Prince’s new song features lyrics about the mother of a girl named Valentina, and some are speculating if he’s talking about newlywed Salma Hayek. The lyrics in question are:

“Hey Valentina, tell your mama she should give me a call/ When she get tired of runnin’ after you down the hall/And she’s all worn out from those late-night feedings/and she’s ready for another rock and roll meeting”

What do you think, a coincidence or is Prince no so subtly pining for Salma?

This is awfully ironic to me, because for YEARS I thought Prince was gay himself!  I mean look at that picture!  C’mon now!

Religious rocker Prince is knocking on the doors of U.S. politicians, preaching about his faith as a Jehovah’s Witness.

The Sexy M.F. singer became a Jehovah’s Witness in 2001 and is using the faith to fight what he considers the extreme ideals held by America’s duelling political parties.

He tells the New Yorker magazine, “Here’s how it is: you’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this (the Bible). But there’s the problem of interpretation, and you’ve got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn’t.

“And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got blue, you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, ‘You can do whatever you want’. Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right.”

When asked about his perspective on social issues including gay marriage and abortion, the singer reportedly tapped a copy of the Bible, adding, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough’.”

Prince will be paid $4 million to perform at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, according to U.S. reports.

The singer will headline Saturday night at the three-day music event in California, which begins on April 25th.

But he was only added to the festival line-up in a bid to increase ticket sales, according to other reports.

A source says, “Prince was a late addition to the line-up. The promoters added him to try and sell more tickets and make up for a less than stellar, in comparison to years past, roster of performers. The exact amount Prince is getting paid for his Coachella performance is $4.8 million.”

Prince and wife Manuela Testolini Nelson are divorcing, PEOPLE has learned.

Prince, who is working on a follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2006 album 3121, was previously married to backup singer and dancer Mayte Garcia from 1996 through 1998, when their union was annulled.

Reps for Testolini Nelson had no comment; Prince could not be reached.
