Stevie to be on ET this evening

[Lisa44]

Just saw this on etonline.com

More cd promotion and she talks about Britney and Anna Nicole. Should be pretty interesting.

[diamondsnake]

I can't wait to see what she says about Britney! "I may have twirled right off the stage when I was her age, but I never shaved my head!"

[danax6]

STEVIE NICKS gets candid in a new revealling interview with ET, going on the record about what it was like to be under the influence of Klonopin, the same powerful tranquilizer -- along with nine other drugs -- that were found in ANNA NICOLE SMITH's autopsy report.

The singer was shocked to learn the drug connection between herself and the late Playboy Playmate, but in retrospect, she says the effects were apparent.

"I can bring to mind visions of Anna Nicole and think, well there you go," she says. "It's called a tranquilizer for a reason. When you take enough Klonopin you really don't care about anything."

For Stevie, getting off the drug became a matter of life and death.

"If I hadn't gone into the hospital when I did, I would absolutely be dead now," she says.

During FLEETWOOD MAC's performance at BILL CLINTON's 1993 inaugural bash, the singer admits she was on the drug.

Several months later, Stevie checked herself into rehab.

"That wasn't like the 28 day thing," she recalls. "That was 47 long days. I was in a lot of pain. I thought I was totally going to die."

Of course, Klonopin isn't the only drug she took. She had such an addiction to cocaine it burned a hole in her nose. She got treatment for that at the BETTY FORD center.

Now clean and in control, the 58-year-old proves her music can still mesmerize. Her new album and DVD, Crystal Visions: The Very Best of Stevie Nicks, is in stores today. The set features never before seen footage, as well as old favorites.

Living proof that you can come back, Stevie has some advice for another music superstar: BRITNEY SPEARS.

"She has children, so she's got to fix her life," Stevie says. "She doesn't have the luxury of being a crazy rock star because she has kids. When you make the decision to have children, your luxury is over. There's a certain part of you that has to settle down."

But she points out that Britney has time on her side.

"She's just a baby," Stevie says. "I hope she can come out of this."

[ELIUD]

Oh Strand. Give up on that sad little wish for a splash of color. Black is the new black for our Stevie.

I know - but I was thinking this was impromptu (sort of) and she might at least have gone to purple by now :cool:

I mean - does she not have ONE FUKCING QUEEN working for her :eek:

[ELIUD]

No way. It's black forever with the occassional splash of cream or red. Even her new GDW shawl looks more beige than gold.

Le Sigh - I know -- and I remember thinking in that Vegas shot in the CBS interview that she looked rather matronly in the new one :nod:

She needs to have me over for marg.'s and I am sure her concurrent make over will impress many!

[ELIUD]

I agree. She needs to go back to Rock Star 101 and take better notes.


Now I must run off to go get CV because I can't wait to see if mine comes in the mail today and I must watch it tonight.

Preach it, Strandie. :wavey:

[gldstwmn]

I love the lamp that's in the left background.

[WildHeart69]

if this winds up on YouTube could someone please post? thanks in advance!!

3 hours and 52 mins until LB!

[priestofnothing]

Rock on Beige Dust Woman! :lol:

[ragandbone]

Rock on Beige Dust Woman! :lol:
:laugh: Beige, it's the new Taupe!

I am excited about another interview though, even if the outfit will be the same old.

[Macfanforever]

Edit. Thank goodness for no basketball tonight, ET always get premepted and you have to wait to the wee hours to tape it, if the show is on.

"She (Britney Spears) doesnt have the luxury of being a crazy rock star" - Stevie Nicks

^^^^
Man, she looked serious when she said that :lol:


BOO - YAH!!!!

ZING!!!!

[danax6]

This is probably a stupid question, but you taped it right? :lol:

[estranged4life]

This is probably a stupid question, but you taped it right? :lol:

and of course my DVD burner is in progress :thumbsup:

'The witch' seems VERY serious when talking about tranquilizers.

[estranged4life]

Very short but average segment - She looked damned good to me. Showed some Bella Donna in studio footage & clips from the "Everyday" video.

The "Pack up the tranquilizers we're going to Washington DC" line was classic!

[strandinthewind]

. . . The "Pack up the tranquilizers we're going to Washington DC" line was classic!

I know. I was laughing loudly at that one :laugh:

[danax6]

and of course my DVD burner is in progress :thumbsup:
Can't wait. :thumbsup:

[GODDESS6]

loved what she said about the tranquilizers & DC, also her warning to britney:lol: ~

Thanks for that... Most of this wasn't on the tv broadcast... Thanks!

[strandinthewind]

I know - I saw that.

She still, IMO, looked great in the SA snippet.

[danax6]

Damn, those are only snippets, I thought we were going to get an entire interview. Ah well, thanks for posting anyway, I still loved it.

Dang- It's not working for me. Any way to re-post the link or tell me where to go?

~jamie

[strandinthewind]

I have no clue. Maybe someone can up load it.

If they do, it would be nice gesture to post it here and in the ET interview thread I started on the 7W board as I got it from there :cool:

[BTFLCHLD]

that was cool. "pack up your tranquilizers we're going to DC!"

[Livia]

Now that it's aired, they've got it up - try that link.

[jkmaletic]

Thanks- that worked. I shoulda thought to just check ET Online. Duh.

God, RealPlayer blows!

