EXCLUSIVE: Nadya Suleman (a.k.a. “Octomom”) is confirmed to make her first-ever guest appearance on the show, live, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 24 (11:00 a.m.-12:00 noon, ET). In an exclusive quote to ABC, Ms. Suleman, who has never visited the Big Apple, said: “I am elated. I am honored. I love ‘The View’ and can’t wait to meet everyone, my heroes. I can’t wait to see New York.” Ms. Suleman, who is a single mother, has been the subject of frequent “Hot Topics” discussions on “The View” since she gained international attention in 2009 for birthing octuplets, the second full set of octuplets to be born in the United States. A media storm erupted and she found herself facing negative backlash from the public, vandalism and even death threats when it was discovered that Ms. Suleman already had six other children, was unemployed and on public assistance. She conceived all her children via in vitro fertilization. The octuplets celebrated their first birthday in January.
The colorful and controversial cast of MTV’s reality show, “Jersey Shore,” make their (much anticipated) first-ever appearance on “The View,” live, TUESDAY, FEB. 23 to promote the same-day release of “Jersey Shore: Season 1” on DVD. As the popularity of “Jersey Shore” continued to rise, so did the controversy. Whether it’s a debate over stereotyping, scrutiny from local residents or the safety of self-tanning, there is no denying that “Jersey Shore” catapulted eight housemates to instant stardom. Their outlandish behavior has been a frequent “Hot Topics” discussion among “The View” hosts (http://theview.abc.go.com/videos/Jersey_Shore). The seven cast members of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” scheduled to appear are Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and Paul “DJ Pauly D” Del Vecchio.
