Prince Snubs Celebs At Time 100 Gala
Even if you’re an A-list celebrity you’re still not worthy of breathing the same air with his royal highness Prince. Some celebrities are narcissists who aspire to be celebs because they naturally think they’re better than you or I.
For most of them, reaching the pinnacle of success simply means they are placed on a lofty pedestal so they can look down on others.
Surely this is the attitude of Prince, who snubbed FOX News dignitaries such as Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Judd Apatow who mingled with the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.
None of those names were big enough for the high and mighty Prince who sequestered himself in a darkened corner, according to Page Six.
After performing four songs, Prince skipped dessert, when he could have schmoozed with Richard Branson, Jeff Koons, Oscar-winning “Hurt Locker” director Kathryn Bigelow and Oliver Stone, who joked that his moustache was a nod to his friends in South America.
Prince, having avoided the celebs uptown, turned up later at the packed Village Underground on West Third Street. In a corner, sipping an orange juice with ice, the superstar wouldn’t eat anything that wasn’t in Saran Wrap. Fortunately for him, lentil soup and Israeli salad from the Olive Tree restaurant nearby were wrapped appropriately.
Joining his band onstage, he sang along to “Controversy” but kept his back to the crowd to avoid fans trying for a photo.
The late jazz legend Miles Davis used to turn his back on the audience too when he performed live. I guess that’s what musical geniuses do.

zzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
Sarah Palin , Judd Apatow, and Glenn Beck aren’t celebrities, they’re pansy azzholes.
You haven’t given me one go reason to go in on this genius for snubbing that snoozefest list.
GGOUCH Formely known as ” A Prince Fan” I don’t get him. I haven’t liked anything he’s done since the 80′s early 90′s.
He is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (what’s the word?)..

Have you ever thought he is just regular folk and doesn’t want to schmooz with the so-called who’s who? Who are they to think that people have to want to schmooz with then because they are so-called celebrities. Prince has been in the game longer then most of them combined. Maybe he is over it.
My Lil Man Prince.
Sandra Prince has always been shy. He has been performing forever and even if he would be on a late night show, only once did I see him interview after singing. The names mentioned above that he did not mengle with, he probably doesn’t even know who they are.

Girl, bye.
Purple rain, purple rain…
Everytime I see that picture of Prince, I can’t help but laugh.
He’s looking into the camera as if to say, “these hoez don’t want it!”
I always thought Prince was ghey…
But did anyone ever hear the story that Prince use to take his groupies to his room and read them the Bible..
When I heard that mess I almost fainted from laughter..
I’m not a celeb but if I were at the event, I’d have nothing of substance to say to anyone from FNN. Let’s be real here.
Now if you replace Prince with Drake in that last post, that would be news…
Hahahahahaha @ Shauny and Mirs
I agree…F@ck them. Most industry folks are fake and I don’t blame Prince..
Sarah Palin , Judd Apatow, and Glenn Beck were snubbed?! Good for his majesty Prince! My admiration for his genius has gone up a few more notches! Sandra, maybe Prince is an Obama fan (cool-aide drinker, as you like to call US) and doesn’t like speakin’ to the enemy? LOL
Lol@dude clothes. So what he’s not fake like the rest of them so actually I respect him more for skipping out on them. Who wanna talk to Sarah Palin dumb ass anyways?
@Missy
You know gosh darn well Prince Roger Nelson is not gay. He was a freak and had some of the baddest females in his hey day.
I always thought Prince was ghey…
———————————-
He is and I don’t care what anyone says.

@missy #11- I heard that too, the groupies got some bible knowledge instead of giving brain, lol… Hell, they probably needed it,
As feminine as Prince is I have NEVER thought he was gay…EVER. I bet he’d put yall ass to sleep

I heard he is a Jehovah’s witness now and I did hear the story of the girls who thought they were about to get it in with him and he read to them
Hello All. Prince is Prince, period. Like Michael Jackson, you either love him or you don’t. And I agree with Shauny, Mirs and dcwife! Forget ‘em, especially Faux news. They’ll find er thang and any thang negative to say when it comes to black folks, any I ain’t playing the race card either! Peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. (It’s almost the weekend!)

Prince is a freak that like high heels. Only he can get away with that.
@DC- Every time I say that around my family they say the same thing…
@ATL Reese & Shauny – I think them girls probably need the scripture verse also ….but that is too funny these chicks think they are going to get it in but he help save their souls….
I have never gotten the gay vibe from Prince…not once!!! I was watching Purple Rain not to long ago and even with the blouses, platforms and eyeliner I only saw a man serious about music!!
And all ya’ll talking bad about him better go purify yourselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka!!!
I’ve been a fan of Prince since the 70′s, but I hear he has a reputation among flight attendants of being a diva and having major attitude.
on MJ is worthy to speak to him
PRINCE IS NOT GAY PRINCE IS NOT GAY dont ever say that again *rocks self on couch*
ONLY prince can get away with the highheels and blouses…hes as strait as wilt chamberlain
Everything he does is odd, IMO.
i meant only
Prince is a taxi cab with no driver. Crazier than loon bat. Artists considered “geniuses” (“geni” as plural?) are often insane…
Van Gogh
Mozart
Beethoven
Edgar Allen Poe
Michael Jackson
R. Kelly
Tupac
etc. etc. etc.
@Man, how was MJ insane???

