Latest "777 update" (various news items)

777 Update.....



hello again everyone and a very happy new year as this is the 1st update of
the new century.....xcept 4 the "rave un2 the year 2000" indemand
special...things have been rather quiet, so let's see what may be in store in
the future in news.....




item#1-It has just been reported that the vh-1 honors which in the past two
years has been women only, "vh-1 divas", will be another diva show....with a
twist.....there will be male diva's as well.....the thought being thrown
around right now is a diva contest....males versus females.....with a male
diva crowned n a female diva crowned....but expect it to change for ego's run
too high in the music field.....now 4 legal reasons....because no "contracts"
or "agreements" are signed.....vh-1 honors producers are hoping this to be
thier line-up in april; Mariah Carey, Madonna, Tina Turner, Santana, Michael
Jackson and....0(+>/the Artist.....this is vh-1's wish list....wether they
get it is another story.....Mariah, Santana and Tina Turner have been reached
and asked....It was requested thru still president of Arista, Clive Davis was told that along with Santana vh-1 would really like the Artist 2 perform at
the event.....just imagining half of these stars on stage 2gether is strictly
mind-blowing....but will this actually happen??? time will tell but on vh-1's
part, they want him there.....



item#2 -as was 1st told to update "purpleheads" and prince.org, there will be
a video released 4 the "rave un2 the year 2000" special with bonus
footage...now what will appear has yet to be disclosed but xpect at least 30
minutes of bonus interview and performance clips.....it was slated for
release in feb. but it is not looking likely.....




item#3 -as was also reported to "purpleheads" and prince,org was that 0(+>
was going to crackdown on ebay's auction of bootleg and promotional
items....fed up with the growing amounts of unreleased material that was
available for auction, cd's, video's etc., ebay has been canceling all bids
from which they say paisley park enterprises alerts them that there are
illegal unreleased material being sold by the autioner...so ebay has been
freezing auctions at a very high rate.....we here at the 777 update feel bitter and at the same time vindicated because we try and break stories
before any "official or unofficial clubs"...so when we broke the story,
people thought it was another false posting on certain websites.....and we
would like to reiterate that in the past year and a half the 777 update has
been in effect, we have never posted anything untrue.....now on other
smaller sites like yahoo, unreleased material is still being sold.....the
best bet there is is to trade unreleased materials among collector's and if
you like, email us back and we will send you a link to a trade and other 0(+>
forum chatroom.....



item #4-there has been much speculation on what the next single from "rave"
will be.....the speculation comes from arista and NPG records not knowing
wether to release "so far, so pleased" or "hot wit u" or "man o' war" or to
release 2 singles at one time.....remixes of hit wit u were made around the
time of the "rave 2000" special and has been serviced to 2 stations.....1 in
MPLS and the other in Detroit, so far of the 2, only MPLS has played the new
version of "hot wit u" full on with 0(+> singin lines from "nasty girl" with
the line "treat u like the freak of the week" repeated several times.....as
soon as word breaks on the single that will be used...u will be fully known....."rave" is in need of another single, as good as the video is 4
"greatest romance", having a video ready when it is serviced to radio can do
nothing but help.....



we would like to thank everyone who has fully supported the 777 update and
look forward to giving the information u crave b4 it hits.....we will be
taking a 2 week vacation in the month of feb. and may not be able to break
news if something happens during that time.....a tour and television
appearances are still in the works.....although he does not believe in
time...only time will tell when these things will happen...so it is wait n
see.....hope your new year is truly blessed....and Michael Irvin.....wether
or not u play Football again...thank you so much for the memories and the
championships.....much luv 2 all.....j7
