If I was Prince and I saw this thread, I definitely wouldn't tour anymore and I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT do anymore Paisley partys. That's how much you scare me.

For real! I mean, the man's just chillin' in Hollywood, and for the past two months, there have been parties going on non-stop, what with all of the award shows and going-ons! This is NOT the first time he's had invite-only affairs, people!! I just hope that whatever he releases next isn't something that "panders" to the crowd, so to speak.

I am just saying -- he better not forget (and I really don't think he will) those of us that have been supporting him over the last decade (both supporting his music AND his finances) while many other people -- Hollywood stars included -- wrote him off. I paid the $100 a year to join the NPGMC because I love the music. I paid to go to the celebrations because I love the music. I bought The Rainbow Children and N.E.W.S because I love the music. Prince honored our devotion by giving us "perks" like access to Paisley parties, after parties, and exclusive music. It was a fair trade, if you ask me. Call me a "crazy fam" if you'd like, but I WILL feel betrayed if he falls through on his end of the NPGMC bargain and just in general, doesn't have the integrity to recognize those of us that have really supported him.

Prince is a smart man. While I might feel this way when I hear about these parties, I do believe deep down he know's what's what and there's no need to worry. But "envy" isn't logical, so it's hard not to feel a little something, even though it might seem silly.

And I DO have a life. I just happen to be a big Prince fan.

Why is Prince changing?

Ephesians 4:20-24

20 But YOU did not learn the Christ to be so, 21 provided, indeed, that YOU heard him and were taught by means of him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that YOU should put away the old personality which conforms to YOUR former course of conduct and which is being corrupted according to his deceptive desires; 23 but that YOU should be made new in the force actuating YOUR mind, 24 and should put on the new personality which was created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty.

Colossians 3:9
9 Do not be lying to one another. Strip off the old personality with its practices, 10 and clothe yourselves with the new [personality], which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it

Damn, am I the only one not jealous?

Again...Jeff Stinkin' Gordon??!!

some of you seem to have forgotten what a dream year 2004 was for the fans.

It wasn't such a "dream year" for us non-US fans

aw, let the man have his fun. he's probably just doing it do wheel and deal while showing wifey a good time. my theory is that he saw 'the aviator' and he's on a glory-days howard hughes trip.

Yeah, Jeff begged me to give him MY invite. He just needed a dose of the funk (Gordon is actually a closet-funkateer. He never misses P-Funk when they come through town) I felt sorry for the dude, so I gave it to him. I can always catch Prince any old time I feel like. Heck, maybe I'll call him up and see if he and Mani wanna come to dinner with me & the family.

Toni's Oscar Night At Prince's House » Send Article to a Friend » Print Article
Toni's Oscar Night ended with her hanging out at a party at Prince's house. How did this happen? You've got to read this.

When you come to Hollywood you think that the whole world is going to change for you.


Boy Did it!!!!

I had a friend of mine come in from Chicago to celebrate her Birthday LA style and due to her, I myself, had one of the greatest nights of my life. Because of her and her connections with Hollywood Royalty I was accepted to go to the after party with no other than the man himself... PRINCE!!!!!

Now I really did not think that I would be able to get in. But I was assured that my friend of 9 years Trevian could make it happen. She has always been in my corner and working for me to make the connections I need in Hollywood to make it happen. Now Sunday started out with a beautiful brunch at the Ivy here in West Hollywood . I had the pleasure of eating with Chicago hometown Juanita Jordan (Michael Jordan's wife) and Cedric the Entertainer's wife as well as the awesome Tenisha AKA Pam from the hit show Martin. Wow, and totally fun. Champagne and great conversations were flowing for over 3 Hours. Now as the Oscars started to draw near Trevian and I came back to my apartment complex to watch the Oscars unfold.

As we watched Trevian's phone was blowing up with calls to invites to the After Parties. Now I did not think in a million years that she would want to take me. But she did!

With Carl, AKA cockroach, (Martin Lawrence show) called and invited us to Jamie Foxx' party at a club called Hollywood and Vine. I of course was late and did not get in, but that was alright, I waited for the crew to come out because they said they had another surprise. "We're going to Prince's house!!"

WOW! WOW! WOW!

