Stevie to Lindsay Lohan - "You know I'm not dead yet"
 
Perez Hilton posted a new tidbit on his website about Lindsay Lohan's obsession to play Stevie in a movie (which was talked about roughly 2 years ago), so in a new interview (which will probably be published soon), Stevie responded again. Here's what the post said:

We are soooo excited to see Stevie Nicks and the rest of Fleetwood Mac in concert next year!

Tickets for their tour go on sale this Monday, the 15th. We've set all sorts of reminders to go off that day so we don't get screwed out of tix!

Also, a friend of ours was recently chatting with the legendary Miz Nicks and they got to talking about Lindsay BiHan's obsession to play her in a movie.

"She's been saying that for years. I have nothing against her but I'm still living and working. You know I'm not dead yet," said Stevie.

You got that, Linds?

Chill for now.

We don't know if we'll ever be ready for Firecrotch's portrayal of Stevie.

Just the thought of LezLo's cover of Stevie's Edge of Seventeen makes our skin crawl!

god help us if lindsay is ever playing stevie.

maybe i'm a little bit off of topic now, but isn't a funny coincidence that a person called "lindsay" wants to play stevie's role?
another coincidence i found the other day. betty ford's center is in a place name mirage ranch or something like that.

stevie's right: destiny rules

I actually think Lindsay Lohan be a good choice, she so pretty, she's a huge fan and can sing a very little....I thank her for saying this publically a few times, keeps the idea in the news....Who else do you think would be a good pick?

estranged4life 12-10-2008 08:28 PM

Clarification needed...

She looks nothing like Stevie. Let us all hope that if a film were ever to be made that they find someone with talent, strength, and vulnerability. Lohan has none of these.

Travis 12-11-2008 08:25 AM

Hello Peeps!

Anyone ever heard of the movie “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” Stevie doesn’t have to be dead in order for a movie to be made about her. Stevie is in fact older now than Tina Turner was when that movie was made about her. I also think you guys are being way too hard on Lindsay Lohan. True, these past few years have been a rocky road for Lindsay but she seems to be heading back on the right track, though I don’t really follow her. Prior to her recent troubles these past few years she had received good reviews for most of her movies – she at least (unlike a lot of her peers) can act. I think we are forgetting about the time when Stevie’s life was not so in control, it’s just that it wasn’t splashed all over TV and the Internet the way it is nowadays. Give Lindsay a break – she is a fine actress. The mere fact she wants to play Stevie is a good thing.

I couldn't disagree with you more on ALL these counts LOL. Look at her on the cover of her album "A Little More Personal" and tell me she doesn't look like Stevie there. With the right make up and hair she could be a dead ringer for Stevie.

And I disagree with your summation of her acting skills too. I think she's a fine actor, how many of her films have you seen? I'm not a big fan of her music at all, but even Stevie says she's a great actor. Plus, she REALLY wants the part... I'm sure she's well studied on it, and has had years of preparing for it. Not to mention her dubious notoriety would bring big buzz if a movie were ever made... and no doubt, comparisons between the two women would be made. Lindsay could really change her image and be taken seriously if she did this movie, and knocked it out of the park.

Bu if you're simply judging Lindsay on her personal life and tabloid blunders, you should consider this: how much of an angel is Stevie? Back in the day, I'm sure Stevie could have done Lindsay under the table in regards to drug intake, promiscuous sex, and general celebrity craziness (such as having your hotel suites repainted and fitted with pianos every night of your tours). I doubt Lindsay has had 4 abortions either. It sounds like I'm a big Lindsay fan, which really, I'm not. I just believe we should give people credit where it's due.

Why would someone even allow Lindsay Lohan to play Stevie? She looks nothing like her.

Ok, do you still believe that after seeing this picture? Just imagine with hair and make up teams... she really could pass for Stevie.

