Exclusive: Seven weeks of Prince in Hollywood?
Hollywood will be raining purple this summer, if current plans hold up.
Prince is expected to announce a seven-week residency at the historic Roosevelt Hotel that will include a heaping helping of music, dining and VIP guests, sources say. The stint is contingent on final approval of the contracts, which could come as early as this week. The string of shows is scheduled to start in mid-June, about a week after the 49th birthday of the man born Prince Rogers Nelson.
What the plans call for: On seven Friday nights starting June 15, the Roosevelt will close off its lobby at 9 p.m. Then, at 11:30 in the Blossom Room in front of 250 seated guests and an undetermined number of standing-room-only patrons, Prince (joined each week by special guests) will give a two-hour performance. At 2 a.m., Prince's private chef will take over the kitchen of the Roosevelt's Dakota restaurant, which will morph into an after-hours dinner club. As part of a jazz ensemble, Prince will entertain diners until 4 a.m.
Nobody's going to be asking where afterparty is, that's for sure. Ticket information might be available this week -- suffice to say these tickets will not be cheap. A one-off performance given by Prince last year at the Roosevelt attracted a star-studded crowd.
Prince last week was announced as part of a pricey concert series this summer in the Hamptons.
Prince will be staying at the Roosevelt all summer as he and his band rehearse for their tour.

Stones cant do this because it requires work, effort and passion.
Prince can play 7 nights at one venue or 21 nights in one city because he is willing to put in the time to rehearse so that the sets are fresh each night.
Stones are only willing to go thru the motions each night and play the same old war horses that they can do, as Jagger once confessed: "standing on his head in the shower"
Prince clearly has the passion to do this and cares for his audience. Stones don't.
but, hey, what can you really expect from the Stones for only $500 a ticket?
