Are we killing our rock stars?

The reality is she never was willing to make any sacrifices to her career that a personal life would require. She could have had children at any point; indeed she ended pregnancies rather than have kids. So I don't buy that sob story in this case as much more than a great drama.

My guess is that she never wanted to have children, which is ok, but apparently her image of Saint Stevie got tainted if she told the truth. And of course it makes a great tragic story for her fans who believe whatever sugarcoated story she wants them to believe.

So, that's when the question of why does she need so much money comes to mind. For who? Her niece and her niece only? Her parents are dead, she's not exactly in a great relationship with her brother, she doesn't speak with Robin's son. So, yeah, one wonder why she needs all that tainted money.

You have to remember, being in Fleetwood Mac was "like being in the Army". Fleetwood Mac prevented her from having the family she dreamed of, not her.

I have cringed at that line for 20+ years. She is truly delusional and it's not just in the last year...

We're not killing anyone. They make the choice. They must accept responsibility for the consequences of that choice, whether they are positive (loads of money, adulation) or negative (health issues or, God forbid, death).

this is something thing I've wondered about these days, haven't kept up with.. any specifics, was there a falling out? I mean I know he's supposedly a shady dude, but what's the latest story regarding him and Stevie's relationship?

I was wondering the same. If I were him, I'd be sucking up to that money train like nobody's bidness!

Same. After all, he has been putting up with her moods since forever.

I could still put up with a lot of bitching if she'd give me a million bucks a year. I LOVE you, $tevie(you nasty old goat).

Stevie said she used to beat him up until her father finally had enough of it. He gave Chris permission to hit her back even though she was a girl and then she stopped picking on him.

I didn't know this about Matthew. What happened there? I thought they had reconnected after he grew up??

Did something happen? I thought the last we heard about him was them spending the day together on that 24K tour stop that she dedicated Landslide to him?

Yes, and there were pictures of the two of them together around that time too.

Yes, and that is years after the mini Vegas residency at the Caesars' colesseum, so if it did happen, they must be over it.

I read somewhere that when she performed at the Caesars she had like 20 rooms, plus the suite that she stayed in. Matt went to see her show but Karen told him he couldn't have one of her comped rooms, so he had to make his own accomodations and pay for it. Very bizarre, considering she once married his father in order to act like his mother.

$he's such a giving person. I'm sure that sainthood is coming soon(wonder how much that will cost her?).
