Madonna: Still No Ring on Friday Night

She sparked rumors earlier this week when she stopped wearing her wedding ring, and last night on her way to a Kabbalah service, Madonna was still without her left ring finger adornment.

And it was a flurry of Madonna offspring outside the New York City Kabbalah center, as Carlos Leon brought his daughter Lourdes (Madonna’s eldest) to meet up with the “Like a Virgin” singer.

Madonna Gets Her Kabbalah On

In Jewish law, there is a rule called the ‘tithe’ that states that everyone who comes to the temple must bring an offering of 10% of their salary to give as an offering.  And the Kabbalah peeps must love to see Madonna heading their way!

The “Like a Virgin” singer was spotted arriving at New York City’s Kabbalah Center with gal pal Debbie Mazur yesterday.  And it seems she’s passed her Jewish beliefs on to her daughter.

Madonna Buys A Bar

When it comes to family time, you won’t find many more dedicated moms than Madonna.  She was spotted leaving the Kabbalah Center in Beverly Hills on Saturday night with her kids.

And it looks like daughter Lourdes may be following in her mommy’s performing footsteps, as she was seen wearing ballet dance clothes, with her hair pulled back into a tight bun.

Amy Winehouse’s Mom: Come Home!

Things have gotten so bad for Amy Winehouse that her mother is making a public appeal to bring the “Rehab” singer to her senses. 

Janis Winehouse, Amy’s mother, released a public letter to the press, hoping her daughter will take notice and return to her family to get the help she so desperately needs.

Celebrity Mothers Set The Bar High

It can be intimidating for new mothers these days.  In addition to the whole new world of taking care of a newborn and maintaining a family, there is this emerging phenomenon of “have it all” mothers in Hollywood.  Every time you turn on the television or hop on the Internet there are constant images of celebrity children (both biological and adopted) alongside their enormously successful movie star moms.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes and Gwen Stefani top the list of celeb mommies that appear to have paired career success with motherhood. On the other side of that coin are experts that say that such a perception is unrealistic.
