Glam Slam

Prince will perform on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno three nights in a row, March 25-27, as he builds anticipation for the March 29 release of two new albums, "LOtUSFLOW3R" and "MPLSoUND."  Prince will also perform a fourth night on the "Tonight Show," May 28th, in celebration of the end of Leno's run as host of the show. 

Both CDs, along with a third by new artist Bria Valente, will be available as a three disc set exclusively through Target for a price of $11.98.

The "Tonight Show" performances are part of a larger roll-out for the CD package in Los Angeles.  In an email message sent to fans who signed up for updates on lotusflow3r.com, Prince wrote, "From the 24th on, there will b a slew of NPG-related events happening around electric LAlaland.. we don't want 2 give away all the details yet, but b prepared 2 get yo groove on, numerous ways 4 numerous days. We know $ is tite but the adventures will b worth ur while! Stay 2ned 2 this outtaspacestation."

As previously reported, Prince is just the latest music legend to release new music exclusively through a major retailer. AC/DC and the Eagles were among the acts who sold millions of CDs through their partnership with Wal-Mart.

He's also the latest artist to promote new music with a multi-night run on a late night talk show.  Last week, U2 performed five nights in a row on the "Late Show with David Letterman" as the band mounted a full court press for its newly released "No Line On The Horizon" disc and upcoming world tour.  The White Stripes and the Strokes both did multiple nights of performances on the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

Hate it, love it, indifferent?

I'm digging it so far. I'm excited. It looks like he's burning himself a new website every other year... I'm looking forward to some new stuff from the little fellah.

how many cats can say this happened to them?

Gawd, his hypocrisy makes it really

LOS ANGELES - A judge has awarded nearly $58,000 to a man who claims Prince failed to pay him for editing work and unreturned equipment.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gregory Alarcon issued the judgment on Wednesday after conducting a brief trial last month that included testimony from the video editor, Ian C. Lewis.

The judgment fell well short of the $1 million in exemplary damages that Lewis was seeking. Documents show Alarcon also denied Lewis’ claim that Prince and his company broke a $25,000 computer because no receipts were provided.

Lewis sued Prince and his company, Paisley Park Enterprises, in October 2007.

Prince’s attorneys withdrew from the case and he was not represented during the trial.

Instead of worrying about Youtube and his ability to control his image—such as it is—maybe he should worry about paying his own bills. Even more telling: the lack of lawyer presence.

I was talking with a "friend" last night who has been recently converted to the Jehovah's Witness out in the LA area, and she made a very interesting comment.

Basically, I was making a bad joke about how she can now hang out with Prince, and she made the comment that Prince has been kicked out/disfellowshipped. Now, I haven't been paying much attention lately, but I find this interesting. She wouldn't say for what, but I have my guesses.

So I wonder, how much has Larry Graham been around lately? Because if he hasn't been around a lot, perhaps that is a sign that what my "friend" told me is somewhat true.

Did you expect anything less?

This is his cover of Radiohead's CREEP.

And before you Radiohead purists get all bent out of shape -- yes, he changed the lyrics. Do you really expect Prince to sing "i'm a creep"...? It's from the POV of the person singing TO the creep. Brilliant. That song was rubbish to begin with.

Check it out! And check out the other vidz from the performance, including Controversy.

Cause I know we love to see the way he looks...
