Yes, he’s a cute prince, but someone please tell Harry he should be seen and not heard, at least for a while. He is once again in the headlines for an insensitive remark.
At the 60th birthday party of his father Prince Charles, Harry reportedly told black comedian Stephen K. Amos “you don’t sound like a black chap.” Amos mentioned this incident yesterday on the British talk show “The Wright Stuff.” Amos said his first reaction was to ask the prince “How is I supposed to sound?”

This comes after Prince Harry has been condemned by the press for calling a fellow Pakistani army officer “a Paki” and referring to another member of his platoon as a “raghead.”
Naomi Bryon, the national secretary of Youth Against Racism in Europe, told the Daily Mirror that she doesn’t find fault just with Prince Harry but with the aristocratic circles in which he travels, which “obviously don’t have a problem with this kind of racist stereotyping.”
A statement released by the prince’s spokeswoman said, “We don’t comment on allegations about private conversations involving the prince, and we are unable to confirm whether it did or did not take place.”
Bruce Springsteen put on a great halftime show at the Super Bowl, but now he is in trouble with fans who were hoping to see his latest tour. New Jersey fans logged into Ticketmaster to try to purchase tickets to see The Boss, but instead were greeted with error messages. When they finally did get in, they were told the shows were sold out, but to go to TicketsNow where they could purchase seats. The only problem was that the tickets at TicketsNow were priced much higher than the original tickets.
Was The Boss trying to scalp his fans? No one knows for sure, but the New Jersey State Attorney General is starting an investigation as that was once referred to as scaling and it is illegal.
Bruce apologized to fans once again. He recently apologized for his record company making a deal to sell a hits CD exclusively at Wal Mart, which is not know for being union friendly.
