There was even a small article and photo (of Prince) in the London Metro this morning on the mansion.

Great press for the new album!

Probably almost strategic timing, you know for 70k, and living in your house Prince is going to do some crazy shit to crib, you just have to look at the interior of Paisley Park, Purple and Brass everything, symbols, bizarre glass containers and shit, gold records and over size cushions with harem sized dressings, big ass couches and shit, spa pools full of purple flower petals, Purple gauze screens and all the other signs of nouveau riche, whats sad is u know his decor is going to date quickly.
Probably Prince and him made a deal, yo let me wreck your house, I pay u heaps to do and fix it all up, you complain when I release my next album and well both get paid!!

If only everyone who decorated tackily could be taken to court for it...

Co-Sign

You would think, w/ that kind of monthly payment, that there was a clause (or whatever) in there that Princey could make alterations? Maybe? I dunno

This reminds me of when they sued him for not paying for those damn walking sticks

I'm just shocked that a mediocre NBA player like Carlos Boozer have his own multi media company. I guess that's smart though, building for the future and not blowing it all on back child support like some NBA guys.

If you notice the house is rented by Prince/MPG Music. It's a business venture where he gets write-offs.

why the number 3121? well, numerologically speaking, 3+1+2+1 = 7, which is Prince's Chaldean Numerological number, him being born on the 7th of June and everything.

Also, if u check the book 'The Secret Language of Birthdays', June the 7th is apparently the day of 'the Entertainer'.

hmmmmm.

I don't understand the problem! Prince has great taste and style, It's not like the colors of the Utah Jazz aren't simiular . Put a blue stripe in and call it a day. It's not like he hasn't forked over a mint already!

The renting is probably a smart move.
The $70,000 per month AND the legal fees are a business expense.
Which should bring down the tax bill for his tour triumph a coupla years back.

That said I'm not a US tax expert so any orger thinking of renting a home in the Hollywood hills as a business expense should take independent advice first.

It's a clever way of rewriting history and leaving what the media feel to be his swansong behind in the dust of a new vehicle. Erm...an ting

On the surface I'd agree but owning in long run far outweighs any "tax" advantages one might have.

oh help please help!

I wish Prince the best of luck. His landlord has no taste. Anyways, I like Prince's taste of redecorating in hues of purple and yellow. Yes, purple and yellow go together really nice.

i thought prince's place looked heck-a-slamming, no really gnarly, seriously, i thought it looked stunning (is that a word we use in 2006??), greetings markus

God created the earth, the moon and the stars in 7 days (according to reports in this weeks National Inquirer) but the Dutch took much longer to create The Netherlands from raw materials sea and sand. This is a long version of a much more snappy quote delivered to me by a Dutchman. At the time, I was completely smashed having unwisely sampled some of Amsterdam's local fare but the following day I put my copy of The Old Testament (buy it now at Amazo) in a fish tank as a tribute to the Dutch. Erm...just thought you should know.

What was the question again?

HEY, I THINK WHEN YOU PAY 70,000 A MONTH YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO JUST WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AS LONG AS THE WALL IS STILL STANDING WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE I THINK IT WAS RUDE AND IGNORANT TO DO THIS RIGHT BEFORE THE 3121 CD CAME OUT BUT THAT'S HOW PEOPLE ARE PRINCE HAS HAVING A REAL GOOD TIME SINCE MUSICOLOGY AND NOW THEY WANT TO START THE NEGATIVE STUFF. I SEE WHY PRINCE HAS HIS OWN SET OF FRIENDS. THANKS J'NINE -MS FOUNTAINE.
