They are getting ready to show a new interview with P on Extra. It's on now in Detroit.



#####

A link to this story complete with streaming video and a pic from the interview can be found here:

and here's the blurby blurb they posted on the Extra web site:

Spirituality is a big part of Prince's life these days. He even went so far as to insist it's the main reason he looks better than ever at age 46.

"In the Bible, there's dietary restrictions that anybody can look at and follow," he said. "And what you'll find is that your mind, body and soul are going to come into harmony a lot better. So I would advise that."

This month is the 20th anniversary of "Purple Rain," the movie that made Prince a superstar. But Prince says that while he has no plans to return to acting, he would "leave the window open" if somebody came to him with an amazing script.

So how would Prince like to be remembered? "I'm a bunch of contradictions," the superstar told us. "There's many different sides to what we do that I don't claim any one particular memory."

Enjoy!!! - Anx

He called himself a 'bundle of contradictions.' At least he's honest..

I like when AJ asked if there's anything he always takes with him when he's on the road, and Prince said: "My wife."

Maybe it's me, but I couldn't help thinking that Prince felt like he was being asked dumb questions. The interview seemed very edited. At one point he even rolled his eyes. AJ always annoyed me on 106th & Park. Maybe Prince was feeling the same way.

Okay, was it Extra or Access Hollywood I watched?

AHHHHH! So THIS is the interview that got Ajay in hot water with BET, doing a little moonlighting with Prince huh! I would have kept the day job personally.

I'm not following the dietry restrictions in the bible if it means I have to eat the jaw bone of an ass.

Hmm... thinking about what Prince said about Following the Dietry restrictions in the bible.. my husband is a pretty religious guy..... and he said they ate meat in the bible.. sacraficed animals.. etc...
But Prince does not believe in eating meat.... and in an interview he said the bible was against it?????
Hmmm good thing he said that part about being a bundle of Contradictions.. lol

Just watched the clip on QuickTime

Whew! Tough time for AJ.

The funniest was when he apparently asked Prince it he would consider acting again, and Prince replied "This is an act. I don't even want to be here."


LOL.

wouldn't that be cannibalism?

Anxiety said:

I can understand why he wouldnt want to be THERE... but i know he will continue to be here for his fans!!! I think we all want to see more concerts thats for sure!!! He certainly looks better than ever, and i love the change in his music! I love the fact that he continues to surprise people. He remains sexy no matter what he does, and i think he has got a little surprise under that sleeve for all of us!! Can't wait. MMM MMM

double DAYUMMM

AJ's ass must have really hugged his chair

Orionforever said:

He didn't say the bible was against eating meat. He just used the word "restrictions" in a general sense. A lot of the dietary restrictions for the early Christians in the bible had to do with the way food was prepared. So he wasn't saying it's not o.k. to eat meat, but he may have been alluding to the fact that we all need to do a better job of finding out where our food comes from and how we prepare it.

I can't get the damn QuickTime downloaded. The file is frickin corrupted or something

Prince is too skinny any way.

I love this side of Prince! Cause I can't stand AJ anyway. When he was at 106 and Park, everytime someone would mention Prince he would start acting all stupid and keep yelling we need to get Prince on here! And I'm thinking to myself, you got a better chance of getting snowcones in hell. Prince made him look like the real buttkisser he is. Only someone like Mariah could tolerate AJ's antics.

Thanks for the link!

Yeah I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE!! Free made herself look stupid when she asked Kanye West what cartoon character he would be and he said "Dang Free who writes these questions? I bring out a video about Jesus and you ask me about being a cartoon character." Now AJ does this stupid shit. Why would you ask him about his personal life, acting and his favorite thing to bring on the road????? You see this is what Ive been bitching about; Prince's poor media coverage. These types of questions belittle the guest's importance especially when Prince never discusses his personal life, had no real interest in acting and does not endorse any kind of products.

AJ makes me sick and I hope he is gone from 106 and Park. I find him to be ignorant and condescending. This so-called interview is no better than the one he gave to Sway on MTV.

I'm tired of this superficial bullshit. And then people wonder why he got tired of the media.

AJ's a big fan... Prince brought him up on stage during an aftershow... Prince and him are cool with each other and by the last handshake, they look like they're real cool with each other.

So how would Prince like to be remembered? "I'm a bunch of contradictions," the superstar told us. "There's many different sides to what [b]we do that I don't claim any one particular memory."[/b]

D'ja ever notice that he never takes responsibility for his actions?

It's always "our" actions.

Must be the Gemini, again.

Monday night at the show he was bad mouthing Warners, then turns around and goes on extra (a show owned by Warners part of the Aol Time Warner group)? he ain't neva lied about them contradictions.

I believe him. He looks greater than ever

I agree he looks great, but keeping it real, look closely he wears a lot of makeup.
