Another day, another set of hot topics, new gossip, new laughs, new debates, new reasons I love to watch the View for my morning Happy Hour. As you all know, Happy Hour Mom was created to encourage women to take that “happy hour” to themselves each day. Whether you work 8-5 in an office, stay at home with your kiddos, work from home, or do a little bit of everything, you need to MAKE time for YOU. Happy Hour is time that you spend doing the things you love. Whether it’s reading a book in silence, exercising, getting your nails done, meeting your girlfriends for coffee/drinks, or watching your favorite movie/TV show. My Happy Hour varies each day, depending on my schedule, and often turns into a “happy 30 minutes.” I wake up in the morning, have my cup of coffee (if I don’t, watch out!), get the girls fed, get the 5 year old off to school, and get my first round of emails and calls done–Just in time for coffee number two and my Happy Hour with The View. I call it my morning break. Evenings are insanely hectic and I rarely catch the evening news, so The View has become my way of catching up on the latest Hot Topics, stories in the news, gossip, TV series recaps, and guest appearances. Not to mention I love the segments on the latest fashion, hottest accessories, tasty recipes, and the newest products–it’s like a blogger’s secret sauce. You can’t stay ahead of the game, if you don’t know the latest beauty secrets and hottest tips!
Today the ladies on The View covered the latest on the Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, scandal had her caught on tape offering access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew, what?! Girlfriend, you are in deep poo poo for that one! Watch the video {here}. The View panel agreed that she obviously needed the money, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck pointed out that there are a lot of people who “need” the money, and that doesn’t excuse something like this. What was interesting, was that Whoopi mentioned the Duchess had been served many alcoholic drinks leading up to this proposal, so it seems as thought it might have been a bit of a set up. Poor thing, she sure has some explaining to do!! What do you think? Is there any way she can get out of this one now? Check out what some of the other viewers thought on the view message boards, one of the comments is quite funny in response to, “Did the ladies on the View give Sarah Ferguson a pass for her bad behavior?”
They also touched briefly on the Jesse James scandal. I really don’t know what to say about him, except that I am highly disappointed. I was actually starting to like the guy and it just makes me feel dirty to think that I fell into the trap. I have always loved Sandra Bullock, and after they got married I started paying more attention to Jesse James, only to start liking him a bit more after watching him on Celebrity Apprentice. I appreciated the fact that he seemed so “real”–yea a real a** wipe. I know that’s a bit harsh, but seriously. After watching Sandra Bullock accept her award and give such a heartfelt speech, thanking her dirtbag husband, and then finding out what he had done, I just lost ALL respect for the man. Not to mention the borderline racist behavior. That could be a topic I dwell on for pages, but I don’t even wanted to go there. You can get the dirt on Jesse’s collection of Nazi memorabilia and racist gestures by watching The View full episode {here} (5/25). As you can imagine, Joy Behr had quite a bit to say about that! You can see what other viewers have to say about Jesse James {here}. barf.
On a serious note, they touched on the HUGE Oil Spill debacle. When Elisabeth mentioned Kevin Costner’s possible solution to the problem, Sherri Shepherd pointed out that we should wait to see if it works. And yes, she is absolutely right, let’s not get too excited before we see the results, but at this point let’s take what we can get! Now, who know what this “Ocean Therapy” can really do, but I for one am keeping my fingers crossed. Apparently, following the Oil Spill in 1989, Kevin Costner was inspired to help fund the research and creation of an Ocean Therapy machine that spins the water, separates the oil, and spits out the water that is clean. You can learn more about the Ocean Therapy machine {here}, or check out the video below. Man, The View ladies were really fired up about this today, and with much reason. This is a discussion that needs to be had until something is done.
P.S. I LOVED the earrings today! Joy and Elizabeth were sporting the super sexy blingalicious earrings, and Sherri had some super hot gold chandelier, something-or-others on. I couldn’t stop looking at their earrings! And Whoopi’s were gorgeous–oh wait, Whoopi didn’t have any on. And I have to start this off by saying that we are fans of Whoopi in our house (yes in more ways than one. he he.) but my husband saw the opening segment and had to ask, “Is Whoopi wearing a Snuggie?” Sorry Whoopi, we love you!
P.P.S. Check out The View ladies on Twitter and Facebook!
Whoopi on Twitter–Yeah right, apparently Whoopi HATES Twitter!! And no she does not have a Twitter account, that was a poser : )
