Stevie Nicks performed at Elton John's recent 11th Annual An Enduring Vision Benefit benefiting his AIDS foundation (which ended up raising an incredible $2 million), where she once again weighed in on the American Idol drama between new judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.

Stevie made headlines when she told The Daily that she would have "strangled" Nicki to death if she was Mariah, and has since apologized for it.
"They'll work it out," Nicks tells The Insider about the much-talked about feud. 
"I hope so. I hope they can."

And would the Fleetwood Mac legend be open to judging a reality singing competition herself?
"I don't know if I'd have the time, it's very time consuming," she says. "You have to really be willing to give up a whole lot of everything else that you do if you're going to put a whole solid year into that."

Stevie Nicks Releases Statement: ‘Truly Sorry’ For Saying She Would Have ‘Strangled’ Nicki Minaj

Stevie Nicks ‘Truly Sorry’ For Saying She Would Have ‘Strangled’ Nicki Minaj

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- Stevie Nicks is apologizing after she lashed out at Nicki Minaj.

The former Fleetwood Mac singer, who was a mentor last season on “American Idol,” was asked about the recent blowup between new “Idol” judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, and Stevie had some strong words for the new “Idol” judge.

“How dare this little girl!… If I had been Mariah I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there,” the 64-year-old rocked told The Daily.com when asked about Minaj. “I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it.”

Now, Nicks regrets her comments and says they came after a grueling day with the media.

“I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj’s behavior toward Mariah Carey which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews. It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said,” she said in a statement released to Access Hollywood.

Adding, “I feel very protective toward Mariah Carey who has gone through many difficulties in her life and I spoke without thinking. I think all artists should be respectful toward one another and that includes me. I am truly sorry.”

A rep for Minaj was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

STEVIE NIXES AUTOBIO + FLEETWOOD SMACK for ‘Idol’ diva Nicki Minaj


STEVIE NIXES A DISHY AUTOBIO
NYDaily News

Fleetwood Mac is famous for drug-addled affairs between band members. But at the Hamptons Film Festival premiere of “In Your Dreams,” a documentary about the making of her 2011 album of the same name, Stevie Nicks told Confidenti@l she has no plans to write a juicy tell-all.

“I’m never going to write that kind of book,” Nicks (above) said. “If I do anything, it will be just vignettes of the magical moments of my life.”

Go your own way, Stevie!

See how one quote can take on a life of it's own? Huge amount of on-line press with Stevie's remarks towards Nicki Minaj (some of it below).

But I have to admit, some of the headlines from today are pretty hilarious!  It's debatable whether the saying "All Press is Good Press" applies... 


Stevie has since released a statement through her publicist Liz Rosenberg retracted what she said 
saying:


“I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj’s behavior toward Mariah Carey which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews. It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said. I feel very protective toward Mariah Carey who has gone through many difficulties in her life and I spoke without thinking. I think all artist should be respectful toward one another and that includes me. I am truly sorry.”

AMERICAN Idol execs can thank their lucky stars they didn't hire Stevie Nicks as a judge: explaining an on-air strangling to the censors would have been difficult.

Nicks, who was coach for the contestants last season, weighed into the on-air feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, telling The Daily that she would have sent Minaj to the place where the rooms are permanently on fire if she had been in Carey's shoes.


Stevie Nicks Says She Wants to Literally Murder Nicki Minaj

Following news of the weirdly boring/probably fake feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, itinerant fortune teller Stevie Nicks decided she should probably jump in. NATURALLY. And her words for Minaj were not pretty.

"I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it," the former Fleetwood Mac star promised.

Stevie added that normally she would have just gone with a bat-bogey hex or a jelly-legs jinx, but unfortunately she had her wand confiscated by the Wizengamot for violating the International Statute of Secrecy. So, manual strangulation it was. Then she ran out of polyjuice potion and turned back into Professor Trelawney. The end.
