CJ is a gossip columnist, y'all. Her job isn't to be the next Walter Cronkite.

Prince is an easy target -- he takes his image super-seriously and is thin-skinned. He's like a front-row victim at a comedy show who tries to heckle the comic...

So, she returns to him because he's a MPLS superstar who does nutty things on the regular.

I don't see it as her having an axe to grind. I see Prince as having supplied her with tons of material during his career.

And, she still calls him "Symbolina" because it's immediately funny to most people, maybe not to his diehard fans. But it's funny, nonetheless.


Well CJ ought to know that what goes around comes around, she'll get it back. I don't think making a joke out of someone's life is comedy and calling them all kinds of names whether they get paid for it or not. They both need to grow up, Next thing you know we'll say "heeey, it's oookkkkkayyy!" for anyone in her position to start using racial/hate remarks towards others because "oh it's alright, they get paid to do it, it's their job!". It's funny how we allow certain things to be acceptable in our society, yet at the same time,teach our kids not to do the very same.

Just an FYI... This may have already been answered- but the Star Tribune in Minneapolis is 'the' paper of the city.. and consquentially of most of Minnesota. It's not a tabloid or anything like that.

though that CJ.. she has had it out for Prince for MANY, MANY years.. it's like a well-known hometown rivalry.. started because she kept jockin him too much and he cut her down and out as far as interviews and 'inside scoops'.. (hey she's not special.. how often DOES he give 'inside scoops'??)

Anyway- it made her DAY to report on it- and yes- it's confirmed as truth- KMSP news in Minnesota talked to court staff..

That's all the 'under' news I know..

Elusive1 - in Minneapolis, MN (anything Prince is BIG news here!)

Well everybody there you go. I said it over and over until it was CONFIRMED they were still married. Now it has finally been CONFIRMED they are over. I wondered just like the rest of you, but still wouldn't say anything until proven otherwise. Maybe Prince has come to the conclusion that marriage isn't for him and for that comment in the last column where CJ says "Prince kicked Mayte to the curb" how do she or anybody know it wasn't the other way around? It sure sounds like in this case that Mani kicked Prince to the curb.

I wish both of them the best.

I believe. Mani seemed really nice, but I think Prince is ever changing, band members, looks etc... I guess long term settling down is not 4 him,which I can't blame him 4, most girlfriends haven't really lasted more than a few yrs. the traditional wife and kids lifestyle just isn't 4 everybody, and by the way y do some people want him back with Mayte, Vanity etc... would any of u want 2 get back with ur ex's, as far as him making anymore heartbreak music from this, 3121 probably at least some of it was recorded post breakup, so I dont think his next album will be focused on that, Love and Fury seem 2 touch on it but I dont think he'll dwell on it considering they've probably been over 4 over a year now and he seems 2 be doing just fine at his 3121 parties, it's not like Rave with Mayte, as far as Tamar goes I think their relationship is more friends than anything, now Liza Lena on the other hand (Lolita, Te Amo Corazon) about her, maybe? I'm sure he'll be just fine regardless.
[Edited 7/26/06 22:18pm]


I agree with everything except the part about Tamar. Tamar is just a protege that he was concentrating on to keep his mind of his failed marriage. If anything is going on it's with them twins not Tamar. I repeat, Tamar is not Prince's type. You said he didn't even know what to do with the girl in the "Black Sweat" video. He wouldn't even dance with her, but he danced a little bit with the twins on the AI finale. Get real.

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.


A good woman for Prince would be one who puts up with his crap. Has nothing to do with being creative. We all know that Prince is too dominant, it would kill a creative person. Perhaps that's why none of his past relations have been with such a person.

Trust me, this had nothing to do with her not understanding his music genius and work ethic. This is the guy who dared Takumi's woman to a game of strip pool and keeps his booze at Takumi's. There's so much I could tell you, but you will probably choose to believe Prince is just misunderstood.

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....


Seems Prince falls in love rather easily if you look at all the women he has had relations with and the things he has done for them.


You know something, believe it or not I think Prince actually let Mani control him a little bit. I was shocked when he was willing to locate to Toronto (her hometown) and leave Minneapolis, a place he said he'd never leave. Plus like some orgers pointed out the song "Love" sounds like it was about Mani as well as "Fury". Maybe Mani wasn't as submissive as we think.

