The View “Hot Topics” – February 2, 2009

Jeanne — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:26:06 +0000

The ladies on The View kicked off the discussion today by talking about yesterday’s Super Bowl (Barbara Walters said it looked like a game straight out of a movie and Joy Behar said she gained five pounds yesterday – I probably did too!). Of course, Whoopi Goldberg talked about the Super Bowl commercials (I laughed all over again!).

They did also discuss the whole Michael Phelps scandal right now. News of the World published an image of Phelps smoking a bong full of marijuana. They debated whether he should be held accountability for engaging in illegal activity. What do you think?

In the second segment, they talked about how late-night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, poked fun at Rod Blagojevich’s visit to The View last week. Things got a little uglier when the discussion turned to Rush Limbaugh (he said that he hopes President Barack Obama fails). Naturally, this topic pitted Elisabeth Hasselbeck against, well, everyone as usual.

Watch the third, fourth and fifth segment after the jump!

Etheridge Accuses Hasselbeck of Misleading People About Gay Marriage

Singer, Melissa Etheridge, was on The View yesterday where she talked about how sad she was to see the right to marry taken away from gay and lesbian couples at last month’s presidential election. Melissa commended moderator, Whoopi Goldberg, for her words on the subject but she told Elisabeth Hasselbeck that she was disappointed in the things she had to say and even accused Elisabeth of being misleading.

Melissa continued to defend her family’s right to be protected by marriage and she pressed Elisabeth on the topic but was ultimately interrupted since time ran out and Sherri Shepherd reminded Melissa that she was on the show to talk about her new CD. Wow… I wish that conversation could have continued!

Hot Topics on The View - December 10, 2008

Jeanne — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:12:44 +0000

Yesterday’s episode of The View was completely devoted to "Hot Topics" which kicked off with a discussion about the Senate seat scandal surrounding Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (president-elect Barack Obama is appalled).

They also talked about the new 90 minute variety show hosted by Jay Leno which will air right before Conan O’Brien, who will be taking over Jay’s old late-night talk show.

The women also explored what’s been happening on primetime television with so many shows being cancelled, which appears to be related to the current recession.

They also talked about the 70-year-old woman in India who decided to have a baby to celebrate the woman’s momentous birthday. Whoopi’s reaction? "What the hell?!" (actually, they said "what the hell?" about pretty much everything today which was funny).

Whoopi also brought up the CosmoGirl magazine survey 22% of girls have emailed or posted nude or semi-nude photos of themselves online, 1-in-5 boys have done this as well. WOW.

The women were joking around about a paparazzi photo that seemed to show ABC soap star, Cameron Mathison, wearing a thong. Cameron burst onto the stage and provided a very logical explanation for the photo.
