Prince calls celebs on stage to party at NYC show

[December 20, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Sherri Sheppard finally got her wish to spend the night with Prince -- but she had to share him with a few other celebrities, including Spike Lee, Naomi Campbell, Jamie Foxx and her "View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg.

Prince called Sheppard and a host of other stars on stage Saturday night at the end of his sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden. Lee played the tambourine as Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx, Professor Cornel West, talk-show host Tavis Smiley and others danced onstage.

Prince pretended to bolt from the stage when he mentioned Sheppard's name, but then slyly told her: "Come on, Sherri. Dance with me, please. I wanna see what you really do."

Prince recently made a surprise appearance on "The View" that left Sheppard swooning.
