He discussed his misunderstood song lyrics, why he never votes, and how our government should "go by prophecy."

He also opened up about things he rarely, if ever, talks about, like how he was born with epilepsy and was mocked as a child because of it, and how his father was a drill sergeant when it came to playing the piano. As much as I love Prince, it seems like he's getting weirder, and not in the good exposed-butt-cheeks kind of way. Last night, he talked about how he believes in chemtrails, the conspiracy theory that the contrails left by flying jets are purposely laced with chemical agents released on the public for secret purposes. Also, his belief that our government should be based on prophecy and morals (as though it weren't already, but whatever) seems foolish for an artist to support, since morality is subjective. While his intentions behind these beliefs seem to come from a good place of love and understanding, it wouldn't necessarily be like that for many politicians or their censorship-friendly wives.

<![CDATA[So This Is What It Feels Like When Doves Cry: Part 2]]>

On the set of her new film The Ugly Truth, popular actress Katherine Heigl was greeted by her future self, circa the year 2020. In unison, Heigl and her future self said that each other looked fabulous and asked each other what their workout secret was. Present Heigl asked her future self to go first, but she insisted that present day Heigl go first. Eventually, they agreed that, after a count of three, they would say their secret at the same time. Their workout secret turned out to be kettle bells!

After much laughter, present day Heigl asked the reason for the visit from her future self. Future Heigl said, "Well, one, I really needed a Capri Sun. We ran out of these in the future. For the most part, we're doing great in the future aside from the Capri Sun drought. Still working. Nailed the transition to the movies full-time for a little bit, but now, the dismount back into television is proving a bit more difficult. Go figure. Anyways, just wondering if I could borrow some money to produce a demo for Joshua? I thought that VH1 would pay more for a reality series, but the checks are a little smaller than I thought and taking their sweet time getting there." Present day Heigl seemed upset at the news of doing a reality series in the future, but Future Heigl assured her that it's done all in good taste and asked if it would be cool if she took the rest of the Capri Sun supply.
