MAMA DON'T PREACH

Madon...er, Esther (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) continues her obsession with the Jewish mystic movement, Kabbalah, and Kabbalah water:

Madonna stunned concert organizers in Ireland with her backstage demands which, according to sources, which included a request for 25 cases of Kabbalah water. The one-time Material Girl refuses to drink anything but the water sold by the trendy religious movement, which some have called a cult.

Not everyone is thrilled about her interests, however:

“Madonna has taken to pushing Kabbalah on anyone within shouting distance,” says Ross. “She’s been trying to convert everyone who works on the concert [there are more than 100], and that includes making them pray, giving Kabbalah courses as presents, and no doubt, pumping Kabbalah water down their throats. People working on concerts go through a lot of water, and it’s the only drink that she’ll touch.”

Well, apparently almost the only drink she'll touch:

Madonna’s list of backstage demands also includes vodka, but insiders say that’s to remove stains from her outfits.
