Stevie Nicks would have strangled Nicki Minaj

[reebokandlace]

It was very smart of Stevie to apologize. There was no way she could have protected herself from die hard Nicki fans who potentially were thinking about "popping a cap in her ass" because of what she said. It wasn't worth it. Stevie learned a lesson today, the old adage 'think before you speak'.

I'm a youngster who was in highschool just last year, and I've never met anybody who had no idea who she was. Maybe they were out there but never asked. I wore Stevie/Mac shirts very often, got a ton of compliments, and everybody was so excited for me when I got my first Stevie show tickets. So I don't think she's that irrelevant imo. Maybe they don't know any of her new stuff, but most somewhat cultured teenagers know her as a legend, and know the hits. I would doubt any Nicki fans would know her, as most are like urban middle school kids and probably don't listen to anything that isn't modern.

I agree. I don't think she was looking for trouble. They probably asked her how she felt about it, or about American Idol, and she just went off without thinking. Personally her honesty and tell-it-like-it-is attitude is adorable to me. And I like that she still does it. It could be much worse. Stevie is fairly tame compared to people like Cher, Madonna, Courtney Love, etc.
Besides, all publicity is good publicity. Maybe some kids will rediscover her and buy some records.

American Idol should seriously fire Nicki Minaj's rear end, so that she won't be that powerful anymore among her die-hard fans who are threatening Stevie!

I love Stevie more than life, and completely understand her saying this in the flaky, dramatic, exaggerating type of way she says a lot of her wacky quotes. But to people who don't know her and don't understand the way she talks and acts and know to take it all with a grain of salt, it kind of looks insane that Stevie was talking about murdering a woman she has never met due to a fight she has nothing to do with.
I will certainly stand up for Stevie always, and am actually entertained by her feisty quotes lately, but I can understand them being angry because if anybody ever said they wanted to kill or hurt Stevie, I would be a very angry person.
That being said, Stevie is cracking me up lately. You go girl.

Nicks nixed by Nicki, blah blah blah....so out of character for her.

I remember not much time ago we were talking about Stevie being a judge on that show.Speaking of running the mouth and blowing up at people..I have that habit which cost me a couple jobs in my life.I'm glad Stevie appolized to this idiot.I don't trust her and her rap fans.

A friend told me that Ms. Minaj has had Twitter "feuds" with other celebrities, including Cher. Sounds like someone doesn't know how to play well with others.

I have a feeling Stevie & Cher could take her. And if they don't manage to finish her off, Mariah's voice would surely make her head explode.

The Bottom Line

Venue
Hamptons International Film Festival, World Cinema: Documentary

Stevie Nicks and producer Dave Stewart co-direct a diary about the album they made together.

THE HAMPTONS, NEW YORK — A diaristic doc whose appeal is limited strictly to megafans, In Your Dreams: Stevie Nicks chronicles the collaboration between Nicks and Eurythmics member Dave Stewart on the 2011 album of the same name. A raucous premiere here (with viewers applauding after every song) suggests Nicks has enough admirers to fill special screenings here and there, but the film is best suited to a CD/DVD Collectors' Edition package.

Nicks and Stewart share directing credit on the film, displaying an enthusiasm for effects -- from filters to fisheye lenses -- that sometimes exacerbates the choppiness of Shane Mclafferty's editing. Their stylistic flourishes fit more smoothly in the music video-like sequences scattered throughout, where 19th-century costumes and the occasional vampire or magician matches the music's mood.

The film opens "somewhere in Southern California," where Nicks has decided to set up mikes in the middle of her sprawling old house and spend the better part of a year piecing a record together with Stewart and some other old friends. Having handed Stewart a book full of writings (she uses the word "poems" pretty loosely), the two collaborate on making songs from them; the film gives each track its own bit of screen time, whether it was inspired by a long-ago post-rehab romance ("For What It's Worth") or is little more than an aural book report about "Wide Sargasso Sea."

STORY: Stevie Nicks: 12 Revelations From the Grammy Museum Event

This may suit devotees, but more casual fans will wish for a movie that doesn't assume we already know everything there is to know about the singer's career. Only one brief tangent on her childhood makes its way onscreen, and there's almost no talk of her early solo outings or her heyday with Fleetwood Mac. (An enjoyable bit of keyboard noodling on "Dreams" is as close as we get to the glory days.) Old bandmates Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham do drop by to record on new songs, though, and we are treated to a funny story about the time Nicks tried to steal a Mike Campbell tune that became Tom Petty's "Runaway Trains."
Though unconvinced viewers may snort when Nicks compares herself to Bob Dylan or treats lyrics scribbled on hotel stationery like relics of great import, we do see things partly explaining her success: Knowing she's not getting what she wants during a track's playback, she proves to have remembered one of Stewart's guitar solos better than he himself does.

All I can think of during this whole debacle is poor Karen! This might be the most damage control she's dealt with in some time :P

More like Liz, her publicist. She used to work for Madonna (She doesn't still though, does she? I'm not sure), so she's got to be used to getting divas out of sticky situations.
I don't think anybody pulls more stunts and says more controversial things than Madge. So Liz is definitely an expert.

To me, the sad part is that more press and attention goes to the judges than the contestants...and it really DOES mean the world to most of these kids.

Unless I'm mistaken, the orginal Mariah-Nicki blow-up happened when they were discussing a contestant. Can you imagine being the poor kid who had to stand there and listen to that crap, when all you want to do is make it to the next round?

But, AI knew what they were getting into before they hired Nicki. I don't know her from Adam, but I have seen some of her performances on shows and ... ugh. Still, they knew there was bad blood between her and Mariah and ...I'm sure they play it up to the hilt.

Why would the reporter have mentioned this to begin with? Seems a stupid question. Ask about mentoring/about the rumors that they wanted her to be a judge...but, a feud that she had nothing to do with? Weird. Of course, she took the bait...but, she's loveably wacky so...I wasn't the least bit shocked.

Most of Nicki's fans are teenyboppers. Most rap fans don't even take her seriously and they see her as a pop artist. I highly doubt anyone is going to actually do anything to Stevie besides spew a bit of venom. So there is no need to overreact. That is how it is now with social media. If you say anything bad about an artist or do something they consider a slight, their their stans will rip you apart or threaten you. This is the mentality of many fanbases of current artist. Justin Bieber's stans attacked and threatened Esperanza Spaulding for winning the best new artist Grammy. The poor girl did nothing, but that didn't stop them. They eventually got over it and she was fine. I don't like it, but that is just the way it is.

Pardon me for being in the over 50 set but who or what is a stan?

[Dreamz19]

lol no problem. Stan is basically a psycho fan. It was taken from the Eminem song "Stan" that was about a crazy obsessed fan. It used to be considered an insult, but some people willingly call themselves a stan now. So they will say

"I stan for Britney Spears" or "I am stanning for Rihanna now."

I hope I explained that good enough.
