Prince isn't the only 80's megapopstar to turn into a religious nut. Here's Madonna.... Taken from www.madonnatribe.com: Madonna is so devoted to Kabbalah, she has broken ties with her longtime best friend Debi Mazar because Mazar doesn't believe in the tradition of Jewish mysticism. "They are no longer best friends", a source in Madonna's camp confirmed. "Debi is very hurt and confused, but Madonna has made up her mind. These women have been friends for 20 years and now, nothing." The women have young children a year apart, which initially brought them closer. A rep for Mazar declined comment. Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's rep, said: "They are still friends. Madonna is rehearsing six days a week so she doesn't have a lot of time, but the love is still there". Madonna now prefers hanging around the much more deferential Ingrid Casares and Britney Spears, who have followed her lead and started following the precepts of Kabbalah. Insiders aren't all that surprised by the move. "Madonna is doing everything for Kabbalah. She and Guy Ritchie are its biggest cash cows - they make a lot of money for the Kabbalah Center," one said. Not only did all proceeds from Madonna's children's books go to the Kabbalah-inspired Spirituality for Kids Foundation, she also insists on drinking only the Center's "blessed" bottled water (twice the price of regular bottled water) and donated $5 million to the Center in London. Now she's gotten Ritchie to write a movie with Kabbalah themes. Insiders also say she'll donate a chunk of change from her upcoming "Re-Invention Tour" to the Center. The sold-out tour, in which Madonna will sing many of her greatest hits, runs from May 24 to Sept. 4 and covers 16 cities. In observance of the Sabbath, no dates will fall on a Friday. "Look at the schedule," said a music industry insider. "It is grueling. Not many young performers can handle that schedule, much less a 48-year-old woman." Another source at Madonna's label Maverick said: "She is thinking of having several nights on her tour where the proceeds will be donated to charity. And the Kabbalah charities are of course on that list." Madonna can expect to rake in at least $50 million. A rep for the singer said: "This tour is similar to all the other tours she has done. There is nothing unusual about it". As for donating to Kabbalah, her rep said: "This is a profit-making venture for the Material Girl." >From Page Six, New York Post "Awards are like hemorrhoids.

Editor #2: "Then Cameron Diaz is her partner in crime." Editor #1: "Sounds fit to print!" /loves the fabricated "music industry insider" who doesn't even know Madonna's age, but apparently is privy to her personal life and touring activities [This message was edited Mon Apr 19 8:20:46 2004 by VoicesCarry] | |

and a damn good looking 45! yes. and now if we could only get her to DRESS like she's a damn good looking 45, instead of this elderly british school marm look she's adopted lately, since she went all respectable and became a children's book author "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

well, at least Madonna hasn't "pretend" she's ashamed for what she's done...
Inside, she's the same person, a little more spiritual maybe, but she's not trying to "re-arrange" the universe... Remember??? "ABSOLUTELY NO.. REGRETS" (Human Nature video) "America is a continent..." | |
