Jumps from the children questions to her "erotic voice" to is she a lesbian.
What a dipshit interview...she has interviewed the most fascinating people on the planet and all they want to ask about is Gene Simmons and open legs and children and if she fucks men.

(110,159 posts)5. i didnt notice condensed. but, if that is so, it could explain better. it was the blatant in your

otherwise, what a ridiculously horrid interviewing style.
