There is a rumor that Prince will get a secret hip replacement. The surgery will involve removing the ball and socket of Prince’s damaged hip and replacing it with a titanium joint. A source told Britain’s News of the World newspaper:
"For months Prince, who always puts on the most energetic shows, has been complaining of pain every time he moves. He is totally crushed because he knows he will never be the same again."
I hear you can do cool things with new hips, like to the splits, leap over cars, and the ever popular putting your ankles behind your ears. Oh wait, that’s bionic hips. Prince is right, he’ll never be the same again.
Prince to Fans - PFUnk You
Posted on November 10, 2007 at 12:49 pm (PST)
Prince and his record label have sent cease and desist letters to at least three unauthorized fans sites using his copyrighted images, and other materials. There has been a backlash as a result, especially over a video of a baby dancing on YouTube with a Prince song playing in the background, which Prince demanded be removed. Many Prince fans feel they are under attack by the purple one. Now, Prince has taken out his frustrations musically and recorded a new diss track for the false fans and hangers on. The Funk jam, dubbed "PFUnk," is posted at Princefamsunited. Prince sings:
"The only reason you say my name is to get your fifteen seconds of fame, nobody’s even sure what you do,†Prince sings. "I don’t care what people may say, I ain’t gonna let it ruin my day.†Toward the end, Prince tells his fans, “I love all y’all, don’t you ever mess with me no more."
Fans want more Prince even at unauthorized sites, not less. Prince is reported to surf the Internet personally looking for sites, and videos he hasn’t authorized. You’d think with his money he’d just let it go. Prince already has it all, does he really need the crumbs that help the little guy too? Click here to listen to PFUnk.
