Britney plans a Kabbalah wedding
By Laura Benjamin, Daily Mail, Showbusiness Reporter 27 July 2004
Britney Spears, whose first marriage in January lasted just 55 hours, is to wed again, in a Kabbalah ceremony.
Friends say the 22-year-old singer has set aside a weekend in the autumn to marry fiance Kevin Federline, who she began dating in April.
It would be the first celebrity Kabbalah marriage and could take place beneath a traditional Jewish canopy known as a chuppah, with wedding vows inspired by the cult religion. The faith taken up by Miss Spears is also favoured by Madonna, Guy Ritchie and Demi Moore.
Miss Spears's parents are said to be horrified at the prospect and, as devout Baptists, are urging her to plan a ceremony reflecting their faith.
'There's some resistance from her family,' said a friend. 'But maybe there's a way to incorporate elements from both faiths, and make everyone happy.'
The singer has turned to Kabbalah after a dramatic few months which have seen her cancel a world tour following a knee injury.
Now she has fallen for 26-year-old Federline, a dancer whose exgirlfriend Shar Jackson gave birth only last week to his second child.
Following a number of failed romances, Miss Spears said of her liaison with Federline that she had 'kissed a lot of frogs and finally found a prince'.
The stresses of the past year have already taken a toll on the singer - she was photographed earlier this month apparently unfit, overweight and with pimples on her face.
Her first wedding, earlier this year, was held at a roadside chapel in Las Vegas after a long night out with childhood friend Jason Alexander. The marriage was annulled.
17 posts and nobody followed the rule.
Seems she told her parents to shut up on that, too. This is love, and she doesn't need a pre-nup. Looks like loverboy has found a way to pay child support for those illegitimate babies of his.
Yes, It's still being sold....To New age Idiots.....
"Kabbalah Center" is a POS cult which has as much to do with Judaism as "Scientology" has to do with science.
Which rule would that be? Not to insult someone's religion??...
Was that before or after her kissing episode with mahonna?
I have to say, I think Britney is a tragic figure. She's got all the money in the world, and the common sense of a amoeba. She seems to just blunder through life, not thinking anything through.
I wonder if the mother of the child is going to go after Britney and hubby once they are married for big child support payments?? This will be interesting to follow.... ;)
i thought it was after. i recall it being when she was said to be spiralling out of control. not that that has stopped, but she and madonna had the liplock for the awards show last year wasn't it?
She celebrated her faith in Kaballah by getting a set of Hebrew characters tattooed on the back of her neck. Her extensive knowledge of her new faith, apparently, doesn't extend to the Jewish prohibition on tattoos. Nor to the proper way to read Hebrew letters: the tatto is backwards, and thus gibberish. Matching the tattoo she got earlier, which she thought was the Chinese symbol for 'mysterious' but was later whorified to learn actually translates as 'strange'.
During an interview about her album, she claimed to have been influenced by 'Eastern spiritual religions'. When asked if she was referring to Hinduism, she replied "What is that? Is that like kaballah?"
pictures!
Your post #30 is dangerous to people in offices. It can spark bursts of uncontrollable laughter. Put a warning on it next time ;-)
Hollyweird celebrities change their "faith" as frequently as they change their wardrobes. To them, religion is a fashion accessory.
That one doesn't look anything like the "8 ball" I had back in the late 50s/ early 60s. It was black, 7-8" diameter, had white "8" on it, and a flat clear spot where an 8-10 sided "answer" appeared after I shook it.
I saw one recently driving by a yard sale. I was tempted to stop and get it, but didn't.
Anything they do is fashion....kids...religion.....politics....to get their next part or next gig....that's all life is to these people...
=== but then this is NOT real Judaism but an occult form of it. That's why these people gravitate toward it - the OCCULT!
Has the Knesset ever ruled on Kabbalism the same way they've ruled on equivalency of the Orthodox/Conservative/Reform forms of Judaism?
The obligatory photos, though the sight may make you gag (and I suspect she gagged too while they were taking them). (Warning: Borderline work-unfriendly)
