Star Tribune: C.J visits Toronto falls upon tidbit of Prince gossip

C.J. Star Tribune
Published Dec. 5, 2002 http://www.startribune.co...75295.html

Prince can't escape

We had a divine dinner at Bigliardi's, where George Bigliardi's Vodka-laced penne recipe leaves me little hope that mine will measure up. Our second night out, we ejoyed culinary enchantment and celebrity gossip at the Centro Grill and Wine Bar. The Prince fodder was almost as gnice as the butternut squash gnocchi. (The gnocchi was so heavenly that I took the leftovers back to the Fairmount Royal York, stowed them in our hotel room refrigerator and unabashedly warmed it up for lunch the next day with the bathroom hair dryer. I was afraid of what the hotel -- Queen Elizabeth stayed there -- would charge to nuke my gnocchi. The dryer worked just fine and was rather ingenious, eh?) As you may or may not know, Prince's alleged current wife, Manuela Testolini, is from Toronto. Prince has reportedly bought a new place in the Bridal Path area, but I wouldn't impose on Scrawler to take me out there. Prince reportedly left the Centro staff with an unforgettable memory. Proprietor Tony Longo confirmed a report of Symbolina sipping a glass of red wine through a straw. A commentary on the cleanliness of Centro's wine glasses? Probably not. Every detail of this restaurant gleams. I suspect that Symbolina was trying to minimize the damage red wine can do to pearly whites. Delivery of Prince's straw did not go flawlessly. The sipping tool was presented on a plate, but it blew off and dropped to the floor just as Longo arrived at Prince's balcony table. With a face turned as red as the wine, Longo said, "I'll be right back with another one."

I do think the fact that Prince wanted to sip his wine through a straw is pretty funny though.

CJ justs makes this stuff up. She can't even make up interesting stories. There's nothing scandalous or juicy about this story! Prince is a joker, we know that. Maybe this was some fun he was having with the waitor. Probably it's just CJ's uncreative imagination.

Did she audition to be in the Revolution and get laughed out of the building? That might explain her childish grudge.

Please don't come back to Toronto, Billy Jack Bitch. Or we'll shove YOU through a straw!

CJ ,please tell us something we don't already Know about Prince. I don't really care about his Nickname symbolina cause it sounds Girlish and Prissy. I think Prince is sufficient. I don't see what the Hoopla is about Prince drinking Wine or getting Irritated at a fan is. He is Human and he has emotions and feelings and why can't he just do as he pleases without the Big-2 Do? Boy,the fans really should just let him do what he pleases and not worry so much about his Life.

I am sooo tired of the stupid "Symbolina" name that CJ calls Prince (old news). rolleyes Prince should just call her "Billy Jack Bitch" or BJB for short, since no longer curses.
