A Princely Dispute: Prince will ask a court to dismiss a $5-million defamation and breach of contract lawsuit filed against him by his former manager. The singer was sued in Los Angeles by Steve Fargnoli who contends that “Jughead,” a song on Prince’s “Diamonds and Pearls” album, is about him. A spokeswoman for Prince’s Paisley Park Enterprises said that Fargnoli’s claim is unfounded. “Our feeling is the lawsuit is totally without merit,” she said. No court date has been set.
