Raging rabbi

  • Post author:

The outrage at the Weeping Wall kiss, the anger at a Hasidic Jew and his family for acting in “NY, I Love You” and now Rabbi Jonathan Freirich is piling in on the Hindu “controversy”. Perhaps the Rabbi should rather spend his time looking at the pain and suffering created by his religion before lashing out at an actress having fun in Bollywood garb. Just a thought.

NATALIE PORTMAN has been dealt a bitter blow just in time for Jewish holy day Yom Kippur – a leading U.S. Rabbi has condemned her portrayal of an Indian princess in a new video.

The Star Wars actress portrays Princess Carmensita Saplingita in ex-boyfriend Devendra Banhart’s new promo for Carmensita – a move that has already upset leading Hindu scholars, who have called for her to publicly apologise for mocking their religion.

Kill the cheerleader, save the world

A CBS Sports blog has an article called Hollywood’s 10 Hottest Anti-Cheerleaders. In other words, celebs who don’t have the typical hot look and who are more into brains…which is why the pick of Sarah Palin is a little confusing. Nevertheless, Natalie made it to number 1 and here’s what was said:


Forget about how bad the Star Wars films she was in were for now and know that Portman completed her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Harvard. She has also pursued graduate studies in Jerusalem, continuing to live up to her billing as Hollywood’s Hottest Anti-Cheerleader.

After beginning her career in the early 1990s, Portman has played the cute, unassuming role in most of her films. But the 2005 drama Closer was the first time Portman portrayed an overtly sexual character, and men can’t thank the director enough.
