Electra, Hilton sisters frolic at after-parties

Thermal, Calif. – Carmen Electra showed off her fiance and black diamond engagement ring at an exclusive Coachella after-party, while the Hilton sisters frolicked with their beaus.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden arrived just before midnight Saturday, greeting DJ Steve Aoki with hugs at an airport hangar transformed into a makeshift nightclub about eight miles from the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

While Nicky Hilton and David Katzenberg held court in a corner booth at the invite-only T-Mobile Tone Def After Party, Electra and Rob Peterson wandered with their hands firmly clasped.

Electra announced her engagement to the musician Thursday.

Prince plays Coachella, covers Radiohead

Indio, Calif. – “Coachella, I am here.”

Prince hit the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with that announcement, heralding his arrival as the much-anticipated headliner of the summer festival.

Prince, who had been sought out to perform at Coachella since the festival was founded nine years ago, told the crowd that when he agreed to perform, he informed the organizers that he would not only play, but party too.

One of the big surprises of Prince’s concert was his cover of Radiohead’s “Creep,” which was sure to be one of Coachella’s most talked-about performances.

With some lyrics adjusted, a ripping guitar solo and extended falsetto crooning for a finale, Prince’s “Creep” had the crowd slack-jawed.

To close the set, he gave another unique take on a song not his own: the Beatles’ “Come Together.” He urged the audience – whom he called his “choir” – to sing.
