Party like it’s ‘1999’ again
OVER Thanksgiving, the estate of Prince — the American rocker who sang, not the British prince who won’t sing — has reissued his album “1999.” The redo of the 1982 hit record includes new songs from a secret vault nobody has seen.
Estate managers are also hustling off bits of Prince’s personal bling. Like two Versace diamond bracelets — 7-inch circumference — in a floral design. Also some 14-karat white-gold, amethyst and 2.88-carat diamond necklace that hangs 2 ¹/2 inches. He wore the thing onstage.
MS Rau Antiques in New Orleans assesses these tchotchkes should bring 150K.

NEW movie “The Report” stars It guy Adam Driver as lead investigator for the Senate’s probe into the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program. Annette Bening is Dianne Feinstein. Tim Blake Nelson, playing an investigator: “I’m a news junkie who knows a good deal about this. The film doesn’t bog down in partisanship. It’s fair.” Yeah, right . . . The film “3 Days Rising,” inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe classic “The Fall of the House of Usher,” shot in West Orange, NJ. Mickey Rourke’s big scene is howling at the full moon. He told actor Ice-T and producer Noel Ashman he had his former dogs in mind and did the scene’s efforts in their memory . . . Listen, don’t ask.
