Prince Accused of Royally Screwing Book People

PrinceThe artist known as Prince will also be known as defendant -- accused of some seriously cutthroat business tactics in a book deal gone sour.

According to a lawsuit filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, a literary agency claims Prince chose them as his "exclusive agent with respect to the negotiations of a publishing deal" for a book called "21 Nights" and a special limited edition version.

In the documents, the agency claims in the final stages of the deal, Prince stopped calling them back -- and then went behind their back to finish the negotiations -- thus screwing the company out of it's 15% commission.

The agency is now suing for it's 15% -- about $200,000. Practically chump change for the Purple One.

Navarro: Hung Up on Safe Sex

Dave Navarro is apparently having "big" fun since his split from Carmen Electra; he was caught, er, snatching up a pack of Trojan Magnum condoms on Saturday.


The "Baywatch" babe's estranged rocker husband made a late-night stop at a Los Angeles gas station to pick up a plus-sized pack. Fill 'er up!

Whether they're just for show or actually fit, we're glad Davey's keeping it safe.

"Rock Star" Wants More Chicks

"Rock Star: Supernova" hasn't even finished it's run yet but CBS is already gearing up for next year's season.

A source tells TMZ, despite having less than rock star ratings, CBS has renewed the show for a third season.

And while no band has been attached to the show in the vain of INXS and Supernova yet, we have learned that next year the contestants will consist entirely of women. Somewhere Tommy Lee is smiling.

While this doesn't bid well for all the wannabe Bonos out there, all you Courtney Loves-in-waiting should start readying your ripped fishnets now.

TMZ contacted a rep for CBS but have yet to hear back.

"Rock Star: Supernova" crowns their new winner on September 13.

Lenny's Rock Star Life

You know you've hit rock star status when you're traveling around the world on a mega-yacht with half-naked beauties frolicking around you. And no, we're not talking about Diddy.

That's exactly what Lenny Kravitz did this weekend. During a trip off the coast of Italy, Kravitz laid low as a passing helicopter flew over the yacht and caught the ladies' attention, causing them jump up (exposing the goods), wave like crazy and smile to the passersby.

Whether Kravitz is rocking out on stage, wearing something unique or gallivanting around the planet, it's obvious that the man is a pure rock star, living the life some men only dream of.

Van Halen Headed to Next Season of 'Rock Star'?

Will Van Halen be the next band to find a new lead singer on 'Rock Star: The Series'? The band's spokesperson "vehemently" denies it.


Earlier, Larry Solters, a high-powered Hollywood publicist who reps Van Halen, told TMZ, "I'm not denying it. I'm not going to answer any questions about it." Today, Solters contacted TMZ and said in no way was he confirming the rumor that Van Halen was headed for 'Rock Star.'

Last year, the band INXS used 'Rock Star' to find a new lead singer. J.D. Fortune won the competition, and the band is now making a comeback with a hit new album and a sold-out tour.

As for Van Halen, the group has had three lead singers since it hit the scene back in 1978: David Lee Roth, who left the band in 1985, Sammy Hagar, who split in 1996, and Gary Cherone, who recorded just one album and toured with the band in 1998.

The next season of 'Rock Star,' produced by Mark Burnett for CBS, is scheduled to air during the summer. Neither Burnett nor CBS would comment on the Van Halen buzz.
