His best have passed him...begging with mayte...I think he's shacked up with tamar....he did say sex with chocolate at the orpheum...

I really think marriage is obsolete. Women have too much power in a court of law and women today have their own careers. It's not like the old days. Why would someone with money marry someone without it, anyway? Warren Beatty once told Woody Allen that "being a star is like being in a whorehouse with a credit card." I don't understand why these celebs still get married. Just don't get it.

So you think common-law (2 unmarried people living together as if they are married but are not) - would be ideal?

Manuela has kissed her Prince goodbye in divorce court
C.J., Star Tribune
Last update: July 26, 2006 – 11:00 PM

I sensed something amiss between Prince and Manuela when she became my pen pal in early May.
This was the first time that one of Prince's women, so to speak, had made nice with the columnist who irritated the rocker into writing a song called "Billy Jack Bitch." (You can stop denying it's about me, Prince; your first wife, Mayte, spilled the beans in a magazine interview with D.C. celebrity journalist Jawn Murray.)

A tip was received Tuesday, and on Wednesday a Hennepin County court document confirming that Manuela had filed for divorce on May 24 was located.

Her rocker husband has an impeccable eye for a sweet, pretty, young bride but apparently no clue how to keep one. Or does he?

PR firm didn't know

Visions of gigantic Kobe-size diamond rings popped into my head when someone at a NYC PR firm for Manuela's company, Gamillah Inc., told me she didn't know about any divorce.

"As far as we know, it's not true," said Jessica Pollack of Alison Brod Public Relations late Wednesday. I had sent Pollack an e-mail seeking contact with Manuela, and then called for an official explanation of what Gamillah does. "I got your e-mail," Pollack said. "She's [Manuela] leaving for vacation for the next month. A nice long vacation out of the country, actually."

That's convenient

Pollack had no explanation for why court documents state that Manuela has hired divorce attorney Edward Winer. One thing's for sure -- with Winer billing the hours, Manuela will ride off with much, much more than a "Little Red Corvette." Court records ID Prince's lawyer as Alan Eidsness.

While both lawyers returned my calls, they didn't say anything worth repeating. What's the point of asking for the divorce file to be sealed if you're gonna yak about it?

With the file sealed, we won't be able to confirm little things like when Manuela and Prince married.

First, there was Mayte

Prince dumped his first wife, Mayte, a dancer, with some extremely bogus whatever verbiage about not needing a contract as the framework for their relationship.

Prince and Mayte married on Valentine's Day 1996 at Park Avenue United Methodist Church. Their union produced a baby boy, who sadly died from Pfeiffer syndrome type 2, a rare skull deformity resulting from a genetic mutation. In 1998 Prince announced that he and Mayte would divorce; then in 1999 Prince confused the issue by saying they hadn't divorced.

The Mirror reported in January 2002 "news on the mystery woman superstar Prince married in a hush-hush ceremony in Hawaii. The website for the purple pop star claims that Prince's second wife hails from Canada. According to the site, Manuela, who worked for Prince's famous Paisley Park complex, married the star on New Year's Eve in a Jehovah's Witness ceremony."

Considering Symbolina's alleged aversion to contracts, there was great suspicion about what kind of marriage he had entered into with Manuela. For a time I called Manuela his "supposed wife" and "Mrs."

In 2003 I reported a sighting of Manuela waiting in a truck, while Prince met his Jehovah's Witness proselytizing obligations by door-knocking in Eden Prairie during -- gasp! -- a Vikings game.

There have been rumblings about problems in this marriage since last year, even though they didn't seem to spend much time here. Just as word was out that they really were not getting along, in January the couple arrived hand-in-hand at Bellanotte for a romantic dinner in a private dining area.

Pen pals

Manuela first corresponded via FedEx with a thank-you note after a May 4 column item about her volunteer work with Free Arts Minnesota. The nonprofit charity's mission is to expose abused kids to the healing power of creative expression.

