STAND BACK TMZ PHOTOGRAPHERS... STEVIE NICKS IS IN CHARGE!

Spotted at Boa Steakhouse this week, Stevie was filmed and photographed by TMZ heading inside with her assistant Karen leading the way... followed by Stevie then Sharon Celani one of Stevie's background singers... Karen can be heard at the beginning saying "Oh my god you guys... " Stevie then pipes in and says... "Okay you guys... This doesn't even happen to me anymore, I'm way too old"... All the while she's smiling, holding up her hand, probably abit blinded by the flashing lights and frantically trying to get inside. Sharon Celani behind her laughing sounds like she's enjoying the whole ordeal.

More shots by Ken Regan up for auction

STEVIE NICKS SIGHTING - BOA STEAK HOUSE

It’s always a delight to run into Stevie Nicks somewhere. This week she dined at Boa steak house, dressed all in black as usual. We like everything but the tinted aviator glasses – they don’t do her any favors. She finished her world tour with Fleetwood Mac in December, you last saw Stevie on the Grammys singing with Taylor Swift and now she’s writing songs with Dave Stewart. Did you know Lindsay Lohan tried to buy the rights to Stevie’s life so she could produce and star in the movie? Stevie responded “Over my dead body!”
