'IDOL' STRATEGY
NOTORIOUSLY shy Prince is willing to do anything to keep his album "3121" at the top of the Billboard charts. Industry insiders say Prince is worried that his record, which recently debuted at No. 1, might drop off the charts next week. So his record company convinced him to go on "American Idol" to boost sales as Barry Manilow did earlier this year. "It wasn't easy though," said one source, "because Prince apparently hates the show and has never even watched it." A rep for Prince didn't return calls.

"because Prince apparently hates the show and has never even watched it." A rep for Prince didn't return calls. I saw that segment on Fox. They commented on it will be cool to see if he actually offers any comments.
They also mentioned that Bruce Springsteen might be a guest judge, too.
In both cases they mentioned 'guest judges' as opposed to 'Prince music week'. Can you imagine what that might have been like? LOL
