Courting Controversy. When the question is, "How long is long enough before it isn't considered too insensitive to present the side-by-side you've been dying to post since William Balfour was first identified as a person of interest in the nightmarish Jennifer Hudson family killings?" we're afraid the answer is, "There exists no sufficient length of time." With news that Hudson's estranged brother-in-law was finally arrested today, however, we could resist no longer. [Yahoo/AP] -

How Prince Went From "P*ssy Control" To Puritanical Proselytizing
As we mentioned in this morning's Dirt Bag, Prince is now a Jehovah's Witness who proselytizes door to door in L.A. But did you know he's also sort of homophobic now? According to a short profile by Claire Hoffman in this week's New Yorker*, Prince says, "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.’" [Jezebel]

Tracy Morgan Wants to Take Prince Behind a Middle School and Get Him Pregnant
Though 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin never fails to give good interview, we still have to give the edge to his costar Tracy Morgan, who is unafraid to tear off his shirt and make romantic entreaties to every lady in El Paso if that's what the situation requires. Now, in an interview with the November issue of Complex, Morgan extends his press tour winning streak with a graphic ode to what he would do to Prince if the singer veered more toward the distaff side of his own love symbol: More »

Miley Cyrus Is The Latest Name-Changing Celebrity, But What's A Star's Name Got To Do With It?
After hearing that Billion Dollar Girl Miley Cyrus has added yet another name to her list of identities, we had to wonder how all this name-changing business is supposed to help an already-famous star's career. Cyrus, who was given the flashy title Destiny Hope Cyrus at birth, was nicknamed Smiley Miley as a kid by her achy breaky dad Billy and, guess what, it stuck. Now, AOL is reporting that Cyrus has officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus, just like dad Billy Ray. But how have the most memorable mid-career name games fared when it comes to a celebrity's career? We took a look at a few of the most famous quick switches, and discovered it takes more than a flashy press announcement (and even a flashy new symbol) to inject a falling star with newfound fame...

And in other "sexually ambiguous pop geniuses who peaked in the 80s" news today, Prince sent C & D letters to three fansites— www.housequake.com, www.princefams.com and www.prince.org—ordering them to remove all lyrics and "anything linked to Prince's likeness" from their web pages. They vow to band together and fight back under the banner of internet freedom speech, decrying the action as "the equivalent of waking up Christmas morning to find Purple Santa has pooped on your cookie plate and filled his milk glass with urine."

Prince To Relocate To Europe After Sucking Locals Dry
Prince's Roosevelt Hotel residency is well underway, though a number of fans willing to cough up the hefty ticket prices ($312.10 gets you standing-room access to the miniature funk prodigy, ten times that amount gets you all that plus a chair and some rubbery chicken) have emerged underwhelmed. The booking's billing, meanwhile, as "possibly the last time" the singer would perform in L.A. might not have been a mere seat-filling ploy, as Page Six is reporting that the Super Bowl shadow-puppet provocateur is using his earnings to relocate overseas: More »