I knew this was a lifetime opportunity and I had to take it. Totally nervous, we set out to go to the party of all parties. And believe me this place is awesome. The front gates of the estate have the legendary symbol for Prince and security was tight. We arrived at around 12 am . We knew the party was going on until 6 am . When the gates opened after a major security check and code names and words and we were in. I drove up the massive driveway with just pure excitement.

I could not believe that I was about to walk into the home of a legend. As you approach the front door there was yet another huge symbol over the entryway. Lined with velvet and candles the house was laid out with an Asian theme. Really Zen materials and then you could go two ways. The main space was set up with a stage and equipment with live music. I found out that Prince likes to perform for his guests. OH MY GOD!!! Prince was going to be singing in front of me ... 5 feet away!

I turned around to have the man himself standing right in front of me. I tried to keep cool as I was introduced. He shook my hand and said welcome enjoy the festivities. Anything you need please ask. Oh my god! Oh my god!!

I was just blown away. Now he is not a big man, I probably had a good 5 inches on him, but I was prepared for that. He pointed to his game room with a huge pool table and said feel free if you like to play pool, and the bar is over here, and the chefs are cooking if you're hungry, enjoy. Then he did the coolest thing ever; he said, enjoy yourself Toni! Wow!

I walked into the Kitchen and the chef walked me around the spread as he placed the food on a plate for me and then had some one bring me a glass of Champagne . Wow!

With my good friend with me, and being with Carl, the night was already awesome! I met a legend! I was in this man house, Wow!

We finished eating to a wonderful DJ that was spinning mixes of all of Prince's music, of course and proceeded to walk outside by the pool. The back yard was lined with Purple lights and a huge Symbol hanging in front of the pool house. It was reflecting all over the back yard and the water. With one of the most beautiful views of LA, of course, this is Prince; I would not expect anything less from the man. Now I was outside for a bit and just trying to soak up the view and everything that was happening. I met some really cool people out there and we were just laughing for a while. It was cool. Now I know that the true party does not really happen until 2 so I was not about to go home. What I did not know is that it was 2 am and I had been outside for about an hour. I walked back in to see the most amazing thing ever. Spike Lee was standing by the door and saw me coming in so he opened the door for me. Oh my god! Then as I said thank you I went back to the Bar to find my friends and sure enough there was Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, And Salma Hayek laughing and talking about something. I just smiled, and walked away to find my friends. Then I walked around to the band starting and there was Pamela Anderson with Jamie Foxx. And then Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philipe, I looked around again to see Clive Davis talking with Jeff Gordon. Regina King was talking with my girl Trevian and motioned for me to come over. As I met her she introduced me to Chris Rock and Chris Tucker. I was talking with these guys for a bit and they were awesome.

Then she walked me over to Jamie Foxx and introduced me. He would not let that Oscar go. He carried it all night long.

Clive Owen (Oscar Nominees for best supporting actor) was standing with the totally hot, French actor Erik Per Sullivan (Unfaithful). I got a chance to speak with them for a bit and toast to a great night. That was awesome. Oh my god there so hot!!!!! Erika Christensen (Swimfan) and I were dancing to Prince singing his heart out and then there were so many other celebrities there that I started to lose count, until The Black Eyed Peas with Toni Tony Tone got up there with Prince and sang and danced. It was amazing. I just was blown away with how wonderful and nice everyone was. I just could not believe that I was there.

I know that it truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to be blessed with my friends. If it were not for Trevian I would have never been there. Thank You Trevian for memories that will be with me until the day I die.

Wow, I truly struck the lotto.

Toni Ferrari (Paradise Hotel)

I'm such a fan of both Prince and Nascar, I can't beleave Gordon was @ Prince house partying. That is so cool. Now Prince needs to go to a race.

i so feel that too.. but not hating that they get to party too, but he has got to miss the realness of his regular fans rather than the hollywood fakeness but maybe the selectivness means not all the fake one are at his parties.... i have been quite sad with being just left in minnesota.. no parties nothing whilst he just do it up in the hills there. Mani gets to just mingle with the big stars....i remember we use to call paisley and ask 'is there a party tonight?" god i miss those good ol days.. we sure did have a ball for many years....all good things come to end i suppose.. maybe he will get bored someday and come back home home.