Sorry, I didn’t get past “Fox News dignitaries.” Did the post say anything else? I was to busy
at the idea of Sarah Palin being a dignitary.
Prince is now a Jehovah Witness. Can you imagine him coming to your doorsteps?
@Man, first of all I’m not your or anyone else’s nicca. Secondly, there are people who have pet monkeys, sweetie. I guess you didn’t know that they used to be sold in pet shops? That doesn’t make someone insane. Sheesh.

Re: Mozart – Untreated syphillis will do that to you.
Although he isn’t an artist, can we place Einstein on that list?

________________________________________________________________________________
Music is an art babe… and he people “speculate” that he was “clinically depressed” before the onset of syphillis symptoms (which is speculation as well). But hey, whateva…
Einstein was an scientist so we can’t place him on the list.
LOL @ the “business women” tag on this post!
Prince is a *devout* Jehovah’s witness, I think he even spoke out against gay people.
Any Jehovah’s witnesses in the house? Is that why he has gotten that hip replaced yet? Ima need him to check on that
Van Gogh belongs on that list too

I’s talking about Van Gogh being on the syphillis list but he was crazy too…I mean he did shoot himself in the chest whish had to suck cause he survived!! = He was bat chit crazy!!

Man was actually bigging him up as a genius.
Why is Pac on the list @Man?
I don’t even want to conversate with Sarah Palin and Glen Beck. It woukd disturbing and irritating at best! Then again, Sarah could entertain me by trying her damnest to piece together a complete thought.
Prince doesn’t have to talk to that Z list if he doesn’t want to. He is the “Purple One”. He can snub anyone he dang well pleases and they should be HONORED to be snubbed by his royal greatness!
NEXT!
*would be
I want to say so bad what probably was really going on with these artists yall are talking about, but I don’t want to be labeled as a “bible thumper”.

==================================================================
Uhhhhhh, and? MJ was clearly eccentric, but insane? No. Geniuses like MJ, who clearly took the music industry by storm like no other artist in history, would not, in my opinion, be classified as insane. Now if you, Man, or anyone else believe that he was, so be it.

If Sarah is on I am watching. I find her to be a breath of fresh air. She entertains me. I don’t care if it’s Tina Faye protraying Sarah. I just can’t believe that someone can be as clueless as Sarah.
but I think MJ was dealing with demons. I know some artists admit that they summon demons to help them with their roles and stuff. Demons probably never leave…The things he were doing were just too odd.
And… I was one that didn’t believe in demons before too. the things that have happened that have made me a believer, wooooo whooo!
@ OTB Pac was a genius..LOL you better leave my boo alone…
I think I may be crazy because at one point or another I was a Stan for MJ, Prince and Pac……..
@ ms. truth
Elaborate please???
How do you summon a demon????
Is a demon a ghost????
I need to get back in church!

Ur not crazy. H3ll I like all of them too!!!!! They make/made good music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music is an art babe… and he people “speculate” that he was “clinically depressed” before the onset of syphillis symptoms (which is speculation as well). But hey, whateva…
———————————————
Umm, I know music is an art form
That ‘speculation’ exists in the music world. In science it there isn’t much speculation as common literature states. He could have been clinically depressed prior to contracting the STD, but that has nothing to do with insanity. But yes, it’s whatever because neither of us can deny the man’s musical genius (I thought I was hot stuff at piano until his music was placed in front of me, lol)
@Flo…I have no idea how you summon a demon, and don’t want to know.
But a demon isn’t a ghost, I DON’T THINK. I’m kinda new to everything. but I think it’s a spirit that works with Satan and the celebs that said they summoned the demons said that it helped them get into whatever role they were playing.
Interesting @ ms.truth
I will google it when I get home!
And… I was one that didn’t believe in demons before too. the things that have happened that have made me a believer, wooooo whooo!
———————————————–
That was me. I would chalk it up to a person being troubled. By what? I don’t know, but I didn’t call it ‘demon’ until a few years ago when I met this kid. Because it’s a child, I’ll leave it there. Hearing what others said before I met her and later, actually meeting her did have me revisiting the Bible.
I <3 Prince!! I even got my kids requesting Purple Rain in the car lol. But seriously, he's always been like that. He stays true to himself and if he doesn't want to party with them so what? He may be an A list celeb but he was also a paid performer so it was a gig to him and then he went and did what he wanted to do
I wouldn’t have spoken to those racist Fox people either!
he is Prince… he gonna do him and @ yvonne79…GIRL YES!!!!

Prince is and will always be my man. Heels, perms, insanity, purple rain splashed with paisley and all. I love him and he was NEVER was gay.
Prince is the man!! He can do that because is a musical genius and a star!! (sorry, love him along with Madonna and Michael Jackson, they made me a music lover
Prince can wear purple, have on frilly blouses, sing in the highest high note, wear heels, perm his hair and wear eye shadow but for some reason he never seemed gay to me. In the 80′s and 70′s a lot of male singers were looking androgynous but most were straight.
I love Prince. I love how he handled this situation. He performed and did his own damn thing. Isnt that the way he always has been??? He aint gotta lie to kick it LOL!!!
