 Stevie Nicks seeks mum's advice on Melbourne Cup Nui Te Koha 01nov05 FLEETWOOD Mac singer Stevie Nicks is relying on her mother's race tip for the Melbourne Cup. Nicks, 57, the original rock chick, spent 30 minutes on the phone yesterday to her mother, Barbara, surveying the field. Barbara, 78, an avid horse race follower, and Nicks, three times guest of the Kentucky Derby, decided on the Michael Moroney-trained gelding, Xcellent. "My mother wanted me to bet $25 across the board. I don't even know what across the board means," Nicks laughed yesterday. Barbara is in Phoenix, Arizona, but Nicks, in Melbourne to reveal a tour and attend the Melbourne Cup Carnival, said: "The fun of this is to involve my mother. She is equally excited." On Stakes Day on Saturday, Nicks has a race named in her honour. The singer spent yesterday studying the Melbourne Cup and related events. "I love being knowledgeable so I can talk about it," she said. "I don't want to be a rock 'n' roll star dropping by to have my picture taken." In a wide-ranging interview, the always-candid Nicks told why she would never marry and of fight to beat cocaine addiction. "I was never warned about cocaine," she said. "I was told, my whole generation was told, cocaine is recreational, it's non-addictive and it won't hurt you. "But after being addicted to cocaine, I have a hole in my nose that's the size of a dime, and it could've completely screwed my voice. But nobody told me that. "If somebody sat me down and said cocaine will put a hole in your nose, it could possibly cause a brain haemorrhage, and you will drop dead, I would never have done it." Nicks praised British supermodel Kate Moss for going into rehabilitation to kick her cocaine addiction. "God bless Kate," Nicks said. "It is so hard to beat, and she is trying. Some people never do." Moss was forced into rehab after British newspapers published pictures of her allegedly snorting drugs. Moss lost millions of dollars in high fashion endorsements after the scandal broke. Nicks will perform at Rod Laver Arena on February 18. Tickets go on sale on November 15.

I'm probably gonna get in SOOOOO much trouble but - On the extremely rare, off chance that it didn't work out, she'd lose a HELL of a lot of money, and she wants it to go to Jessica and the Heart Institute and City of Hope. Stevie? Practical? Yeah, very.... She worked hard for it. Except (maybe...) for the part where she got paid 200 grand for sitting in a chair all day. If I were her I'd STILL be laughing hysterically over that!   Aaron Jess Nicks = #1. Jess Seth Nicks = # 2. Jessica Nicks = III. Can you say Dynasty??? Someone as determined as Stevie will let NOTHING mess with that.....

 Great picture! I like it more than the one in the other thread, though I guess this is more 'Stevie-mainstream'.

I wish I could find the thread on short notice but sorry, I literally don't have time. I'm pretty sure it was on The Ledge though - yeah - Stevie's being paid 200 thousand for just showing up! ( I MAY have this wrong - it may be that Eva Longoria is, and I've assumed that Stevie's being paid the same amount - so I admit I could be wrong. But what I remember is that it was all of 'em. ) Anyway - yeah - this isn't just for fun - she's being paid serious, serious money for this. And she's (presumably) under contract and she's supposedly not permitted to leave her own Marquee (McManus's, that is) and visit the others, and they can't visit her. Anyway look around - I seem to recall that it's mentioned in one of the articles about the event itself. If you can't find it, I'll dig more, as soon as I have time.

Personally I didn't see that but I definitely admit that could be true, everything considered. But maybe she's just nervous about Presenting at the race since it's such a "Big Deal" - or about the Social stuff in the Marquee, etc. Hey, who knows, maybe she's just trying to look "Nicksian!"

Much better pic than the other one but what's with her hand? It looks scary at that angle.
She should have a tape recorded response for every time she asked about cocaine addiction. My God how does she deal with that over and over and over again? I would scream! I guess you could say the same thing about Lindsey questions.

Yea, I want to hear why she will never marry. I thought she was waiting for Mr. Right to walk around the corner? What happened to all that BS?
