Exclusive: Seven weeks of Prince in Hollywood?

Hollywood will be raining purple this summer, if current plans hold up.

Prince is expected to announce a seven-week residency at the historic Roosevelt Hotel that will include a heaping helping of music, dining and VIP guests, sources say. The stint is contingent on final approval of the contracts, which could come as early as this week. The string of shows is scheduled to start in mid-June, about a week after the 49th birthday of the man born Prince Rogers Nelson.

What the plans call for: On seven Friday nights starting June 15, the Roosevelt will close off its lobby at 9 p.m. Then, at 11:30 in the Blossom Room in front of 250 seated guests and an undetermined number of standing-room-only patrons, Prince (joined each week by special guests) will give a two-hour performance. At 2 a.m., Prince's private chef will take over the kitchen of the Roosevelt's Dakota restaurant, which will morph into an after-hours dinner club. As part of a jazz ensemble, Prince will entertain diners until 4 a.m.

Nobody's going to be asking where afterparty is, that's for sure. Ticket information might be available this week -- suffice to say these tickets will not be cheap. A one-off performance given by Prince last year at the Roosevelt attracted a star-studded crowd.

Prince last week was announced as part of a pricey concert series this summer in the Hamptons. And just two weeks ago, in announcing 21 dates this summer in London, Prince said he was taking some time off to study the Bible.

Prince will be staying at the Roosevelt all summer as he and his band rehearse for their tour.

Yes! I'm excited for everyone in LA, but what about the east coast? Prince needs to get that booty over to NYC and gives us a show and I'm not talking about that $15,000 show he's doing this summer.

Im there...period!
wait,will this be like 3121 Vegas 21+ bullcrap again?Or is this different?

The Roosevelt Hotel. Old ghosts.

Prince must like the spirit world.

That place is of it and a part in it.

oh lawd, now i got to clear my credit cards again.

oh man i wish this was on the east coast so bad.

Sounds like something for deep pockets only. Can't this guy do anything in America that costs less than $100?

I'm overdue for another 3121 experience!!!! It's time 2 make some plans & at the same time I hope I can afford the tickets.

And guess who lives 3 blocks from the Roosevelt?

MOI!

live4lust said:

For those of you from out-of-town on a tight budget who are interested in the Hollywood Roosevelt shows, I was just able to book a suite two blocks away at the Gary Coleman Motor Lodge for only $31.21 a night! Make your reservations before the place is completely booked! Woo-hoo!

(Door lock and bed linen package -- $3.121 extra per night.)