Since when is that license for an actor not getting a role? It’s Hollywood – and you have make up artists that take care of actors looking the way they are supposed to for a role. :cool:

and quite a bit older than Loretta Lynn was in 1980 when Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for portraying Loretta in Coal Miner's Daughter.I think with the right director and a good script Lohan could pull it off .She is not the greatest actress out there but she certainly can act much better than just about any of her singer/actress/tabloid fixture peers.

Lindsay Lohan looks like a crack hoe with that bleached blonde hair! :nod: Ugh. And, as for her taste in girlfriends- Sam Ronson-OMG! :laugh: Stevie is not white trash and Lohan is and for that reason alone no one would ever cast in her in a movie about Stevie.:laugh:

Better choice? I'd like to see Helena Bonham Carter :blob2:or Keira Knightley. :blob1:Why even Britney Spears is a better choice than Lohan now that she's getting help. She might come from white trash but at least she cleans up nice.

Well, I stand by my statement.

Another difference between the 2. Lohan courts the tabloids and paparazzi. Without her shananigans she'd have no visibility or career for that matter.

Stevie lived her wild life in private. She let her work speak for itself. She has so much talent that she did not have to court the media and beg for attention. And yes I have seen Lohan's work.

I thinl Alicia Silverstein (is that the right last name) looks more like Stevie than anyone and is a better actress than Lohan.

But hey to each their own.

omigodstevie 12-12-2008 05:15 PM

The bottom line is that Lindsay Lohan might slightly pass for a Stevie, but she does not have the voice of a Stevie. They're not even close, and you'd need to find that in an actress above all other things, in my opinion.

Zombie 12-12-2008 05:37 PM

Mean Girls was an adorable movie, and Lohan was good in that.

But I do not want to see her try to play Stevie in ANYTHING. If she truly had some respect for Stevie, or was an actual fan of Stevie's music, why the hell did she butcher Edge the way she did? That was completely inexcusable, seriously.

Also, while Stevie did enough blow in her day to fell an army, I can't recall her ever getting out of a limo and flashing her crotch to photographers even once, let alone repeatedly. Be wild all you want, just have some class.

Actually, if they'd done the movie about 10 years ago, I would've said get Linda Blair to play Stevie.

But Lohan loses on all fronts it is not just the looking like Stevie part. You need to have something to play the part, either the look or the a ting/singing chops. Lohan has none of those things.

Yes yes. :-) She has the spinning head thing going for her now she just has to learn to make the body move with it.

gold_dust 12-12-2008 10:23 PM

Lohan offends my eyes and ears, so to have Stevie say she doesn't want anyone to play her yet, is fine with me. And if someone out there must portray Stevie, please, by all that is sacred and holy, do not choose Lohan. She's crass, can't act, can't sing, and she has zero mystique. She isn't an enigma, she isn't a leader. She's a follower. Stevie most certainly leads people. She's a poet. What is Lohan? A washed up, attention-seeking, junkie 'actress'. I think Stevie deserves quite a bit more than her.

And she looks zero like her. I look more like Stevie and my resemblance to her is nil...

PenguinHead 12-12-2008 10:48 PM

The irony of all of this? Stevie's been playing Lindsey for decades.

Well, I'd LOVE to see Kate Hudson play Stevie! She's one hell of a actress, who could easily pull off "Stevie".. I've said that for ages, as soon as all of this Blohan scandal came out years ago.. LOL..:thumbsup:

I don't judge Lohan on her tabloid life. She shouldn't play Stevie because she's a lousy actress and a worse singer, imho :shrug:

fleetwoodtrick 12-14-2008 08:52 PM

Sorry, Lindsay, but I already have a contract. I'm playing Stevie this supposed movie, not you. I AM MORE OBCESSED THAN YOU ARE. GET OVER IT.

LOL, I'm like on sugar high right now, so yes, I know it looks stupid.

