Anna Sale here on the day shift.
A lot of you have told us what you would say to BP CEO Tony Hayward if you were alone with him. We've been watching his testimony on Capitol Hill today to see what members of Congress do with their opportunity. While the spotlight is on Washington, we're also continuing to reach out to people along the Gulf Coast. As the scale of this disaster sinks in, the sense of helplessness and anxiety is growing with it. We're looking at what assistance is available for residents' emotional health as they look toward this new, uncertain future.
We'll also look at the politics and science of a new drug to increase women's sexual desires. Ever since Viagra hit the market, there have been attempts to develop a companion for women. Tomorrow, the FDA will meet with a German drug giant on a new pill that they say could be the cure for "female sexual dysfunction." We'll look at the history behind this meeting and the debate it's sparked about the definition of a normal and healthy sex life for women.
And, we'll put a little pep in your step to kick off the weekend. We begin our new summer music series tomorrow. We've asked an eclectic bunch of celebrities, fans, and friends to join us and break down what makes a GREAT summer song. You'll hear from Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen, who got his start in entertainment as the drummer for a band called Trenchmouth. Pat Benatar will tell us why lounge singer Louis Prima means summer to her. Tomorrow, MTV VJ Sway gives us his picks.
