Madonna has apparently accused Gwen Stefani of copying her. According to the Evening Echo News, the singer says that Stefani is "very sweet and talented," but that she "ripped me off...she married a Brit, she's got blonde hair and she likes fashion". If it's true, it's a bit of a bizarre accusation. There must be a fair few blonde, fashion-liking Americans who have married a British person. Are they all copying Madonna?
Elsewhere, Madonna has been defending her interest in Kabbalah again, and says that it annoys her when the media characterise her faith as a cult. She told the New York Daily News she thought it "would be less controversial if I joined the Nazi Party". She added that she could relate to Tom Cruise and his pursuit of that other scary cult ... sorry, religion, scientology. "If it makes Tom Cruise happy, I don't care if he prays to turtles," she said. "And I don't think anybody else should."
