Yo here ya go...The actual Prince text in this week's Entertainment Weekly



66 Prince

HOT TICKET
AGE 49
WHY HIM

When Prince took the stage during halftime at the Super Bowl this year, it seemed as though he'd follow game-day tradition and offer a gaudy, showy rehash of his Purple Rain heyday or, worse, a PR-driven stunt รก la Janet Jackson. But to the amazement of the rain-soaked Miami audience, the funkster, clad in a do-rag and a powder blue suit, blazed through stripped-down versions of classics like "Let's Go Crazy" as well as covers of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" and, most surprisingly, Foo Fighters' "Best of You." Prince was back.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NEWS IN THE WORLD

In May, Prince announced a staggering 21 shows at London's O2 Arena (formerly the Millennium Dome) beginning Aug. 1 and sold 140,000 tickets in 20 minutes. He also reportedly promised dance-till-dawn after-parties in London clubs, plus appearances from heirs to his soulful crown, including Amy Winehouse. But the Minneapolis-born maestro is confirming what his fans have known even during his downturns: He is the greatest living pop performer. As Prince himself put it in "Housequake": "Shut up already. Damn."

Also cool in this same issue...the #1 Starsd They Love is the cheerleader chick from Hero's. The pic of her in her room is in 50's style...Elvis, Marlyn Monroe, and James Dean posters...mixed with other people they love thrown around the room. On the floor next to the record player are Prince singles laying around...Mountians, U Got the Look, and Sign o the Times.
