NPNY: [thebumpsquad] Roosevelt Pricing; Prince wants it 2 be $77.07
I have been informed it is the ROOSEVELT HOTEL that is selling the tickets at the current OVERPRICED rate since they have to Pay Prince his fee. Prince actually requested tix 2 b $77.07 There is only 1 sponsor 4 not that much and only 200 ppl versus the 1000 at the Rio. Moderator: Oh how noble! How about he take a pay cut and hook his fans up? It's not about the money right? :-p -Derek - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

NPNY: [thebumpsquad] Prince is bringing Purple back....2 Vegas
http://www.startribune.com/217/story/777249.html Prince club in Vegas? A sure bet it's a winner Prince is bringing purple back to Las Vegas, where he will open a club at which he's expected to perform two nights every weekend. Club 3121 is expected to open next month in the Rio Hotel Casino in a 30,000-square-foot space occupied by Club Rio. There has been no official announcement. There's no definite date, but we'll know more details in about two weeks, said Howard Jung, a concierge at the Rio, which is best known for Penn Teller's popular show. The 3121.com website promises a November opening and a menu of RB stars, including Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Floetry and such Twin Cities acts as Mint Condition and Kip Blackshire. Jung said that 3121, with a capacity of 1,500, will be open Thursdays through Sundays. Thursdays will be Latin night. The place also may have a restaurant. This isn't Prince's first venture in the nightclub business. He co- founded Glam Slam in 1990 in the Minneapolis warehouse district and later opened Glam Slams in Los Angeles and Miami. The out-of-town clubs closed, and the Minneapolis one is now called the Quest and Prince hasn't been involved with it for years. Early on, he occasionally performed at the Glam Slam clubs. His Vegas club takes its name from his current CD, 3121, which was released in March. After appearing on Saturday Night Live and doing about a dozen gigs as sideman with his protégé Tamar, he was expected to undertake a major concert tour this year but did not. He obviously had other plans. JON BREAM posted by callmej5 on the org. (no relation. I swear. =-)-j7) - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

NPNY: [thebumpsquad] New Official Prince site in the works?
I saw something interesting here: http://www.musictrendsetters.com/blog/2006/10/new_prince_webs.html It's not the first time they post interesting stuff. Time will tell if they are right... New Prince Website in the Works? (Editor's Note: There was no ? mark but I added it because there is no fact yet.-j7) As some of you may remember, Prince closed his NPG Music Club back in July 2006. It used to be a very trend setting medium back in February 2001 when it opened for the artist to communicate with his fan base, but over time, it lost a lot of its edge, and turned into a very controled forum, a store for over-priced merchandising, and a site that badly needed to be updated. Sources tell us that the purple one is working on something new, but so far the only peek you can take is by going to his former 3121 website. We will let you know more as soon as we are authorized to. So far, there have been rumors comparing the 3121.com site to the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas. Could Prince become the latest headliner in Vegas? That would not exactly be trend setting... And a little too predictable for an artist who's built his carreer on doing things his way, often taking his peers by surprise. Thanks 2 jer55cbs for sending this in! (I updated and added 2 ur post so it is current.-j7) - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

NPNY: [thebumpsquad] C.J.: Mani files 4 Divorce from Prince
Prince and Manuela are over. The rock star's second missus, Manuela Testolini Nelson, filed for divorce in Hennepin County District Court on May 24. Court documents obtained today indicate that she has hired Edward Winer, a great attorney, while Prince is represented by Alan Eidsness (about whom I know nothing and therefore can't assess.)... C.J.: Prince's wife, Manuela, files for divorce (as spotted on prince.org by Deafbug ) Prince and Manuela are over. The rock star's second missus, Manuela Testolini Nelson, filed for divorce in Hennepin County District Court on May 24. The rock star's second missus, Manuela Testolini Nelson, filed for divorce in Hennepin County District Court on May 24. Court documents obtained today indicate that she has hired Edward Winer, a great attorney, while Prince is represented by Alan Eidsness (about whom I know nothing and therefore can't assess.) There have been rumblings about the state of this marriage since last year. Because of rumors that they were not together and not getting along, around the time of Prince's Saturday Night Live performance with protege of the second Tamar, I made a joke on FOX9. I asked viewers whether Prince danced like a man who had hip replacement surgery or a man who was still married. The speculation about whether Prince and Manuela were actually married began at the beginning. As some may recall, Prince kicked Mayte to the curb, by reportedly saying they didn't need a contract as the framework for their relationship. Mayte and Prince wedded on Valentine's Day 1996. Since it took the genius, Minnesota-born rock legend a few years to realize his disdain for a marital contract, there was reason to doubt that he and Manuela had a legal union. But they must have, since she's filed for divorce. Many thanks to the anonymous tipster who found me in the office late Tuesday and said: You need to find out why Judge Manrique is holding up the Prince divorce papers. You need to do some research so we can see what's going on there. I have it on excellent authority that Judge Tanja Manrique thinks this gossip columnist would be critical of her for sealing a divorce file. While I await a phone call from the judge regarding this info, I can tell her that she's just plain ill-informed, dead wrong about this. Never have I written a critical word about a judge sealing a divorce file, and I won't start today. We all have a general idea about Symbolina's worth, so who needs more details? Attorney Winer is probably going to make sure that Manuela doesn't starve. And the record on Prince, who I think has written a song about how she just liked him for whom he is, should be a great help. Given the record on what a purple pain Prince can be publicly, we can all just image how much more entertaining he is in private and wish Manuela well. - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

