The View “Hot Topics” – February 9, 2009

The ladies on The View opened the “Hot Topics” discussion this morning by talking about last night’s 51st Grammy Awards.  I have to say that Barbara Walters went over the top loving up the Jonas Brothers while Whoopi Goldberg said she was surprised that she liked the performance by teen sensations, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. 

They also talked about the fact that MIA performed “Swagger Like Us” live alongside Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I. and Lil Wayne despite the fact that yesterday, she was due to give birth (she could have gone into labour on-stage!!!). 

Of course, you can’t have a Monday morning discussion without including something about Nadya Suleman, the woman who gave birth to octuplets following in-vitro fertilization (despite the fact that she already has six kids at home!). 

They also talked about celebrities who have had to apologize recently for their recent behavior (Michael Phelps for his drug use and Christian Bale for his movie set rant) and whether stars should have to say sorry for their mistakes.  I was surprised when they didn’t bring up Chris Brown and Rihanna’s weekend nightmare.  In case you haven’t heard, Chris has been arrested for felony battery after allegedly assaulting Rihanna.