From NY Post, Page 6:

'Royal' divorce: Music superstar Prince is now the artist formerly married to Testolini Nelson. The "Purple Rain" rocker has divorced her after a five year-marriage, his lawyer, Alan Eidsness, tells People magazine. Nelson, 29, went by the name Manuela Testolini before taking Prince's seldom used last name. The Canadian bombshell had worked for Prince's charitable foundation. They were married in a Jehovah's Witness ceremony in Hawai'i in 2001. It's the second split-up for Prince, who was married to backup singer and dancer Mayte Garcia from 1996 through 1998. That marriage was annulled.


mad

Okay, firstly, isn't she divorcing him? (Not that it matters that much--it's still the same result--but it's so annoying when newspapers don't even check the basic facts.)

Secondly, "Canadian bombshell" to describe Mani? confuse I think she is pretty, but bombshell? When I think bombshell, I think of women who are much more voluptuous and also famous in their own right for their looks. While Mani is pretty, the reason she is 'famous' (and I use that word loosely here) is because of her association with Prince--not her looks.

sigh


PS. I am already so sick of everyone I know who knows I'm a Prince fan asking me about this. (Yes, I think it's sad, but I don't know any 'secret' details so what am I supposed to tell you?) I was really hoping this news would be overshadowed by Lance Bass coming out of the closet or the Brangelina/Shiloh wax portraits at Madame Toussaud's smile

Lilith

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?


***** Its the same 4 me and my husband. Im an artist and he's a practice (the opposite of an artist). It was difficult 4 us bcuz he had serious difficults 2 understand me and my head always between clouds. After months of desperation, hubby got the habit that I wake up in the nite and I need 2 play just few notes or few chords with piano or guitar....Now he knows that after I've played and practice all day Im tired and I NEED SILENCE 2 make rest my mind and he understands why Im nervous the days b4 a concert....My husband was good doing his better 2 understand me but there r ppl who dont wanna understand. If Mani was that kind...POOR PRINCE....

the nuts 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 lol

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. wink
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. boxed

Thank god, CJ isn't like all the deer in the headlights here - she ain't blinded by Hisself's Majesty & Glory lol
[Edited 7/27/06 3:49am]




No one's questioning her reporting skillz dude, but she is "Billy Jack Bitch", still referring 2 him as "SYMBOLINA" - it mighta been funny 10 years ago, but it's telling some1 the same joke over and over, she's sooo lame...
lol



Exactly. If she wants to report what ever other paper and gossip columnist is reporting fine no one is faulting her for that. It's more how she words it that makes her an ass. It's almost like you can hear how glad she is to report anything that isn't postitive for P. And even when she does report on something postitve she has to add to snide jive ass comment that's irrelevant to the story.

I know I'm making it seem directed @ you by responding TO you but it was actually within the flow of the conversation @ hand...

Then don't attribute what others said to what I said. I stated what I thought without reading the pages of comments.

Your comment was directed at me ("in response to your last comment..."), so I responded with that in mind. How else should I have interpreted what you said?

As far as the "N" word...lol.

He's not stupid, he knew everybody would assume something was going on between her or the twins.

None of us knows what the man is doing behind closed doors. After seeing him perform with the Twinz a few times, don't look like a thing going on there at all, only time they were near him was when he did a dance number that's it, that's what they get paid for. I mean come on, the Twinz, that's just laughable, seem like everybody's scared that he's got a close relationship with a darker sister, to tell you the truth, it ain't none of our damn business if he does, now is it? Nobody knows why that marriage didn't last, it just wasn't meant to be that's all, simple as that.

Prince's Second Wife Seeks Divorce




MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Prince's second wife, Manuela Testolini Nelson, has filed for divorce from the pop superstar, his attorney has confirmed.

Patrick Cousins, Prince's general counsel, said Wednesday the case was pending. He had no further comment.

An attorney for Nelson did not return a telephone call from The Associated Press.

The Star Tribune reported on its Web editions Wednesday that the case was filed May 24. A court administrator told the AP the case was sealed on July 11.

Prince, 48, has rarely spoken publicly about his marriage to Nelson. He married dancer Mayte Garcia in 1996; that union ended in 1998.

The Minneapolis-based singer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. He recently closed his NPG Music Club Web site, surprising many fans.
