In a revealing interview with PBS moderator Tavis Smiley on Monday, music legend Prince revealed that he was cured of a serious childhood health condition — after a close encounter with an angel.

“I’ve never spoken about this before, but I was born epileptic. I used to have seizures when I was young,” Prince told Tavis on Night One of his two-part interview event. “My mother told me one day I walked into her and said mom I’m not going to be sick anymore, and she said ‘why?’ and I said; ‘an angel told me so.’”

Prince and Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama are two of six men featured on Ebony Magazine’s “The 25 Coolest Brothers Of All Time” Issue-August 2008. Other cover shots will feature Barack Obama, Jay-Z, Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Marvin Gaye, Muhammad Ali, and Billy Dee Williams.

The June 23rd issue of Jet Magazine, on U.S newsstands Monday, features a profile piece on Prince, who celebrated his 50th birthday last weekend.

Prince is reportedly dating two Caribbean twins who are performing on stage with him as backing vocalists.

The sisters refuse to reveal their true identity and are instead simply referred to as ‘Twinz’.

“Prince is a huge fan of ours. He is someone who likes to have beautiful women around him,” the Caribbean pair replies.

“He is a cool cat, always dressed to impress. And he keeps us laughing all the time.”

Beyonce has been accused for the second time in a week of cheating on boyfriend of five years, Jay-Z. While last week’s snitches had Bey engaging in a steamy weekend long romp with NBA star, and Jay-Z pal, Lebron James in late 2006, tattles are now whispering that Beyonce is secretly dating long-time crush Prince, while Jay continues to lay the pipe to barely legal starlet Rihanna.

According to celebrity informants:

Strictly professional? Or a pack of lies? We’re hearing that Beyonce’s boyfriend Jay-Z actually IS having a romance with his pride and joy Rihanna. Their collaboration on Umbrella resulted in a gigantic hit and fueled dormant romance rumors. Jay started off as Rhianna’s mentor and he even picked out which guys she was allowed to go out with. But nowadays he’s spending more time with his young discovery and less time with Beyonce. (Keep in mind he and beyonce never admitted they were an item.) And here’s a real twist: We’ve been told that Beyonce isn’t terribly upset about it because SHE has a massive crush on Prince and they are secretly seeing each other. This whole group is so secretive we may never learn the truth!

Prince has reportedly snubbed Michael Jackson’s offer of a joint tour.

M.J allegedly begged Prince to perform a string of concerts with him to help Michael re-launch his career.

Prince told Michael he wasn’t interested as he already has plans for his own tour later this year.

Michael was recently overheard complaining about the snub at the Sultan of Brunei’s son’s 25th birthday party:

“Michael seemed pretty upset about it. He said he’d approached Prince to see if he would like to work together, but Prince wasn’t interested.”

Prince was concerned that the hype surrounding Michael’s comeback would over-shadow the concerts, and he wasn’t prepared to be the ‘Beat It’ singer’s support act.

Musical guitar Prince has stirred up a small controversy with his soggy-wet halftime performance at Sunday’s Super Bowl XLI.

The critically-acclaimed performance featured a guitar solo of the 1984 hit “Purple Rain.” During the number, Prince’s shadow was projected onto a large, flowing beige sheet. The silhouette cast by his figure and his guitar, which is in the shape of P’s signature symbol, allegedly had phallic connotations.

Daily News television critic David Bianculli called the guitar silhouette “a rude-looking shadow show” that “looked embarrassingly rude, crude and unfortunately placed.”

The executives over at CBS disagree. The network claims to have received “very few” complaints about Prince’s shadowy performance. And the NFL has reportedly received no complaints.

“We respect other opinions, but it takes quite a leap of the imagination to make a controversy of his performance,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said of the incident. “It’s a guitar.”

Prince will not be hosting a Super Bowl celebration party of Miami’s INK Nightclub as originally scheduled. The artist formerly known as “The Artist” has cited the clubs red dragon decorations as offensive to his religion.

Prince is a Jehovah’s Witness. According to INK co-owner Laurent Bourgade, Prince “sent someone for a walk-through of the space…When they reported back the prints on the club, he changed his mind.”

The Jehovah’s Witness Book of Revelation depicts the Devil as ‘a great fiery-colored dragon.’ ”

The club is hoping to book Justin Timberlake as a last minute replacement.
