You can google her but I think she is a columnist and works for Ebony. She is the lady in the piece on the Africa channel who interviews George Lopez.

Mr. Goodnight.

Perfect example of Prince's new lyrics brutally attached to fit a song. The music is generic but innocuous enough, but the way the lyrics are square pegged in the round hole is utterly painful to the ear.

Here's a recent article on her:

Harriette Cole

Creative Director
Ebony

After spending many years in the fashion industry as a model, Harriette Cole realized that while she had always been interested in fashion, she had a deeper yearning to expand her career beyond the runway.

From age 12, she knew writing was what she wanted to do, and so she went in a different direction with her career—magazines. She had always paid attention to magazines, so she thought, “I could have more influence and power by being on the other side of the camera.”

As Creative Director for Ebony, Cole is responsible for the design and layout of the magazine. She started getting published while attending Howard University. As a liberal arts major, she also served as a fashion writer for the school’s paper, The Hilltop. It was also there that she found a different kind of motivation for her career. While in school,
she said, students then were not encouraged to get internships.

“We were encouraged to go to grad school,” she said. However, graduate school was not of interest to her at the time. Instead, she created internships for herself, built her portfolio, made plans to move to New York City after graduation, and gave herself one year to secure a job.

She embraced the lessons taught by her mother: “To always treat people well and to keep good contacts.” This sentiment helped Cole to launch out on a path to follow her vision, and the rest, as they say, is history.

For her, giving up was never an option. And she knew there would be tough decisions to make.

“When people are starting out, they do not realize how much sacrificing they will have to do to make it,” she said. She welcomed the challenges, roomed with the cousin of her Delta Sigma Theta sorority sister in Queens and followed her passion to Essence magazine. There she took a job in the lifestyle department (even though friends told her she was crazy and should have taken a job as a business writer at Fairchild).

“It is really important to have a goal,” she said, “But it is also important to have patience. Your goals will not always manifest the way you expect them.”

And that is something she knows firsthand. She has embarked on a professional journey that is the result of who you know and remaining flexible. It includes: traveling the world with Essence; starting her own company, resulting in spending some time teaching etiquette to music industry artists at Uptown Records, DefJam, Motown and more; becoming a nationally syndicated advice columnist for the New York Daily News; and writing six best-selling books. The list goes on and on.

The unbelievable dreams and desires of her childhood have come true, and she believes that the same is possible for others who are interested in being in the magazine publishing industry.

From where she sits now at Ebony magazine, she sees a long future for the industry. Magazines, she said, are not going anywhere, but as the industry changes; companies like Johnson Publishing Company, Inc. are creating more ways to make use of all of the arms of media to strengthen its iconic brand.

“Ultimately the way the flagships keep the flagships strong is by keeping the business viable,” she said.

And in the area of diversity, it comes down to a change in the mindset of those that make the decisions, the higher-ups. And in order to make that happen, she said, it is the job of the reader to make noise.

“As long as readers are quiet, then the publications are not going to do a thing,” she said.

So, um, what was said in the interview?

LMAO!! They've certainly been begging for people to get tickets, including Prince during the show begging people to get tickets to more shows before going home for the night. Selling tix for $10 at the last minute is when things really started to look bad and desperate.

I think he really overestimated his appeal if he thought he was going to sell out 21 straight nights. Great for the fans that live nearby, though. But that's about it.
