Back to her old habits and making her father proud
More controversy from the Rush & Mulloy column on the New York Daily News, but also a great Madonna quote by the words of her rep, Liz Rosenberg again:
“No disrespect was intended“, Rosenberg said. “Madonna dreamed of becoming a nun when she was a little girl. She said, ‘Finally, i’ll make my father proud!’ ”
The article also suggest that Madonna will hit New York this spring when her fifth children’s book, “Lotsa de Casha“, is released-
Catholic League wants nun of Madonna
Madonna is back to her old habits. Not only has the singer scandalized Catholics by dressing up like a nun – her husband, Guy Ritchie, has dared to ape the ailing Pope. The couple seemed to court outrage last week when they turned up in ecclesiastical costume at a London party celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim.
Catholic League President William Donahue instantly booked the pair a suite in an outer circle of hell. “It just goes to show you what a moral slug this man [Ritchie] is that he would get dressed up as the Pope at a time like this,” Donahue told us.
Madonna’s rep Liz Rosenberg insisted that costumes are a traditional Purim rite. “No disrespect was intended,” Rosenberg said. “Madonna dreamed of becoming a nun when she was a little girl. She said, ‘Finally, I’ll make my father proud!'”
Madonna hit the same nerve in 1989 when she wore a wimple and a crucifix for her “Like a Prayer” video. Since then she has embraced the Jewish mysticism of the kabbala.
“We’re quite disappointed,” Donahue said, after learning that she’d returned to the fold, so to speak. “We Catholics thought we had finally gotten rid of the witch when she discovered kabbala. In the event she discovers the Wiccan religion, the Catholic League would be happy to donate a proper [witch] costume to her.
“And we would be ever so happy to send her husband a broom complete with instructions for what to with it.”
Maybe Donohue can present his gift when Madonna hits New York this spring to promote her fifth children’s book, “Lotsa de Casha,” in which the multimillionairess writes about a rich man who learns that money doesn’t matter.
