Esther, the Material Girl

Recently, Banshee Blog reported that Madonna instituted a swearing jar on her tour bus. But, the changes don't end there. On Thursday, the Material Girl told ABC news that she now wishes to be known as "Esther." The name change is just one part of her recent exploration into the "religion" of Kabalah (I say "religion" because, as far as I can tell, Kabalah doesn't actually require a belief in anything except belief itself). The name change isn't the only part of the interview that demonstrated Madonna's total lack of connection with reality. Madonna also declared in her fake, British accent that George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein were really a lot alike. Come on, Esther. My advice to Esther: if you wanna save any credibility at all, you should heed the title of Laura Ingraham's latest book and Shut Up and Sing.
