PRINCE STAN RUSHED BY SECURITY

It looks like a fan at a concert in London got a little overzealous last night with her love for the Purple One.


According to fan reports, Prince invited several people from the crowd to join him on stage. One fan got a little too close to Prince, who mockingly fell to the ground and put his hands up. Joke or no joke, the fan used the opportunity to try and straddle Prince. Do your thang, girl!Obviously, bouncers were having none of that -- and quickly removed the woman from the stage.

Is this a sight or what??

So let me get this straight....you've been homeless on-and-off, but you forgot to mention that while the court proceedings were going....Yeah, right. Sounds like someone has been talking in Bobby's ear to get that money. Here's a thought.....GET A JOB!

Oh no....you know how I feel about these two...It's supposedly official. Nick Cannon and model Selita Ebanks are engaged.




He took her for a ride in a chauffeured Rolls-Royce Phantom to New York's Times Square — right across the street from the MTV offices — where "Selita, will you marry me?" appeared on the giant Jumbotron. Afterward, they celebrated with family and friends at a nightclub and ended the evening on a private jet back to L.A.

Here's the official statement from his publicist:

"Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks are engaged to be married. The actorproposed to his Victoria Secret angel on one knee with a 12 carat diamond ring immediately after they left the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Gala where they were chauffeured in a Rolls Royce Phantom to Time Square. Projected on the giant MTV jumbo Ron were the words, "Selita will you marry me?" The happy coupleimmediately celebrated afterwards at Butter with Cannon surprising Ebanks by flying in his mother, both her parents and best friends into town. Guests including Marc Ecko, Tommy Hilfiger, Jacob the Jeweler, Zach Braff and Young Jeezy enjoyed red velvet cake, free flowing champagne, Budweiser Select’s specially-made drink for the evening “Nick’s Secret” and evian. The jet-setting couple left the party at 3am so that they could catch a private plane back to LA that Nick had charted so that he could make a 9am call time for his new film, American Son."
