Christine Mcvie may be jamming on stage in Maui

Well, there IS a major release that could be a goldmine for her.

And I don't think she flew all the way to Hawaii just to work on her tan; indeed, she's had the past three years to do this while Fleetwood Mac was on hiatus and Mick and John were men at leisure. The timing is a bit... strange... especially now that Mick is perhaps busier than ever.

Again, it may have something to do with the "Rumours" reissue (i.e. new interviews with all of them). It just so happens that it's happening on the eve of a tour. It also wouldn't surprise me if she genuinely wanted to get out of England for a bit.

And the real clincher... just look at her. I don't know what she has had done, but clearly she has undergone some kind of rejuvenation since her dog walking pics of several years ago. To put it another way, she doesn't look like a stereotypical moribund 70-year-old recluse who has retreated into the shadows and is merely waiting for the long, dark night. Her roots are touched up. She has a sparkle in her eyes. She's prepared herself for... something.

Yeah, she prepared herself for cameras. Mick Fleetwood stands out like a sore thumb, and she knows by now that she'll be photographed if she goes out anywhere with him, and since she's his guest... Those pics from a few years back were candids.

On the other hand, it would be extremely disappointing if this gig in Maui is Christine's first and last foray back into the public eye.

We also don't know that she won't change her mind. She's not exactly on the bill. She might be at the show, with an open invite to play with the band, but not step foot on stage. It's fun to think that she would somehow come back, but I have major doubts (though hope I'm wrong).

My dream with that situation is that Mick, John, Christine, and Rick play something as a quartet. It would be a cool Fleetwood Mac reunion of a different type.

Even if there was not going to be press, when you're going to see people who haven't seen you in 14 years, I think you try to doll yourself up. Get a hair cut, touch up the roots, wax the facial hair. I mean, we try to look good for a high school reunion, don't we?

You don't exactly want to give your ex-husband the Bag Woman Special, do you?

Then, when they get to Los Angeles, it's not like Stevie is going to be schlepping over to meet her in sweats and giant rollers. Both women will want to look nice for each other -- at least initially. The hair will come down and make up will come off some time later.

She saw them on the "Say You Will" and Unleashed tours, and had Mick and Rick stay at her place when when they toured England. I remember somebody posting a picture, I think from 2009, with the five backstage.

Add to that your friends are Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, and your ex is John McVie, and YOU were the one who had the most hits in THEIR band... Just saying that she has probably gone out of her way to look great because she knows there are going to be cameras everywhere, especially L.A.

I need to see that! Can anybody "rescue" that picture?

It was a picture from the SYW tour. We didn't get a picture from the Unleashed tour.

Don't forget that Steven Tyler will be the main singer at this gig, more than likely.

Man, if I thought I was bummed that he was in the picture with them, that was only the beginning. if she wasted her visit dueting on I Don't Want To Miss A Thing with Tyler, I'd pack her up and ship her back to England myself.

Maybe he'd sing one of her songs. Although the odds are she probably won't sing at all. There's a better chance that she'd play keyboards than sing.

I'm betting on a set that's heavy on Peter Green songs, since Tyler is a huge Peter Green fan.