In an interview published Thursday, The New York Times asked the 60-year-old Fleetwood Mac singer -- who battled a drug and alcohol addiction -- about reports that Lohan, 22, wants to buy the rights to Nicks' life story and play her on film.

"Over my dead body," Nicks snapped. "She needs to stop doing drugs and get a grip. Then maybe we'll talk."

diane_k 04-09-2009 07:18 PM

^ Stevie is so damn sassy lately, and I love every word of it!

whitewingdove73 04-09-2009 07:19 PM

Lindsay right now is in total turmoil. Her mother is a media whore, her father a psycopath, she has no real friends, her career is in the dumps.....Maybe Stevie could send Lindsay a letter like she did for Mariah Carey. Give her some advice. :thumbsup:

ontheEdgeof17 04-09-2009 08:45 PM

How about Stevie be the bigger man in this and take Lindsay under her wing (of chiffon, har har) and help her out of her time of turmoil? Stevie's been through it...went through hell after treatment and came out a better person. Why can't she lend a shoulder because she's been there? :shrug:

I think because Lindsay was so confident in her ability to play Stevie and portray her life story, when in fact, the only person who can know Stevie's life story is Stevie herself. I think Stevie was offended that Lindsay was going around saying this without asking Stevie for her approval, so this is why Stevie's being so bitchy.

jrpjr 04-10-2009 03:16 AM

I think Christina Applegate would be the PERFECT person to play Stevie Nicks in a movie. I have heard Stevie say the "we're not dead yet.." all the more reason to do it NOW...while you can still "approve" it. I think if a movie was done now..w/the perfect person cast as her...not necessarily Applegate...w/Stevie involved in the entire production..this could open up an entirely new audience for her...so many more people would appreciate and relate to her...personally and professionally.. i think it would be a perfect career move for her at 61 years old and STILL in the limelight...not after she is no longer here...that is senseless. The name of the movie......"Out Of The Darkness" or "After The Glitter Fades." Should I call Spielberg? OR better yet..Stevie herself?? We start production next week!! LOL!!

This made the local AM radio news today. They commented " oh look who's talking"

How do you know she did not already try and was rebuffed?

I think La Nicks' obvious disdain for LL stems from a personal issue with LL. I think LL was rude to La Nicks in a drug fit. It is rather inconceivable that they did not meet as LL covered EO17. La Nicks has pretty much met everyone else who covered her songs :shrug:

In the end, no matter what La Nicks does to help LL now, she will get burned. Addicts are like that :shrug:

I highly doubt this. It would make no sense on LL’s part to rebuff any advice that Stevie wanted to give her if in fact she wanted to play Stevie in a movie. Besides, if that were true, I think Stevie would have mentioned that she in fact did reach out to Lindsay, so I don’t think she has. There are now articles of her surfacing that she is now dissing Britney. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Stevie but these comments she is making regarding Lindsay and Britney are unprovoked. It makes Stevie look and seem “old and crabby”, which ironically is how she described herself in an 1981 interview regarding how she may end up. I love Stevie but she needs to relax. Madonna is a supporter of Britney and I wonder how long it will be before Madge takes a jab at Stevie. I would hate to read that because no doubt, it will be a clever diss. Stevie just needs to chill out.

Dodfather 04-10-2009 10:05 AM

Keira Knightley?! My God, no!

I'm not sure who could play Stevie. Yes, Lindsay Lohan is a pretty good actress given the right material but I'm just not sure about her. Maybe Michelle Williams? She's a fantastic actress and has a good voice too. Anyone who needs convincing of her abilitiesjust watch the scene in Brokeback Mountain where she is sitting at the table when Heath Ledger walks out the door.

What nobody has mentioned so far about both the Tina Turner and Loretta Lynn films is that they were both entirely based upon their own memoirs that dealt with her early success and marriages ( Coal Miners Daughter and 'I, Tina') and that that gives the film some very good source material to work with and direct creative input from the artist. Stevie hasn't written a book like that so I don't think the films can really be compared.
