LaToya Jackson To Host “The View” and Talk to Walters

LaToya Jackson is suddenly a very busy woman.  While she had mostly dropped from the spotlight in recent years, she’s been making the rounds since her brother, Michael Jackson, died suddenly this past June.

It’s been announced that she will be filling in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who is currently on maternity leave, on September 16 and September 18, 2009. 

This will be the second time that LaToya has co-hosted The View with the first time being on March 14, 2003.

LaToya will also be sitting down with Barbara Walters for her first one-on-one interview since Michael’s death.  While she hasn’t given a formal interview, she has made it publicly known that she believes her brother was murdered in some sort of major conspiracy.

She plans to elaborate on her theories when she talks to Walters on 20/20.  The episode will air sometime next month.
