Inside Of The Purple Party

Shortly after 10 a.m. Monday in Los Angeles, Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner Penelope Cruz made her scheduled appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" at LA's Kodak Theater -- after leaving an after party that ended just five hours earlier.

While she didn't say which bash she attended, WENN reported Monday that Prince threw a midnight concert at Hollywood's Avalon Ballroom that was dedicated to the Spanish actress.

"Fans and famous friends paid $100-a-head to join the 'Purple Rain' hitmaker at his Sunday midnight party, which doubled as the launch for his new Web site LotusFlow3r.com," WENN reported. Oscars attendees Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah and nominee Taraji P. Henson were among the audience.

Prince reportedly performed a string of hits and covers from upcoming releases, including The Cars' "Let's Go" and "Crimson & Clover," a chart-topper for Tommy James and the Shondells.

Announcing, "I'm the DJ tonight," Prince also played covers of the Beatles� "Come Together" and the Rolling Stones� "Honky Tonk Woman" as well as The Time's "Jungle Love" and "Play That Funky Music." He ended the show with an encore of "I Feel For You" at almost 3.30 a.m.
