Prince reigns supreme at Garden concert
Sherri Shepherd finally got her wish to spend the night with Prince - but she had to share him with a few other celebrities, including Spike Lee, Naomi Campbell, Jamie Foxx and her "View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
Prince called Shepherd and a host of other stars onto the stage Saturday night at his sold-out Madison Square Garden concert, The Associated Press reports. Lee played the tambourine as Alicia Keys, Foxx, Cornel West, talk-show host Tavis Smiley and others danced onstage with Prince and Sheila E. to the hit "A Love Bizarre." Prince recently made a surprise appearance on "The View" that left Shepherd swooning.
Prince pretended to bolt from the stage Saturday when he mentioned Shepherd's name, but then slyly told her: "Come on, Sherri. Dance with me, please. I wanna see what you really do." The concert was part of his "Welcome 2 America" performances in the New York City area and his first night at the Garden.
Although Prince released a new album, "20Ten," as a free giveaway overseas this year, Saturday's concert was classic Prince. Among the memorable tunes: "Kiss," "1999," "Let's Go Crazy" and "Purple Rain."
He also gave fans a surprise as he dusted off some of the sexier songs from his classic catalog, including "Cream," "Shhh" and "U Got The Look."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer hadn't sung many of those songs in years since he became a Jehovah's Witness.
Prince will return to Madison Square Garden for two more dates - Dec. 29 and Jan. 18.
Judging from the extended standing ovation he received Saturday night, he's looking forward to coming back. As he left the stage, he quipped: "This is my house now."
