Prince Set To Perform At Super Bowl XLI's Pre-Game Show

Have you heard the amazing news? Cirque du Soleil will be the pregame show at Super Bowl XLI (pronounced "gigli"), and that Prince feller is doing the halftime.

Yes, you read that correctly. Prince. The Super Bowl. On CBS, home of the 2004 wardrobe malfunction. Not this Prince. This one. Remember him? Musical genius, shy exhibitionist, and sexual revolutionary? Has an album out, 3121? Okay, okay, it's that guy who sang on American Idol. Remember him, kids? Golly, who'd have thought the day would come when Prince was considered a "safe" alternative to Janet Jackson?

It makes a certain sort of sense actually. He and Beyonce subbed for Jackson at the Grammys after Boobgate. But will he use this bully pulpit to shock or awe? He's one of our greatest live showmen, whose concert work is renowned for its pure musicianship -- little need for fireworks, stage effects, or gimmicks. The most controversial thing Prince could do would be to, well, just play good music. (continue - - thanks Nova!)

Rihanna Likes To Play It Safe

Modest Rihanna refuses to wear skimpy clothes for videos and photoshoots because she's determined to impress with her music alone - just like her idol Alicia Keys. The Barbados-born R&B star recently turned down a cover shoot for German magazine when she learned editors wanted her to go topless for the session.

She says, "I don't like to wear things (that are) too skimpy... If I do shorts on the bottom, it's gotta be something very conservative at the top." If it's skimpy at the top, it's gotta be long jeans or something. I like to balance it out. I won't do short shorts and short top. That's what I admire so much about Alicia Keys. She became so successful off of just her music. She was really conservative about her style at first". (Female First)

Here are two pictures of her from Fashion Rocks Magazine (via Oh Rihanna). Thanks Janice for the tip.
