Madonna Tries To Tempt Britney To Kabbalah

With her divorce settled, pop diva Madonna is focusing into converting more A-list stars to kabbalah, and her latest target is troubled singer Britney Spears.

The 50-year-old has already converted actress Gwyneth Paltrow to the controversial Jewish-based faith that she follows. Now she is attempting, for a second time, to persuade Britney to follow suit, reports said.

Madonna's friendship with Spears ended when the troubled singer announced after the birth of her second son, Jayden James: "I no longer study kabbalah. My baby is my religion."

But once again Madonna has rekindled her friendship with Spears.

"Madonna is determined she can get Spears back into kabbalah. She has offered her a suite of rooms at her apartment in New York and has told her that she is her surrogate mother. Spears used to wear the red kabbalah bracelet and read the books Madonna gave her and she is thinking about giving it another chance."

However, Spears' spokesman neither confirmed or denied the news.

"Spears wouldn't really comment on that, it's just a case of wait and see what happens," said the spokesperson.

Madonna also apparently plans to take her new friend, baseball star Alex Rodriguez, and Spears to Malawi next year in the hope they will make donations to the kabbalah centre she has set up there.

Britney Spears, Madonna 'Fall Out Over Kabbalah'

The following italicized article is from www.showbizspy.com:

MADONNA'S friendship with Britney Spears is reportedly on the rocks after the Toxic singer ditched Kabbalah.

Spears, 26, had been following the mystical Jewish faith as part of her ongoing attempts to straighten out her public image.

But, according to Britain's News of The World newspaper, Spears no longer wants to be involved with the celeb religion -- and subsequently had her forthcoming live spot on Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour dumped.

A source says, "Madonna is dismayed that Britney has just dropped Kabbalah.

"She's always believed it is a way of life, not just something to pick up and get rid of on a whim.
"Madonna doesn't feel she can work with Britney any more because they're just not aligned on a spiritual level."

Britney -- who releases her sixth studio album, Circus, in December -- was due to appear on stage with the Queen of Pop for a live duet as part of the US leg of her tour. But the stunt has now been axed.

Hey Brit — What Happened to Your Tattoo?

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Back in 2004, after briefly falling in with Madonna and her Kabbalah clique, Britney Spears had the Hebrew letters, "mem," "hey," and "shin" tattooed on the nape of her neck. While some claim this combination of letters, "evokes the consciousness of healing," other reports say it's "just gibberish."

Doesn't matter much now, as recent photos appear to show that the mother of two has has done a bit of tattoo erasing.

BEFORE — SEPTEMBER, 2007:

NOW — MARCH 5, 2008:According to one source, the pop princess recently spent $2,000 having the tattoo laser-removed. And friends are saying Brit had the tattoo removed to express the tailspin her life entered in the last year.

"When she got the tattoo, Britney was in control of her life and her career," one pal says. "The whole world can see she's lost control, and the tattoo made her feel like a hypocrite."

Britney: Cash, Cars, And Kabbalah

The following italicized article is from www.pagesix.com:

Britney Spears had something else to cry about last night — her credit card was declined.

At a drugstore in the San Fernando Valley, a PageSix.com spy watched as the singer's Black American Express Card was shot down. After arguing over who had the cash to front Brit's bill, Sam Lutfi paid.

Of course, the money trouble didn't stop Brit from hitting up the Beverly Hills Hotel with Sam and mom Lynne, before moving on to a Mercedes dealership. Armed with coffee (clearly labeled, should she forget what she's drinking) and a Kabbalah book, it's unclear whether the still-glum Brit was dropping off or picking up a set of wheels.
