Prince is not going to record another album, that is, until the online piracy problem is under control. He's fed up with the online music industry and has decided just not to deal with it!

He was actually the first person to release a major album completely online in 1997, but has since decided that he hates digital music:

Oh shiz! She effing SLAYED all of these!

Genius! Absolutely genius!

During Beyoncé's concert in Nice, France last night, the diva not only performed a variety of her solo material, as well as music from her Destiny's Child days, but she also performed a KILLER medley of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Prince's The Beautiful Ones, and Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire!

Give it a listen (above)! You will NOT regret it!

Good lord, no one can do it like her! And we would have NEVER even thought to put all these songs together!

Hot damn, does it work or what?!

Keep it up, B!

Sorry, David! At least you got to see SOME of the show…

While at a recent Prince concert at El Lay's Forum, David Arquette got kicked out for taking a photo on his phone.

Here's what he had to say about it:

"Prince was like, 'Alright, I'm about to play my hits, so get out your phones. I didn't take any more pictures but the kid next to me was taking pictures and I still had my phone in my hand."

"Security came to take this kid away and they said, 'You gotta get rid of all those pictures on your phone.' I said, 'Prince just said we could take the pictures.' And so I got kicked out of the Prince show [too]."

And that's why you DON'T take pictures at Prince concerts…even if he says it's okay.

LOLz.

Better get those tickets ASAP!

Before he makes his way to the UK for his headlining gig at the Hop Farm Festival this summer, Prince will perform for one night, and one night only, at El Lay's House Of Blues!

…Did we mention that "one night" is TONIGHT?!?!?!?

Here is a list of Prince's three separate performances that will take place in just a few short hours at HOB:

Wednesday, May 25th Prince in the Music Hall
Doors 7 pm / Show 8 pm
Wednesday, May 25th Jazz Café at the Porch Restaurant
Doors 10 pm / Show 11 pm
Wednesday, May 25th Private Charity Event in the Foundation Room

Who needs to be fully awake on a Thursday morning, anyway???

For the first time in four years, Prince is heading to perform in the UK.

The singer will be headlining the Hop Farm Festival on July 3rd.

Vince Power, the festival organizer, reveals:

"I am really excited about having Prince at the Hop Farm, we have worked hard to get the third day up and running and we hope that fans will appreciate the integrity of the bill, and see it's one of the most musically exciting this year that stands head and shoulders above a lot of other festivals."

As for the other two performers headlining the event, those include the Eagles on July 1st and Morrissey on July 2nd.

Other confirmed acts for the event include Iggy and the Stooges and Death Cab for Cutie.

Amazing!

Some good news for Whitney, that's for sure!

Prince actually had no idea that someone in his crew decided to ban Whitney Houston for erratic behavior in his audience, and thus has made the universe right again by saying:

"she's always welcome 4 all of eternity."

And Prince's manager has issued a statement that the singer can come back anytime she wants!

Hmm, we wonder who did the banning??

We also wonder if they'll end up getting banned! Sweet justice!

Ha!

That's fab, Whitney! Keep focused on rehab, though!

Guess he's forgiven her for not dancing at his show! LOL!

Sources have reported exclusively to PerezHilton.com that last night, Prince held a private concert at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. The intimate affair was only attended by guests invited by Prince himself and at the top of that list was Kim Kardashian, who only a few months ago, felt the sting of rejection when he kicked her off his stage at one of his concerts.

But the past is in the past! Now, the pair are just the bestest of friends! In fact, our source tell us the duo were seen talking and laughing before the show in a private room above the venue! Kim even tweeted out a picture of the show, saying, "Nothing compares… "

Spectacular! So nice to hear they've bridged the gap! Maybe next time you get such a prestigious invite, Kimmie, you'll take us along! We'd love that!

Very upsetting.

Earlier today, we were sad to learn that it looks like Whitney Houston has relapsed and succumbed to crack once again. We were glad to hear that she was in rehab, but were concerned that she was only doing an outpatient program.

Looks like she may need a more intense rehab program, because sources say that Whitney acted inappropriately at a series of recent Prince concerts, and has been banned from all his future shows.

According to the sources, she made "constant ticket demands" from Prince and displayed "erratic behavior" at several of his recent shows. She also came across as being intoxicated, but there is no hard evidence that she was in fact under any influence during his performances.

Apparently, Whitney aggressively tried to convince Prince to let her on stage during several shows, but his people wouldn't let her on stage so she wouldn't "embarrass herself."

This truly saddens us. It really seems like Whitney needs to check herself into an in-patient rehab facility. Hopefully she'll make the right move and do just that.
