President Obama came on The View today to talk hot topics, specifically gay marriage. The ladies on the show made for supportive hosts, as even the most conservative of the bunch, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, has voiced support for equal marriage rights in the past. Even so, Elisabeth challenged the president to explain how his position of letting the states define marriage differs from Mitt Romney's. She said, "at this point, you both said leave it to the states to decide." Obama was ready to respond, saying, "Elisabeth, that's actually not true," pointing out that Mitt Romney favors a federal constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between a man and a woman. Obama also promised that gay marriage would provide a big contrast between him and his GOP rival. Watch the clip, and tell us if you think Obama's smart to make gay marriage a campaign issue.

The Bachelorette was back last night, and while the franchise is always trying to top itself in crazy, this season has a more mellow tone. Taking cues from the overly polite Southern belle star, single mom, and Bachelor vet Emily Maynard, the show has moved to her hometown of Charlotte, NC, and brought on some men who seem like they'll try a little harder to look like nice guys. Of course, there were cheesy gimmicks; I still can't figure out why one guy brought an ostrich egg. But at least one bachelor, Doug, won some sweet points and the first impression rose by bringing a letter from his 12-year-old son.

In all we met one pretty-mild villain, a luxury brand consultant who came in on a helicopter and said he's changing his personality to be "down to earth." Seemed pretty tame compared to "winning" Courtney from Ben's season or evil Bentley from Ashley's. Emily even got rid of a singer/songwriter who could have provided the looking-for-fame story line, and the upcoming scenes from this season of The Bachelorette weren't as dramatic as they usually are. Since Emily is the first mom to hand out the roses, I'm thinking producers vetted this batch of guys for more than making good TV. Do you think I'm right, or do you expect more unstable, yet entertaining antics to come? Watch Emily tear up while reading the letter from Doug's son and tell me what you think.

Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James came on The View today to talk with the women about her hit erotic series.

Sherri said reading Fifty Shades of Grey made her think, "I might want to try some of this stuff with my husband." Watch Whoopi, Joy, Sherri, and E.L. James have an honest and pretty entertaining chat about the book's impact.

In a candid interview, the woman at the center of the Secret Service Colombian prostitution scandal spoke out this morning on the Today show. Dania Londono Suarez is 24 and a mother, and in her version of the events she calls the agents stupid brutes who put extreme partying ahead of President Obama's security. In this clip, she talks about how the agents loved to show off their ripped bodies, often lifting their shirts to display their abs. "They were full of themselves," she explained. Dania also claims that she made it clear that a night with her would cost $800, but that an agent only gave her $50. Get her full story in the video now.

The two seemed to have a lot in common, including being happily content not to walk down the aisle.

"Not for me," Alison said with a laugh. Let's add Alison to the list of famous women who have alternative views of happily ever after — we know Chelsea's on that list, too.
