Hear BEYONCE KNOWLES talk about the first time she ever performed with Prince, how she stole his mic, did his “wooo-ooop” yell, and couldn’t stop Sasha Fierce from coming out!

In this historic interview by editor Scott Poulson-Bryant for the re-launch issue of GIANT magazine with BEYONCE KNOWLES, the diva talks about her first time sharing a stage with The Purple One while rehearsing with the Grammies.

Hear how she stole his mic, did his “wooo-ooop” yell, and had Sasha Fierce come out!

ALSO:  Click HERE to watch Prince perform “Purple Rain” for the very first time, live from the First Avenue club, Minneapolis.

Must admit I was a little weirded out when I heard a song by Grammy Award winner Estelle in the latest Crystal Light commercial. I mean, doesn’t that stuff cause cancer or something? But hearing the track “Star” she’s singing while three oh-so-happy ladies swirl around in oh-so-colorful saccharine la-la land is actually waaay cooler when listening to it on your headphones.

Check it out!

One GIANT scribe shares his post-Grammy thoughts. For more Grammys coverage, click here to check out our live Grammy blog.

1. Chris Brown and Rihanna are the new Ike and Tina? Never thought I’d see the day. Did he really manhandle Rihanna right before the damn Grammys? For some reason, the first thing that came to my my mind when I heard Chris allegedly put hands on a chick was Chris Tucker’s comedy bit about Michael Jackson being a pimp.

2. Jay-Z didn’t know what to do with his hands when he was performing with Coldplay but he looked old and stiff trying to stay in rhythm with the piano. It looks like he was either trying to do a geriatric dance or translating song lyrics in sign language while Chris Martin was going on those keys.

3. Even though she’s a bit of an eye sore, Adele is dope.

4. Not mad at MIA for performing preggers on her due date but did she really have to go out there 9 months pregnant in polka dot spandex? I wonder what would have happened if her water broke in the middle of Weezy’s verse on the “Swagger Like Us” performance?

5. Kanye and Estelle looked like an old Soul Train flashback. All that’s missing is Don Cornelius and that scrambled letters board. Kanye has officially lost it with this damn afro-mullet…if I’m not mistaken, he swaggerjacked that shag from Theo Huxtable.

6. The great Stevie Wonder…and the fuckin Jonas Brothers? One of them has a pompadour and is singing into Stevie’s mic! There is no singing into Stevie’s mic!!! I know Mr. Wonder is unable to see just how retardedly uncool these boys are but his manager can. He should be posting his resume on Monster.com right now and applying for new employment. How did this get signed off?

Chris Brown turned himself into the LAPD tonight and is accused of attacking an as-of-yet unidentified young woman.

It isn’t confirmed that the woman is Rihanna, but the couple both pulled out of their scheduled Grammy performances last-minute and without much explanation. E! News reports the following:

“Los Angeles police have confirmed Brown, 19, is being investigated for felony domestic battery. Sources tell E! News that the alleged victim was Rihanna, 20, and that she had visible bruises on her face.”

The couple were photographed leaving together in a Lamborghini moments before the incident at the 2009 Grammy Salute To Industry Icons in Beverly Hills. Several reports say the woman assaulted was traveling with him in his car. When police were called and arrived, he ditched the car and jet…

This story is getting crazy!
