Madonna and her Kabbalah Hotel

Madonna has bought a five story London house that she will use as a hotel/center for fellow Kabbalahlites.

People nearby are not very happy. One resident said, "Having a Kabbalah center would be totally inappropriate. It's a seriously manipulative sect which is very good at getting people's money, including Madonna's".

When asked yesterday if she thought supporting the "brainwashed" group had damaged her career, the singer told America's NBC news: "Absolutely not, I do know there's cynicism involved but I accept it because it's different people are always suspicious of new things"
