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.”

Prince, going all the way back to 1979, with “I Wanna Be Your Lover”.

He’s always been a little freak!

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.

Who knew that Prince (#3) played basketball?

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 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.
