Oh, what a difference a few years make.

That is what happens when you have money. You get the best of the best and your look changes. And I am not saying Mani is not beautiful, we all saw her style before she married Prince and people spoke about how bad she dressed then. Now she has money and she can now purchase the best of everything so Mani's style and look is suppose to change. I always say it's a bad day when you can afford the best and you still look like a hot mess like some of these stars look.

I am sorry but in the on picture of Anand Jon and Mani together he looks a little strung out if you ask me. Not Manis style. Well, I guess do what you have to do to get into the incrowd, and stay on top. What do you think Prince would say?? Well, like Mayte too: Prince to Tommy from one end to the other.

I completely agree with you. Big time!

Every time I look at Mani in these pics and her expression, I can't help but wonder if she's sending a message to Prince fans - that's right bitches, I did it!

Mani is beautiful, but I've always felt that she was opportunistic and took advantage of a good thing

She looks GREAT!!!!! =) Love her!!!

Mani look is pure beauty. She looks beautiful. For some reason, she looks alot like Vanity. It's like the second coming of Vanity. LOL

Mani was with Prince for what, 6-7 years??

She had access to his money during that time, so I'm really having a hard time understanding why she supposedly looks better because she received money from her divorce from Prince.

Maybe she couldn't dress up the way she wanted for some...reason... Now, she's rich and able to make her own decision...just a thought.

She looks very beautiful.Her brother is fine
I love her outfit....the green and black look fabulous
and her curls look luscious

yall are assuming that the divorce is final. dont ya think if it was we would have heard from CJ by now?

When people are unhappy emotionally or stressed their bodies react in different ways. some people gain weight, others lose. me personally, i always lost weight (to an unhealthy degree) when emotionally unhappy or stressed. so, you could always tell when my life is in an upswing because i start looking healthier and putting back on the anorexic looking weight i lost during that dismal time.

On her own website, Mani doesn't appear as being married to Prince anymore. That's were the assumption is coming from. We might never hear if the divorce is ever final considering how both of them stay very discreet...which I really like from Mani btw.

malbena said:

you dont need to hear from them to know. it is a matter of public record. btw..ironically it turns out there was an article yesterday by CJ stating that Mani's attorney just filed a request to open disovery with regard to California property....soooo, the divorce is still pending.

malbena said:

Could you maybe clear that statement up a tad?
How can he be too "old" to be her father?

obsessed said:

I meant young. Thank you!

malbena said:

I figured that's what you meant..

txladykat said:

I'm not assuming anything. I never stated whether I thought they were divorced or not. I was addressing what others seem to be implying - that she looks better because she has access to expensive clothes, tailors, etc because of money from a divorce settlement.

its all good hon. sometimes its hard to intepret one's typing on the net. i thought you were saying they were already divorced. kinda funny though that just following these posts, ms CJ herself came out with such an article,

wonder505 said:

Dying I can't help but think the same thing when I see all these pics. She's a stunning woman though. Prince has alwasy had good taste - physically.

wonder505 said:

Again, I agree. I can't believe that I agree with sosgemini on anything.

malbena said:

I third that!

PurpleCharm said:

I don't think she looks better now. Unlike many of the haters, I always thought that she was a stunning woman. Having access to the best should improve anyone's look. She looked pretty to me when she was with P and she still looks pretty now. Obviously when you have access to the type of money that Prince has - whether married, separated or divorced, you can afford the best food, beauty treatments, personal care, clothing, etc.

I don't know what she looked like before Prince. I only know of her while she was with Prince and now. And like I said, to me she's always been pretty. I can't speak on anything else.

She is looking much better

Jiminy said:

What Egyptian background, her motheer is black and her father is white. She does indeed look better plus she is smiling again she didn't for a long time with Prince!

Sorry about the previous post. Her mother is Egyptian and her father is Italian. You can read that on her Gamillah website.

Anand has been arrested on rape charges.



Fashion designer to the stars, Anand Jon, was arrested and jailed after cops say he raped two people.

According to the felony complaint obtained by TMZ, Jon allegedly committed a variety of horrific acts on four separate victims between October of 2004 and March 5, 2007. Along with two counts of forcible rape, Jon is also facing charges of "sexual battery by restraint, attempted forcible oral copulation and two counts of committing a lewd act upon a child."

In the document, police claim that Anand, 30, used an accomplice during the alleged sexual battery and forcible copulation. The investigation into that person is ongoing.

Jon, who has been featured on MTV and is known to hang out with Paris Hilton, Paula Abdul and Michelle Rodriguez, was arrested by Beverly Hills Police on March 6, after one of his accusers came forward to authorities. An investigation uncovered three other potential victims, the youngest of whom is 15-years-old.

Jon is currently behind bars in Los Angeles County Jail, as reported earlier by New York Daily News, with bail set at $1,365,000. Jon is due back in court to face a judge on April 4.

Paris Hilton was scheduled to attend a major launch of Anand Jon's new line in India in Fall 2007, where Jon was born. The New York based designer has appeared on "America's Next Top Model." AJ Jeans were unveiled on Valentine's Day at MAGIC, a huge fashion industry convention in Las Vegas.

In 2004, Anand was featured in the "Power & Influence" list in Newsweek. He was also selected by then NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for a 2000 showcase as one of the top seventy-five designers in the world. Anand's hand-painted Medusa Jeans retail for a whopping $720.

Immigration authorities have also placed a hold on Alexander and will take custody of him after local authorities complete their prosecution. Lori Haley, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said she had no immediate information on Alexander's immigration status, but added most holds occur when officials believe someone is in the country illegally.
