The Prince Press Conference... 5/19/00. 7:55am

Howard has been promoting this Prince press conference thing all week but he just got to it today. Prince held a press conference to announce the fact that he's no longer going to use the symbol that he has been using for the past few years. He'll now go back to being called Prince. Howard sent over a new intern by the name of Kevin to ask some questions. It was Kevin's first day so it was pretty wild for him. Howard played a little bit of the press conference before he got to Kevin's questions. Prince rambled on about his name change and eventually took questions from the press. Kevin's first question was ''Who would win in a fist fight between you and Michael Jackson?'' There was a lot of laughter from the press and Prince himself. He said ''Michael's not a fighter, he's a lover..'' and joked about it for a couple of seconds. A short time later Kevin got off his second and final question ''Why were you such a sissy in 'Purple Rain'?'' That brought the press conference to a screeching halt. They announced that the event was over and took Prince away. Kevin said they asked him to shut down his equipment before he was able to ask anymore questions. Howard thanked Kevin and moved on.


Help Please

I have this buried on a cassette somewhere....if you don't find it, take heart. It's not that great and relatively brief. Although I wonder if they ever showed this footage on Howard's E! television show??
