Right before Grafitti Bridge came on she said that Prince's first choice for the part of the poet??? or whatever was his girlfriend Kim Basinger....?????

Was he dating Kim Basinger back then???? I guess I am high if I don't know this.

Then she said that Madonna was a second choice and she turned it down.

Can anyone fill me in

Thanks in advance!

It's all true.Prince started seeing Kim Bassinger while they both worked on the 1989 Batman project.Her voice is featured in both the Scandelous Sex Suite and Peach.

Madonna called one of the GB scripts "a piece of shit".I think her character was to have been named Ruthie Washington.

He dated Kim Basinger during the Batman production. He made Scandalous Sex Suite with her - she's on the songs with him.

Yep it's true. I've heard fun stories of Prince and Miss Basinger going out around Mpls when they were a couple. One guy who worked in a bar around that time remembers them coming in and Prince had to order whichever drink matched his suit. It was a big deal because she was a pretty big star around that time..seeing her in such a small city was exciting for some people.I remember my father was like in love with her too!

Anyone have any pictures of them together????

There was two of Kim and P sitting in a booth at a restruant and P looks pissed because a reporter was taking their picture....the second photo is of them with their hands in front of their face.

Got me wondering how Madonna would have scripted GB. What do you think she would have wanted for the story? Changes, total rewrites, additions, deletions.

Prince reportedly worked on an album called "Hollywood Affair" with Kim Basinger (which has been "released" by Sabotage). Listened to it once and it was crap!

Oooh...look, I think she has her hand on his leg...

Looks like it.

Wow, Madonna recognizing a crap script and not wanting to be a part of it. That is truly saying a lot about Graffiti Bridge.

There they are...I knew these were out there...Now I don't have to dig them up.

I also have on Tape Prince and Kim leaving Bunkers (a club here in MPLS) in a Blue Mercedes (the same color of his house at the time). You couldn't see Prince but the reported asked him as he was closing the car door "Is it true you and Kim are making a album together?" You then can hear P say "NOPE," then a minute later he backed into the lady almost hitting her. The reporter said "Would that be an honor getting ran over by Prince?" This was all on A Current Affair with Maury P.. The reason for the story was how a cape crusader came in and saved Prince and his career. They said Paisley was losing $1000's by the weak and his last tour (LoveSexy) was a money pit.
