So who should sit in his hot seat next? The Brits think Bill Gates should be the next celeb to sit down for a heart to heart. In a recent Web poll, 37% of voters elected Mister Microsoft to be Bashir's next "Bashee." Any day now, you can bet "Neverland Ranch" will pop up on Gates' caller ID, as Michael Jackson calls and says, "Don't do it!"
