In 1990, Prince, who was as competitive as he was virtuosic, made a rare admission of vulnerability: “To this day, [the Time] are the only band I’ve ever been afraid of.”
Prince had initially helped nurture the Time, a group of crack musicians from his hometown of Minneapolis that he formed into a band and wrote songs for. When they emerged in 1981 with an eponymous album full of knee-buckling funk and an impeccably choreographed live show, they immediately scored a pair of Top Ten R&b hits: “Get It Up,...

Channel 5 has declined to comment on rumours that this summer's Celebrity Big Brother series will have a 'UK versus USA' theme.
CBB bosses want Us stars to compete against their UK counterparts in two opposing teams following the controversy Perez Hilton caused in the most recently aired series, according to The Sun.
Showbiz blogger Hilton was accused by fellow housemates of forcing Us singer Alexander O'Neal to quit the show following antagonistic and confrontational behaviour.
He then received two warnings from Big Brother for using inappropriate language towards Calum Best.
It's also being reported that producers have already signed up opinionated former supermodel Janice Dickinson, who previously took part on ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
Us actor Gary Busey won Celebrity Big Brother last year, while American presenter Michelle Visage came fifth in January's series.

It's no longer The Perez Show following the showbiz blogger's departure in last night's (February 4) double eviction on Celebrity Big Brother.
"Precocious," "horrific" and a "complete cretin" were just a handful of names Perez Hilton was called throughout the series, and while we'd probably agree with most, we'd also argue that he's been one of the most entertaining housemates in the history of CBB.
As Emma Willis remarked (once Perez had stopped prattling on about sleeping pills and self-medicating), he's had our brain in a spin for the last four weeks and has provided a host of watercooler moments - for good and for bad.
Plus, we'll really miss the angry way he dramatically pronounced Katie Hopkins.
Here's the showbiz blogger's most melodramatic moments on the show below:
1."Did you apologise to the woman whose husband you f**ked?!"

Kavana has opened up about his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, describing Perez Hilton as a "very strange character to live with".
Speaking on This Morning, the singer - who was voted out in last night's (February 4) double eviction alongside Hilton - likened the series to an insane asylum.
"Even when you go to sleep, you can't go to sleep because you've got Perez in the bedroom," he explained.
"He's mental. He scared us all to death. I'm sorry, but he was crazy. He had moments of kindness, of compassion, but on the whole - and I can say this because he's not going to talk to me ever again - he was nuts.
"He didn't know who was the real him. He was a very strange character to live with. I don't know the real Perez. I still don't know the real Perez."

The eternally nominated Perez Hilton faces the public vote in tonight's Celebrity Big Brother eviction - and we're on tenterhooks as it would be a travesty if Perez were to leave on Friday evening (January 30).
While we would agree with Katie Hopkins that he's a complete cretin and more irritating than thrush and syphilis combined, we can't deny that Perez has thoroughly entertained us throughout his stay in the house.
He's made us laugh, too - albeit mostly when he's not even trying to be funny, but it's probably because of this and his complete lack of self-awareness, which makes it even funnier.
When it was confirmed Perez would be entering the house, we thought the very prospect would put us off watching it completely. And although at first we found him verging on the despicable, we've now found ourselves almost warming to his obnoxious and odious ways.

Perez Hilton tries to make amends with Katie Hopkins as he re-enters the house on tonight's (January 28) Celebrity Big Brother episode.
The showbiz blogger had been living in a secret abode after staging a walkout as part of a secret task set by Big Brother.
He made his return after Patsy Kensit's eviction last night, and the viewers' decision on whether he should be eternally nominated or given a free pass to the final was also announced.
They decided that he should face 'eternal nomination'.
Katie Hopkins tells Perez that she both values and believes in the British public following the outcome of the result.
Perez replies: "I don't give a s**t about the British public." He then attempts to lick Katie Hopkins's face and kiss her, while she laughs and is chased by Perez around the room.
He proposes: "Let's have a hug and one night of fun.

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Kavana got frustrated with Perez Hilton over his inability to apologise last night.
After Perez's big return to the house - following a stint in a secret room - Katie Hopkins asked him to apologise to the group for his treatment of Alexander O'Neal.
However, Kavana was unimpressed when Perez replied: "I'm sorry for the way I reacted to the hate I was getting."
He jumped in to urge Perez to refine his apology to specifically mention Alexander, but Nadia Sawalha intervened to accuse the group of moving the goalposts when Perez had already apologised.
The argument then became a row between Kavana and Nadia, who said: "I really cared about Alexander - you're just using him."
When she walked off, Kavana told Katie Hopkins: "Oh, she's so left wing" - and decided to go for a walk to calm down.

Katie Hopkins's face was of a picture of pure unadulterated disgust* as Perez Hilton waltzed his way back into the house on Celebrity Big Brother last night (January 27).

