Prince being Prince, he surprised everyone this week with a tour announcement (via his backing band, 3rd Eye Girl, on a podcast hosted by Dr. Funkenberry—yes, these are all real names and rather Prince-appropriate): The Purple One will be hitting the West Coast for 28 separate shows in seven cities.
It appears that director Baz Luhrmann is taking the slight release-date delay in the release of his ludicrously 3-D adaptation of The Great Gatsby, by expanding the film’s soundtrack. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire in the story that is often viewed as the great American novel, one would expect a...
Prince booting Kim Kardashian offstage during his Madison Square Garden concert Monday night is awesome. But having the actual footage of Prince telling Kim Kardashian to "Get off the stage!" is close to priceless.
After being pulled on stage by Prince, Kardashian basically froze. All that performing talent on display in her Carl's Jr. TV ad was apparently...
Looks like Prince fans weren’t able to enjoy the Super Bowl revelry last weekend as much as, say, those people who inexplicably love Tron and orgies of shameless lowest common denominators of pop music. According to Entertainment Weekly, the Purple One was set to perform a Friday Super Bowl pre-show, a pre-show that never happened.

Prince sends us off into the weekend on a high note! The music legend held a press conference on Thursday evening at Harlem's Apollo Theater to announce Welcome 2 America, a new tour beginning in December.

Because he’s one of the most gifted musicians in pop music in the past thirty years (but certainly not because the resultant crush of endless amounts of money, fame, adulation, hangers-on, yes men, and sycophants have left him totally alienated from reality while conversely bloating his ego to point of making decisions that just make no sense), Prince can pretty much do...

We all know how much Prince loves the Twin Cities. Just take a listen to the fight song he wrote for the Minnesota Vikings before the Super Bowl. Well, he's still tight with his hometown. So tight enough that a Minneapolis radio station was the first place to debut a new song of his. The track, "Cause and Effect" is a lot to take in under just five...
The Super Bowl is less than a month away and many are excited for the big event which will happen on February 7th. These many people include musician, Prince. Apparently, he was so excited about Minnesota Vikings' big win last weekend that he went ahead and wrote a fight song for the team to get everyone pumped up.
The song is titled, "Purple and Gold," and...

Prince is sticking to his guns when it comes to not releasing his upcoming album through a major label, but that doesn't mean he's averse to letting corporate America help him do it. Beginning March 29th, a three disc set which includes two albums of new material (Lotusflow3er and MPLSound) and an album none of us would have spent money on otherwise...

Prince prepares for his three albums through a gay bible study group. Interesting. Then again, he is Prince... Always expect the unexpected.
Röyksopp is in the studio and working away on their upcoming album Junior: "If Melody A.M was a relaxed journey inwards on a Sunday afternoon--and The Understandingwas more uptempo, with more vocals and a hint of melodic...
Prince has huge aspirations for 2009, planning to release not one, not two, but THREE new albums over the course of the year (and lord knows the world needs three new Prince albums).
