Well, well done peeps. Not bad going at all

2nd thread on the D-I-V-O-R-C-E subject (that IS what we're supposed to be discussing here...isn't it?) we're having to lock up and start afresh.

So, 3rd time lucky maybe? Sharpen up - those that are stirring up stuff that has no business here know who you are - and WE know who you are too.

We're watching.

So, as per the mod alerts on the previous 2 threads - it really can't be made any simpler:

ATTENTION!!!
Yes I do mean all of you!! After the mud flinging, trolling, religion, etc. previous threads turned into complete free-4-alls, and as such had to be

FINAL WARNING:
If the same uncivil crap starts up again, this one will not only get but repeat offenders will be looking at temp-bans.
Maybe this will afford those with hot heads a period to cool off and view from afar instead of contributing.

Because like the old saying goes:
"If you ain't got nuthin' nice to say - then don't say it at all"

So let's really try and keep this thread civil - and we mean it!

If you want to discuss matters regarding ANY political or religious issuess, then post only in the Politics and Religion Forum.

Prince and wife Manuela Testolini Nelson are divorcing, PEOPLE has learned.

Alan Eidsness, the lawyer representing Prince, confirms that a divorce action was filed at Minnesota's Hennepin County District Court on May 24. The documents are sealed.

Testolini Nelson, a Toronto native, is the founder and president of Gamillah, Inc., which operates, among other ventures, a production company and a line of designer candles. She is also involved with nonprofits including YouthCARE and United Communities Against Poverty.

Prince, who is working on a follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2006 album 3121, was previously married to backup singer and dancer Mayte Garcia from 1996 through 1998, when their union was annulled.

Representativess for Testolini Nelson had no comment; Prince could not be reached.

origmnd said:

All that is really left to say is that we wish Prince the best and he should know his fans love him unconditionally.

This morning after airing "Satisfied", a DJ was discussing the fact that Prince was going through a divorce. He mentioned that there seems to be a number of "stars" calling it quits on their marriages -- like Babyface and Eddie Murphy. He mentioned that the good thing about Prince's situation was the fact that he and Manuela had no children who would be hurt in this situation because for kids divorce is the worst.

On another note, he thought stars like Prince should take some advice from the most unlikely couple who's managed to keep their marriage together for a long time: Bobby and Whitney! Now that something to think about.

1FRO said:

So he wants them all to develop a drug habit that keeps them together?? That's a long way to go (DOWN) for a marriage to survive

CalhounSq said:

A much better example of a couple who's got it together would have been Ashford and Simpson.

1FRO said:

Yea but first you'd have to be able to remember Ashford & Simpson

CalhounSq said:

I do! Why do I suddenly feel old(er)? Thanks alot Calhoun!

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Damn. Part III???


Have there been any other topics that became a Trilogy?


It's gonna take all day to read all these replies.

I wonder who leaked the news to CJ.

PurpleCharm said:

Interesting it was leaked just before the tour kickoff (or at least tour announcement!) predicted by Graycap. Mind you, I'm skeptical of Gray's exact claims, but it's possible SOMEthing was supposed to drop, and the "leak" was an effort to undermine Prince?

Kinda like that info about the lawsuit over P's rental home, hitting the news the day before 3121 was released...

Also interesting the divorce was filed just a few days (May 24) before the Vegas gigs...

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Oh please, I remember them too!!

CalhounSq said:

And even they aren't currently living together. Or, did Bobby finally find out where Whitney disappared to?
