Stevie heading to Australia for Melbourne Cup
 

Herald Sun

I'm still looking for something that says WHEN this is???

Edit: Here's something - it's the end of October/early November:

Melbourne Cup

ACADEMY Award-nominated actors, international fashion plates and a bona-fide rock legend are among the big names confirmed for Flemington during Melbourne Cup week.

Fleetwood Mac songbird Stevie Nicks is flying in for Cup Week as the guest of tour promoter Andrew McManus

The legendary rock beauty will hold court in the exclusive Andrew McManus Presents marquee on Melbourne Cup Day.

Nicks will add extra star power to Emirates Stakes Day with a race named in her honour. American Idol winner-turned-chart-topper Kelly Clarkson will also be a guest in the Andrew McManus Presents marquee, as will a revitalised INXS.

Meanwhile Chloe Sevigny will be at the Motorola Razrbar in the Birdcage on Derby and Cup days.

The actor and fashion muse, who was nominated for an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Boys Don't Cry, has been signed as the phone giant's Spring Carnival Ambassador.

TV's hottest housewife Eva Longoria will swap Wisteria Lane for the Flemington Birdcage on Derby Day as Myer's Spring Carnival Ambassador.

Longoria will judge Myer's Fashions on the Field.

Bold and the Beautiful star Ronn Moss will be at the Emirates Marquee on Derby Day while Queer Eye For the Straight Guy's Carson Kressley is expected to be a Cup guest of Myer.

Interesting....she sure is out and about lately isnt she?

Chris

hmmm....gonna get my passport pic updated Monday, just in case... :wavey:

rbs

Hmmm...preliminary meetings w/ the orchestra, perhaps??

"Meeting with the Tour Promoter"... It's looking very good for the Austrailians and an upcoming tour.

That is cool. One question tho. Why is she always in the place I'm not?

OMG i can't breathe
Melbourne cup is always the 2nd of November here
my birthday is on the 4th................that's an hour plane trip OMG
I am so there f&ck Uni and my work I'm going and i HATE the horse races

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I am most intrigued by this part of the story:

Fleetwood Mac songbird Stevie Nicks is flying in for Cup Week as the guest of tour promoter Andrew McManus


Hmmmmmmmm. Who is this Andrew guy anyway? And why would he give her her very own race?

I'm just wondering.... :p

Maybe it's her new boyfriend?? :nod:

LMAO Andrew isn't her boyfriend GROSS!
He's the guy that makes the deals with all the bands and their companies etc to decide whether or not they make the trip down here and how many shows/what cities they are going to perform at.

I don't know if he brings them ALL over..............but at least 90% of the concerts that are advertised for over here are thru him :D

let's hope he's a big ass Stevie fan :)

I'm so happy for Stevie. I hope she has a great time.
I was thinking about going to Paris in the new year but I could be persuaded to go to Australia. :laugh:

She's dated some gross guys, so you never know!

Chris

:laugh: That is so true! I think Lindsey and Don Henley the top "non-gross" guys. Beyond that it gets very sketchy. Joe Walsh comes to mind. That one really baffles me.
