Prince, who recently turned 50, covers the June 16 issue of JET magazine.
- The Evolution of Musical Royalty
Music has a few kings, but make no mistake, there is only one Prince. His royal badness, who just turned 50, is slated to release his first book, “21 Nights.” Inspired by his groundbreaking reign of 21 consecutive performances in London’s O2 Center during the summer of 2007, the book will feature never-before-published pictures by acclaimed photographer Randee St. Nicholas, poetry by Prince and a CD, “Indigo Nights,” of live after-show sessions.
The award-winning artist went all-out to celebrate his book release with a private party and surprise concert at his palatial home in the hills above Los Angeles. Among his guests were Eddie Murphy, Babyface and Diddy. “When Prince is in the room, there are no other celebrities. Not when his majesty saunters into the room,” said guest Karrine Steffans, whose book cover for “The Vixen Diaries” was shot by St. Nicholas. “He’s magnetic and electrifying. The crowd became entranced.” (p. 58)

Prince never ages he is looking good at 50. The book will be interesting.
Karrine was invited, “oh, I am so suprised.”
By the way Prince still has the best “bum” in the game!
I saw Prince 5 times in my Life .. and I’ve NEVER I mean NEVER been dissapointed … He made THIS 5ft 10inch Woman RETHINK not dating a short man … His Freaky tail CAN GET IT !!!
if hollywood would just blackball karrine already she would not continue to get so much shine. i’m not surprised she is still being invited to parties amongst legends (ie prince) though. look at what she is famous for….
she is about as crafty as they come when it comes to worming her way into a circle of people….
incorrect grammer …. I’ve Seen Prince ….
Karrine probably wasnt invited….she may have “headed” her way in. Or was apart of the groupie to be f-ed invite list….not the main list.
And, in the slight chance that Karrine was actually invited by Prince himself, 1. Someone probably mentioned her name and Prince was like….sure, what the hell, …we’ll get a good laugh for sure by her attendance and 2. Shame on her for going since she should be home taking care of her recently traumatized son….lol….
I absolutely love prince!! I think that man is the only one who can rock purple & still be a sex symbol. My boyfriend asked me what was so sexy about him & I couldnt answer. He has a certain aura about him that exudes sexuality, charisma & confidence. I cant believe I just said that about someone who’s 50!!!! (he’s old enough to be my daddy & I would still put my legs on his shoulders!!!)
LOVE me some Prince. My 6 year old screams everytime she hears me listening to him cause she doesn’t like that he sounds like a woman! HA!
Yummy! I have been watching reviews of his old concerts and that man is a TRUE entertainer!! Love him
Prince is a true entertainer!!!
When he sold tickets to his concert for $31.21 and gave a copy of his CD away his promoters we mad but he made so much money because he constantly had a sold out crowd.
I can’t wait to read his book.
His beauty is timeless…you never grow old of seeing him!!!
i like Prince….but I think the cover shot could’ve been better. just my opinion
dc
prince is the man . i heard his shows were off the chain. would love to see him. even at 50 prince is still making the youngsters look bad. they need to step their game up if they even want to be as great as him. prince could sell his music out the trunk of his car and still somehow make millions.
mochamommy i totally agree. prince just has a swagger about him.
Prince is the sh*t, Karrine was probably invated to “work a black sweat”
LMAO @ MochaMommy
ITA…Prince still fine as hell…..

Sexy dannnnnnnnnceeeeeeeeeeer watch yo body watch yo body!I love me some Prince.
At a jilly Scott/Outkast concert, several years back, we were all just loving her, really feeling her doing “The Way” and suddenly abruptly she stopped singing. I was about 4 rows back and we all of course wondered why, we followed her look… 4 rows down, walking behind a big beefy bodyguard, Prince, in purple, shades and 4-5 inch tall boots, everyone just watched, including Ms. Scott, he never broke his slow stride, nodding to those who yelled his name, a wave here and there, he walked down to the first seat in the last row of the pit, sat down and crossed his legs.
I am stunned but the look on Jill’s face was priceless. She just broke a smile like “F..its Prince!!!” The audience finally got over the shock and got real loud clapping and Jill stood there clapping and watching him, he stood up, raised his hand, waved, nodded towards Jill and sat back down. Like she had been given the ok to sing, she went into “A long walk” and folks just roared, she laughed and kept singing.
My favorite Prince memory, besides seeing him in concert with Vanity 6!
Yea he could so get it!
Prince. Now that’s my dude.
aaaaaaaaaah prince. aaaaaaaaaaaah prince!
