Is it true they once were an 'item'? Or was it just a fling? Has either ever spoke about it?

Just friends-
Remember that Prince's 1/2 sister Sharon lived in New York.
Small world around the same time Madonna moved from Detroit to New York.

I heard that they were an item during 84-85. At the very least, I think they slept together.

Prince wanted to talk to her about starring in a film with him (early version of Graffitti Bridge), and invited her to his home to discuss it.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER had a WHOLE BIG ARTICLE ON THEIR ROMANCE...SAID SEAN PENN BROKE In HER DOOR and WAS SCREAMING That HE DIDN"T WANT HER DATING PRINCE.I LOVE MADONNA and CONFESSIONS ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS GREAT. There she GOES AGAIN..THE QUEEN....

No. She's not his style. He has to be the center of attention. Maybe a flirtation but thats it. Madgey is too bossy and direct.

I dunno.

I have a hard time believing they'd have a proper relationship. Both like to play the primadonna part too much. I'd believe they shagged though.

They dated briefly in early 1985.I heard that they had WILD sex in the back of his limousine.That's how he came up with the lyric "It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine" from 'A Love Bizarre'.

NO! I refuse to believe it...

I read that he rented a RESTAURANT JUST FOR THE 2 OF THEM..... They Could have HOOKED UP THERE. However, Madonna said in T.V. GUIDE PRINCE IS NOT THE SAME WAY OFF OF THE STAGE. HE DOESN"T LIKE PEOPLE TO TOUCH HIM.

Becuase he's afraid he might catch something from the plebes.

Prince: "Ew.....commoners!"

That Madonna quote may be right. Artistic types are nearly always idiosyncratic. If not for their talent and creativity, they'd be pariahs in society. The Prince/Madonna hook-up was nothing more than a publicity stunt....it was strictly business people..

Prince wanted to make a movie with her since 1985.He originally offered her the Mary Sharon role in 'Under The Cherry Moon'.Then in September 1987,he invited her to Paisley Park to show her an early script of 'Graffiti Bridge'.He wanted her to co-star,but she declined.

Wise decision on her part. It must be hard being a friend of Prince. It's not like you could tell him, "Hey Skipper, this script stinks. But I love you though." If you did, I get the feeling it would be the end of the friendship.

Prince does come off as being a difficult bitch, doesn't he?

how could two hot celebs that were totally obssessed with sex not have slept together of course they did and they had enough in common to justify it (not that it needs to be justified) but it's as likely to have happened as it is unlikely that madonna would have slept with mj, if that makes any sense...

Listen,,They DEFINITELY DID... WHOMEVER MADONNA wanted to FUCK..She FUCKED. LOOK at VANILLA ICE and DENNIS RODMAN? She DEFINITELY WOULDA Wanted to FUCK PRINCE. He probably liked her CORSET LOOK also. Plus both BIG STARS at the time Coming up and PROBABLY INTRIQUED,plus both from the MIDWEST.
