Stevie Nicks Nixes Lindsay Lohan From Her Biopic

If Lindsay Lohan wants to play Stevie Nicks on film, she's going to have to follow in the singer's footsteps in real life, too.

Lohan, who has expressed interest in playing the Fleetwood Mac singer, got shut down in her quest, as Nicks told CNN that she needs to clean up her act before there was any chance of it happening.

"She's never going to," Nicks told the news network. "That's never going to happen unless she cleans up her life and becomes the great actress I feel she can be. Everybody thinks I hate her, and it's not that at all."

Nicks has gone to rehab twice, for cocaine and pill abuse. The star made similar comments in 2009, when it was first proposed to her that Lohan might buy the film rights to her life so that she could portray her on screen.

"Over my dead body. She needs to stop doing drugs and get a grip," she told the New York Times. "Then maybe we'll talk."

Lohan spent part of last summer in rehab, and is awaiting trial for misdemeanor theft charges. She was recently sentenced to jail for violating her parole.

She recently spoke about getting her career back on track -- she nabbed a small role in "Gotti: Three Generations" after squandering an opportunity for a bigger one -- and seemed to understand that it would take time.

"I think that will be something I'll be able to say when I've taken the steps that I need to take to prove I can be insurable again," Lohan told "Extra." "I think that will come in time when I'll even be in the position to say that. Because I don't think I am right now."

Stevie, even her sixties, could still play herself.  Oprah had her as a guest recently.  She still has it.

Lohan's not qualified to carry Stevie Nicks' tambourine. With that said, someone need to sit her down and tell her to drop out of site for a couple of years, ditch the toxic entourage, check into a serious rehab facility and fight to get well enough to go on an extended restful vacation where she can write her own biography and then produce and star as herself in an independent film adaptation of the book.

as a huge stevie fan, i'm disgusted lindsay is using her to legitimise her career in some respect. Let me just say, maria bello would be the best stevie, the resemblance is uncanny, just throwing it out there

The funny thing is Stevie might be the only person in the world who has done moreCoke than Lindsay.

Lindsay Lohan couldn't do Stevie if her life depended on it. I don't know who could at this point as far as looking like her. I do know who's got the acting chops to do it--- Jennifer Lawrence. She played Ree in Winter's Bone. She's got the range and the skill. That's a talented youngster.

It would be an insult to have LL play Stevie Nicks. It would take the credibility away from the movie immediately

Nicks worries about someone cleaning up their act? That is funny.

Excellent response Stevie. You sacrificed your personal life for your music and art. She is clueless how much it means to you...

Well from chatter like this and from others like John Travolta, it seems like the door isn't completely closed on LL. PPL are hoping she pulls it together and get on with it. I suppose they see promise in her. But only LL can turn herself around. Any more private part flashings, drunken crazy behavior caught on film, or cocaine pictures then LL will be toast.

I wonder if Stevie was on drugs when she wrote all that great music?

Was Stevie on drugs when she wrote all that great music??

LOL. She and The Eagles snorted up the West Coast AND Colorado!

Still, her talent is undeniable and formidable.
