Cat Stevens Misinterprets Islamic Law
Oops, we mean Yusuf Islam, has misinterpreted Islamic law. That’s why he’s playing music to live crowds again for the first time in 27 years. He tells Mojo magazine, “This issue of music in Islam is not as cut-and-dried as I was led to believe…I relied on heresy, that was perhaps my mistake.” It took all these years to figure that out? He had retired from performing because he thought live music was against Islamic law . All we can say is oh well. Live and learn, right? At least he’s back on stage again.

Madonna Real Estate News
After years of perfecting a faux British accent, Madge just may be returning stateside. Rumors are she’s looking at buying a townhouse in New York for $35 million. She can afford it, of course.
