KABBALEXILED

Newly exiled from his London post at the Kabbalah Centre after his remarks about Holocaust victims succumbing to Nazi persecution because they lacked the light of Kabbalah in their lives, Rabbi Eliyahu Yardeni has relocated to the Los Angeles Kabbalah Centre. (Because there, insensitive remarks about the Holocaust are apparently better tolerated.)

Speculation is that Madonna, who was reportedly “furious” by the remarks, pulled some red strings to get the good rabbi reassigned, but no sources could confirm it. (Source: Yahoo! Launch)

But we know what this is really about: Harry’s swastika. Two Holocaust-related stories in one week spells bad PR for the monarchy. At least in L.A. if a Prince does something weird, his symbol's likely to be unpronounceable, or he'll just have the word "slave" written on his face.

(Next up across the pond? I heard that Posh and Becks are naming their next kid Adolf.)
