About a week ago Eonline's Ted Casablanca mentioned in his column "The Awful Truth" that Prince was drinkin' a bit of wine (among other things) at a club in L.A....Well apparently now it's all water for the purple man...at least around his wife?
Here is the Prince mention, in its entirety:
"Prince, bein' a good and randy hubby. Nikka Costa show. The Roxy. Hell-Ay. Black suit, red shirt with coordinated wife-unit Manuela, clad in a red dress and black boots. The mono-monikered, zillion-hit wonder cozied up to his babe and sucked down a lotta water but zero booze. See, she drinks--shared a bottle of vino with some friends. But rumor has it she likes her man sober. Can ya believe how cooperative this guy is? Well, I think it works for him, 'cause later that night they were spotted at a Rite Aid in WeHo buying goods of the more intimate variety. Love it!"

Here's the link for all you people who like to see where it's coming from:http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Awful/Daily2005/051123b.html

oh yea, can you see Prince just walking into a drug store and buying condoms and such, NOT

So the obvious questions, why was he hanging around with his ex-wife? And why is she drinking when she's pregnant?

you gotta buy 'em somewhere...

WHY NOT? He could be buying CONDOMS. At least he's CAREFUL and TRYING TO TELL US 2 BE CAREFUL TOO. I Really Don't even Know why having Drinks at a Club MEANS ANYTHINg CAUSE That is USUALLY WHAT PEOPLE DO AT CLUBS. IF EVERYONE DRANK WATER the CLUBS WOULDN"T MAKE ANY MONEY. They are IN THE BUSINESS of SELLING BOTTLES. If Manuela Not PRINCe is DRINKing it's BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO. Water IS ALOT HEALTHIER and if you WANNA KEEP IN SHAPE/WORK OUT you DRINK ALOT of WATER. Also, for COMPETITION you wanna DRINK WATER. But ya Balance Stuff out. NOBODY SAYS WRECK YA HEALTH. THAT's PLAIN OLE DUMB!

the gossip columnists must be bored as the rest of us.

Hehe

It could be true...PRINCE is human like the rest of us...

i am not knocking him for using them....but being such a private person, dont you think he would send one of his goonds out to get the condoms, or at the very least, whoever is his assistant at the moment..he is NOT going to go into a public drugstore and buy them himselves. Please, think about that one!

I think he has Changed and wants to show people/fans he is just a NORMAL GUY who is RESPONSIBLE. A ROLE MODEL for YOUNGER PEOPLE...USE A CONDOM....KNOWS this WILL GET PRESS..Not a BIG DEAL as LOADS of CELEBS are AIDS AWARE and ALSO SEXUALLY FREE and PARTY. No, ALL those Years of HIDING WASN"T HEALTHY. It's BETTER to TRY and Live STRESS FREE and Just be like you would if ORDINARY JOE. Why WORRY BOUT STUFF??? Being Judged for DRinking or CONDOM USE...ETC...IS JUST OLD and NOT REALLY REAL. Prince is a GROWN MAN who was HORNY and WANTED TO GET DOWN WITH HIS LADY.....Most GUYS DO THIS SO...WHy CAN'T PRINCE??? SUFFICE to SAy.....I LOVE SEXY.....SMART!!!!! ....

Zelaira said:

how many times do i have to repeat myself...I AM NOT KNOCKING THE FACT THAT HE MIGHT USE THEM....I am just saying I don't see him personally buying them. He is too private for that!!!!!

Geesh!

Yes,but Maybe Someone Else went in the STORE for him. Maybe he STAYEd in the LIMO. Whatever , but TED CASABLANCAS gonna say that if it ISN'T TRUE and RISK a LAWSUIT? I am SURE the FACTS are CHECKED OUT Before SAYING STUFF.

whether this gossip item is factual or not , why on earth do you think Prince wouldn't buy condoms himself? [although, to be fair, this bit of gossip did not specifically say that what he and Mani were allegedly buying *were* condoms, just "items of a more intimate variety" and implying those items to be sexual in nature. damn they could've been buying KY or even something lame like baby oil or candles or something. everybody just started ASSUMING they were buying condoms]

he is a grown, mature man and Mani is a grown, mature woman and they are married. so they might've bought some condoms at RiteAid. so the fuck what? buying condoms might embarrass a 15 year old kid or shock 81 year old Gramma Bertha -- but Prince, despite being a 'private person' and now a bit more conservative than in his past, still seems to be a very sexual person and hasn't ever really shown himself to be one who'd consider it to be any huge deal to buy a package of rubbers. in Minnesota he's been known to go into grocery stores and buy cookies and pop and other shit for himself, why not a package of condoms? do you think a grown (married) man being seen purchasing condoms is somehow scandalous or humiliating or something? do you think Prince should be embarrassed that people might see evidence that he and his wife have sex and use condoms?

imo, Prince IS a private person, i agree with you there, but he'd be way more apt and comfortable being seen publically buying condoms for he and his wife, than he'd be going into the drugstore and purchasing a big ol bottle of Kaopectate or a tube of PrepH or something.

i personally see nothing surprising about Prince being seen buying condoms. whether this bit of gossip is true or not, that's another thing...