So I replied with a note asking about the "In a Perfect World" stationery on which she had written.

Another FedEx packet followed with information about the charity she founded. It stated that "In a Perfect World," which Pollack said is under the Gamillah umbrella, is a foundation "dedicated to developing compassionate, socially responsible leadership in children and youth that will address community needs and issues." The accompanying bio noted: "Manuela currently divides her time between Minneapolis and Toronto. She is married to Prince Roger Nelson."

She included another note, which ended "Your unlikely pen-pal, Manuela."

In a June e-mail Pollack, the PR woman, stressed: "As you already know, Manuela is a separate entity from her husband, Prince, and is doing some amazing work with her company Gamillah, Inc."

Stay tuned to find out just how separate their personal lives are. From the outside, marriage to Symbolina looks like it could be really hard work.

I'm sure it MUST have been said before, but CJ comes off like a total STALKER type... She is way too bias to be writing for a newspaper... Creepy.

My only wish and concern is that Prince is Truly Happy and Healthy. Health is wealth...

Prince

Remember back in 2004 when he was singing lines like "Are u the main wife of the pharoah or are u just a concubine?" and "Are these twins in my bed, or am I just going blind?" I remember thinking that if I was Mani, I wouldn't be too happy about my man expressing such thoughts! However, I really did hope that Prince and Mani would stay together. She seemed to be a very bright, kind and down to earth person, who I thought kept Prince more grounded and focused, and more in touch with the real world, including more contact with his "fams" than ever before. I am sad to hear that it hasn't worked out! I wish them both peace and privacy. I also look forward to hearing whatever it is Prince is working on as a follow-up to "3121". Prince speaks to us best through his music.

All 7 and we watch them fall, they stand in the way of love .....

Really sad, when is he going to sette down . I guess been busy with his music and everything, does not have time for her. Ughhh, how could this happen .

forget divorcing mani ....you need to divorce whoevea did that hair!

HeyJude said:

I don't think so. I think she's funny. Seems she has a total disregard for Prince's self-imposed majesty, which clearly has gotten under the skin of many fans over the years, since you see the same people bitching about her whenever she's mentioned in a thread. Not to mention Prince wrote a song about her, so she must've got under his skin.

Go CJ!

Like somebody said in the last thread, we all chat about this crap all the time for free, she gets paid for it.

LeGrindLady said:

on my birthday?? this date reminds me of a verse in Genesis- 26.7

Maybe this means that Mayte will be back.

Christopher said:

For real.

And my message to Mani is that if she feels particularly lonely at any time, she can always get in touch with me for some extremely fulfilling sex.

CuntOMatic said:

baby got back.

Ah, that's a shame. Keep ya head up, Prince.

NouveauDance said:

Thank you for understanding what I wrote.
the I replied to thought it was about something else -> FYI I wasn't laffin at the fact that Prince is getting divorced - that is sad for both of them. I was laffin at him/her tellin CJ to get a life - whose job it is to report stuff so ppl here can blather about it

yeah the Knights Purplar all get miffed by CJ but she is rarely wrong and it's her job to report on local celebs.
Too bad for Prince he is about the only one in MiniNoPlace so he gets the most attention.
Folx here should all be happy there's someone like CJ who actually gets an inside line or they would NEVER know WTF was going on with their favorite American Idol.

Thank god, CJ isn't like all the deer in the headlights here - she ain't blinded by Hisself's Majesty & Glory

When she wasnt at BET awards, I knew they were done... I think a good woman for Prince would be someone who is creatively artistic - musically- like himself. Being an artist myself, my husband and I have some rough moments because he doesnt understand that I need to go sit at the Piano and play a few chords of the song that is in my head. Can you imagine how it is for Prince?

If the information regarding how she "appeared" at Paisley Park for a job, and how she kind of manipulated the relationship from the start is true, then it's ending the way that is started... I give her props, she got him to fall in love with her, but we know that sometimes LOVE is not enough to sustain a marriage....

I wish them both well....
