Casting call for a film about the man's life (and his proteges)

With all this talk about former bandmembers dying (true or untrue) and speculation on whether the man still has it, wouldn't it be fun to look back and cast who would star in a film dramatization of Prince's life?

Gina Torres as Cat
Gina Gershon and that other girl from "Snoops" as Wendy and Lisa
Alfonso Ribeiro as Jerome (in platforms, to compensate for size)
Gina Torres as Cat
Carmen Electra as herself
Jessica Alba as Mayte
Jennifer Lopez as Vanity (just pile on the eye make-up)
Bob Belden as Dr. Fink
Gina Torres as Cat
Nicole Deboer as Ingrid Chavez
Tracy Morgan as Dez Dickerson
Boy George as Bobby Z
Rockwell as Morris Day
Brittany Murphy as Sheila E
Gina Torres as Cat
J. August Richards as Brownmark/Miko Weaver/Levi Seacer (alias Alfred) (just do a split-screen deal)
Ed Norton as Eric Leeds
Frenchie as Rosie Gaines (why not? just to hear her rendition of "Diamonds and Pearls")
Vesta as Boni Boyer
El Debarge as Atlanta Bliss (he's a Prince wannabe, anyway)
Wesley Snipes as Andre Cymone
Oh, and before I forget, Gina Torres as Cat

And who to play the man? I'm stumped. Prince may not be Michael Jackson, but he's clearly not the same man he was in 1978. So, I'd have to go with a non-brotha. How 'bout Dave Navarro?

Have fun!

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