[petep9000]

Very good, though the ET site seems to only be snippets. She looked beautiful, and you know what? The quick shot of SA era Stevie wasn't exactly awful, I'm pretty sure I saw her look worse in some OSOTM press.

But there she goes again on her Klonopin spiel. This drug, when given judiciously, can be extraordinarily helpful to people suffering from anxiety. The truth of the matter is, Stevie (as much as I love her) abused the drug. And her physician (or physicians, she might have been Dr. shopping) enabled this by giving her more. In 1989 or whenever she started Klonopin, the entire medical establishment was well aware of the addictive properties of benzodiazopenes. It should not have been a suprise to anyone that a person with known problems with cocaine and alchohol would simply substitute these addictions with another.

[BombaySapphire3]

I was at work watching in a room full of psychiatric patients and they seemed raptly attentive when she was on .When she said 'I don't know why these doctors would put anyone on Klonopin' one of them yelled out "because they're stupid!" (some of them are on it)

[HejiraNYC]

Wasn't she off of Klonopin by the time Street Angel came out? I agree that she looked a little bloated in that quick Street Angel-era shot, but all things considered, she looked flawless, albeit very, very sad. :distress: :shrug: I suspect that there is no existing video/photo footage of Stevie when she really hit rock bottom in 1993. I could picture a silver-haired, unkempt, obese chainsmoking Stevie wearing big dark sunglasses and a paisley mumu, and being wheeled into Betty Ford like Elizabeth Taylor... I know that if I had seen pictures like that in the tabloids I would have freaked. Considering how horrible all of that must have been, I am surprised how Stevie can kind of laugh it off these days. Yes, the "pack up the tranquilizers; we're going to Washington, D.C." line was the funniest thing I've ever heard!! :lol:

[strandinthewind]

I think they showed the SA pic to demonstrate the weight gain.

Interestingly, I think she was that heavy on some of the SYW tour.

Ah, but there is. I don't have the pic, but I've seen it and it's fairly well-known so maybe another Ledgie can help me out. The pic I'm talking about has to be around 1993 or so, she was snapped going to a premiere (I think) or maybe an awards event. Anyway, she had SA hair, all crimped. But her silver roots were about 2 inches deep and were clearly visible. She was wearing a blue velvet sack-dress, and she just looked so tired and so haggard.

[Livia]

^^ I've got those pics at home. I'll post 'em later unless someone else does first...

Also, in that SA pic - when she said that the light had gone out of her eyes- I could totally see that.

She just looked awful, as if she had completely stopped caring. In the SA snippet on the ET interview, I thought she looked pretty, but she looked so sad and depressed.

that you described, and I agree she looked rather bad.

I think she looks rather out of it in this picture:

I know exactly which photo you are describing. I was under the impression that was taken in late 1994 or 1995. Also, I thought she didn't start crimping up her hair until the SA tour. For the Bill Clinton inauguration and the SA photo sessions her hair was straight. :shrug:

[petep9000]

Oh I agree, I wasn't digging the two-toned hair she was sporting for a short while during the RAL era. Those 'bathroom' pics are pretty hideous, her face looks like a skull. This pic is probably a good indication of what depths she fell to during her coke addictions worst years.

You might be right, I"m actually none too sure about the year for the blue velvet muumuu pic. 1994 might be about right.

[danax6]

She just looked awful, as if she had completely stopped caring. In the SA snippet on the ET interview, I thought she looked pretty, but she looked so sad and depressed.I had to pause that bit for a minute the first time I saw it. I just wanted to crawl through the screen and hug her. Very sad.

I believe this is the picture you were referring to:

http://www.buckinghamnicks.net/sn/images/SNicksJan1995.jpg

Not her best look no, but how fukcing great did she look a year later at the Twister premiere? :)

[MacMan]

She definately looks like the "lady from the mountain" in THAT one.

Yes, that's one of them. The other pic I saw from the same event though, had a better view of her hair. You could clearly see the silver roots when you looked at where her hair was parted. Very sad, indeed. But lucky for us, she did bounce back.

I LOVE that dress/coat/gown

As for looking bad, she is fat, but considering it is a candid take, she looks okay.

[petep9000]

Yes, that's the pic I remember. With the hair-part and the silver/gray roots showing. Oh, Stevie. Well, better times were not too long in the future for her.

[strandinthewind]

The hair is okay - the style is awfulk though :shrug:

Certainly, she improved though.

[danax6]

The hair is okay
It's GREY.

[strandinthewind]

her roots look dark to me :shrug: The rest of it looks blonde.

[estranged4life]

Talk about putting yer finger in the light socket...Sheesh.

Looks like she beat up Waddy and stole his hair.

Or she dyed that Chia-pet blonde and wore it...

Not to nitpick but Stevie went to Betty Ford to kick Coke. I think she said she went to a place called Exodus in L.A. to get off Klonopin.

I believe she was 'sent' to Betty Ford, and 'went' to the other place.

[strandinthewind]

I believe she was 'sent' to Betty Ford, and 'went' to the other place.

There is a big interview about it and her dad explains how they did it and she does to. There also is an interview where she talks about the experience and how these old oil tycoons from Texas ruined their lives with booze and drugs. I wish I still had those. Maybe someone can post them.

I can't find the one I was thinking of - but yeah, it's from that same red carpet appearance.
