she wanted to nickname him TAFKAP, she thought she was realllll clever. he said something like, "you know what that rhymes with?" she sez, "what?" p. sez, "GOOD NIGHT." but he didn't bail, it got kind of a nervous laugh. he proceeded to play with some toy gun contraption that she had on her desk, cuz he seemed pretty annoyed with talking to her. i don't remember the songs he played however....

She called him Taffy...she made no attempt to make him feel comfortable and just tried to ridicule him the whole time. Even if it was meant to be lighthearted, Prince doesn't play that...

He played "Somebodys Somebody" and he played "Holy River". He wasn't so pissy, but he was making Rosie work for trying to be cute. The real tense moment was when Rosie asked the guest before Prince (MR. ALEC BALDWIN/Kim Bassingers then jealous husband) she asked Alec if he wanted to stay on the guest seat for the Prince interview. He said something like "Prince is gonna be here!!.." Rosie said "Yes..!" he said "here?!" she said "yes.." he said in a sly voice "this should be interesting (or maybe said fascinating)". All & all great TV if u knew the back story....I thought it was a funny performance, Prince was on his a-rockstar game.

thanks guys

Don't like P in interviews much, pretty boring, BUT, that interview was interesting to watch! I hated Rosie as much a P did I think! I always hated her really, always poking fun and she had a go at Prince on stuff that wasn't even slightly funny (and I laugh at most Prince jokes)


Wasn't Rosie friends with Madonna, if she was/is, she should know better then to piss take people all the time! I remember on a madonna documentary that she said how could normal people have a go at her and be so mean etc.... what a fucking twat! That's all she did was pisstake celebrities etc..... good to c her acting went to crap.....

Prince: U know what TAFFY rhymes with?

OD: Laffy, kaffy, waffy, no what?

Prince: It rhymes with GOOD NIGHT!

OD: (still half baffled) oh ok

Old girl straightened out after she finally got his meaning...

Classic Prince

some pics from said show:







I think people sometimes over-emphasize how "pissy" was in this interview ,
I've always thought he took Rosie's comments in good humour , its a really fun Tv
appearance.

Didn't she slip one time and call him Prince.. and she said "oops" and he said, well thats better than TAFKAP....
And by the way Miss Rosie..... ALOT of people were calling him TAFKAP WAY before SHE did it.....
Prince did look VERY sexy in that interview tho--

Okay until today you are the only other person outside of myself that I have every heard talk about that. I felt sorry for Rosie cause you could tell that she had no clue about the history that the two men shared. I have this taped and when it first came out I remember laughing my ass off at the question. I give Baldwin credit for playing it off. Of course when they came back from commercial he was nowhere to be found. I always wondered if he told her about it later. Anyway you are right that was great television.
Peace