REALLY!!! IT's NOT like he was buying SOME WEIRD S and M ARM or Handcuffs and NIPPLE CLAMPS...BIG FUCKING WOW! Would ya SHIT YOURSELF if he bought say a BLOW UP DOLL or Pulsating PUSSY? DON JOHNSON was SEEN Leaving a X-RATEd Store for DILDOS and The ENQUIRER made a BIG STINK. Everyday Joes go to these Stores and are MORE FREAKY or PIGGISH in their SHOPPING....

Zelaira said:

well, that's just it. if all Prince was buying were some condoms from RiteAid, big deal. that's nothing. why should he be worried about being seeing doing that? however i do think he'd send a flunkie in to get the pulsating pussy and nipple clamps.

I regard this story as the same sorta story that had
Prince getting caught in a movie theater getting busy
with his wife a few years ago - these are stories
planted in the press to demonstrate that Prince is hetero.
He is a just like your average guy who buys condoms
& can't keep his hands off the wife.
And makes great music.
So buy his cd - he's not wacko.


I think this a sign that something is coming.
Keep your ear to the ground.

EXACTLY.... Or do MAIL ORDER or SOMETHING. Probably if he was Messed up a little and living in QUEENS the INDIAN DUDES WOULDN'T KNOW who he was. Just for the RECORD I WANNA KNOW WHY WE LAY PEOPLE THINK CELEBRITIES CANNOT SHOP WHERE WE DO OR BUY WHAT WE DO? Are they ALIEN BEINGS? NO, it's all cool REally..Not so Big a DEAL.Prince and MANI...gotta try the FRENCH TICKLERS...

Goons and flunkies, eh? Why y'all gotta rag on Prince's employees like that? (the answer's no before you even ask)

"run to sexworld and get me another gallon of lube...and don't tell nobody."

Ya know I NEVER READ that STATEMENT BY PRINCe BEING DELIBERATELY ME. I'm Weird Cause I am like Not Believing he is as he is. But Imagine yes,if he went to SEXWORLD..They have so much Stuff there and Man Buying that LUBE STUFF In the GIANT PUMP and a GIANT DOUBLE DONG and BUTT PLUG. You WANT CONTROVERSY...MINNEAPOLIS WOULD SHIT BRICKS TENFOLD! I WOULD PROBABLY Have a SEIZURE FROM LAUGHING SO MUCH....I'm Really Sick for Crazy Shit like that.... LOl.....

hmm. i wonder if Prince used to run a tab over at SexWorld?

like every week he'd send over a list of needed supplies of thexthual thtuff for that upcoming week and just tell them "Just put it mah tab!"

also i should've amended my prior post: i think NOW Prince would get someone else to pick up any, more erm...intense sexual items, just because i think he's trying to appear less controversial, sexually. YEARS AGO, i think he'd go get the pulsating pussy and nipple clamps himself.

Yes, Celebs Don't Want ALL THEIR BUSINESS CONSTANTLY OUT THERE. But I Swear Sometimes people make like the Celebs like just Suck up Air as Food or Something..Like the Can't LIVE and Have WILD FUN. Ordinary Joes DO What They WANT With NO ATTENTION At All. Why Can't Photogs just let them be? Why is EVERYTHING an ANALYZATION Or QUESTION???? I Love the Fact that OUR HEROS are BECOMING MORE OPEN and POLITICAL AND REAL. People also have to GET OVER IMAGES of PERFORMERS and just Think PERSON WITH TALENT. Being POLITE and SHOWING RESPECT like you would to anybody. Why Ya gotta Judge and Be all Mean to Them? They are ONLY HUMANS Trying TO LIVE. I Say Leave them Alone TO BREATH!

Wow this really great! Seems like Prince and Mani really are together! That is good to hear.I really like Mani. The more and more I see of her the more and more I like her. Hmmmm when Prince was drinking with his bodygaurds like they said he wasn't with any Carmen Electra looking babe. Maybe he really has changed his ways.

WELL, He Got BORED with All that Stuff I suppose. Wanted Probably A Wife Who Would Just be his EVERYTHING. I Suppose she would TWIST INTO A PRETZEL FOR HIM Wants DEVOTION. If he DIDN"T REALIZE the INTENSE LOVE his FANS FELT TOWARDS HIM as Their MENTOR he Was DISILLUSIONED. He is an INTENSE MAGNETIC FORCE. Being in his PRESENCE is ILLUMINATING. He just Makes ya FEEL HIS ELECTRICITY. Anybody CRITICIZINg his MUSIC is a FOOL. I Myself Only CRITICIZE his MANAGEMENT and Marketing. They Seem to be Making It BETTER NOW. WHY DIDN"T THEY GET HIM and CAPTURE HIS UNIQUENESS? He was SPECial..Is SPECIAl And They KNEW IT WHEN THEY SIGNED HIM. THEN THEY BLAMED HIM FOR WHAT THEY AT FIRST WANTED AND LOVED. Of COURSE PRINCE WAs MAD..... Ya have a GENUIS and Ya SPIT ON THAT and The Man and The IMAGE. Ya Laughed and Called it PSYCHO. What was PRINCE WAS DEEMED GAY. It is TERRIBLE THE BIAS and DISCRIMINATION THIS Man This BLACK Man has Felt..His Height,His Manhood.. All Questioned..Terrible..Just TERRIBLE..So WRONG... SO VERY WRONg...Wasn't THe MUSIC ENOUGH To SATISFY? TO PLEASE? Couldn't you feel Joy and Happiness From His GIFT? Years later.....They Finally GET HIM!.

why are they still dressin' in the same colors...that is so wack to me.....

okay I get it now....
