New York Daily News - Daily Dish & Gossip - Rush & Molloy: Donna recalls Summer-time blues: "The Artist Once Again Known as Prince may not be playing concerts any more, but he is making house calls.

The devout Jehovah's Witness recently startled a Jewish couple in Eden Prairie, Minn., by ringing their doorbell and asking to come inside and discuss his faith.

He was accompanied by former Sly and the Family Stone/Graham Central Station bass player Larry Graham.

The pint-size popster showed up around 2 p.m. on Oct. 5, just before the start of Yom Kippur, according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune. The resident, identified only as Rochelle, recalled telling the Prince-ling: 'You know what? You've walked into a Jewish household, and this is not something I'm interested in.'

'He says, 'Can I just finish?'

'Then the other guy, Larry Graham, gets out his little Bible and starts reading scriptures about being Jewish and the land of Israel.'

A woman answering the description of Prince's wife, Manuela Testolini, was waiting in a black truck outside. Rochelle said the three drove off together and appeared not to call on any other houses on the street.

Prince's lawyer, Londell Macmillan, told us the star was 'very committed' to the Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eden Prairie couple also noted their annoyance that he showed up in the middle of a Minnesota Vikings game."
