Madonna!
I saw her on GMA today, and she said that is the name of the queen that her spiritual adviser 'channeled' for her. It is the name she wants to go by now. She'll still be the stage humping Madonna when she's in front of more than 1,000 people, but the rest of the time she relates to the Biblical Queen Esther. Weird. I can't afford a spiritual advisor, so I tried to 'channel' a new name for myself, but despite hoping for Tom Jones, all I could get was Englebert Humperdinck.

Kwijibo, the poster formerly known as Jorath Calar.
Why do celebrities think that people care about their spiritual side, they are clowns, a spiritual clown is just as much of a clown as your run of the mill, everyday clown. |

Frankly, I consider stars to be a danger when they tread on the spiritual high ground. I fear too many people just stupidly go in their footsteps how wrong those stars may have chosen...

I don't think Madonna knows who she is really.. she always tries to change her look, attitude ever few years, like she's not happy with herself. And this new name is... well, IMO a publicity stunt.
Remember Prince? Did you ever feel weird saying: "Hey! Did ya hear? 'Symbol' is coming to concert next week" |

Yes I totally agree with you there. She just changes to meet the trends and to make more money. Or what ever gains she needs at the time. She must be coming out with a new CD or another crappy movie.

Since when is changing your looks something noteworthy ? A lot of women do it regularly. Heck, even my mom tries different things every now and then. It's only natural to make a few changes from time to time, different hairstyle, different make up, different style of clothing, etc..
It has nothing to do with not being happy with themselves, it's about trying to make improvements. It's the people who always have the same appearance that are usually not too happy with the way they look. Either that, or they don't care.

Isn't adopting a religion for publicity insulting to members of that religion? I remember I wasn't too thrilled when she called herself Madonna and started doing videos with crosses...

But then who really cares. Was there a thread not to long ago about the fixation of these stars and here we are talking about it. But I am just so dam bored.

Funny thing is, the "conventional religions" are not usually represented among the Celebrity Elite, Jewish mysticism seem to be all the rage, yet not Lutheran evangelism or Islam.. Wonder why? Anyone here a demographical/societal religion expert?

That would be identifying themselfes with the lumpen masses, the thing they fear above all.
