Hi all,

This morning Stevie was interviewed by Kim Hill on Radio New Zealand; you can hear the interview here. Enjoy!

This is the excerpt from the website:

Interesting, thanks.

Stevie HATES the Atkins diet at this point. She also says she gained some weight from a steroid she took to deswell her vocal cords. She says she lost 20 pounds last year -- she is now on Weight Watchers.

She just goes from one diet to another, just like so many Americans. It's kind of sad when you see that because you know people will continually find themselves disappointed in every new thing they try.

This interviewer lady is my new favorite person of all time... she's so funny!

"Well, he made some very nasty cracks about the CHIFFon business."

I wish I had an accent

Interesting ..but I found the interviewer dwelled to much on things from long ago and not enough on the here and now...I mean ..come on...she has been off drugs for how long now?? .I don't think enough thought was put into the interview...IMHO..
Would of been nice to hear about what Stevie has been up in say the last few years and what the future is going to bring us??

Yeah, it was mostly about the past, but what I did notice about the interview was that it was much more candid than most of the interviews done over here in the US. It seems like most interviewers over here don't want to or are afraid to ask her about the drugs and stuff. I liked Stevie's open responses as well. It was the first interview that I've heard where she discussed the incident where Lindsey kicked her on stage.

This was a fun interview. Very interesting.

OMG the yo yo dieting. Weight Watchers ? Please. Diets are band aids and I am stunned she doesn't have a doctor who will tell her this. Stop eating crap and exercise like mad. End of story.

Lost 20 pounds ? Between when and when ? I can't even tell anymore.

Thank you. My, I love her talking about Lindsey "we just did a tour together, and we fought every day. We recorded an album together, and we fought every day"

And I sooo knew he snarked out because she was getting so much attention. Baby.

Believe me, WW's is a great way to lose weight in a healthy way. You count points and keep within certain points for your current weight. As you lose weight, you lower points as your weight goes down. When you are an older woman like a few of us on this board and Stevie, we need to focus and be healthy. If you can't do it on your own, then a place like WW's does work. My hubby does Atkins. To me, it isn't that healthy. He rarely eats healthy fruits or vegetables. Just eats too many eggs, bacon, steaks, a few boring salads. To me, this isn't a healthy way to eat. Some people need and like to eat a variety of foods and Stevie is probably one of those people that wants to splurge on a special treat like a piece of pie or cake once or twice a week and she can as long as she can keep under her points/calories limit for the day. Once women reach a certain age, it is very, very difficult for us to remain slim liike we did in our teen/twenties. Some women need help and if WW helps Stevie, then more power to her. What matters is she is healthy looking and happy. Anyway, women are always changing their minds. Stevie is no exception

Men lose weight much more easier than women too.

They always do a "pre-interview" where the person being
interviewed tells them what they want to talk about, and what they
won't talk about. Always.
Contracts and everything, I believe. I'm not sure but I
think maybe Stevie is working the drugs/past thing so heavily
because she's trying to "solidify" her role as the "Queen of Rock" -
wise not-so-old grandmother, etc. World-wide, now, not just the U.S.A.
And if she can save some lives in Australia doing it, or at least help
someone out somehow, what the hell - that whole thing.

I caught that too. I remember she called Dr. Atkins a "God among men" at one point. Now she's bowing to the people who created weight watchers. Well, as long as she stays healthy. I just wonder how many of her fans who started Atkins are going to convert to weight watchers now also.

I guess the Atkins people were late with the check. . . .
