I used to be a fan of Prince, and I don't mind the fact that he's a bit short, but here's some news that has made me lose all respect for the artist formerly known as a squiggle. According to reports, he's a fan of Big Brother. Not only that, but according to more reports, he's planning to appear at the Big Brother house this summer to play them an impromptu set, either in the Garden or via a video link to the house from a London studio.
A 'source' says: "Prince is a huge fan of 'Big Brother'. He has tuned in to every series of the show so far and loves the concept. His management are in discussions with producers Endemol to arrange a gig. Prince is hoping it will be an unforgettable moment that goes down in 'BB' history."
A Channel 4 type is quoted as saying: "Housemates like Tracey the raver and Shabnam the R&B fan will probably be appreciative of their own audience with Prince. But some of the others probably won't have a clue who he is and won't realise what an amazing opportunity they are being given. It will be hilarious to see the different reactions."
