Does Stevie ever leave the house?
 

The reason I ask is because I see lots of candid pictures of most celebs, but not Stevie. I mean, I have never seen Stevie wielding a Starbucks cup with a bunch of body guards surrounding her... I have never seen any pics of her shopping or out and about on the streets of Hollywood or New York. You know, pictures we see of almost all celebrities. What is the deal? Do the paparazi just not care about taking Stevie's picture? Or does she just not leave her house/hotel room?

I think that's probably the case. She's not a huge pop culture icon the way Jennifer Aniston or Madonna or a lot of movie stars are. Paparazzi are not going to get paid big bucks by the Enquirer for a photo of Stevie sitting at a sidewalk cafe as they might for Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Lopez or Lindsay Lohan. There are plenty of candid shots of Stevie out and about back in the day when FM were at the height of their popularity, but I've only seen a few photos of her from recent years that look like they were taken at an airport or on the street somewhere. Also, though we love her and would know her anywhere, I don't think she's all that recognizeable to the average person these days, especially if she dresses down and and keeps it low key when she's out shopping and stuff. I'm glad she gets her privacy in that respect.

I agree with all of this.

That is good that she gets her privacy, but I'm sure she kinda gets down sometimes that no one wants her picture.

I want her picture! lol :laugh:

I read somewhere (don't quote me on this though) that she doesn't even go to the grocery store. :shrug:

Stevie is way too faaaabulous for the grocery store :laugh:.(Yeah, she has said she doesn't do her own grocery shopping or sends people to the store for her in a few interviews. However, there was a Street Angel era interview where she made a comment about going to the store in her gypsy regalia with the boots and all and people being sort of surprised that she is that way in real life. Anyone remember that? Maybe she used to shop. Or was just looking for an example of an "everyday" place to illustrate the point that she really dresses that way offstage too.)

I know I'm late on this, but welcome back, by the way.

shut- ins rock!

there is no reason at all go leave the house in phx in the summer. it's too hot.

i enjoy being a shut- in

Totally agree.

And I'll add: I know someone who has hung with her, and she told me Stevie is completely anonymous and unrecognizable as "the extra much more fabulous Stevie Nicks" when she is out shopping and stuff. No ribbons and bows and lace, big sunglasses, etc.

hi everybody,
here's something interesting. stevie did an interview w/ my local radio dj in the washington dc area (94.7 the arrow) and said her favorite store is "bed, bath & beyond". she said she frequented the one in phoenix and you never know - if you shopped in there you may run into her. :o

...
 

Didn't she also say she loved to shop at Pier One?

know what? she may have and i didn't catch that part. i just remember her and the dj laughing about him "stalking" her in bb&b. that's cool that she likes pier 1 - it's my favorite store. :thumbsup:

I think it comes down to the fact that Stevie does not let her publicist know every time she visits a hospital or something like that (eg:the recent hospital visit in DC). Publicists will notify the media of their clients whereabouts for photo ops. Stevie is most definately an A list celebrity. However I dont think she socializes all that much or does the movie premeire route. Also she is not a media whore. Someone like Madonna lets her publicist know every time she farts.

Which is what got her in trouble with the IRS a few years back. She claimed her "stage attire" as a tax write-off, but, the IRS countered, saying that she wears her "stage attire" while off-stage, so her "stage wardrobe" cannot be claimed.

I thought I saw a few more recent pics (within the last 5 years or so) of her shopping in Phoenix, but damned if I remember where...

I definitely agree with you TIffany, especially on the dressed down part. I've seen pictures of her without her makeup on, and I have to look twice to make sure its her. It's not that she looks bad or anything, but just that the makeup makes her look different. I also like your pount about the privacy thing. Everybody needs it, especially her :D
