Madonna Chooses âEstherâ As New Name
But she will still be a DOUCHEBAG!Call her Esther: Thatâs the Hebrew name Madonna has chosen for herself as a follower of Kabbalah. "I was named after my mother. My mother died when she was very young, of cancer, and ... I wanted to attach myself to another name," the singer says in an interview on ABCâs "20/20," airing at 10 p.m. EDT Friday. "This is in no way a negation of who my mother is ... I wanted to attach myself to the energy of a different name." So screw you, ma. During the interview, Madonna wears the red string around her wrist thatâs a symbol of the Jewish mysticism, though she wears it beneath her watch. She says sheâs sensitive when critics suggest her interest in Kabbalah is just a trend. "Iâm a little bit irritated that people think that itâs like some celebrity band wagon that Iâve jumped on, or that, say, somebody like Demi (Moore) has jumped on," the 45-year-old says. "We donât take it lightly. ... Of course you donât. Any foreign policy statements today? "Paris Hilton did come to the Kabbalah Centre once, because her parents brought her ... and they wanted to help her and they were desperate and they brought her there and she had a meeting and she left and she never came back and suddenly, Paris Hilton studies Kabbalah. I mean thatâs what happens and people ... they donât know the whole story." Maybe they have a 12 Step Program for failed porn stars? Posted by: tu3031 2004-06-17 |
