We've heard about it for years now. The $5 Mil for the Centre. The hip converts like Demi Moore, Britney Spears, and even Mick Jagger but is all the hulabaloo about recent Kabbalah worship just another version of Scientology? The New Republic certainly doesn't look favorably on Madonna's latest obsession. As a member of the tribe, nobody ever told me that being a part of Team Talmud was part of a trend. If so, I'm an early adopter.

Inside the Kabbalah Center

If you've been keeping up with the train wreck that is otherwise known as Ben Affleck you may be aware that when his movies tank he begins to repackage himself as both a politico and a sports talking head providing scintillating Red Sox commentary. Desperate to rid himself of his gravy-training image (i.e. hanging onto Damon and Lopez for cred) he has been running all over New England campaigning for Kerry. But, it's not easy to shake one's unctuous ways as this pic shows Ben getting an eyeful of SF's Kimberly Guilfoyle-Newsom at a recent fundraiser.
