Prince has said that he does not believe that gay marriage is “right.” The singer told The New Yorker that he disagreed with a liberal “Democrat” view of life , pointing to gay marriage as something condoned by the party that he disagreed with because it clashed with the teachings of the Bible. “God came to Earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out,” he said. “He was, like, ‘Enough.’ “[In the USA] you’ve got the Republicans , basically they want to live according to [the Bible].

It was better late than never for Prince. The Purple One may have showed up at emerging singer Janelle Monáe’s show last night at L.A.’s Viper Room, but he didn’t arrive until an hour after she was done. So instead of coming into the club, Prince held court in his car. Janelle joined him for a little chitchat in the backseat. Slow down with your dirty assumptions. I’ve been assured it’s completely platonic between the two… Prince appears to have taken a shine to the young, funky, Atlanta-based singer and recently reached out to her to offer career advice, according… Read more »

Prince thrilled his hometown fans with three shows over 12 hours, stopping only when police shut him down early Sunday. The Minneapolis native first performed Saturday at a department store to promote his new cologne, cramming nine songs into a 45-minute set. He then played that night at the Target Center arena. He capped the night across the street with a return to First Avenue, the club he made famous in the movie “Purple Rain.” “Minneapolis, I am home,” the Purple One declared after the first song at Macy’s department store.

The eagerly awaited new album by Prince is being launched as a free CD with a national Sunday newspaper in a move that has drawn widespread criticism from music retailers. The Mail on Sunday revealed yesterday that the 10-track Planet Earth CD will be available with an “imminent” edition, making it the first place in the world to get the album.
