Dan Gross | Prince picks his LaBelle
PRINCE knows how to pick 'em.
He pulled a few folks on stage to dance during his Tuesday night show at the Wachovia Center.
But when he announced "I'm looking for a blonde," he walked straight to Section 101. A few rows up he pointed to a woman in a camel-colored suit with a matching hat, and nodded to security that she was the one.
As Patti LaBelle began to walk toward the stage, the crowd began to recognize her.
LaBelle was introduced by the Artist Currently Known as Prince and sang and danced with him for a tune, then returned to her seat.
Yesterday, we mentioned that Bette Midler caught only an hour of Prince's Monday show.
We've since learned she saw the whole show, but from different seats.
First, Midler was seated down front, but the diva, we're told, was too visible for her liking.
Her party moved to Section 112, where she must have had the same fear, as they moved again, into a handicapped seating area.
Jon Bon Jovi was also in the house that night, in one of the Center's luxury suites.
