FGP Celebrity Quote of the Week: Liam Neeson Is Intrigued by Islam

Last updated on: January 25, 2012 at 1:08 pm By Lilit Marcus

Liam Neeson recently filmed a movie in Istanbul, and the experience caused him to consider a new religion. The actor, who was raised Irish Catholic, said, “The Call to Prayer happens five times a day and for the first week it drives you crazy, and then it just gets into your spirit and it’s the most beautiful, beautiful thing. There are 4,000 mosques in the city. Some are just stunning and it really makes me think about becoming a Muslim.”... Read more

Well, This Was Inevitable: A Jewish Parody of Tim Tebow

Last updated on: January 16, 2012 at 5:00 pm By Lilit Marcus

As I’ve said before elsewhere, Jewish people love to make lame knockoffs of every big pop culture story. Right now, there’s virtually no bigger pop culture figure than Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow, so of course the Jewish parody-making contingent has come up with their kosher-certified equivalent. Meet “Heebow.” Read more

Listen Up: Craig Finn’s ‘New Friend Jesus’

Last updated on: January 16, 2012 at 2:01 pm By Lilit Marcus

Craig Finn, frontman of The Hold Steady, has a new solo album called Clear Heart Full Eyes. While I’m basically on board with anything containing a Friday Night Lights shoutout, the album is also beautiful in its own right. My current favorite track is “New Friend Jesus,” which contains the standout lyrics “It’s hard to suck with Jesus in your band” and “People say we suck at sports/but they don’t understand/it’s hard to catch with holes right through your hands.”...

Teen Mom Jenelle Evans Went to Church and Then Shot Guns

Last updated on: January 15, 2012 at 11:03 pm By Lilit Marcus

Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans, best known for giving up custody of her son to her mother and repeatedly getting arrested, has a new boyfriend who took her to church. He then took her to shoot guns. Jenelle, I understand that church and guns make you feel more Southern somehow, but I’m from the same state as you (North Carolina represent!) and am a Jewish pacifist, so I think your Southernitude is really more of a state of mind...

Tila Tequila Supposedly Converting to Judaism

Last updated on: January 13, 2012 at 1:27 pm By Lilit Marcus

Reality star Tila Tequila, who is best known either for her Vh1 reality show A Shot at Love or for being the only person who can still say they are famous on MySpace, has announced her plans to convert to Judaism. However, her description sounds confusing – she’s either doing a Reform conversion or getting involved with Kabbalah. More likely, she’s joining the Temple of Please Pay Attention to Me Again. “As time passed, I started to become more and... Read more

Matisyahu Did a Lot More Than Shave Off His Beard

Last updated on: January 13, 2012 at 12:30 pm By Lilit Marcus

A few weeks ago, when Hasidic reggae singer Matisyahu ditched his beard, it was a big shift in his career and personal paths. But he did a lot more than simply give up Orthodoxy – according to the Forward, Matis has moved from New York to L.A. and is pursuing an acting career. His first role is as a rabbi in the horror movie The Possession, which comes out in August and stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick. That... Read more

Katy Perry’s Parents Want Her to Date Tim Tebow

Last updated on: January 11, 2012 at 5:36 pm By Lilit Marcus

It’s no secret that Katy Perry‘s religious parents (they’re Christian ministers) weren’t crazy about Russell Brand‘s lack of piety. Now that he’s out of the way, the Perrys have taken time out of their busy Jew-bashing schedule to try and play matchmaker for their daughter and Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow has been very open about his Christian beliefs and is reportedly guest-speaking at the Perrys’ California church soon. Don’t you guys hate it when your parents try to... Read more

Some People Are Really Hung Up on the ‘Blue Ivy Is Satan’ Thing

Last updated on: January 11, 2012 at 10:57 am By Lilit Marcus

Although most people who read the weirdo conspiracy “Jay-Z and Beyonce‘s baby is the devil” thing the other day laughed it off as absurd, some are refusing to let it go. A church in West End, NC (Note: I’m from NC and had never heard of this place, so I had to look up where it is. It’s near Pinecrest, which basically means it’s not near anything.) has put up this sign claiming that lil’ Blue Ivy Carter is Satan.... Read more
