PRINCE AND HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND, BALLERINA MISTY COPELAND

According to our spy at the Elton John Oscar party, Prince was one of the nicest and most polite celebrities to arrive – he waited patiently and turned down an offer to be escorted to the front of the line. We predicted that he would move on from his last girlfriend Bria Valente to concentrate on American Ballet Theater soloist Misty Copeland, and it looks like we were right. Misty was his Oscar night date. It also looks like he designed her dress because it somewhat resembles the dress he designed for his Oscar date Kim Basinger many years ago! (He loves shoulderpads and asymmetrical looks.)

Ballerina Ballet Girlfriend Misty Copeland Prince

PRINCE HAS HIS EYE ON BALLERINA MISTY COPELAND

Prince has become smitten with the talents of American Ballet Theater’s rare black soloist Misty Copeland and he wants her to perform with him as often as possible. It all started last year when he selected the exquisite ballerina to dance in his “Crimson and Clover” video (above.) She did, and now he’s coaxed her into performing live with him at concerts at Madison Square Garden and other east coast venues. Misty, 28, is flattered, but does she know this is how Prince, 52, recruits girlfriends? Usually he promotes his girlfriends careers, but Misty doesn’t need any help – she’s extremely successful. Prince’s present girlfriend and protege, Bria Valente (AKA Brenda Fuentes) should consider herself warned. (Personally, we find the video too psychedelic and it doesn’t do Misty justice.)
