My MBP's CPU is running at 70 degrees, it's very hot, too hot to sit on lap, this is just from web browsing, is this normal?
 
It's fairly normal yes. I would suggest that you do a google for SMC fancontrol and download/install that. I have mine set to 3675 RPM and for most tasks my temp hovers around 50C.

Not to shabby but not hot enough to fry future babies if I had the laptop on my lap. :)
