Prince Does Hollywood?

Prince is expected to announce a seven-week residency at Los Angeles' Roosevelt Hotel beginning in June.

Following on the heels of his announcement of a London residency in August, the star is expected to confirm seven Friday-night performances at the historic Hollywood hotel later this week.

Pending approval of a contract currently under negotiation, the shows will begin on June 15 and continue until the end of July, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Prince will reportedly be joined each week by a special guest, and deliver a two-hour performance beginning at 11:30 pm in the hotel's 250-seat Blossom Room.

Prince's chef will take over the hotel kitchen at 2am, turning the hotel restaurant into an after-hours dinner club where Prince will entertain diners until 4am as part of a jazz ensemble.
