Tavis Smiley has reported via Twitter that he is "about to start taping conversation with PRINCE"
Wonder when the air date is?

Also check out "EcnirP07" on twitter. Prince post daily:)

U kno u gotta give the link to this right...

Isn't he taping the Ellen show right now?

I thought dr funkenberry said it was with Bria, not Prince afterall?

Judging from his Twitters (is that what you call them?), this is a surprise.

Your TV Is About To Turn Purple

Tavis Smiley recorded his show with Prince earlier today.-Dr.FB

BTW Prince is on way to tape Ellen now.

Update; Prince just did a soundcheck of “Crimson & Clover” at Ellen. Hmm. Is that who I think it is in the band?

Bria is on Tavis--April 28th (She's listed on Tavis' PBS show lineup). Hopefully now Prince will be too!

Mr. Smiley said Bria was gonna be interviewed, but he did not say Prince wasn't gonna do his interview anymore.
Some ah y'all almost had heart attacks!

No offense to Bria but let's hope it's someone cooler and more noteworthy than her!

It's almost here...Just one more day...Lindsay...Prince...Me...together again.

Michael B and Sonny T played on the track, and dollars to donuts, they're playing it live w/ him, like they did for "Dreamer". What would be hot is to get Tommy Barabarella back in there, and get the best line up of NPG together once again. He was the only one lacking for "Dreamer".

I don't like him so I'm skipping this one.

Taping 2 shows! Cool.

Update: This is what it says on Tavis' Twitter (11 minutes ago):

http://twitter.com/tavissmiley

"Set your DVRs -- conversations with PRINCE airing Monday and Tuesday of next week on PBS. Working on getting a sneak peak for you."

Two shows WORTH. They will probably cut it down to one.

i hope this is true...that the conversations will be with PRINCE, that is.

i don't mind if we get a little bit of chat time with bria as well, but i think it's time for prince to pull up a chair and talk for a minute.

Oh, yeah.
Tavis Smiley isn't one to exaggerate. Bria isn't getting TWO nights on his show.

bonnie184 said:

could you imagine if she did? these message boards would like up like a damn christmas tree.

Anxiety said:

Yes, apparently itis true, because I got this from Tavis' twitter msg, 9 minutes after it was posted, and I went back to look at it again, 2 minutes later and the message was still there. Matter of fact, the msg is still there.

that's awesome. i was a little disappointed when word was going around that prince wouldn't be talking on the tavis smiley show. i think prince is very comfortable doing interviews with him, and tavis has a way of asking revealing questions without making it seem invasive. i'm looking forward to this more than any of the other TV appearances so far this year.
