"Stevie Nicks thinks it&amp;apos;s time for people to lay off Kristen Stewart.\r\nFleetwood Mac&amp;apos;s frontwoman (the band hits the road for their 2013 tour in Columbus, Ohio April 4; tickets go on sale Dec. 14) opened up to Us Weekly recently about the 22-year-old actress and her boyfriend Robert Pattinson&amp;apos;s rocky summer.\r\n\r\nTwi-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.\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;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,&amp;quot;,&amp;quot; the rock icon, 64, explained. &amp;quot;The fact is that when you&amp;apos;re  young and you&amp;apos;ve been in a relationship for a long time and something comes along that is a little bit overwhelming and magical, and you&amp;apos;re kind of in another situation with someone else . . . Things happen.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAdded Nicks of the criticism that&amp;apos;s been lobbed Stewart&amp;apos;s way, &amp;quot;I really always want to say to people, &amp;apos;People who live in glass houses shouldn&amp;apos;t throw stones.&amp;apos; It&amp;apos;s not anything the rest of us haven&amp;apos;t done.&amp;quot;\r\nIf Pattinson is willing to forgive her, everyone should let them be together in peace, according to Nicks. Says the star, &amp;quot;If what they have is that special they can overcome it, then good for [them].&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
