The Artist Formerly Known As Married:

Prince's NPG Music Club isn't the only thing shutting down.

The Musicology artist's wife of five years, Manuela Testolini Nelson, filed for divorce on May 24, according to court documents obtained Wednesday by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Testolini Nelson, 29, used to work for Paisley Park Studios, the recording and production complex Prince opened near Minneapolis in 1987.

The duo tied the knot in 2001 in a small, super-secret Jehovah's Witness ceremony in Hawaii, with the bride taking her husband's name. For those of you who may have forgotten that the 48-year-old Prince has a last name, he was born Prince Robert Nelson.

While her future ex has been busy releasing a number-one album, performing on Saturday Night Live and American Idol, picking up BET and Webby awards and making cryptic comments, Testolini Nelson runs Gamillah Inc., which houses a production company, a line of designer candles and other businesses.

This was Prince's second marriage. His first, to backup singer-dancer Mayte Garcia, was annulled in 1998 after two years, with Prince stating that "the best way to demonstrate [that they're joined for life] is to do away with the legal bonds that people demand."

Speaking of legal demands, Britain's HM Publishing Holdings filed a trademark lawsuit against Prince's NPG Music Club (named after the New Power Generation) Website on July 3, protesting its use of the "NPG" moniker because it coincides with the company's own Nature Publishing Group, or NPG.

Prince's attorney, David Schelzel, has said that his client's right to use the name is not in jeopardy and that the decision to shut down NPGMusicClub.com had nothing to do with the lawsuit.

Sorry to hear the news. Hey maybe he can now be with Carmen Electra again? (this is just a joke.)

You can't say that this was desolved because of Hollywood, Prince lives in Minnesota.
