Oy, this story is completely meshugah. And excuse us if there are typos, but we’re laughing so hard it’s tough to write. According to MediaTakeOut.com, “R&B SINGER USHER PULLS A SAMMY DAVIS JR … LOOKS TO HAVE CONVERTED TO JUDAISM!!!”
So has Usher been meeting with rabbis? Going to synagogue? Learning Hebrew? No.
MediaTakeOut’s proof that he’s converting is nothing more than him wearing a red string, which is sometimes done by people who follow Kabbalah, a mystical branch of Judaism.
One problem – among many here – is that Usher isn’t even into Kabbalah. He’s just wearing a red string. That’s all.
When Gossip Cop finally finished laughing, we asked his rep about MediaTakeOut’s big scoop. According to his spokeswoman, who first screamed, “What?!” Usher “is not converting to Judaism.” She went on to say, “This is not a Kabbalah string. He wears lots of different bands.”
Speaking of bands… Damn, we were so psyched for his bar mitzvah!
