Yesterday morning on “The View”, Prince surprised the ladies by walking out during “Hot Topics” and presented the ladies with tickets to his upcoming concert in NYC .

Sherri Shepherd looked like she was about to lose her mind when the pop star sat next to her. Once Shepherd got it together, she told Prince she always wanted to make love to him, which prompted him to flee the stage.

Prince is getting dragged into court by high powered attorney Ed McPherson, who claims his purple highness owes him a royal fortune nearly $50,000 for services rendered.

According to the lawsuit, Prince hired McPherson to represent him on two different cases and racked up a legal bill of $49,987.74. McPherson says he "performed legal services on [Prince's] behalf in an exemplary manner" but has yet to get paid.

Prophetically, one of the cases Prince hired McPherson for was a lawsuit by an agency, which like McPherson, claimed Prince screwed them over financially.

In the docs, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, McPherson claims he made "countless attempts to resolve this matter" with Prince.

Prince's rep hasn't returned our call yet.

Prince will join the ranks of those like Whitney Houston, Diana Ross and James Brown, just to name a few, who have already received BET's Lifetime Achievement Award. Prince has been around for a lifetime providing his fans with music. He is known mostly for R&B and Rock. Stephen Hill, President of Programming for BET, says the tribute will be 'unique.' What other word describes Prince? Very interested in seeing who will partake in the tribute...
