Madonna embraced, jeered in Jerusalem
Madonna met with Israel's president Saturday during a visit to attend a conference on Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical sect she has embraced despite criticism from Orthodox Jews.
The pop star was seen entering Shimon Peres' home in Jerusalem with husband Guy Ritchie after the end of the Jewish New Year at sunset Saturday. The Nobel Peace laureate gave Madonna a copy of the Old Testament that she had requested, Israeli TV reported.
On Friday, Madonna was filmed singing Jewish songs and dancing at a conference on Kabbalah with a crowd of hundreds at a Tel Aviv hotel.
Orthodox Jews have called her interest in the sect an abomination.
Fonda decides to share memorabilia with fans
Actor Peter Fonda is auctioning off some of his memorabilia from “Easy Rider,” including the American flag taken from the back of the jacket he wore throughout the film.
Fonda, who was producer, co-writer and co-star of the groundbreaking 1969 movie, “just decided it was time to share some of his treasures with collectors and fans,” said Doug Norwine, director of music and entertainment memorabilia at Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas.
The flag has an estimated value of $50,000. Other items up for auction Oct. 6 will include a Department of Defense pin that adorned the jacket, Fonda's gold record for the film's soundtrack album and his collection of six movie posters, including those for “Easy Rider” and “Ulee's Gold.”
Channing's $150,000 dress recovered after theft
Carol Channing's signature dress - a shimmery number she wore in the stage production of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” - was recovered Friday night after being stolen from a Hollywood hotel.
A man found an abandoned bag containing the dress at a Hollywood park and turned it over to authorities, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman. The man was not identified.
The dress was in police custody and would be returned to Channing once the investigation was completed, Lee said.
The 86-year-old actress and her husband were checking into the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel on Thursday when a man swiped one of her bags from a bell cart in the lobby. Channing told police it was valued at $150,000.
