Prince was on the prowl again last night, making an unscheduled appearance at the Apollo Theater’s 75th anniversary celebration to toast Patti LaBelle. [...] But the real buzz on Prince is that his much reported hip problems of the past have now turned into need for a double hip replacement. [3]
Apparently Prince, who just turned 51 on Sunday, has been bedeviled by hip problems for a while, but because of his Jehovah’s Witness beliefs - no blood transfusions - he refuses surgery. [2]
Back in 2005 reports surfaced that Prince needed one hip replaced. [3]
Because everyone is going to compare Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Bruno” to his insanely funny “Borat,” let’s be honest: While pushing the PC envelope, “Bruno” is only intermittently funny. [4]
Unfortunately, thanks to his practice as a Jehovah’s Witness, Prince still refuses surgery. [...] Now the diminutive R&B star is walking with a diamond-studded stick to keep him upright. [...] ‘He’s in a lot of pain,’ said a source who was backstage with him last night at the Apollo. [3]
Founded in 1930, THR continues to provide quality movie news, entertainment news, and Hollywood news to expand the reach of its brand through an increasing array of digital platforms. [1]

Even as Hollywood studios increasingly aim at the broadest possible audience, a few companies are experimenting with the opposite approach in these summer months and beyond: They’re making smart, quirky movies for a sophisticated young audience. [1]
I’m sure he’d rather have a Raspberry beret or a little red Corvette, but for now Prince is stuck with the stick. [...] It’s the same stick I saw him with two nights ago at a post-Tony Awards bash. [3]
