Prince Writes Another Song for Another Actress

It turns out Salma Hayek isn't the only actress Prince is hot for. After writing 'Valentina' for Hayek, the Purple One also reportedly penned the track 'Better With Time' for Kristin Scott Thomas.

Fans may recall that a then 26-year-old Scott Thomas was coaxed by Prince to appear topless in his 1986 film, 'Under the Cherry Moon.' She's 48, and the singer still thinks she's hot. Exhibit A: the lyrics.

"This might seem strange/Since so much time has passed/And since only one of us/Still looks the same/Your words not mine, baby/You're still fine, yes you are/ Like wine, you get better with time."

The British born actress is flattered by the attention, telling the New York Daily News, "If it's true, it's fantastic. He is incredibly intelligent and talented -- if he's written a song for me, it's just the most wonderful present."

Even if he did it for another actress.

Celebrity Crushes Revealed

    Prince recently revealed that his song 'Valentina' is about actress Salma Hayek and her daughter Valentina. He sings "Hey Valentina, tell your mama she should give me a call."

"Even if he did it for another actress..." It is possible to have crushes on multiple people. Crushes are often quickly fueled with extremely intense emotion and so they are subject to waning and the crusher taking up another crush. I love Prince's music and it's just what he does now. I guess since he won't or can't bang them, he writes crush songs about them. It's cool. Prince is definitely an "eye" man, loves the eyes.
