After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll. |
because he's black, he's rich and he's famous, and they've got nothing else better to do. |

I am greatly honored to be here. I was anticipating this and hoping they would contact me. I am glad they did. |
I assume they'll be expelled. I mean, I know the school wouldn't ever let an athlete play here if they did something like this, so why would a student be allowed to stay? |

The Grand Princess is going to have the first wedding chapel at sea where the captain can actually marry you and you can have your reception on board. The choices on board these ships are second-to-none, and I would challenge any resort vacation to deliver the type of vacations that these new grand-class ships are going to deliver. |
