and how many careers did he MAKE?.

I hope deep in my heart Prince will give anyone who he have hurt an apology.
Everyone that have been human has hurt someone.But it takes a person that truly
believe in God to say I"am Sorry. Like you can't change the past. But you can change the future. And that's when you are with 1 with God. It's not words
it's the action. Thanks

It's a double edged sword isn't it? I mean, having all that fame and notoriety. No matter who you run into, if you spend enough time with them, you make them instantly famous for no other reason than you're somehow attached to them.

Monica Lewinski sucked the President's cock, and voila! Instant fame!

But the unintended consequences of this fame is that she can never walk into a job interview again without the interviewer quickly scanning her dress for cum stains.
She can never let her resume speak for itself. She can never hope to be in a one-to-one meeting with a male supervisor without the implied expectation that he's going to get his cock sucked.

Now whether Bria Valente is sucking Prince's 51 year old penis is another story altogether. Certainly at his age, his shaft when not fully erect may not have developed as many wrinkles as his scrotum, but it surely has become more wrinkled. He can't cover his wrinkly old penis up, like with his face, with layers of Mac makeup--especially if he's expecting someone to run their wet lips up and down Mr. Delicious.



Whatever is going on between Bria and Prince, one thing is for certain: He has changed the course of her career for the rest of her life. In my opinion, due to having labored through listening to her album (and I mean labor in the most painful squeeze-a-baby-out-of-your-ripping-vagina sense) I can safely say that Bria is benefiting from her relationship to Prince. She'll continue to benefit from it for the rest of her life even after he dumps her for turning 18 or whatever.


But there are other artists who may or may not have benefited from their relationship to Prince. Lisa & Wendy , in my opinion could probably be enjoying more financial success as an indie act if they had not been tied to Prince.
Kirsten Scott Thomas who starred in UTCM could have been a bigger actress as well.

Tony M. would be enjoying at least a happy retirement hearing himself referenced by new cats , not to mention being the toast of many Vh-1 honors, if he had pursued his career in the underground clubs of major urban centers across America rather than on stage at arenas around the world grinding his penis against Prince's bum as they simulate very gay anal sex to songs like Daddy Pop.



Do you think artists in general benefit or are held back to being tied to such an iconic powerhouse of an artist such as Prince?

Whether someone works with Prince, or is on a reality show, it's not what the gig can do for you, it's what you do with the gig.

I hope deep in my heart Prince will give anyone who he have hurt an apology.
Everyone that is human has hurt someone. But it takes a person that truly
believe in God to say I'am Sorry. Like you can't change the past. But you can
look forward to the future. And that's when you are at 1 with God. So you action can tell when you are with God.

Under The Cherry Moon didn't ruin Kristin-Scott Thomas' career - she's done very well for herself and was nominated for an Oscar.

Having said that, UTCM is probably the black spot on her resume.

Many actors have those beginning movies that were less than desirable. I think unless it's porn or something, it's not a black mark per se, it's just "oh yeah, I did one of those as well" type things.

the difference is that those movies are usually not well-known. UTCM was such a high-profile turd for her to make her film debut (and in such a high profile role), i wouldn't be surprised if it was something she had to overcome in the industry.

Being serious, I'd suggest Rosie Gaines.

Talent will shine through no matter. Which is why the likes of W&L, Jesse Johnson etc. continue to have a successful career.
