7Stevie Nicks Used To Really, Really Like Cocaine

Stevie Nicks is a living legend, and one who used to do a whole lot of drugs back in the day. She’s since tucked her mirror and rolled $20 bill away in a hope chest alongside her peasant skirts and dream catchers, but there was a time when Stevie wouldn’t leave her house without a shitload of cocaine in her shoes.

Opening up on Oprah’s new Master Class series (via KHON), Stevie recalled:

Nicks says, “Everybody else thought you looked beautiful but that’s because everybody else was stoned. You didn’t look beautiful; you looked high.”

She admits her cocaine habit almost killed her, adding, “I went to a plastic surgeon and he looked in my nose and said, ‘You have a really big hole in your nose; it’s very dangerous… Your next hit of coke could be your last hit of anything.”

And now she’s determined to steer others away from getting hooked on the “stupid drug”, adding, “My only advice to anybody who is watching me talk right now is to say, ‘Save your money, because it’s gonna cost you $50,000 to go to rehab… You will have to go or you will die.’”

Fair enough. Cocaine is a helluva drug, in the words of the late Rick James. It’ll f-ck you up before you even realise it, but shit, at least she got ‘Landslide’ out of it (among countless others).

3Stevie Nicks Has Something to Say About Kristen Stewart and her Wandering Vadge

Oh man. Did you know? Stevie Nicks is sticking up for Kristen Stewart’s former philandering ways months after all this business has gone down. Just in time! From Us Weekly:

Twi-hard Nicks, who has struck up a friendship with the duo over the last few years (she even wrote a Twilight-inspired tune for In Your Dreams), said she thinks people need to give Stewart — who cheated on Pattinson in July with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders — a break.

“I was her age once, and exactly what happened to her happened to me two or three times, and whoever it was that I was with forgave me all two or three times,”,” the rock icon, 64, explained.

“The fact is that when you’re young and you’ve been in a relationship for a long time and something comes along that is a little bit overwhelming and magical, and you’re kind of in another situation with someone else . . . Things happen.”

Added Nicks of the criticism that’s been lobbed Stewart’s way, “I really always want to say to people, ‘People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.’ It’s not anything the rest of us haven’t done.”

If Pattinson is willing to forgive her, everyone should let them be together in peace, according to Nicks. Says the star, “If what they have is that special they can overcome it, then good for [them].”

So OK. That’s all well and good, but the whole “it’s not anything the rest of us haven’t done”? I know that Stevie survived the sixties … and the seventies … and the cocaine-crusted eighties, but assuming that everyone’s gone out and cheated on their significant other in some fashion? Well. It’s a little presumptuous, that’s all I’m saying.
