Madonna says that she's amazed by the celebrity uptake of Kabbalah, and insists that she got there first. Oh, and that it's a serious commitment for her, obviously.
The singer has come up against criticism for practising the religion, not least because of its stance that homosexuality is a curable disease, but that hasn't stopped other c'lebs getting in on the act. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are known to be devout followers and Britney Spears is said to have expressed an interest in the cult.
Anyway, according to Femalefirst, Madonna said "I was pregnant with my daughter and I went to this dinner party where I heard someone talk about the Kabbalah, which seemed to address questions I'd started asking. I've been studying for nine years. I know there's all this fuss about it now, celebrities and so on. When I started, there were no celebrities and I just sat at the back of the class."
