And witness the utter lack of chemistry and/or interaction between Erica Hill (who I believe has the most symmetrically perfect face I have ever seen) and Gayle King; they are practically seated in different zip codes. It's quite a contrast when compared with the informal, warm, personable vibe given off by the FOX morning program. What Gayle needs to realize is that this is Stevie Nicks, not the president of Syria. She needs to save her "gotcha!" style of interrogation for someone who has actually served a legitimate public disservice. I suspect that her interview style would be drastically different if she was speaking with someone on the list of "Oprah-approved" performers, e.g., Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Cher, etc. Unfortunately Oprah really doesn't get Stevie and accordingly she gets treated with the same level of respect as the Octomom.

It would have been much better if Erica Hill did the interview. She was fantastic on CNN. I'm sure she's regretting the decision to leave AC360 now.
