Prince has had enough of Whitney Houston and her erratic behavior, constant ticket demands and crazy antics.
According to TMZ, Prince has banned Whitney from his future shows.
Whitney attended several Prince concerts in the last few weeks and appeared to be “intoxicated” at each show — though our sources never saw Whitney drink alcohol or take drugs.
We’re told Whitney was constantly badgering Prince’s staff to let her up on the stage … but Team Prince shot her down every time because P’s people “didn’t want her to embarrass herself.”
Our sources say Whitney’s erratic behavior, coupled with repeated and excessive ticket demands became too much for Prince — and his team ultimately banned Houston from his concerts.
As TMZ first reported, Houston is receiving treatment in an out-patient rehab program for ongoing drug and alcohol problems.
Calls to Houston’s people have not been returned.
Hopefully Whitney is getting some help. It’s just so stinking sad! Such a waste of a God-given talent.
Ha! This is hilarious! According to Gawker, not everyone thinks Kim Kardashian is the bees knees.
Monday was the last night of musician/god Prince’s run of concerts at Madison Square Garden, and because he is Prince, and does what he wants, he invited large-busted socialite Kim Kardashian to dance with him onstage (around 1:00 in the video). But she didn’t dance! Instead, she stood there and pulled that awkward-pretend-laugh-oh-God-I’m-so-uncomfortable move that is a favorite of people who can’t dance, or don’t want to embarrass themselves trying.
But you don’t do that to Prince in front of a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden, no matter how many sex tapes you have. So he kicked her off stage unceremoniously, and the moment was recorded for posterity in this delightful video.
I love Prince. But I don’t think he’s got it right this time. He told the Daily Mirror over this weekend that the internet is completely over.
“The internet’s completely over,” Prince told the paper. “I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it.”
“The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good.”
“They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you.”
Ok Prince. You’ll have to tell that to my Ipod. Because my Ipod likes the internet and likes Itunes. Don’t be so stingy! We love your music. Make it available.
What do you think? Is the internet over? I think it has just begun.
Prince’s new song features lyrics about the mother of a girl named Valentina, and some are speculating if he’s talking about newlywed Salma Hayek. The lyrics in question are:
“Hey Valentina, tell your mama she should give me a call/ When she get tired of runnin’ after you down the hall/And she’s all worn out from those late-night feedings/and she’s ready for another rock and roll meeting”
What do you think, a coincidence or is Prince no so subtly pining for Salma?
This is awfully ironic to me, because for YEARS I thought Prince was gay himself! I mean look at that picture! C’mon now!
Religious rocker Prince is knocking on the doors of U.S. politicians, preaching about his faith as a Jehovah’s Witness.
The Sexy M.F. singer became a Jehovah’s Witness in 2001 and is using the faith to fight what he considers the extreme ideals held by America’s duelling political parties.
He tells the New Yorker magazine, “Here’s how it is: you’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this (the Bible). But there’s the problem of interpretation, and you’ve got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn’t.
“And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got blue, you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, ‘You can do whatever you want’. Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right.”
When asked about his perspective on social issues including gay marriage and abortion, the singer reportedly tapped a copy of the Bible, adding, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough’.”
Prince will be paid $4 million to perform at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, according to U.S. reports.
The singer will headline Saturday night at the three-day music event in California, which begins on April 25th.
But he was only added to the festival line-up in a bid to increase ticket sales, according to other reports.
A source says, “Prince was a late addition to the line-up. The promoters added him to try and sell more tickets and make up for a less than stellar, in comparison to years past, roster of performers. The exact amount Prince is getting paid for his Coachella performance is $4.8 million.”
