Pop rebel Madonna is marking her adoption of "punk rock" religion Kabbalah by changing her name to Esther.
The Material Girl was named after her mother who died when the singer was young and said she wanted to be attached to the "energy" of a new name.
In an interview to be broadcast in the US on Friday, the once bad girl of pop also paints a picture of a normal home life.
There is no nanny to clean up after her children Rocco and Lourdes.
She said: "My children have to clean up their mess, clean up their rooms.
"Manners, thank you, please, take your dishes to the sink. I mean gratitude, being grateful that is that has to happen."
Not so polite is her way of encouraging the children keep the home tidy: "Pick up your s***."
Madonna admitted to ABC News that she had in the past been "selfish" and "brought a lot of chaos to people's lives".
Since following the teachings of the Jewish faith Kabbalah - whose principles she said were very "punk rock" and anti-establishment - the singer has learned to follow new directions.
One of the main changes to date has been her name: "I was named after my mother. My mother died when she was very young, of cancer, and I wanted to attach myself to another name.
"This is in no way a negation of who my mother is. I wanted to attach myself to the energy of a different name."
I am mystified as to who is a bigger idiot - the author or the subject.
Slings and Arrows,Let's pick for a new name for Madonna,Stayhomeandtakecareofyourkids is my vote.
Is "Skank" taken?
Slings and Arrows,Just checked google and these felows seem to have it."We're 4 guys who manage to find a few hours a week to pretend we're rock stars. We are Skank Revolution; or Skank, for short. However, we are not a ska band. While we are aware of the associations of the term with ska music, we use it in the more traditional sense (if that is possible with a slang word); that of being nasty, wanton, while at the same time, sickeningly enticing, maybe even sexy.

And they are certainly going to have to go to therapy for many years to deal with the messes you have made!
Maybe they can get a group rate with Courtney Love's daughter.
That's a lie right there. She has several nannies. I guess she wouldn't consider this a lie, because the nannies don't clean their children's rooms. But nannies aren't supposed to clean children's rooms, anyway! Big deal.
Oy gavalt. Yup, hearing this made even this Sephardi burst into Yiddish exaltation. It saddens me deeply that Hollywood whackos debase my faith by labeling Kabbalah "punk rock." It ain't.
I know. I never would have thought I'd live to see it happen, but I have - pop Judaism. I wonder if Buddhists feel the same way every time Richard Gere opens his mouth?
No, no: She has no nannies, her family has the nannies. You'll never marry into a vast ketchup fortune that way.
ChicagoHebrew,Many are not buying her tickets,no-one cares.Love to you and your family,fatima.
Good one! Speaking of Madonna, her husband's career has really jumped the shark since hooking up with her.
Do something startling to get publicity and make big (fake) changes in your life in hopes that it will renew interest in your fading career.
If Madonna was a stock on the Ney York Stock Exchange, everyone would be selling for whatever price they could get.
Her downward curve will continue despite her desperate struggle to turn it around. For her to revive her career at this point would be like getting in a boat and trying to row up Niagara Falls.
"Madonna leaving her New York apartment with Lola and Lola's nanny"
I'm not defending Madonna errr...Esther, but she probably did have nannies before she became a Cult....errr Kabbalist and this pictures appears to be at least 2 years old. She appears to have bought into the whole thing and I would bet that she DOESN'T have nannies anymore because she is really sounding brainwashed about this group she is involved with. She is really pathetic.
do you see the size of lola in thre pic--shes a baby--lola isnt a baby--that picture is years old-- its ok to dislike her--just get it right--im way to busy myself to waste energy on someone who seems to be trying at least to get it right--
You seem to devote enough energy to defending a spoiled woman who is a complete and self-absorbed phoney.
