Kabbalah
leads to spat between Madonna and Guy Ritchie (Go

London: Pop icon
Madonna's obsession with Kabbalah seems to be getting to
her husband, British director Guy Ritchie, who reportedly
had a fight with the "Like a Virgin" singer after he threatened
a Kabbalah priest. According to The Sun, Ritchie was trying
to talk to Madonna while she was rehearsing for the Re-Invention
tour, but could not get a word in because the couple were
repeatedly interrupted by a rabbi. An enraged Ritchie is
reported to have grabbed the rabbi by his collar and threatened
to break his face if he didn't leave him alone with his
wife. "He reared up, the veins were sticking out of his
forehead. He grabbed the guy's shirt. He just snarled, 'If
you don't back off I'm going to break year face.' It was
scary," said an onlooker. Madonna is said to have jumped
to the rabbi's defence and screamed at Ritchie, "Don't ****ing
embarrass me," after which they both stormed off in a fury.
Madonna failed to show up for rehearsals for the rest of
the day.

The word is out, Australian hunk Eric Bana has been
chosen to step into Pierce Brosnan's shoes to play the next
James Bond, and he is all set give the suave double agent
a younger, modern look. According to the News of the World,

in the epic movie "Troy," has beaten the likes of actors
Jude Law, Orlando Bloom, Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman,
who had also been slated as favourites to play the role.
Although Bana is still in talks with producers and nothing
has been finalised yet, the filmmakers reportedly have their
hearts set on the "Incredible Hulk" actor, to star in the
next Bond flick, "The Man With the Red Tattoo." The movie
will see 007 on a mission to save the world from a killer
virus. "Eric is the guy they want but he has a reputation
for being demanding. They want to modernise Bond and turn
him into a youthful, suave and modern hero to compete with
the likes of Spiderman and Keanu in The Matrix," the report
quoted an insider as saying.

London:
Italians are not enamoured with official posters at
train stations, which says that their food is smelly. According
to The Sun, London Underground stuck up the posters to stop
Italian passengers' snacks from upsetting other travellers.
The controversial poster shows a fat Italian man sitting
in a train surrounded by salami, sausages, hams and garlic,
and the slogan reads, "Please don't eat smelly food." However,
the anti-smelly food campaign has irked Italy's ambassador
to London, Giancarlo Aragona, and he has posted off furious
letters to Transport Chiefs and London Mayor, Ken Livingstone.
A complaint has even gone to the European Union in Brussels
from Gianni Gorreri, boss of the Italian Meat and Salami
Association. "We are discussing with solicitors the damage
caused to Italy's image. It's unbelievable," the report
quoted Gorreri as saying. Meanwhile, London Underground
has offered its apology to Italians and have begun tearing
down the posters, which cost 100,000 pounds.

New
York: Hip-hop star Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs has purchased
a 21-room mansion for 8.95 million dollars in Alpine, New
Jersey. Diddy's huge mansion has eight bedrooms, 91/2-bath,
17,000- square-foot house on 31/2 secluded acres, a large
theatre, an indoor basketball and racquetball court, a full
gym with sauna, a pool with a waterfall and separate spa,
a wine cellar, a bar with a 700-gallon aquarium, and a six-car
garage. According to The New York Post, Diddy will have
fellow hip-hop celebrities like Russell Simmons, Mary J.
Blige and Lil' Kim as his neighbours. However, not all of
Diddy's new neighbors will be happy to have him in their
area, as the rap star is famous for his wild all- night
parties. "It doesn't matter to me either way, to be honest.
But it will be interesting to see if traffic increases,
or if he brings any commotion to the neighborhood," The
New York Post quoted Frank Rodriguez, an Alpine resident
and Diddy's new neighbour, as saying.
