No offense to Dr. Funkenberry, who can't even spell Rosario Dawson's name correctly, but has news of the afterparty appeared anywhere more reputable? Reputable among celeb gossip blogs, that is?

Anthony Michael Hall & Dane Cook aren't exactly A Listers, are they?


Not many that mattered, obviously. Or more would have been mentioned here.

it does and i highlighted the parts of ur post that i agree with the most. i feel u about how others around complain that he didn't do this or that, got that after witnessing the mind blowing per4mance in NYC at the palladium. after we're drenching with funk sweat, incredible music and our jaws dropped in awe not wanting the night 2 end..someone has 2 ruin the party by moaning that he didn't do LRC rolleyes His career didn't begin with 1999 and end with purple rain. there is a lot of music that the man has produced and created that haven't gotten their shine on like they need 2 b. hence after listening 2 the aftershows in london last year, i cherrish those more than the main set cause he was able 2 flex his legs and b creative.

thumbs up!

Your right the whole story is made up. The party did not take place. All of the newspapers and websites made up the story. eek

"All" of them? I'm only saying it didn't receive much coverage. Certainly not as much as he'd have liked. That's very clear to anyone who takes the time to remove their lips from Prince's ass.

Stevie & P - sounds great, but have to say I'm more interested in the Beverley Knight reference - has she joined the band?!?!


How for one min can you be more interested in her than him and Stevie... your head needs reading. Put it this way, her career was never what she wanted, but she can sing. So that will prob be her life now, backing singing.

Beverly left Dome Records and they'd done a hell of a lot for her (made her). Sum num naa (serves her right)!

They're still making some money off her stuff old and new though. wink

No disrespect to Stevie, it's just that I was never really that aware of him until "I just called..." which was no great introduction!! Beverley Knight is the UKs foremost black/soul (whatever you want to call it) artist and I'm a fan. No more, no less.

Prince obviously appreciates her talents.

Prince....and STEVIE onstage together? omfg


Calm down, they did that a couple of years ago too.



The Chaka Khan BET Tribute was the first time I think, but they did it again last year during Stevie Wonder's MSG concert. I'm curious about what John Legend did....

actually the 1st time was back in 1994 at the LA Glam Slam
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

There is no doubt that Prince is a musical genius. He also knows what the ladies like, Thats why I am obsessed with listening and watching. So putting his perfection aside (don't hate me) Who is the new girlfriend? It's killing me? cool

That is literally a fricken' dream night. I think I would have forgotten to breathe.

Well, the doctor's invite came and all the hype was exceeded, surpassed and left me grinning from ear to ear. People in attendance were Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Jude Law, Javier Bardem, Brett Ratner, Spike Lee, Eva Longoria Parker, Tilda Swinton, Roserio Dawson, Chris Tucker, Forest Whitaker, P. Diddy, Anthony Michael Hall, Kate Beckinsale, John Legend and Dane Cook, who raced to be by the front of the stage.

There was one other person but we will leave that for later.

No photos were taken inside the ouse at the request of the host.

This house is amazing. Decorated great and just a great atmostphere. Must have been hundreds of people there.

A comedian from def comedy jam opened up the events and a group from Las Vegas called moseik played a capella for 15 minutes.

Prince took the stage shortly after 1:30 A.M. and the stage was so tiny, I don't know how they fit all those horn players and those twin dancers on there. Heard from someone this is the same band he has had for a few years. The room was very small and intimate and felt to me like a true house party. Music bouncing off the walls was great.

The Prince of Hollywood was wearing an aqua blue one number suit and just tore it up. Playing thru a cover of "Be Happy" and a collection of his hits such as "1999", "I Feel For You", "Controversy", "A Love Bizzare", "Sexy Dancer", and a cover of "Le Freak" with Beverly Knight and Marva King and Shelby J. (If these names are wrong, blame the person who was screaming their names within ear shot.)

In all honesty, he could have left after that and I would have been smiling. But no...it did not end there. My mouth dropped next. Being helped to the stage is the one and only Stevie Wonder!!!! Stevie said something along the lines that he always wanted to make up a song with Prince right on the spot and that is what they did. 2 of the greatest musicians of all time, making a new song right then and there. Amazing. What followed next was a 30 minute jam session between the two and the whole band. Classics such as "Superstition", "Thank You For Lettin Me B Mice Elf Agin" from Sly & The Family Stone along with other Stevie jams. By the end of that jam session, it had the young girls from the hills of Beverly saying "this is the greatest night of my life...ever!"

The funk did not slow down as John Legend and Doug E. Fresh joined our most royal host who somehow in all of that changed outfits on us into a 70's super cool brown n white number. The songs just kept coming for another hour or so. A song called "Shhh, we gotta break it on down" to "Musicology", "Cream", and Roserio Dawson getting on down in the back to "You Got The Look".

This was the one n only party to be at. No one throws a party like Prince. NO. ONE. From pastries and other niblets of great food being passed out to the doctor's favorite, an open bar. Every server and waitress was as pleasant as can be. The host would walk around and let loose on the dance floor whenever he felt with a very beautiful companion there as well. No drunk divas, no hollywood party boys. Just a couple of hundred new friends having a great time.

Oh by the way, for all those rumors we are hearing about the Partyman having hip surgery; He was jumping up and down all night, higher than almost everybody. Basically, he was out grooving everyone. The Dr.'s prognosis is this: I see more parties in his future than operating tables.

For those who got the invite and made it, you know how great this was. For those who got the invite and skipped it, you need to schedule an appointment with me because it is obvious you need your head examined. If the Icon throws any parties in the future and you are lucky to get the invite, clear your calendar, and make sure you are there. Nothing on earth as good as a Prince House Party.-Dr. F.B.
