PRINCE FANS STAND UP! NEW ALBUM DUE OUT JULY 10TH + PATTY LABELLE'S BET AWARDS TRIBUTE (VIDEO)

Yeah, it's being released in Europe (July 10th) but so what! It's music and these days you can get it by turning your shower dial a certain way. Lol! We admit, it's been some time since we heard a newly released Prince song we could genuinely rock (or grind) to, but we're excited nonetheless. Loovvve us some Prince!  [The Life Files]

For the hell of it, check out the vid clip below of our beloved Patty LaBelle's performance during BET's Lifetime Achievement Award tribute-- don't miss Prince's facial expressions. Priceless.

SPOTTED: Rihanna Returning From Her Homeland

Calling her inner Prince, we think.

VIDEO: PRINCE Rocks Out on Leno!

For 3 straight nights Prince performed on Leno to showcase songs from his new 3-CD Set, "LotusFlow3r"(available only at Target), which debuts March 29th. This was the first night's performance of the three. He got real political in this piece, "Ol' Skool Company" saying such things as, "the White House is now the Black House" and referencing AIG's bailout,which we love. We don't get Prince very often, so enjoy!
