Stevie to be on ET this evening

[Lisa44]

Just saw this on etonline.com

More cd promotion and she talks about Britney and Anna Nicole. Should be pretty interesting.

I can't wait to see what she says about Britney! "I may have twirled right off the stage when I was her age, but I never shaved my head!"

STEVIE NICKS gets candid in a new revealling interview with ET, going on the record about what it was like to be under the influence of Klonopin, the same powerful tranquilizer -- along with nine other drugs -- that were found in ANNA NICOLE SMITH's autopsy report.

The singer was shocked to learn the drug connection between herself and the late Playboy Playmate, but in retrospect, she says the effects were apparent.

"I can bring to mind visions of Anna Nicole and think, well there you go," she says. "It's called a tranquilizer for a reason. When you take enough Klonopin you really don't care about anything."

For Stevie, getting off the drug became a matter of life and death.

"If I hadn't gone into the hospital when I did, I would absolutely be dead now," she says.

During FLEETWOOD MAC's performance at BILL CLINTON's 1993 inaugural bash, the singer admits she was on the drug.

Several months later, Stevie checked herself into rehab.

"That wasn't like the 28 day thing," she recalls. "That was 47 long days. I was in a lot of pain. I thought I was totally going to die."

Of course, Klonopin isn't the only drug she took. She had such an addiction to cocaine it burned a hole in her nose. She got treatment for that at the BETTY FORD center.

Now clean and in control, the 58-year-old proves her music can still mesmerize. Her new album and DVD, Crystal Visions: The Very Best of Stevie Nicks, is in stores today. The set features never before seen footage, as well as old favorites.

Living proof that you can come back, Stevie has some advice for another music superstar: BRITNEY SPEARS.

"She has children, so she's got to fix her life," Stevie says. "She doesn't have the luxury of being a crazy rock star because she has kids. When you make the decision to have children, your luxury is over. There's a certain part of you that has to settle down."

But she points out that Britney has time on her side.

"She's just a baby," Stevie says. "I hope she can come out of this."

I know - but I was thinking this was impromptu (sort of) and she might at least have gone to purple by now

I mean - does she not have ONE FUKCING QUEEN working for her

[ELIUD]

No way. It's black forever with the occassional splash of cream or red. Even her new GDW shawl looks more beige than gold.

Le Sigh - I know -- and I remember thinking in that Vegas shot in the CBS interview that she looked rather matronly in the new one

She needs to have me over for marg.'s and I am sure her concurrent make over will impress many!

[ELIUD]

I agree. She needs to go back to Rock Star 101 and take better notes.


Now I must run off to go get CV because I can't wait to see if mine comes in the mail today and I must watch it tonight.
