...release of Life with My Sister Madonna - the breathless tell-all from the Material Girl's brother, Christopher Ciccone, with writer Wendy Leigh - couldn't have been more fortuitously timed. As the book hits stores, the world's most famous Kabbalah practitioner is fending off rumors of a pending split from husband Guy Ritchie and of an alleged affair with New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, whom she reputedly "brainwashed," causing the dissolution of his marriage.

Rowling's literature: Jewish culture has celebrated the Yahrzeit for centuries. It is a day of joyous yet sorrowful memory of those gone, during which people gather to support the bereaved with sweet recollections of the dead. My grandfather died when I was 7.
