Although Prince’s two new albums are, in my opinion, among the worst and uninspired material of his career, it’s still Prince! Check out his performance of “Clover & Crimson” on today’s episode of Ellen

The Purple One, aka Prince, has struck an exclusive deal with retailer Target to sell his upcoming album.
The three disc set includes two new recording by Prince himself - LOtUSFLOW3R and MPLSoUND. The third disc is by Prince’s “latest protege,” Bria Valente. The set will sell for $11.98 - typical Target prices - and will be released on March 29th.
Prince is so weird. I know that sentence is redundant, but hear me out. Prince? And Target?   I would never have thought that the Artist Formerly Known As, who supposedly doesn’t want to be controlled by the man, would strike a contract with such a USUAL place as Target. How pedestrian of him. I nearly want to call him a sell out! It’s nearly as laughable as AC/DC’s choice of Wal-Mart for their latest album.
But at least we know he’s keeping up with the times - naming your albums in leet speak is a great way to reach out to the youth, right?

In case you haven’t heard already, Prince is looking at the busiest year of his career - packed with not one… not two… but THREE studio albums!!!!!!!
First up will be Lotus Flow3r, the more guitar-heavy of the three releases — four songs which the legend premiered on LA radio stations (and online here). Next up will be the funkier album MPLSOUND, followed by the third project, Elixir, featuring his newest protege (think his Lisa Lisa/ Vanity 6/ Carmen Electra sensai-ships) Bria Valente (get a taste for how dope her vocal contributions can be on “Here Eye Come” on the website).
Still anti-record label, Rolling Stone is calling Prince a varitable one-man Live Nation.
Based on the very different sounds for each album, which are you more excited for?

D’oh! If I were Rihanna I’d be considering a new haircut and a new overall look. She was in London last month and was mistaken for… The Purple One??
“Some fans screamed out, ‘Prince!’ when they saw her,” says a witness. “But when they got close enough to ask for an autograph, they realized he was a she.”
These people obviously weren’t paying attention, because Rihanna is about six inches taller than Prince. But hey - at least Ri-Ri knows that if her career ever tanks, she’ll be able to get work as a Prince impersonator! Better start working on her falsetto!

By all reports, Prince deserves some kind of reward for rocking the freakin’ house at Coachella this past weekend. I, however, would like to give an award to the photog who captured the moment above. What in the world is going on here? He was either in the middle of one of the Morris Day covers in his set list, or he really, really needed to pee (or maybe he pulled a Fergie and just DID…..)!!
