Extras actor wants Prince for show.......... http://www.rte.ie/aertel/307-01.html
Extras writer and star Stephean Merchant has said he would like to get singer Prince to appear in the final episode of the comedy series. Speaking on radio station Heart,Merchant said that the finale would probably be recorded before Christmas but that he and co-writer Ricky Gervais had not yet planned a script. The comedy star said "There's almost certainly going to be a Christmas special.Ricky's on tour at the moment so we haven't even begun to sit down to write it and talk about it" "I don't know if we'll go for him but I'd love to get Prince.I'm such a Prince fan," Merchant said. "I don't know what he's doing as we speak - is he lying in some sort of purple hammock just strumming a guitar,being fed cherries?" "I have no concept.Does he unload the dishwasher?Does he have a pair of slippers?I don't know anything about Prince," he said. | |

Ok, so the guy's a Prince fan. What makes him think P will make an appearance on his show? I swear, if every fan got Prince to do something for them, the man wouldn't have time to breathe! 
Not to mention, it doesn't sound like the man knows much about Prince's current endeavors. He hasn't exactly been lounging in a hammock lately! If this article is his way of appealing to Prince, I don't think it's going to work. [Edited 3/26/07 9:47am] Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

[Edited 3/26/07 9:47am] Some people think they are huge fans simply because they liked Purple Rain and Kiss, even though they haven't followed anything he's done since. And in a way, who's to say they're not still qualified as big fans? This is practically the same thing Merchant said about a year ago when asked the same question. Now again we'll get a load of 'Prince to appear on Extras' threads... | |

A Christmas special??? I think not. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

Extra is a hot show that has had some of the hugest stars of today appear on it...one of the show stars loves prince and is giving him big ups and you all turn this sh*t into a negative? for f*cks sake.

I never said he wasn't a huge fan. I just said that he must not be up to date on Prince if he doesn't know where Prince has been lately. If he would have done 2 seconds of research, he would have found out that Prince is in Vegas. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

Oh I see what you mean. I wasn't taking it that seriously.
I've never even seen the show, so I really don't care if he does it or not. [Edited 3/26/07 16:20pm] Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |
