Jen Selter has managed to ride her workout regimen, fabulous booty, and social media acumen to a shocking amount of celebrity.

She has appeared on countless television shows, been the subject of dozens of magazine articles, and even had a fitness column in The New York Post.

Her most important success, however, may be that she taught elderly newswoman Barbara Walters the concept of the "butt selfie."

This happened on an episode of "The View," where the booty star put Walters through a squat-based workout and testified that her famed backside was "all real." She also said she was impressed that the then 84-year-old co-host did the whole workout.

"She was wearing a dress, so I couldn't really see her butt but I was impressed that she got up and was actually doing the exercises," she told The New York Post.

Where Walters drew the line, however, was taking a "butt selfie," or a "belfie," which Selter does quite regularly (though the "self" part of "selfie" may be debatable.)
