The biography of Billy Sunday has a picture of him talking to Mae West. My pastor's father preached in the same pulpit once used by Billy Sunday. And, I listen to my pastor preach every Sunday.
That does not mean I find Mae West as an acceptable Christian lifestyle. Madonna, the wretched singer, not The Madonna, could be today's Mae West, and I find her uterly repulsive.
I hate writers who use condemnation by association.
You know what? The writer of the article posts on the same web as the Satanists!
The article is about "Christian" speakers endorsing multiple New Age books and/or being New Agers themselves.
If Billy Sunday endorsed Helena Blavatsky books, that's a huge problem. If Billy Sunday participated in half-gospel half-New Age seminars with Helena Blavatsky's friends, that's a problem.
By the way, Rick Warren was actually a big part of the latest Live8 concert agenda, which did star Madonna! But that was more about a marxist social gospel than New Age spirituality though, so people aren't criticizing him so much for that poor choice.
So the problem isn't casual association with the world's lefty rock or business management stars as you imply. It's about Christians embracing the New Spirituality, and New Agers who embrace Christianity just enough to fool our weak Christian leaders and their Biblically illiterate flock.

Really ! I didn't know that !
1) Could you show us that this is true ?
2) And if #1 is true, does the writer, knowing that this is so, invite these same people to come to her church to speak ( just like some of the people in the said article did ) ?
My point :
There is a difference between not knowing that you are on the same website as people whose worldview you do not endorse and inviting them openly to preach and teach in your pulpit.
