I thought Sheila was actually engaged to him at some point...she only got some back seat action from him?

Basically. I don't believe he had ever proposed to her (at least not in general knowledge). Only to Susanna & the 2 wives.

Sorry, we off off-topic now

I heard that Sheile E's dad confirm they were engaged....

For his part, Prince slammed Madonna — and her growing brood of children — during a 2007 concert in London, sniping, "I got so many hits y'all can't handle me. I got more hits than Madonna's got kids."

So, 4 hits then!

Madonna (in an interview with the BBC 2-3 years ago) referred to Prince as socially inept.

Anyone else remember this?

in 2009 on 106 & park she said she'd like to do a tour with him called "kings and queens"

I didn't know they dated.

A friend of mine just acted in a bit role in a movie being directed by..... Madonna. They actually split off and worked on the concept of his lines for a moment.

She was very receptive to suggestions, and also was very quiet and concentrating.

what is weird about Madonna... of all th famous people. (and i was a casual fan in the like a virgin -like a prayer) I have frequent dreams that she is a long time family friend?

I have had dreams about Prince that we are hanging out but i have a Madonna dream 5 or 6 times a year.

This sounds every bit as serious as his feud with Michael Jackson

Yep and if the press/media and some people on the org care to play the 21 Nights CD's Prince talks about the press/media begging him to allow just One photo picture of him and MJ ...so they could sell it and live of the picture for the rest of their lives....

V. funny... but true a picture like that which i'm sure Prince owns in the vault would sell for millions today...

Oh, okay, cool. Still considered hearsay though , but I doubt I can track down their sources of the info. Wondered if I overlooked it in any literature...

What a bunch of crap. They were never feuding as real feuds go. Jeez. The worst Madonna ever felt about Prince was his aloofness and the worst he ever felt about her was her lack of raw talent; both impressions soon dismissed.

Feud! The fuck outta here!

Now rapper 50 Cent and rapper BlackChild? That's a feud!!!!

Interesting. I have dreams fairly frequently in which Madonna is a close friend. Usually that's not the subject of the dream as such, but rather just an aspect of it (they're all different), and always seems completely normal within the context of the dream.

Similarly I'm not a big fan - I have a couple of her albums (although the dreams predate me buying the albums - and were possibly even the catalyst for me getting them) and occasionally I listen to her songs if they come up on shuffle, that's about it.

I have frequent dreams about Prince, MJ and others, but there's nothing particularly weird about that, given that they are my fav celebs

that is how mine are. She'll just show up and I will say "hi" and she will bake cookies.

the real question is how can 2 of the biggest music stars in the world come together and make the worst song of both their careers with Love Song

Does anyone have the Open Letter To Madonna? Where Prince asked her to help him get his masters back by using her influence at WB?

THAT was one of Prince's cringe-worthy antics that you don't hear much about anymore.

Awww, so cute! Knowing that Prince isn't a touchy-feely person, this pic is too sweet

Does he look like she could squeeze his head like a grape with those big mitts?

Anyway, I can't believe msnbc would put such a flimsy celebrity piece online, but then again, they've printed worse. I'm sure if you asked him about a feud he'd give some existential bs answer that says, "No, no feud, I see her once every 5 years for 3 minutes at some function I'm forced to attend. I think about her even less frequently."

I would believe her when in 1994 she said that Prince wouldnt eat at a dinner date. Because all of us know that in 1994 Prince was SKIN AND BONES..

1994 Come era? He wasn't skin and bones for all of that time. HE probably just didn't want to eat in front of her. Or maybe he wasn't hungry. Madonna is just a bitch! I can't stand her!!

Or maybe like Kim Bassinger said, he was pretty boring.

Prince was thinning out at that time, lot's a stress around that time, so it's possible. Doesn't make her a bitch because of it. I don't like to go out to eat with someone who doesn't want to eat either. I will find someone who wants to eat.

The Artist Asks Madonna For Help In Label Dispute

The Artist, who in his previous incarnation as Prince recorded the hit "1999," which was undoubtedly played at many a New Year's Eve party recently, has taken to the web to make a rather unusual plea.

Last week on his official Love 4 One Another website (www.love4oneanother)*, the Artist posted an open letter to Madonna in which he asked for her assistance in dealing with his former label, Warner Bros. The Artist is hoping to get the label to return the ownership of all the master recordings he made for Warner Bros., dating back to his 1978 debut, "For You," and has requested that Madonna become involved in the dispute.

In the message Prince goes on to describe, in rather florid language, a dream he had in which he asks Madonna for her at this year's Grammy ceremonies. Ten years ago, Madonna and Prince collaborated on "Love Song," a track that was included on her "Like a Prayer" album.

The ownership rights to Prince's back catalog has become issue in the last few months, as both Warner Bros. and the Artist have released new versions of his "1999" single, which was originally issued in 1982.

Madonna hasn't responded to Prince's request yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Madonna: artist 2 artist, eye am sure u understand the connection eye feel
2 my music. U more than any1 at Time Warner knows the patience and care
with which we give birth 2 creation... and u maybe moreso than any1 knows
how much a new artist longs 2 find a place amongst "the chosen few" 2
flaunt those creations (and at the same time put food on one's table).
Music lawyers, managers and execs make deals best suited 4 their futures
as well as urs in most cases... OWNERSHIP OF MASTER RECORDINGS IS ALMOST
NEVER AN ISSUE! (let's remember, it was 1978!)

Eye dreamt of u and eye at the Grammy Awards and felt a need 2 write this
letter 2 u. In my dream, eye approached u and asked u if u remembered me,
and u said "sure"... u were on ur way up 2 receive 1 of numerous awards u
will no doubt receive that night, and eye asked u 2 help me with my fight
2 retain ownership of my legacy and u said, "eye don't own ur masters,
Time Warner does... if it was my company, u could have them."

"But eye say 2 u, dear sister, it IS ur company as long as u remain in
their graces... 4 all Artists, Madonna, make a stand 4 what is RIGHT...
surely they will listen 2 u!" In the dream u seemed 2 feel me and yet u
were a bit non-committal... so as u approached the podium, eye followed u,
and as we stood side by side, eye said, "b glad this a commercial break!"
and eye walked offstage and looked 4 Wyclef. Interpretations aside, artist
2 artist, "U Can Help Us... and eye know u will becuz u REMEMBER ME."

the rantings of a mad man. honestly, you couldn't make that shit up.

Martin Luther King had a dream. Prince had a scheme.

What's interesting is that, eventually, Madonna did end up jumping ship from WB.
