More news from the world of the famous, beautiful and spiritually-challenged people.
A religious battle is taking place right now between Kabbalah and the Church of Scientology. The first one has superstar singer Madonna on its side and the second is present with a daily obstinacy in almost every tabloid thanks to Hollywood's frequently reported most boring couple, Cruise and Holmes, South Park's former Chef Isaac Hayes and, from time to time, John Travolta.

The two religions compete each-other in gathering as many celebrities on their sides as possible. Rumors of soccer star David Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girl, Victoria being on the path of spiritual conversion started to appear.

Rick Ross of Cultnews.com reports: "It appears that there has been an almost frantic competition between the two most popular purported 'cults' in Hollywood, to get the Beckhams onboard. Each group's top recruiter has come knocking on the door, Tom Cruise from Scientology and Madonna for her beloved Kabbalah Centre."

Victoria Beckham who is a friend of Tom Criuse's wife-to-be, Katie Holmes, was recently spotted reading a copy of "Dianetics" by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

It appears though that Victoria has eventually chosen the other side as she has recently been photographed wearing a red - string bracelet, the Kabbalah Center's trademark.

"Perhaps Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have the edge," notes Ross, "since Ritchie after all is a Brit and his wife keeps a house in the English countryside."

This article is so full of crap it is almost sickening. Kabbalah is not even a religion. So whoever wrote this article has no clue what Kabbalah is! Also, there are many groups out there that think they represent Kabbalah. You people really need to do your research, because if your trying to be a source of information... you guys are clueless. typical MEDIA here.