Calum Best has admitted to snogging Katie Price in the past when he was "wasted".
Airing on Celebrity Big Brother tonight (January 21), the revelation emerged after Michelle Visage had remarked that Calum is "so fit", with Calum revealing that he'd once kissed Katie Price and it had happened during a drunken night out.
This prompted Katie Price to claim that Calum had also asked her to spit in his mouth at the time. A shocked Katie Hopkins said: "I've never been spit at before."
Meanwhile, Keith Chegwin looked on completely aghast.
Calum, who was put up for eviction by Katie Price during last night's dramatic nomination twist, chatted to Kavana about the upcoming eviction on Friday.

Perez Hilton has revealed he thinks the recent nomination twist was a ploy by producers to keep him in the house on tonight's Celebrity Big Brother (January 21).
The showbiz blogger was originally up for eviction last night (Tuesday, January 20) along with Katie Hopkins, Nadia Sawalha and Alicia Douvall.
But housemates were unaware that the planned eviction had been called off following Alexander O'Neal's premature departure.
Big Brother revealed a nomination twist instead which saw Katie Price saving one evictee and putting another housemate up in their place.
Katie had to pick to save the most entertaining nominated housemate, and replace them with the least entertaining non-nominated housemate. She chose to save Katie Hopkins, and selected Calum Best, who now joins the aforementioned list of evictees.
Katie reasoned that she picked Calum because she "knows he will be safe".

Alexander O'Neal has dramatically quit the Celebrity Big Brother house following his most recent confrontation with Perez Hilton.
The showbiz blogger had been provoking the Us singer by intentionally coughing loudly by his bed in an attempt to wake him up. He later continued to antagonise O'Neal by following him around the house, smiling and blowing kisses provocatively.
O'Neal retaliated by using a homophobic slur to describe Hilton, which prompted a formal warning by Big Brother. But the pair clashed again after Hilton taunted him by breathing over housemates' food.
While wholly unacceptable for such an offensive term to ever be used in any circumstance, O'Neal immediately showed remorse and regret for his ugly outburst.
Having watched the whole scene unfold, Hilton had been pushing for a reaction, continuing to intentionally aggravate the star - we're still not even sure why - to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible.

"I hate it more than anything," he said. "I just don't approve of racism. I just disapprove of it so much. I don't advocate it, I don't want anything to do with it or with anybody that feels that way because my take on it is - what about the human race?
"We are all completely different and we are made different for a purpose. Being born and raised in Mississippi going through civil rights, I just don't approve of racism. If I came up against someone that didn't feel that way in the house, well then, 'Oh, it's on'."

Celebrity Big Brother's Cami Li has become immune from eviction this week and now has the power to decide the fate of her housemates.
The news was revealed by host Emma Willis tonight (January 13) in a live twist, taking the place of the eviction cancelled in the wake of Ken Morley's removal from the house.
Big Brother informed the gathered housemates that their futures in the house would be determined by a game played live, with the group told that one of them would face eviction as a result.
Playing first, Nadia was deemed safe and asked to select the photograph of which fellow celebrity she would like to save.
Choosing Patsy Kensit, the former Emmerdale star picked Perez Hilton who in turn saved Alexander O'Neal. The singer picked Callum Best, while he saved Michelle Visage. The game continued as Michelle selected Katie Hopkins, who chose Kavana who opted to save Alicia Douvall.

Alicia Douvall has caused a furore in the Celebrity Big Brother house by stealing two bananas and hiding them under her bed.
In scenes airing tonight (January 13), the former glamour model was chatting to fellow celebrity housemates Katie Hopkins and Cami Li about her youngest daughter's strict dietary routine. She told the pair that she doesn't give her 3-year-old meat unless she requests it, and won't allow her to eat sugar either.
When Cami enquired about what happens when she is invited to a birthday party, Alicia replied that she refuses to allow her to go unless the parents specifically cater for her daughter's diet.
This prompted Katie to tell Alicia that she avoids "weirdo mums" and wouldn't be inviting her child to any of her own children's parties.
Alicia was later spotted by Michelle Visage sneaking two bananas from the store room and concealing them under her bed, with...

Ken Morley has defended his remarks on Celebrity Big Brother in his first interview since being ejected from the show.
The former Coronation Street actor was removed from the house after making several offensive racist and sexist remarks during his stay.
Appearing on ITV's Loose Women today (January 13), Morley insisted that his use of the word "n***o" when recalling a story with Frank Bruno was not offensive, as the boxer found it funny at the time.
Explaining the use of the same word during a discussion with Alexander O'Neal, Morley said: "With Alexander, we were discussing terminology in the Americans, and I said Martin Luther King used a word to define what a black man was in America in the '60s. The American army now used that word. It is outdated, granted."
When pushed for an apology from the Loose Women panellists, he said: "Oh yes, of course I'm sorry.
