Well, Bab’s back – sporting the cutest red suit (Elisabeth stated that the red suit indicates Bab’s support of the Republicans). Babs discussed her absence – working on ABC Special ‘Behind the Scenes’ look at the Royal family. Unfortunately, the conversation bored me tears. Alittle life was pumped into the conversation when it turned to the French President Sarkozy plans to marry former model/present singer Bruni. The French aren’t too supportive of their president’s private life becoming public. Private life should be private. Then, the question became: What if John Edwards dated Lindsey Lohan? Elisabeth wants to know who her president is seeing because that’s the person who is whispering in his ear late at night. Whoopi don’t care who the president is dating. People love who they love. Sherri sided with Elisabeth – who the president chooses as a mate is a clue to their true character. But what if the president is horrible at choosing a mate but great running the country?
Then, the ladies attacked the whole Britney Spears Vs. Dr. Phil fiasco. Now, Britney’s parents (who contacted Dr. Phil to visit their daughter while she was hospitalized) said Dr. Phil’s media interviews this week were ‘just in appropriate.’ A family spokesperson explained that "the family basically extended an invitation of trust for him to come in as a resource to support them, not to go out and make public statements.” Elisabeth could not understand why the Spears where surprised at Dr. Phil’s comments to the media. After all, he is a media personality. Joy is convinced, if the Spears really want to help their daughter – they would take Britney out the county and get her the needed help. Whoopi couldn’t understand why the parents called on Dr. Phil if they really wanted to help her. It’s like taking Britney to Judge Judy – they’re all media personalities. But Sherri reminded everyone – “Dr. Phil cures everyone in 28 minutes.”
Pregnant students in a Denver high school are asking for at least four weeks of maternity leave so they can heal, bond with their newborns and not be penalized with unexcused absences. Elisabeth agrees with the soon-to-be moms request but took it a step further – the girls should sign a contract that they will return to school. After returning from maternity leave, Elisabeth explained that the 6 weeks leave were the hardest ever but much needed. As most of the ladies agreed with the four weeks maternity leave but the conversation turned to ways of preventing teen pregnancies. Whoopi re-iterated her point from weeks ago of giving kids condoms. This is the best way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Elisabeth – a proponent of abstinence quickly denounced giving kids condoms because it would be huge endorsement for them to have sex. According to Elisabeth – condoms promote sexual activity among kids. Whoopi chimed in – that we (the public) need to realize that kids are having sex anyway. Sherri remained everyone that she is practicing celibacy and it’s a hard row to tow! She can’t imagine teens, with raging hormones, being strong enough to stick to abstinence.
Lastly, the hot topics touched on superstition. Jessica Simpson has become Public Enemy No. 1 among Dallas Cowboys fans because of a link being made between her appearance at Sunday's game and the poor performance of her new boyfriend, quarterback Tony Romo. Superstition or not? Whoopi revealed that she is very superstitious. She doe not tear photographs – fear that it would kill the person in the picture.
