Pop diva Madonna and her film director husband, Guy Ritchie, celebrated Purim in Los Angeles at the Kabbalah Centre. Boy George, famous for his everyday-is-Purim wardrobe, recently criticized the Material Girl because of her ties to the center.
“Nobody has actually bothered to investigate the Kabbalah attitude to gay people and I can assure you that I have investigated it, and they are homophobic,” he said, according to the Sunday Mirror. “And I do think it’s shocking that somebody who has made so much money out of gay people is now part of an organization which is clearly anti-gay.”

Oh Boy George, for heaven's sake!! Give it a rest. The Kabbalah was written thousands of years ago. How can you complain about the attitude of people who were taking their ideas from the Bible!? Grow up and get over yourself. I have to say, though, the the Kabbalah Institute is a real rip-off on people who truly know and believe in Kabbalah. Madonna and people like her are being taken in. Red ribbons, for one thing, are CRAP!
Good thing for Boy George that the Kabblah Centre isn't anti-has-been; he'd have two strikes against him....
Kabbalah center is a money hungry cult. The police should shut them down soon. Too many people are getting hurt everyday because of this horrible cult.
