MADONNA - MADONNA: 'I DIDN'T FORCE KABBALAH ON RITCHIE'

Pop star MADONNA has rubbished reports she forces her director husband GUY RITCHIE to study the Kabbalah.

The HUNG UP singer insists her passion for the mystical offshoot of Judaism hasn't caused any difficulties within their five-year marriage.

She says," No problem at all. I would say he studies (Kabbalah), but probably not as enthusiastically as I do.

"He does it in his own way. He's into more of the intellectual side of it than I am.

"I didn't meet him and say, 'You have to believe in the same things I believe in.' My credentials are to be a decent human being.

"I would say he believes in God. Maybe he always did, but Brits are kind of allergic to the idea (of God)."
