Does anyone know or has heard if Prince will be on any of these new year celebrations on tv

No idea but i hope so

Apparently he is not on the aired tv schedule. NBC/ABCMTV are on different stages in Times Square. So not all the performers are on this list.

Earlier this month we learned the odd news that MTV Jersey Shore star <strong>Nicole Snooki Polizzi would be dropped in a ball of her very own in Times Square, NYC as the final seconds of 2010 ticked away (in the same way that the larger, more famous Times Square Ball drops every New Year’s Eve) … but today we learn that those plans have been nixed completely. Due to the poor timing and impracticality of the stunt, Snooki‘s Ball Drop will NOT take place in Times Square. Instead, Snooki‘s Ball Drop will take place in the Jersey Shore.

2010 will not end with the sight of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi dropping out of a ball on New Year’s Eve in Times Square. The co-producers of Times Square New Year’s Eve said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter that the Jersey Shore star’s year-ending idea had been denied. The request “came too late and was too impractical to fit in to our outdoor events,” the statement reads. The co-producers were clear that the Snooki ball would not have been “the actual New Year’s ball in Times Square” made famous in the annual New Year’s countdown. But even “the request to have her in a separate ball on a set-back roof” was not allowed.

SOOOOO she will not be dropping in the ball that really makes a shit her stunt in jersey shore will be just that a reality stunt nothing mor nothing less and as stupid as her dropping in the real one
