Here is the Beyonce The View video and Beyonce Today Show video. The music superstar visited with ABC The View cohosts on April 23, 2009, including guest cohost Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain, (filling in for Barbara Walters) and regulars, Whoopie Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Sheppard and Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

Beyonce also appeared on Today Show on April 23, 2009 in an interview with Matt Lauer and a performance of Halo. You can watch that video here as well.

These were just two of the recent television appearance blitz the ten-time Grammy winning music superstar has embarked upon in support of her forthcoming movie and the Beyonce world tour.

In the Beyonce The View video interview she talked about the movie, Obsessed, in which she stars as a woman whose husband (Idris Elba) has a flirtation with a coworker (Ali Larter) who subsequently develops a frightening obsession with the husband and with killing the wife. Obsessed opens in theaters in the U.S. on April 24, 2009.

She said that she wanted to be challenged by a nonsinging film role and that her portrayal of Etta James in Cadillac Records had prepared her for the appealing role of a strong woman who is int a victim in the movie.

Sherri Sheppard notes her work ethic, that although she makes it look easy, one does not become a superstar by accident.

She said, “I am very lazy” at home. She says she watches the View every morning when she is at home and can’t cook anything. She concluded that she is good for performing and relaxing.

She says she is “very behind” with social networking and has not yet been on Twitter although her sister Solange Knowles is an enthusiast. She had earlier alluded to having witnessed her sister give birth saying, “It was a little much. I don’t think a person should see all that.”

In the Beyonce The View video she confirmed that The I Am…Beyonce World Tour involves 71 costumes for the entire band and dancers; she herself has six costume changes. The highly anticipated tour is in support of her third studio album, I Am…Sasha Fierce.

Asked about the Justin Timberlake parody of Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) on Saturday Night Live, and the numerous parodies of her she expressed her satisfaction with it, saying she felt feel really proud that people can take partt and that she wants to do something that is relevant for the future.

In her Today Show Interview, with Matt Lauer she talked about the movie and the tour, as well as discussing her experience of performing at the Inaugural Ball where she performed the Etta James classic, At Last for the President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obamas’ first dance.

In the Beyonce Today Show video she also addressed the recent Howard Stern show hoax in which an altered remix was played and alleged to be the raw board mix from her prior Today Show appearance. Her father and manager, Matthew Knowles had spoken out publicly denouncing the stunt. She joked about it, saying ‘”It’s so amazing to me that someone in their home can just do a little prank and it can end up on this major radio station. People really were like, ‘How could you believe that? This is really over the top.”

A recent interview with Reuters sheds further light on the singer’s ambitions; she has her sights now on Broadway.

“It’s my ideal job…I’ll be able to go to the theater every day and drop my kids off and maybe make some food — maybe I’ll know how to cook by then — and then go do what I love and have some normalcy and have a regular schedule.”

“I definitely want to do Broadway.”
