And I also believe that if we can all live together in harmony in this place, then we can live in peace all over the world.”

    Madonna, 51, has made a real connection with her audiences and with Israel in general, practicing Kabbalah, taking on a Hebrew name of Ester and visiting the Western Wall.

    Madonna is ‘Like a Prayer’ Away from Visiting ‘Rumin’ Poland Over ‘Warsaw’

    Madonna

    Madonna

    In a far off place…Warsaw, Poland, our beloved American Pop star Madonna is not wanted there. Warsaw claims that Madonna’s past performances are overly controversial in the ‘religion’ department. Madonna has a track record of doing things a little bit differently like kissing an actor playing Jesus in one of her videos and staging a crucifixion scene in her last world tour. In some other countries, these kind of antics are taken TOO seriously, just like Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” and “Bruno” movies. Some uptight countries simply just can’t handle our entertainment.

    This year, Madonna has planned a visit once again to the town that utterly adores her! Not really. Reuters reports that “Madonna has upset some believers in devoutly Roman Catholic Poland by timing her Polish debut concert [in Warsaw] to coincide with the day when Christians mark the Virgin Mary’s ascension to heaven.”

    Okay, so the town ‘Warsaw’ doesn’t want her, but the town “Rumin” does! As a matter of fact, people are praying for Madonna to stop there for her tour!

    Madonna Being Auctioned Off Like Marilyn Monroe

    Madonna

    Just think… if your college boyfriend or girlfriend who you’re no longer with, kept all of your emails, letters, notes and photos. Imagine yourself becoming famous. Then try to imagine waking up one day and seeing your old photos and emails strewn all over the internet…and even for sale!

    For Madonna, this is a popular trend in her life! Back in January, that sicko who photographed a ‘young and hairy’ Madonna as a teenager, auctioned off the nude photo for $10,000! Marilyn Monroe has been a victim of men auctioning off her image before and after her death. Famous photographer Bert Stern has successfully paid his rent off of Marilyn’s “The Last Sitting” for over 30 years! The new guy on the auction block is freakshow Jim Albright, a nightclub security guard Madonna met in New York in 1992. He has put up love letters, voice machine recordings and a brief VHS tape featuring the singer for auction.

    The second biggest movie and TV prop house in the WORLD is closing.

    Owner Harvey Schwartz who has ran “20th Century Props” in North Hollywood for 40 years, says ‘he has fallen victim to film and TV production leaving California for other U.S. states that lure producers with tax incentives and fewer restrictions.’

    “I ran out of money about three months ago. The Hollywood business is leaving town and going to various other states,” Schwartz told Reuters.

    Even though this amazing prop house is closing it’s doors, you now have the chance to own rare and original props and memorabilia from super famous movies and TV productions…

    “20th Century Props is closing its doors for good at the end of July and auctioning off a collection of 93,000 props from such films as “Cleopatra” and “Titanic”, as well as TV’s “The X Files” and “Golden Girls” and music videos from Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Madonna.” The auction runs July 28 through Aug 1 at Schwartz’s warehouse in North Hollywood, followed by an online sale.

    Higher fees for filming in the Hollywood radius have screwed the town…

    UPDATE: As Brandon of ThecounT.com reported, It was on Thursday a crane collapse, killing, 53 year-old Charles Criscenzo and and injuring 35 others. Now another man dies from those injuries. Charles Prow, 23.

    The accident occurred while over 50 people were employed to set up Madonna’s concert staging in France.  4 cranes are needed to simultaneously lift the roof. This time the roof became unstable, knocking over a crane, the entire roof came tumbling down inside the 60,000 seat Velodrome in France.

    A total of 8 people are still seriously injured, 30 plus suffering lesser injuries and shock.

    Madonna, 50, was performing a show in Udine, Italy, when she caught wind of the accident, making the following on-stage speech, “Before I continue the show, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and pay tribute to two people who lost their lives today,” she told fans, holding back tears. “I don’t know if you have heard. When they were building my show in Marseilles where we’re playing next — we don’t know why, but one of the cranes fell, a piece of the stage fell down. Two men lost their lives. It’s a great tragedy to me. … I feel so devastated to be in any way associated with anyone’s suffering. … Let’s all just take a moment to say a prayer for Charles Criscenzo and for Charlie Prow, two men who lost their lives today. Our hearts go out to their families, to their loved ones. Please, let’s all just take a moment to appreciate life in general. Let’s give it up for the two Charlies!”

    Madonna Stage Collapse Kills Two

    Two people were killed yesterday while constructing the stage for Madonna’s stage show in France.  Authorities say that a crane fell after the partially built roof collapsed, killing one person at the scene. A second man died in the hospital after being in intensive care.  Reports say that at least eight other crew members were seriously injured in the accident and 30 more slightly injured.

    Madonna released a statement saying she was “devastated”. She also added “my prayers go out to those who were injured and their families, along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news.”

    Authorities say that the roof was being constructed by cranes when it became unstable and collapsed.  Many people were able to escape and therefore avoided injury.  The now canceled concert was going to be held at Velodrome stadium in Marseilles.

    At a concert in Italy last night, Madonna paid tribute to those killed.  She stopped her perform to say to the crowd I ask you for a moment to stop and think of the people who have lost their lives, we need to appreciate life, the people we love and our families.”

    Britney Spears Converting to Judaism?

    Britney wearing the Star of David necklace

    Is Britney Spears becoming a member of the tribe?

    Rumor has it that the pop star is converting to Judaism.  She has recently been seen wearing a Star of David necklace, which is the sign of being Jewish.  Britney was raised as a Baptist but has also tried Hinduism as well as Kabbalah, which is a form of Jewish mysticism that Madonna champions.   Perhaps Britney’s studying of Jewish scripture led her to Judaism.

    I was raised Jewish so Britney, if you’re reading this, just send me an email and I’ll teach you all you need to know about being a Jew.  You can even bring the kids.  It’ll be good times.
