We’re so glad Twitter exists right now. If it wasn’t for the social media platform, fans at tonight’s Prince concert in LA would have to debate whether that weird guy in the hat trying to climb on stage was Charlie Sheen or not. “#winning Heading to House of Blues LA tonight to see a surprise show by PRINCE! should be Epic..!!,” Sheen tweeted this afternoon. “Was this a secret?! too late!!” Prince will actually be playing three shows in different parts of the House Of Blues tonight, the Muisc Hall at 8, the Jazz Cafe at  11, and a charity gig at the private Foundation room at 1 AM, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Charlie hits all three…it’s not like he has to go to work tomorrow.

Tonight’s festivities come after a long stretch of gigs in LA, with Prince already playing 12 shows at the Forum (he’ll be back there for 3 more concerts this weekend). It’s a good thing Whitney Houston‘s probably too busy with rehab to attend tonight…nothing good could possibly come from Whitney being introduced to Tiger Blood.

We knew the gossip about Prince banning Whitney Houston from his concerts was 2 nasty 2 b true. Oh sure, Prince’s handlers may have planned to keep her from getting on his stage again, but u know Prince himself would never make such a decree. The Purple 1 has issued a statement denying that Whitney will b forced to watch his concerts from the cheap seats.

Whitney Houston is always welcome at Prince shows 4 all of eternity. Seeing her at 2 shows at The Forum in L.A. was a treat, especially when she sang with Chaka Khan and danced with Prince during his set. We love her always.

Granted, Whitney’s song with Chaka was…a little pitchy, and Prince only allowed Whitney 2 dance during his set. But with Whitney headed back 2 rehab, hopefully she’ll b in a better state next time she shows up at the Forum…or b happy to play the cowbell. Also, if u think it’s cheesy 2 write like Prince when reporting on him…don’t knock it till u try it.

We won’t see another video of Whitney Houston wrecking a Prince concert…not if Prince can help it. TMZ reports that Whitney is no longer allowed to attend his concerts, after making a scene at multiple engagements. According to their sources, Whitney frequently asked to be let on stage, with the Purple One’s team rebuffing her, worried she’d “embarrass” herself. Considering what happened when opening act Chaka Khan let Whitney on stage (click on the link if you missed it!), their worries were pretty well founded.

With Whitney off to rehab to prepare for a movie, it’s not likely she’ll be bugging Prince any time soon. But next time she wants to, she’ll have to try from the cheap seats.

We love Prince‘s music, but there are some things the guy believes in that we just don’t. For instance: Jehovah, using numbers as shorthand, the color purple, and now his claim that the internet is “over”.

In an interview with the UK’s Daily Mirror, Prince said that he is releasing his latest album, 20Ten, for free as a giveaway, distributed in the hard copy version of the Mirror and that no digital copies would be made available. He explained “The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it.”  Not holding back, he also took a jab at MTV, the network that made him famous and, thanks to his “When Doves Cry” video, made us aware that mirrors are fun. He said “The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you.” Unfortunately for Prince fans, this means there’s virtually no internet presence for the singer, as he’s taken down his own website and won’t allow YouTube to show any of his videos. We think if his Purpleness was exposed to the wonders of Cute Overload he just might think differently.
