Prince Has Epilepsy
In an interview Monday, pop icon, Prince, revealed for the first time that he has the neurological disorder, epilepsy.
The singer told PBS’s Tavis Smiley,
“I’ve never spoken about this before but I was born epileptic. I used to have seizures when I was young. My mother and father didn’t know what to do or how to handle it but they did the best they could with what little they had.”
Prince says as a young boy he told his mother that an angel visited him. “My mother told me one day I walked in to her and said, ‘Mom, I’m not going to be sick anymore,’ and she said ‘Why?’ and I said ‘Because an angel told me so.’ Now, I don’t remember saying it, that’s just what she told me.”
He adds that his childhood was complicated by constant bullying. “From that point on, I’ve been having to deal with a lot of things, getting teased a lot in school. And early in my career I tried to compensate by being as flashy as I could and as noisy as I could.”
You can catch Part 3 of the interview tonight on PBS.
I never knew this about Prince, and believe me, I thought I knew everything about him in the 7th grade. (Yes, that was 1984.) My father also had epillepsy and so I know what a difficult thing it can be to manage and how hard it is on a family – and specifically the person afflicted with the disorder. Seeing your dad convulse on the floor at a young age was absolutely terrifying.
Bravo to Prince for “coming out” so to speak. It is such a common condition but yet it is rarely discussed publicly. Kudos.

Prince to Have Hip Replacement Surgery
After years of bumping and grinding in heels onstage, Prince has to have a hip replacement.
The 49-year old pop star would reportedly develop a limp and have to use a cane to walk if left untreated.
His surgery will take place at a private hospital and it will take a full two months for him to recover. He’s having the ball and socket of the hip taken out and titanium replacements put in.
A source said, “For months Prince has complained of pain every time he moves. He is totally crushed as he knows he will never be the same again.”

He’s always been a little freak!

Prince Orders Fansites to Remove All Images Bearing His Likeness
Prince fans are up in arms after the pop star ordered several fansites to take down any photos of him.
Sites affected are HouseQuake.com, PrinceFams.com and Prince.org, who have all been asked by Prince’s attorney to comply immediately. They stand accused of copyright infringement.
The webmasters are outraged and have banded together to form ‘Prince Fans United‘ in protest.
A statement on the website reads,
“It is our opinion that these threats are not made in an attempt to enforce valid copyright as Prince alleges in his threats, rather we believe they are attempts to stifle all critical commentary about Prince.
We strongly believe that such actions are in violation of the freedom of speech and should not be allowed. Prince claims that fansites are not allowed to present any artwork with Prince’s likeness, to the extreme that he has demanded the removal of fans’ own photographs of their Prince inspired tattoos and their vehicles displaying Prince inspired license plates.”
Hey Prince, sit on your stiletto heel…and spin.

Prince’s Super Bowl Performance: Did You Love It or Hate It?
Being a child of the eighties I grew up with Prince and his ‘Purple Rain’ Soundtrack.
I won the VHS movie in a contest on the radio and must have watched it a fifty times that year. I had the Purple Rain poster hanging in my room. I remember being envious of Appolonia. Remember that skanky lead singer of Appolonia 6? How embarrassing.
Needless to say when I heard Prince was going to perform during half time at the Super Bowl, I was excited.
I thought the performance was amazing.
The shadow behind the rippling curtain sort of freaked me out though. It looked like a horny, beer bellied Devil was behind the screen!
The most memorable moment of Prince’s performance had to have been during the song ‘Purple Rain’ with the purple neon and lasers, the fans lighters and cell phones glowing, and the rain coming down on it all. What a cool moment.
That was the only time during the game that I wished I had been there. Other than that I felt for all those sorry mofo’s having to sit in a constant douching of rain through the entire game.

Prince to Play Superbowl Halftime
Prince will perform at the game at Dolphin Stadium near Miami for the Superbowl Halftime on February 4th.
The reigning purple majesty has been nominated for five Grammy Awards for his album, 3121.
This should be interesting. Instead of an exposed boob we might be treated to some assless pants & spiked boots or something.
At least it isn’t Britney performing, she could very easily put the Janet Jackson Nipplegate to shame.
