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character."
