The ladies of "The View" asked President Barack Obama a series of questions, even having the president weigh in on Mel Gibson and Lindsay Lohan.

In a sit-down interview with Obama that aired on "The View" this morning, July 29, Joy Behar asked the Commander-in-chief, "Does Mel Gibson need anger management?" Obama, seemingly taken aback by the question, jokingly responded, "Let me answer that Afghanistan question." He then added diplomatically, "I haven't seen a Mel Gibson movie in a while." Obama told the ladies that he had not heard the leaked audio tapes of the actor lashing out at his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

Behar also asked the president, "Do you know that Lindsay Lohan is in jail?" He answered, "I actually know that. ... It was in the ether out there."

Hollywood.tv caught up with Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend and mother to his child Oksana Grigorieva outside a Los Angeles, Calif. house where she angrily asked the paparazzi to go away.

Before even exiting her vehicle, Oksana asks the photographers, "Excuse me. Will you guys leave please?" One paparazzo continues to ask Oksana questions, to which she reacts, "I'll call the cops right now. Please leave right now ... I'm calling the cops young man. This is illegal."

Oksana, seemingly annoyed, yells to the man, "You're filming inside the private property, please leave right now!"

Lindsay Lohan's attorney says the jailed movie star is using her incarceration to do a lot of writing and she denied her client is receiving any special treatment. 

Lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley -- speaking Wednesday to Hollywood.tv after a visit to the jail -- said that while Lohan was tearful her first day, she is now handling the situation better. When asked whether her client still wears her hair extensions, Holley responds: "Her hair is in a bun -- she looks gorgeous."

The attorney said she is not sure when Lohan will be released, saying she was "still trying to figure that out." Holley acknowledged that Lohan would likely be sent straight to rehab after jail, but said she is trying to make arrangements for her to have some time with her family. 

"The Price is Right" host Drew Carey has a whole new look, dropping at least 80 pounds!

Debuting his slim frame at CBS' Television Critics Association Party on Wednesday night in LA, Drew almost didn't get into the bash. The game show host said, "They didn't recognize me coming in here. I went to park my car and they were like, 'Whoa, whoa, sir, sir.' I said, 'I'm with CBS on 'The Price is Right.' I kind of blew by him and parked downstairs. One guy came up to me and he goes, 'I'm really sorry about the confusion, you just don't look the same.'"

He shared a similar story about customs officers in South Africa. "I went to the World Cup and I was going through passport patrol and people were looking at my passport and doing a double take everywhere I went," he said.

Eric Christian Olsen got a phone call recently that made him jump for joy. After guest starring on "NCIS: Los Angeles," the hit CBS show decided to make him a series regular. He told ET at CBS' Television Critics Association Party on Wednesday night in LA what it is like on the explosive set.

"It's like shooting a 'Bond' film every week," he said of the guns, bombs, and action sequences. His character Marty Deeks is an undercover LAPD officer who is hired as a liaison for the NCIS unit.

The handsome star faced the macho LL Cool J in the fighting ring. "I was super excited, but also completely terrified. I weigh like 180 pounds and he weighs 245," he said of his on screen opponent. "We had this huge four minute fight scene, all choreographed. We didn't use doubles. It was just him and I. But he's so good and so athletic, that he's careful."
