...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. So bright is Madonna's star that this jumble of reheated anecdotes warranted an initial print run of 350,000 copies...

The earlier decision faulted her "insufficient assimilation", and cited her form of dress, virtual seclusion, and submission to her husband as justification. In her petition to the Conseil d'Etat, Faiza M. argued the 2005 ruling violated France's constitutional right of freedom of religion by condemning her observance of Islam. The rejection of that appeal is final...
