I personally find this one pretty funny. But damn! She has to dig back to find something to say these days.

C.J.: The phone rang, and she said no

Leeann Tweeden's too secure, not to mention edgy, for Prince.

He didn't realize that about eight years ago when he reportedly was blinded by a sexy magazine spread of the fitness-show star and model for Frederick's of Hollywood. That brush with Symbolina came rushing back to Tweeden, now a contributor to "The Best Damn Sport Show, Period," when she was in the metro this week to shoot a FOX Sports piece about Wild players. "If you look at his [dating] history, I'm right up his alley," she said. "You know what I'm saying; the Latin-exotic-whatever. I was very young. I get this phone call one day from a photographer who had photographed me. His pictures had ended up in a magazine; I think it was FHM [in England]. I was doing 'Fitness Beach' on ESPN." Apparently Prince had seen the photos.

"He [the photog] was like, 'Oh my gosh, we just got a call from Prince's people. Prince would like to meet you, fly you to London,' " she said.

Tweeden ended up on the phone with one of Prince's bodyguards.

"The Boss is what he called him because this is during Symbol times. 'The Boss would like to fly you to London for the week while he's here,' " she said. "I'm like, 'What?' I'm appalled at this, actually. I'm a fan but no thank you. I might have been young, but I wasn't born yesterday and I wasn't stupid. And believe me, I was not attracted to that 4-foot-nothing Prince, who wore boots higher than mine."

When it was apparent that this was not a professional, work-generating call, Tweeden told the bodyguard, "Look. I'm not interested. If he wants to meet me, well, then when he comes to L.A., my agent and I will meet with him."

Calls kept coming, including one that crossed the line.

"A week later I get this phone call at home -- on my home phone," she emphasized.

How did Prince's people get that number?

"Don't ask me. Why don't you ask Symbolina?" (I attempted to do that with a note left at Paisley Park on Tuesday. No reply.)

"So I get this call from a young girl at Paisley Records. She's just the messenger. The first thing out of my mouth was [unprintable, followed by] 'How dare you call me on my home phone!' She said, 'I'm just relaying a message.' "

The message: Prince was going to be at his L.A. club. He was inviting Tweeden and as many friends as she desired to be his guests. Tweeden said she was patient but firm with the messenger. "I said, 'I suggest you never call me again, and you know what I mean.' She was a girl. She knew why she was calling."

Tweeden prefers guys who make their own phone calls, such as World Series MVP Josh Beckett, a Florida Marlins pitcher. In her line of work, athletes are off-limits in her personal life, so "I don't interview him anymore." Asked whether Beckett was responsible for the blinding bling-bling on her ear lobes, Tweeden quipped,"Sweetheart, these are $12.99 at the mall. Aren't they beautiful?" Big, too.

In addition to making his own phone calls, Beckett must also have character, a trait Tweeden values.

yeah, i read that on the online edition of the strib this morning...she definitely backtrackin on rumors/hearsay/testimonials/whatever's clever, but it don't really matter. the local media is lovin the shit outta p right about now.

absolutely!!

this part cracked me UP!!!!! i had this mental image of CJ sneaking out to the park and taping a handwritten note to the locked gates of the park, dredging up an issue regarding something prince did EIGHT YEARS AGO and demanding an explanation.

dang she should be doing stand up comedy. people might take her more seriously then .. ..

she'd be like the next dave chappelle.

I thought it was a very entertaining read.

XxAxX said:

Me too, and then Prince's face, in a silly disguise, pops out of a hidden door and demands to know...

Seriously though, dishing an eight year old non-story like this? Bitch, please.

It sounds like this Tweeden bird has some issues of her own with Prince. I don't think that we got all of the story up in here.

She looks like Jennifer Lopez with bigger boobs and smaller butt. She really does need to get over herself because once you chisel off all the make-up she ain't all that. I'm sure Prince has been turned down by better looking women than her.

Wasnt P married to Mayte about then?

Damn, the well must be gettin' dry for poor CJ. Maybe Billy Jack Bitch betta move to Canada around Prince's new digs and write for the local papers there.

CJ's creative well has been dry for a long time now. (betcha she lurks here all the time)


But, this story was still funny!!!

CJ, your stories are so

yeah, this is just about something new to say. prince is too normal for her now.

my only real objection would be the suggestion towards the end that Prince does not have character, as opposed to whats-her-face's man. kind of a cheap insult.

Let's put it this way... If Prince left the toilet seat up at some social function, CJ would have an article about it.

Get over it girl!

maybe she can move to Indy and work at Nuvo lol...

Tacky for CJ. Tacky for this Tweeden person.

i love it! CJ has singlehandedly united the orger's on 1 issue for 10 whole minutes!





ok, now get back to the back-biting and name-calling. Daylight's a burnin'!!!!
