Prince Perfume Lawsuit: Singer Ordered to Pay Nearly $4 Million to Cosmetics Company

In a lawsuit initiated in 2008, Revelations' bosses claim to have spent millions of dollars on a line of perfume inspired by Prince's 2006 album 3121. The pop superstar was supposed to plug the scents via media interviews and in-store appearances, but the plaintiffs say the famously elusive musician never followed through on his end of the deal.
"Since July 2007, despite repeated attempts by Revelations, there have been virtually no communications from anyone who could commit to or coordinate any promotional efforts by Prince," the suit read.
Prince argued that he informed the company in December 2006 that he would not do interviews for the fragrances, but the court found that the singer "continued to send mixed messages" for some time, at one point indicating he would appear on Oprah Winfrey's talk show. That appearance never happened, and what's more, Prince refused to pass out perfume samples at his concerts.
While the ruling will cost Prince some big money, it could have been worse. The judge ruled that since there was no evidence of "malicious intent," Revelations is not entitled to punitive damages.

The perfume industry needs to be sued like with the tobacco companies!!!! Prince please countersue, and in your suit please claim that secondhand perfume is worse than secondhand smoke, much much worse! But Prince won't go to court, if he is still a practicing Jevohiah's Witness. They must remain neutral according to their faith, and that includes not using the American court system. Witnesses don't vote, either. But if Prince doesn't sue the perfume industry, somebody should!!!!

Her blogs and hot videos were just seen on a celeb dating club _Ａgeｌｅｓｓdate. Com _ , It is said she is seeking for some rich man to be her boyfriend. Is that true? I am wondering.

If the is in reference to the 3121 fragrance, I understand why he didn't promote it. Its awful! I purchased some last year and was very disappointed. Its wan't up what I see as being Prince's style at all. It wasn't even on an Avon level........

It is said that she has a nice profile and hot videos on a celeb dating site http://www.agelessdate.com/. I do not know why she does so. Some users on that site already saw them and are discussing hotly. OH~~~OH~~~~
