I was at Banana Republic tonight. Benet was at the checkout counter buying a bunch of stuff as I walked past to check out some sunglasses. Sharp-looking bro, nodded hello when we briefly made eye contact, lots of bags, no sign of Mani.

I'd have given him my autograph had he asked, but he respected my space, bless his heart.

Sooo.... yeah, not much of a story here. But no one else I know would care at all. The org's a good vent for this sort of midnight twaddle.

I"m assuming "Mani" is Prince's ex? Is Benet living here now?

Yep, that Mani. They announced their engagement just weeks ago. I don't know what percentage of time they spend here, but I think she was awarded that ginormous airport-looking house on the Bridle Path in the final divorce settlement with Prince a couple years back. It's only maybe 5-10 mins. from where I saw Eric.

He actually looked leaner than I expected. The rump was nicely proportioned to the rest of him. Not so big.

I used to drive by there all the time (it was a shortcut to my parents' neighbourhood).

Your parents must be RICH! You need an adopted brother by chance?!?

My parents aren't Bridle-Path-rich. I grew up upper-middle-class, I guess you would say.

That's cool. I saw him live at BB Kings Bar And Grill in NYC a few yrs. ago...very talented guy.

This house? It's for lease.

So basically...squeezable...ya know, like maybe Charmin? Not that I go around wanting to test that sort of thing out or anything

I think that's it. It's actually tough to see from the street as it's surrounded by tall bushes and a big sunburst design driveway gate.

So then Mani and family aren't using the home -- and may not even own it. Maybe we could chip in and make this the org's world headquarters!

Well I wouldn't expect you to be interested in Eric Benet's posterior...just sayin' that I noticed he (and John Legend seem to have a little extra in the glutimus maximus department...again, not that I notice those sorts of things er, um...that much

You think so? I find it terribly outdated and the decor tacky. It needs some serious upgrading.

I'm not a huge fan of it either. It looks like something out of Logan's Run.

With all the updates needed, I can't believe that this house is worth 5M. I see the same thing around here though. Multi-million dollar homes that are straight out of the 80s. There is no way I would ever spend money on something that looks old and needs that much work.

But that's just me.

Yuck... there was nothing in this house that appealed to me at ALL! Looks like an old converted middle school...

I think that music is funny... It's like cliche pseudo Prince slow funk jam porno palace music.

Logan's Run or C-Spot Run, I could easily live in that loft tip toe to the kitchen so as not to disturb anyone, check out what's in the fridge, whip up a meal while the music is thumping from every wall. Look around for that lil Spanish dude to pop out of no where and serve him up a lil vino or sumthin I'm easy like Sunday morning. Yeah, I could live all up in that loft.

All of his houses looked cold and uninviting to me but the house in Spain was the ultimate in tacky.
