Charles Manson is asking new prison-mate Phil Spector to jump-start his singing career, said Spector’s wife this week. “A guard brought Philip a note from Manson, who said he wanted him to come over to his cell,” Rachelle Spector told the New York Post. The producer’s publicist said Spector was creeped out by Manson’s overture. “Phil’s like, ‘I used to pick up the phone and it was John Lennon of Céline Dion or Tina Turner, and now Charles Manson is trying to get a hold of me.’”
