NORM: Signs suggest Prince to rule Rio

Prince fans soon may be partying like it's 1999.

A Web site connected to Prince is hinting that his rumored Rio headliner deal is done.

Since Monday, his www.3121.com Web site -- a reference to his "3121" album -- has been showing only a red-and-blue graphic in the shape of the Rio.

Recent sightings of Prince at the Rio and elsewhere with Harrah's executives have fueled the rumors, and he's known for sending cryptic clues to his fans.

"It looks good. Take it to the bank," said a source close to the Prince camp.

MORE TO COME?

Roy Horn had a promise for his fans Tuesday, his 62nd birthday.

"I will do a show again. Keep watching," Horn told a crowd of 100 during Siegfried & Roy's Walk of Stars induction ceremony in the shadow of their three-story-high statue in front of The Mirage.

They arrived in a white Bentley Corniche IV convertible and waved from atop the back seat, with a police escort.

For many who had not seen him in months, Horn had another surprise: He walked without assistance several times, other than occasionally placing his hand on Siegfried's shoulder, and stood by himself at length.

"Life is good," Horn told the crowd. "I'm not done yet."

MORE FROM MURPHY

Sandy Murphy wants to clear up a "miscommunication" about the $4.5 million in court costs.

During our interview last week, Murphy mentioned she has signed a judgment agreement.

In a follow-up interview, she said she recently signed a court document, agreeing to pay back the costs, which was the agreement from the day her benefactor, William Fuller, got involved, she said.

"My parents put up the equity, and Bill put up the cash," she said.

There is no rift or falling out, she said. "He is very dear to me."

Her mortgage company is doing so well, she said, that she should have the debt paid in full within two years.

Meantime, Herb Sachs, Murphy's attorney for 3 1/2 years, said Fuller has reneged on an agreement to pay him the remaining $225,000 in legal fees. Sachs said he is suing to recover the remaining three-quarters of his legal bill.

On another matter, Murphy asked that I correct my misstatement concerning a reference to her going on Nancy Grace's CNN show in 2004.

Murphy said she agreed to interviews with Fox's Greta Van Susteren, CNN's Larry King, and others but not Grace.

THE SCENE AND HEARD

Crooner Michael Buble was announced Tuesday as part of the entertainment lineup for the Andre Agassi Grand Slam for Children on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden. The evening will include a special guest star.
