Two Religion-Themed Moments from Grammy Night 2012

Last updated on: February 13, 2012 at 10:29 am By Lilit Marcus

Last night’s Grammy awards were full of moments both touching (Adele crying at her wins and singing for the first time post-surgery) and confusing (whatever Coldplay was doing up there). But although it’s nothing unusual for stars to thank God when they win an award, last night was pretty heavy on the spiritual references. First, host LL Cool J opened with a prayer for Whitney Houston, whose death this weekend shocked and saddened many of us. Later, the always-outrageous Nicki... Read more

Hugh Jackman’s Chocolate Is Kosher

Last updated on: February 11, 2012 at 12:39 pm By Lilit Marcus

… wait, that sounds dirty, doesn’t it? Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Hugh Jackman (who will be playing Jean Valjean in the Les Miz movie and probably kicking ass at it) is launching his own line of chocolates. Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness already have a coffee company called Laughing Man, and the chocolate is an expansion of that brand. The chocolates are organic and kosher, in case you were wondering what to get your Jewish sweetheart for... Read more

The Material Girl, who visited Israel during the height of her Kabbalah phase, is scheduled to play in Tel Aviv on May 29.

She wrote, “DUE TO MUCH CONFUSION IN MY SOUL,PLAYİNG FOR MY İSRAELİ FANS W/SUCH UNREST BETWEEN İSRAEL&PALESTİNE I CAN’T PLAY,AS I FEEL SICK IN MY SPIRIT XX.” Of course, plenty of Israeli fans are pissed that they already paid for tickets, but other fans...

Last week, Kim Kardashian completed the 1,092nd step of her Attempted Post-Divorce Rehabilitation Tour by tweeting that she wanted to start a Bible study group. Looks like she wasn’t done yet, though – she attended services at L.A’s Life Change Community Church this Sunday with new bestie LeAnn Rimes.
