He was at a club. A club that (presumably) doesn't serve food at that late hour. So he had some brought in. Because he was hungry. Because he didn't eat dinner at the Time party.

If someone brings me food from a place other than where I am, I would hope it they'd cover it (with Saran Wrap or something else) for the trip.

Here's a report of what happened at the restaurant from someone who was there.

I almost took you seriously before I scrolled down to the video.

I know, right? Like he just couldn't pick up that bowl and slurp from it like the rest of us silverware-eschewing troglodytes.

Vegans wont eat fish, vegetarians CAN... Most dont, but there are some who eat fish and eggs...

JOYJOY said:

Actually...I heard Prince was a Vegan, meaning he doesn't eat any meat or dairy products. That includes fish, milk and cheese. That's a rather stricter version of vegetarianism.

SherryJackson said:

Of course. Its generally well known that Prince is vegan, he's confirmed as much in his own songs. "Animal Kingdom", from "The Truth" being the most blatant;

"That's why I don't eat
Red meat or white fish,
Don't give me no blue cheese"

clearly indicating that he is vegan.

And, in "Joint2Joint" on Emancipation,

"You don't even know what cereal I like,
Wrong! Cap'n Crunch.....with soya milk,
Cos cows are for calves"

again, showing that he won't consume dairy products (which anyone but a vegan, or someone who is lactose intolerant, would).

From this thread: http://prince.org/msg/7/288549



"Call My Name" was debuted live on a radio station (I can't remember which one). But in the morning show that was debuting the album Musicology, Prince actually phoned in for a live interview.

In the interview the radio DJ's asked him what he had for breakfast. Prince answered "eggs".

Now there are three postulations that could be possibly derived from his answer. First, Prince is not truly a vegan as he claimed in the Rave Un2 the Joy Fanastic era, or that he's swapped his diet from a vegan diet to a vegetarian diet. One could speculate that he did this once Mayte left the marriage cause he no longer needed the supple, velvety skin of a vegan to impress Mayte. Moreover, Mannuella, being as homely as she was would accept Prince just the way he was, with rough, dry, non-vegan skin covered in a layer of expensive MAC makeup. But I seriously doubt, Prince swapped his allegiance to veganism if he was indeed a vegan to begin with. Prince has proven that once he's committed to something, (like God), it's a theme he carries with him throughout his life--sort of like hair relaxers, bad wigs, and perms (these things will always be associated with Prince).

The second is that he altogether lied about being a vegan. There are many reasons why one could speculate on this, from him wanting to seem more earnest about animal rights than he really was, possibly so he could win a PETA award since we all know Rave wasn't going to win him any other awards. But I don't think this theory is true either. If Prince wanted to win an award, he could easily write an award winning album--yes, he's still got the touch whether you folks believe it or not.


Which brings us to the final scenario: He just flat out lied about having eaten eggs that morning. I think this is the most likely scenario cause Prince has a tendency to dodge questions--even very non-intrusive, simple, questions. If an interviewer asks Prince, "what inspired you to write 3 Chains of Gold", Prince would simply lie and say, "God did", when in reality he was probably masturbating to pictures of Freddy Mercury while listening to Queen's Bohemian Rapsidy. Of course, I'm not even going to touch on the possibility that he's been lying about his sexuality either as that's a topic for it's own series of threads or a new forum. But the simple matter is that it doesn't matter what the question is, if the question is of a personal nature, even on a very innocent, non-intrusive level, Prince will go in to politician mode and answer the question he wished you asked him instead of what you actually asked him, or he'll just resort to a quick, convenient lie.


And why wouldn't Prince lie? We all lie? We learn to lie at the age of 3 according to the latest science reports--it's all part of self-actualization.

Prince even mentions, in his song Do U Lie that he himself lies. "Do you lie? I lie" he says in a manner one could imagine Richard Simmons using when flirting with David Letterman.


So no.. Prince does not eat eggs! He simply doesn't.


.... so my take is that Prince could possible well be a vegan (who knows?), but that because he's so devoutly religious now and his religion doesn't require it. And because he's prone to very radical gear shifting when it comes to ...well, anything... that it is at least possible that he's become some variation of a vegetarian or that he's adopted a 'regular' diet again. Who knows?

