Saw this on "Popbitch", I'm not sure it's a new story but anyway...

One of the things to emerge

in among the many heartfelt

tributes proffered to Prince

this year was that the Purple

One had a voracious appetite

for popcorn.

One reader told us about the

time they attended a daytime

screening of a movie in LA,

where Prince and Prince's

bodyguard were the only other

people in the theatre.

About fifteen minutes into

the film, they heard a noise

that sounded like "a pack of

wolverines tearing into a

binbag". But it wasn't. It

was Prince, absolutely going

to town on an extra large

bucket of buttered popcorn.

An ex-manager of the Chanhassen

Cinema in Prince's hometown

backed the story up, fondly

remembering how Prince would

often buy three buckets of

popcorn for every movie that

he went to see there; and

Ingrid Chavez (a frequent

collaborator with Prince)

also reminisced about how

he had taught her to mix bags

of peanut M&Ms in with her

buckets of popcorn.

Hehehehee! One wonders how he kept his svelte figure - unless it was down to all his frenetic dancing!

And that's probably all he ate that entire day and night.

Oh my what a joy to be around him
