Prince Pines for Salma Hayek on New Song

Call Prince an international man of mystery if you'd like, but on his new song 'Valentina,' he's absolutely clear on who he's singing about -- actress Salma Hayek.

According to a WENN report, the track is sung to and named after Hayek's 18-month old daughter, whom she had with her husband, French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault. Depending on your interpretation, the words to 'Valentina' are either a tribute to Hayek's beauty or, well, an overt declaration of his desire for her. The Purple One sings, "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." He then goes on to tell the child how hot her mom is, talks about her curves and how everyone wants her. If that's not a MILF, then we don't know one.

The attraction isn't just something Prince developed from watching 'Frida' or 'Desperado'; Hayek directed the video for Prince's 'Te Amo Corazón,' the first single off 2006's '3121.' Should the romantic plea not work out, he also adds a line about Hayek's best friend: "If Penelope wants to Cruz there ain't no way that we ain't gon' dance," he sings. Unfortunately for Prince, Penelope Cruz is currently involved with 'No Country for Old Men' star Javier Bardem.

Celebrity Crushes Revealed

Lighten up people. Prince and Salma have been friends for years. Prince looks way good for his age and Salma is still fine! They are only a few years apart in age,anyway. And Ed... you are just a racist moron.

People lighten up. Salma is still fine and Prince looks good too. They are only like 3 or 4 years apart in age. Salma and Prince have been friends for years, besides. So lighten up. And Ed, you are just a racist idiot.

Come on Prince I know there are some sisters out there that would love the attention.

I don't blame you for dreaming. Lets have some respect here, If we can get OBAMA in the white house let us all show some respect for women.

I love your music, and think you are a gret artist, just keep it real.

salma hayek is still fione , don't know what you're talking about and Mr Purple Rain should respect and leave her alone, she's a married woman, whether she's happily married or not, she's still taken. I love prince though but he needs to flirt with a single woman.

This guy looks like the back end of a horse, why would he think a chick like Hayek would go hunting for some one at the bottom of a barrel?. I believe Hayek would have to be in a drug induced stuper to even consider this blackie.

First off--Go Devils!
Secondly, Prince is creepy. He has been hanging his little "prince" out for us all to see since the 1980s. His music has been insignificant for 20+ years. If he wants poon--he needs to move to Vegas and get a headlining gig. Otherwise, take your old, Purple wanker and retire. If I was Selma or Penelope, I would be offended by the lyrics.

Dude is TOO OLD to be crushing on ANYONE!

Hayek is past her prime. Give it a rest, Mr .Purple Rain.