NPNY: [thebumpsquad] BET Awards Prince stole the show twice
http://eurweb.com/story/eur27174.cfm At the BET Awards Tuesday night, Prince didn't do a performance drive-by like he did at the American Idol finale. He stayed, got comfortable and even made a heartfelt speech to accept his best male RB artist award. In a night that featured high-energy performances by Beyonce, Busta Rhymes and surprise appearances by Eminem and Janet Jackson, it was Prince who seemed to electrify the Shrine Auditorium through both of his stage appearances once during a show-stopping tribute to Chaka Khan featuring Stevie Wonder, India.Arie and Yolanda Adams; and another that actually did stop the show. Prince Chaka Khan perform during the 2006 BET Awards Meanwhile, Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige and the Gold Digger combo of Kanye West and Jamie Foxx each picked up two awards apiece to lead the roster of winners (listed below). For those who missed the show, here are the highlights: Beyonce channeled Tina Turner for her scorching performance of Déjà Vu to open the program. Boyfriend Jay-Z dipped in for his part, then promptly dipped back out. Jimmy Walker, Bernadette Stanis and Ralph Carter had no idea that their former Good Times co-star Janet Jackson was even in the building when she sashayed across the stage and joined them to present an award. Don King, waving a tiny U.S. flag, introduced the self-proclaimed king of the South, T.I. The rapper then had severe sound problems during his performance of What You Know. Jamie Foxx brought out Fantasia to perform his latest single, DJ Play A Love Song, and then threw his tongue down her throat midway through the set. Chris Brown hit folks with a little Run It then brought out Lil Wayne for Gimme That, during which he channeled MiJac's look in the Smooth Criminal video and did somersaults. Next, he climbed into a cage to perform Yo (Excuse Me Miss) and it floated over the audience toward the balcony, where he picked up a young lady and serenaded her while floating back toward the stage. Prince actually uttered sentences upon receiving his best male RB artist award. He said the honor was unexpected but appreciated nonetheless. He thanked in this order Jehovah God, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, India.Arie and Yolanda Adams for continuing to be such an inspiration in my life. Mary J. Blige sang Be Without You before unleashing her rap alter-ego Brooke to help her through a crowd-pleasing performance of Enough Cryin'. Keyshia Cole started her performance of Love in the audience and strolled her way to the stage. Diddy dissed the soundman for messing up his mic, then blamed him for destroying T.I.'s entire set before introducing his Bad Boy artist Yung Joc and joining him for a performance of It's Goin' Down. Busta Rhymes, Kelis and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and of course Spliff Star performed I Love My Chick. For the hyped performance of Touch It, Busta was joined one by one by Mary J. Blige (or shall we say, Brooke), Rah Digga, Missy Elliott, Lloyd Banks, Papoose, DMX (via the music video) and surprise Eminem (wearing a t-shirt that read Shady on the front and Proof Forever on the back). BET congratulated itself (through presenters David Banner and Vivica A. Fox) for its S.O.S. telethon that raised $14 million for the Hurricane Katrina effort. Jagged Edge presented an award in Capri pants. Steve Harvey introduced lifetime achievement award recipient Chaka Khan. Her musical tribute featured Stevie Wonder (who wrote her hit Tell Me Something Good), Prince (writer of I Feel for You), India.Arie and Yolanda Adams. They started with the opening notes of Ain't Nobody (Prince on guitar, Stevie on keys), before moving into Sweet Thing (Adams on vocals). That gave way to Tell Me Something Good, (lead vocals by Arie and Stevie, with Prince pitching in). Chaka Khan herself took the stage for Through the Fire - speaking of which, Kanye West (who sampled the song for his first hit Through the Wire), was shown in the audience recording the whole performance with his digital camera. You can't have Prince, Chaka and Stevie on the same stage and not do I Feel For You, which they did and brought the house down. The grand finale was I'm Every Woman. (Imagine if Whitney Houston had gotten herself together enough to join them onstage for that marking her big return to civilization by saluting Chaka Khan. But it wasn't to be.) BET head honcho Debra Lee and actor Danny Glover saluted Harry Belafonte with the show's Humanitarian Award. Ne-Yo performed Sexy Love, with a chair as a prop, then flowed into So Sick. OutKast presented the final award, but not before promoting their Idlewild soundtrack and film (due Aug. 22 and 25 respectively). For the closing performance, Prince re-emerged with his hair wrapped in that black scarf that ties in the front and ripped through 3121 with protégé Tamar, who was dressed in a hot pink, Asian-influenced dress and toted a silk fan. When the song ended, Damon
