Madonna Chooses 'Esther' As New Name

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

NEW YORK - Call her Esther: That's the Hebrew name Madonna has chosen for herself as a follower of Kabbalah.

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," the singer says in an interview on ABC's "20/20," airing at 10 p.m. EDT Friday. "This is in no way a negation of who my mother is ... I wanted to attach myself to the energy of a different name."

During the interview, Madonna wears the red string around her wrist that's a symbol of the Jewish mysticism, though she wears it beneath her watch. She says she's sensitive when critics suggest her interest in Kabbalah is just a trend.

Wasn't Esther one of the lepers in Ben Hur? Maybe this will help wash away her sins

Pretty soon she'll change her name to some unidentifiable symbol, and she'll be "the artist formally known as with-legs-wide-open".
