Eonline: Prince Ready to Rock on Oscar Night

Prince Ready to Rock on Oscar Night

Today 2:30 PM PST by Marc Malkin

Prince plans to have one of Tinseltown's best performers at his annual late night Oscar bash—himself!

The Purple One is opening up his home after the Academy Awards for a super-VIP party and is planning to perform for the guests who manage to stay awake until the wee hours.

Last year's session, which included jams with Stevie Wonder and John Legend in the middle of his living room, didn't get started until 1:30 a.m.

Guests at the soiree included freshly minted Oscar winners Marion Cotillard, Tilda Swinton and Javier Bardem, who danced with his still-undercover girlfriend, Penélope Cruz. Sean Penn, Kate Beckinsale, Eva Longoria Parker, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Rosario Dawson and Brett Ratner were also there.

About 300 folks were let in, but "it's going to be more exclusive this year," a source familiar with the party planning tells me.

As I reported yesterday, Madonna and Demi Moore will once again be hosting a private afterparty with Guy Oseary at Oseary's home. Vanity Fair returns after a one-year hiatus with a smaller-than-usual fete at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Sir Elton John's annual gala takes place again at the Pacific Design Center and will include a live auction that benefits the music legend's AIDS foundation (as do ticket sales to the party).

Mercedes-Benz is moving its annual viewing and afterparty from the Four Seasons Hotel to the Montage Beverly Hills. Lindsay Lohan's DJ girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, will provide music for expected guests like Amy Adams, Marisa Tomei, Patrick Dempsey and Ben Stiller, among others.

I was hoping that Prince would be performing at the Oscars themselves to

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Purple Rain". That would have been great for

both Prince and the Oscars. It would have been massive for Prince in terms of

promotion, and the Oscars would be getting an Oscar winner and the best live

act on the planet.

I heart skipped a beat when I read the title of the post. I know the live

performances at the Oscars are the songs nominated, but this would have been

really special!

Well, what about last year, then?? He did the same thing last year and nothing happened afterwards!!!!! No, tour, nothing!!!!

The thing is, Coldplay now have the same clout 2 perform at Hollywood A-List parties, but they put their fans first, cos they are back touring again now, instead of hanging around LA kissing Hollywoods ass!!!!

Whats Princes age got 2 do with it???? If u think that Prince isnt touring cos of his age, then what about Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, etc.????

And Madonna for that matter as well!!!!!

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

So let me get this straight. You feel that his wanting to have an afterparty is him wanting to kiss Hollywoods ass?
I guess next time I have a party and incite people in my neighborhood it will be because I want to kiss the neighborhoods ass also.
Lawd!

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

i don't even read these reports anymore. i know that these parties
are uber cool and i am jealous to the ultimate max when i read the
reports mentioning drunk, cat fighting celebs on the toillet whilst
joni mitchell and stevie wonder are jamming with prince in his very
living room.

but how many times does anyone want to read about this when prince
never makes us a part of it?

i so hope that on his new website he will release shows like these
spontaneous and intimate gigs of legends jamming together. but we
have been reading these reporst on npgmc, 3121 and funkenberry for
so long now with 0 net result for us mere mortals that i doubt he
will ever release any of this stuff.

reading about one or two cool parties is all fine but it just gets
a bit much when you have to read this kind of stuff every few days
about rare performances of incredibly cool songs with legendary or
reclusive artists which you know you'll never ever hear or see.
