Is Michael Jackson turning to Kabbalah?

The singer has been wearing the red string bracelet favored by
followers of the trendy religion, and a Kabbalah insider tells the
Scoop that Jackson has been dabbling in the mystical offshoot,
whose members include Madonna and Britney Spears.

“Jackson is friendly with Elizabeth Taylor who has studied
Kabbalah, and it’s my understanding she got him interested in
it,” says the source. “He’s been wearing the red string during
the trial, like Winona Ryder did during her trial, because it
wards off the evil eye. Looks like it worked.”

Jackson’s rep didn’t return calls and a spokeswoman for
Kabbalah told the Scoop: “Actually, we don’t have any comment

on that.”
