I don’t know if Prince knew what he had in store last night’s BET Awards Show, but I’m sure he was quite pleased! Prince, who was honored with a lifetime-achievement award was serenaded by Alicia Keys, who did a rousing rendition of “Adore”.
Alicia did the dayum thang as she moved from her prim and proper seat at the piano to perform a lil table dance of sorts for your royal purple highness…
Alicia was just the jump-off [per se], as Patti LaBelle and Janelle Monae also joined Keys to pay homage to the Purple One.? [Sidebar: You know it’s good when Patti kicks off her shoes!] Continue Reading…

?Black and white tux, ain?t no need for no other colors/ Talkin? about why don?t she change her clothes/ Well they ain?t seem to mind the last three times I posed in Vogue.?
Tell’em J!

The official album cover for Janelle Monae’s “The ArchAndroid” Suites II and III has been released. Janelle is photographed wearing what is described as an ArchAndroid crown:
Whether or not the following information came from Ryan Wakeman, WARPA, the Gaiming community or Janelle Mon?e’s journals, Max Stellings and the Palace of the Dogs Archives is inconclusive at this time…What is known or agreed upon is that this information stems from an official entry on The ArchAndroid Crown in the Living Cyktionary, a 28th Century encyclopedia…
The ArchAndroid Crown: Designed by Zoman Ignatius, the half-elf, half-human mystic, reportedly 500 years ago. According to legend, the crown has several magic properties, as well as innovative technologies that can be employed only by The ArchAndroid. Zoman was a consummate inventor, artist and sculptor, a cross between Tesla and Da Vinci, and as such, he designed the crown to be a work of beauty that would embody the very spirit of Metropolis. According to legend, the crown features prominent Metropolis buildings and towers that will light up radiantly when the one and only true ArchAndroid wears the crown. According to the Daily Horos, this opulent headdress was stolen from the vaults in the Black House, reportedly by 1954, in October of 2715. Several members of 1954 were hunted down and executed for this crime. But the crown was never found. Many claim it has been secreted away to the Wonderground. There is also word that in the year 2010, several 1954 operatives have crafted a replica of this historic headdress to be worn by Janelle Mon?e in anticipation for her album The ArchAndroid?no word on whether or not this replica has magic properties? The Living Cyktionary, 9th Edition, 2719
I dunno who made all that sh*t up… but it sounds legit to me! 😆
Janelle’s “The ArchAndroid” in stores May 18th.
