    Having worked pretty extensively with celeb handler types in the past, I wouldn’t be shocked to learned this was their zealousness rather than Prince’s (or the zealousness of the New Girl people obsessed with keeping him happy after taking an off-handed remark too seriously, because it goes the other way, too). I once had a celebrity PR person basically convince me if Samuel L. Jackson had to do literally anything for himself at a fundraiser my employer was holding I would never work again and horrible things would rain down on my non-profit.

    Mr. Jackson—Sam—was not keen on the level of attention I was dictated to have (he wasn’t annoyed, but he was like “you really don’t have to...”), and even asked me at one point “Did [publicist] tell you I needed someone to shadow me? Don’t worry.” Based on his behavior over the course of the evening (amazing), I am more inclined to believe his publicist was overreacting than he was uncharacteristically chill with me.

      This lovely NYMag piece on the episode (I think by the producer) makes it likely it was a bit of both: http://www.vulture.com/2016/04/new-gi...

      They all overreact. I hate PR people. I imagine one time they got bloody screamed at and never, ever forgot it. So I kinda get it. But I hate working with talent and PR people on any level for that reason. #notimeforcray

    A few things

    • Prince will not be matched in my lifetime, on any level.
    • I always wonder if the Kardashians are laughing all the way to the bank or crying because they won’t ever really be in with the cool kids.
    • They didn’t have a shredder?

      Dude, up until just a few years ago, we used to schlep around an actual fax machine at the production company I work for. We would have to scramble to find a real phone line in order to use it.

    It was such a sweet episode - I had already given up on New Girl, but made sure to watch this one. I immediately rewatched when Prince had died. Eat your pancake!

    This is Dwayne Wade crying during the National Anthem before a playoff game why? He had just read an interview of Prince where he said Wade was his favorite basketball player Prince was an amazing human being

    Prince. Not only an icon, but a man of impeccable taste as well.

      I know. Some website (Daily Mail?) had pix of his estate on some island. And it was the most beautiful, relaxed, elegant place you could imagine. I mean, I think if Prince wasn’t a musician, he could have been Martha Stewart.

      I can’t get over it either. I’ve never felt like this about an artist, the only word that describes it is devastated. It's like a light went out in the world.

    First reaction: FUCK YEAH!

    Second reaction: I miss Prince :(

    Does this mean that people will follow suit and start to burn anything relating to these vapid trolls? Pretty please?

      I have this mental image of Zooey trying to be twee and show Prince what Siri is like, while he has the biggest “What the Hell are you so obsessed over?” look on his face.

      Also, let’s have a gif party that speculates to what Kris did when she got wind of this... I’ll start:
