New Gods |
hecklerspray reports: It's rumoured that Britney
Spears - while briefly in the throes of her Madonna-imitation stage - once
said in a conversation about religion "Hinduism? Is that like Kabbalah?"
But it looks like she's been boning up.
As part of her seemingly ferocious tear-through
of each major religion, Britney has cast aside her Baptist past and her
Kabbalah flirtation to embrace the virtues of being a Hindu. This dabbling
is thought to only last for about three days, after which Britney Spears
will decide to plunge headfirst into the world of extreme fundamentalist
Islam.[see full story for more]- Click
