The legendary musician’s estate has been tallying up his items for the better part of the year and revealed that the artist born Prince Rogers Nelson left behind nearly $3,000,000 in music equipment. The Blast reports : On September 7, the estate filed an inventory of the current assets and property from the time period of February 2017 to January 2018. During that timeframe, Prince pulled in $755,173.41 in royalties, an additional $2.45 million in “other income,” $20,112 in rental income and $277k in tax refunds. They note that in previous inventory filings, they forgot to mention Prince had two additional gold bars — “1 ounce each” — worth a total of $2,502. Prince’s estate has $15,196,500 worth of real estate and $19,612,358.47 in notes and cash. The docs redacted the amounts of stocks and other personal property the singer owned. An appraiser hired by the estate determined that Prince’s musical instruments are worth an estimated $2,858,875 and photographs he had could sell for $40,165. The other personal items he owned could be worth around $900,000. The estate continues to hammer out itemizing all of the late singer’s belongings in what appears to be preparations for a public sale or auction. — Photo: WENN

Who Will Prince’s $300 Million Fortune Go To??

Prince’s Heir Remains A Mystery While the legendary pop/rock/r&b icon’s life is still being mourned and remembered by millions…the person who stands to make a major windfall by inheriting his $300 million fortune remains undetermined and foggy. Via Page Six : Prince left behind an estate worth upward of $300 million — but the lucky person who will inherit his vast wealth ­remains a mystery. Twice divorced, the icon had no surviving children, and it’s unclear if he even created a will before his death Thursday morning. “Hopefully, Prince executed a trust and indicated his intentions, both with respect to who his trustee would be and how he would want the estate to be disposed of,” celebrity attorney Dan Streisand told Reuters. “Prince was an incredibly smart person, he had great legal representation . . . so I would suspect that somebody along the way said, ‘Look, we’ve got to get you to execute some documents.’ ” One possible trustee could be Prince’s younger sister, Tyka Nelson, who arrived at his Paisley Park pad Friday with purple hair. “He loved you back,” she told the hundreds of fans who’d assembled around the fence that surrounds his estate. Wow. It will be interesting to see who comes out of the woodwork to try to claim these hundreds of millions that appear to be up for grabs at the moment… WENN Continue reading

Grief At The Gates At Paisley Park: Mourning Prince In Minnesota

Country Music Stars Read Mean Tweets, Crack Us Up

Jimmy Kimmel got involved with some cross-promotion on ABC last night. Soon after the 2015 Country Music Awards aired on that network, the talk show host treated viewers to another edition of celebrities reading mean Tweets about themselves . This time, however, only country music stars were invited to read really cruel stuff aloud to the studio audience and millions watching at home. There was Carrie Underwood, for example, laughing over @thainfamous 365 writing about her: “Didn’t really like da carrie underwood concert seem do dull it had no excitement bring bcd da soccer team.” Ouch! We guess! Good luck making sense of that message. Darius Rucker also proved to be a good sport, sharing a Twitter user’s criticism that read: “Some of my best friends are black but Darrius rucker sucks ass.” According to a Tim McGraw critic, meanwhile, the artist’s new song was more embarrassing than one’s mother finding one’s penis pump, to which McGraw shot back to the user: “Reggie, you need to move out, man!” Even Willie Nelson got in on the Mean Tweets act, going over out a message that suggested marijuana clearly works wonders because Nelson is still alive and he simply won't die. “You got it!” he replied, with a big, knowing grin on his face. As for what made Rascal Flatts laugh uncontrollably? As for who else was the target of pointed, misspelled criticism? Watch and prepare to LOL many times over now:

Carrie Underwood-Brad Paisley Monologue Rips Blake, Duggars & More

Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley opened up the 2015 CMA Awards with another humorous monologue at their fellow stars' expense. They began by musicially riffing on everything that's “Cray Cray” in Hollywood, including Caitlyn Jenner and Josh Duggar (seriously). “Things are cray crazy, this world has gone bat poop cray cray,” Paisley sang. “McDonald's breakfasts all day now, Bruce Jenner's a babe now.” And, bat poop cray cray-est of all, “Trump's leading in the polls.” “You know what else is cray cray,” Paisley then continued. “How many famous couples have broken up this year! From Ben Affleck to Jennifer Garner, to Halle Berry and what's his name.” “Of course, we can't ignore the breakup that really rocked our world, the one that's on everybody's mind, two people in this very room.” The camera panned to Kermit and Miss Piggy in the crowd. “We love you both and just want you to be happy,” Carrie Underwood interjected. “On a completely unrelated topic: Howdy Blake!” Blake Shelton then waved, laughed and grinned. “Have you heard that duet that Blake did with Ashley Madison,” he then joked, confusing the cheating site with singer Ashley Monroe. Monroe is a longtime friend of Miranda Lambert, Blake's ex-wife, and a singer-songwriter in her own right who has worked with both. Carrie and Brad then sang a song about Ashley Madison, ending the tune with the lyrics, “Your cheatin' site will tell on you, Josh Duggar!” LOL. Any Duggar family-related humor making its way into a national television awards show is an instant winner in our book. Notably, during the monologue, cameras never panned to Lambert, who went on to win Female Vocalist of the Year as usual.
