Doesn't she look so unbelievably young??? That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that one. She is beyond fabulous.



BTW..and sort of a threadjack......where the heck has Amber been? Has she joined the long list of "gone elsewhere" Ledgies?

I think she's just taking a break, but I don't know that for sure. I've talked to her once on myspace.

Stevie with Rober Plant, Stevie with Helen Mirrin, Stevie with Bette Midler - could this get any better

And she looks to die for. Seriously, I think mama has had some work done, cause she is looking more bright-eyed than ever...

Did anyone else notice the USO badge on her shoulder bag - Le Sigh!

And - La Nicks carries a shoulder bag - that alone may make Jazzy go out and purchase three

Farewell Ahmet

You already know about record tycoon Ahmet Ertegun's farewell celebration last week in the Rose Theater of Columbus Circle in New York. About 700 people crammed in for the farewell to the Turkish/American phenomenon who created Atlantic Records. Ahmet was given a farewell that, had they charged for it, would have been the blockbuster hit of all time -- almost three hours of the famous from Phil Collins to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Solomon Burke, Sam Moore, Kid Rock, Stevie Nicks, Ben E. King and my favorites -- the Manhattan Transfer. Not to omit a touching appearance by Bette Midler, as a kind of classy emcee, doing "Princess Papoolee Has Plenty of Papaya; She Likes to Give It Away!" Bette appeared throughout giving a warm, witty and sweet touch to the proceedings.
Oh yes, and Mick Jagger, the piece de resistance at the end. He was cute. Most of the speeches were good, heartfelt, some a trifle dirty and funny. Oscar de la Renta did well, so did a clearly emotional Jann Wenner and best of all -- surprise, direct from L.A., the record mogul David Geffen himself. Who knew he was such a dynamic speaker?

I wondered whether people were aware that the handsome bearded man who rose to speak briefly was Oscar-winning movie director Taylor Hackford, who had organized the show for Mica Ertegun, Ahmet's elegant widow?

So who was the fabulous-looking blonde in white sitting next to director Hackford in the third row? Hmmm -- does his wife Helen Mirren know Taylor was out with such a winner? (Oh, it was Helen! But, of course.)

Party on

At the after-party in the Boathouse of Central Park, Madonna's PR lady, Liz Rosenberg, (she is almost as famous as Madonna) came up to introduce Stevie Nicks. The blond and adorable Stevie said she felt she had to tell a few tales about Ahmet as well as sing, and this made the evening go a bit long. Everybody wanted to pay tribute. Me, too -- Ahmet was one of my favorite people.
