Gibson Scores Palin Interview, Stars Weigh in on VP Pick

We're tracking America's newest celebrity and the biggest story on the web! Sarah Palin will sit down with Charles Gibson for her first national TV interview since becoming John McCain’s running mate, according to ABC.

 

The venerable ABC News anchor snagged the interview, while many thought Oprah Winfrey would be the obvious choice after the White House hopeful revealed her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

However, despite reports to the contrary, "The Insider" broke news on Friday that Oprah would not be covering the political beat during the election.

"There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show," she told us. "At the beginning of this presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over."
