I figured you local folks to Prince might be able to shed some light on this. I know she calls him 'Symbolina' and he in turn supposedly penned Billy Jack Bitch about her, is the name change what started this off?

i've read many articles by her, so like, what's her problem?

turned down for an exclusive maybe? or possibly a shag? she comes across like a jilted lover or something.

Pathetic.

She knows Prince won't kiss her ass.

I e-mailed her once and asked her why she was always ragging on Prince.

The reply: "Somebody has to".

She's got a point - I think she's cool as fuck personally.

"C.J., I just wonder why you're so down on Prince. What qualifications do
you have to say he's a jerk on TV? My name is Pat." Dear Pat: I'm a
gossip columnist and sometimes a jerk, so I recognize the behavior. I
believe Prince could have held a last-minute church wedding in Minneapolis
that almost nobody would have noticed. But he wanted to manipulate the
locals with that request for crowd control; nice to see only a measly 200
curiosity seekers, many of whom were media types. Over and over I'm
hearing that it wouldn't have cost him anything to wave to the crowd. If
they didn't want their clothes or faces on camera, they could have waved
from behind the canopy. That would have been a charming touch. The crowd
was not unruly, and there were lots of cops around. Although it won't
work out this way, I'd be satisfied not to write another word about Prince
until he lands some Marines on the beach, if you get my drift, and the
pregnancy of Mayte is proclaimed. That's reportedly a main objective of
this marriage. With skimpy outfits and near-0 percent body fat, she won't
be able to hide that for nine months


???

Damn, CJ wrote that?? Girl has got some serious issues.

She's paranoid about her email anyway - "I never open attachements, so don't bother"

Stop writing trash and nobody'll send you anything nasty CJ!

She's paranoid because she knows Prince fans don't like her, and she's afraid they're going to send her an attachment that has a worm in it or something. But what you reap is what you sow, I always say.

psychodelicide said:

i'm just curious as to what started this all off, that's all. i don't have anything against her, She comes across as a right saddo.

I'm curious too, since I've never heard the whole story myself, only that she has been writing some stuff about Prince that he didn't like.

I think the song 'Billy Jack Bitch' is cool as 4 CJ I don't really understand why she is so negative...

Who the hell is this C.J. bitch anyway and why hasn't bad karma come to her already?

Some1 must know the full story between CJ & Prince...if so tell us all!!!

My brother lives in Minneaplois and told me that she lives right around the block from him. He said she's very paranoid about people knowing where she lives as well, so I asked him to give me the exact address so all you local fans can picket her building and throw eggs at the window.

Call me naive but what are the lyrics to Billy Jack Bitch?

Isn't it something about 'joy, it's in the dictionary. See 'j' Billy Jack Bitch'?

Are u telling me it's really CJ?

Boy, I must be stupid

angelfishseven said:

lol, i didnt knwo that lyric, its really good actually. i know it starts with "what if i called you silly names, just like the ones that you call me (like symbolina!), and tears ran down your face, so that you couldnt see...billy jack bitch *insert funky riff here*!

hmmm, not sure what "started" this...but...let's look at this from an objective point of view.

CJ does a "gossip/news/scoiety" column for the Mpls Newspaper. Her job is to report on the happenings with local celebrities/ celebrities visiting, etc. Prince is a MPLS celebrity. Prince often does crazy/semi-crazy things. These things are easy to report in her column and get people talking. Are all of them true? Assuredly not. BUT, she's not a "right saddo" or anything, IMO.

If CJ got a new job and moved to Atlanta or L.A. or something (for example) you can bet we'd never hear her mention Prince again.


In the end all, CJ is one of about 3 writers in MN who ever even mention Prince. She is the columnist that makes most people here aware that Prince is still alive. So, in a weird way, Prince should thank her, cos without her, most in MN wouldn't even know he was here.

too true.shes funny.

Yes, Prince should be happy that a gossip columnist writes
crap about him in his hometown paper.

Don't you think Prince would prefer that people not know his wereabouts. Don't you think that is the reason he had done little or no pubilicity or the course of his career?

If you have not figured out that this guy does not crave attention by this time check your brain cells

She sounds like a moron. Did anyone read her column a few years ago when she was hanging outside of Prince's house and he came out a talked to her.

If she reported the exchange truthfully he came off as quite witty and amused by her. He even wanted to know if she was some girl he had dated in the past. It was pretty funny.

Lawd, girl, settle down. I've been into P for plenty long enough to know how he operates. All that I'm saying is that CJ is doing her job. It may not be a job I think is very necessary, but it's her job. Also, most of her writings are tongue-in-cheek.

In the end all, when CJ writes about Prince, people always come to me to talk about it (as I'm the available "Prince Nut"). These conversations invariably turn to me talking about what he's doing musically these days. So, CJ's writings WORK cos they keep people talking about Prince.

For as much as you suggest Prince wants to be left alone and not talked about, he surely still wants people sending him their money. CJ's columns, as stupid as they may be, keep people in MN aware that Prince still exists and every once in a while gives us 'fans" a chance too educate and get a person out buying a CD. And if you don;t think Prince wants that, then YOU need to get your brain cells checked.

First of all I am not upset over this. However,I am never going to defend a gossip columnist. For obvious reason that I am not going to go into.

There is a difference between wanting people to buy your records and having your every move reported by the media.

I am pretty sure no one in America really cares if Prince waved at the crowds that stood outside of his wedding or . that he bulldozes his old home. I hope the citizens of MN have other things to worry about. If they are fans they should try buying the music.

I kind of think it is normal to want your wedding to be private. It is one of the few normal things Prince has done.

Even doing the PR era you did'nt see Prince doing interviews. I don't see this guy knocking himself out to get media attention and sometimes I wonder how pressed he is to sell records since you need media attention to help sell records. No watchout for the sucking sound that you hear. It is your brain cells leaking.

Well, Prince can't always have what he wants, now can he?

Okay, it's not like CJ's reportings are Front Page news in MN or something. She's got a crappy li'l 2 column feature squished half-way through the paper. Most people I know who do read her column do so, roll their eyes, giggle and move on. No need to take it so damn serious and rush to poor Princey's defense.

No need to worry bout that sucking sound you hear. It's just your lips pressed firmly against Princey's ass.

This is the same damn thing as with the camera incident - if you don't like what comes with being a public figure, ya shoulda considered a career in accounting or library science or some shit. If you're gonna gladly take the money and the women and the cars, you gotta pay the price.
