President Barack Obama made history as the very first sitting U.S. President to personally appear on daytime television when he sat down and chatted with the ladies of ABC’s “The View” this week. The pre-recorded interview, which aired on TV Thursday (Jul 29) touched on topics including his administration’s accomplishments jobs, the economy, the oil spill in the Gulf and family life inside the White House.

President Obama’s visit to The View was so important that Barbara Walters, who had taken time off to recover form heart surgery, even re-appeared to speak with the POTUS on the hit daytime show. But this isn’t Barack’s first time sitting on The View’s couch though. He appeared on the program 2 years ago when he was running for president, and 4 years prior to that, he was a featured guest when promoting his book “Dreams from My Father: A Story Race and Inheritance.”

Our favorite outspoken talk show host Whoopi Goldberg caught everyone off guard Monday (Jul 19) on “The View” when she revealed that she was still “hazy” from partying the night before in Vienna, Austria.

Whoopi had a serious case of the giggles as she hosted Monday’s episode of ABC’s “The View” and said that it was because she was jet lagged and “drugged up” because she has a fear of flying and has to be put to sleep whenever she gets on an airplane.

Check out video footage of Whoopi’s hilarious antics on “The View” Monday below:

“I just got back from Vienna for amfAR, because you know today kicked off the International AIDS Conference, so people from all over the world were there and it was an insanely huge party and I just got back. I may have partied too much but I have to fly drugged so I’m still slightly drugged… I’m sure somewhere in me I’m still partying.”

First she’s defending Mel Gibson and now she’s spouting out random ish while hosting a live televison show. Something tells us this isn’t the first time she’s been “high” while hosting “The View.”

Drake just can’t catch a break in NYC…

The Young Money rapper was scheduled to perform a free concert next month in New York City as a part of ABC‘S “Good Morning America” summer concert series. However, the show, scheduled to take place on July 16th, was nixed and the cast of Broadway’s “American Idiot” will take the Canadian rapper’s spot.

An ABC spokesperson did confirm that a Drake show was in the works but plans were never made a official. The network’s rep told MTV News:

“We were interested in having Drake perform, but he was never officially booked.”

A representative for the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation also told MTV News:

“There was an open date on the calendar for July 16, but they decided to feature the cast of the Broadway show ‘American Idiot.’”

Early reports indicate that the NYPD shut the concert down after it was determined that the parks department couldn’t provide adequate security. But the parks dept. spokesperson didn’t confirm whether security issues were behind the cancellation of the Drake show.

If this all sounds familiar, it should, because just last month (Tues. Jun 15) another free Drake concert in New York City was canceled when 10,000+ fans unexpectedly showed up at Ne York South’s Street Seaport where the show was to be held.

So far, it’s looking like Drake and free concerts just don’t mix.

R&B singer Alicia Keys (and her growing baby bump) hit the stage at Rumsey Playfield Central Park in New York City this morning (Fri. Jun 25) for a performance on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Her set included songs from her latest album The Element of Freedom: “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart,” “Unthinkable (I’m Ready)” and “Empire State of Mind (Part II).”