I would imagine whatever diet he's choosing to eat, he's doing so with extreme moderation. The boy is skinnier now by far than during Musicology, and he's about as skinny or as on par with his frame when he was doing the heroine-chic look during the Gold Experience days.

We also know he went to the club to play a little bit and maybe he did not want to be late getting to the club. We just do not know all the details.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the ridiculous indignation being shown here over a piece of crap, tabloid, sensationalising the most irrelevant detail, piece of "journalism".

Shock that his food was wrapped?!

Thinking he's a "tool" for "he sang along to "Controversy" but kept his back to the crowd to avoid fans trying for a photo" - you've got to be a tool to swallow that surreptitious line! How would this "journalist" know why he had his back to the crowd? Did he tell them before he got on stage? Did he announce it to the crowd?! Perhaps he didn't want to be in the limelight so much? Maybe there were sound issues and he was watching one of his band members. Maybe he was deliberately doing it for effect - he is a performer! Who knows why he did it? The reporter is just sensationalising it in a weak attempt to make it a salient point and to substantiate the presentation of him as a weirdo when, in fact, they're really just twisting quite normal, reasonable things. Bart claiming "30+ years" of evidence - yet, in this quoted example, there is not of that infamous, "bizarre" behaviour on show.

He really can't do anything without people getting their knickers in a right old twist. Doesn't sound like he was rude to anybody. Didn't play the "diva". Ate seperately as he's vegan and that wasn't a vegan menu. Played his gigs and kept himself to himself. And he still gets people here digging at him.

All celebs are not created equal. Prince was more equal than the other Time 100 luminaries honored Tuesday night at the Time Warner Center.

While Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Judd Apatow mingled during the cocktail hour with the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, the fuchsia-favoring funkster sequestered himself offstage.

Prince also declined to take his seat at Table 5 for lobster salad and filet mignon, missing Bill Clinton's downer speech about our "unequal, unstable and unsustainable" planet, and -- in a quick gear shift --

Taylor Swift's song about the anguish

of finding a date for the prom.

After performing four songs, Prince skipped dessert, when he could have schmoozed with Richard Branson, Jeff Koons, Oscar-winning "Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow and Oliver Stone, who joked that his moustache was a nod to his friends in South America.

"Glee" star Lea Michele was also not suffering from humility. When a photographer asked for her name, she replied "Sarah Palin." Laughter. "No really, what's your name?" Michele: "Taylor Swift." Said one witness, "She seemed really annoyed he didn't know who she was."

Prince, having avoided the celebs uptown, turned up later at the packed Village Underground on West Third Street. In a corner, sipping an orange juice with ice, the superstar wouldn't eat anything that wasn't in Saran Wrap. Fortunately for him, lentil soup and Israeli salad from the Olive Tree restaurant nearby were wrapped appropriately.

Joining his band onstage, he sang along to "Controversy" but kept his back to the crowd to avoid fans trying for a photo.

"We're usually kind of jaded," club owner Noam Dworman told The Post's Mandy Stadtmiller. "But nights like this remind us why we do this in the first place. I've never seen anybody electrify a room like that, even with his back to the crowd."

Well, you know, the NYPost has always been a "sensationalized" paper, reasons why I don't buy it, but some people tend to hang on to sensationalism like its their best orgasm. I guess that's just some folks' cup of tea.

Even if you’re an A-list celebrity you’re still not worthy of breathing the same air with his royal highness Prince. Some celebrities are narcissists who aspire to be celebs because they naturally think they’re better than you or I.

For most of them, reaching the pinnacle of success simply means they are placed on a lofty pedestal so they can look down on others.

Surely this is the attitude of Prince, who snubbed FOX News dignitaries such as Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Judd Apatow who mingled with the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.

None of those names were big enough for the high and mighty Prince who sequestered himself in a darkened corner, according to Page Six.

Vegeterians can eat seafood but not meat.He didnt mind it being served in his place back in 06

Here's another report I found from someone's site, sponging off the Page Six, NY Post article:
