She's not Jewish. The only way you can be a Jew is if you are born one or take the time to convert under an
Orthodox rabbi, a process that takes several years (p.s. if you are a man and have not had a circumcision, you must have one to convert). Most Jews consider the Kabbalah to be BS anyway, it's nothing but ancient Hebrew mysticism. The only Hollywood star that could possibly be considered Jewish now is Madonna since she's been studying the Kabbalahn and Torah for almost ten years, everyone else is just following her trend. (because a red braclet automatically makes you a jew
)
I don't mean to make Judaism sound exclusive, but it kind of is. There is more to being a Jew than studying the holy books. It's a culture, an ethnicity and a society with it's own 5,000+ year long history. You can't just wake up one day and decide that you are going to change who your parents and grandparents, ect. are, life doesn't work that way. I am Jewish because my Father is Jewish, my Grandparents are Jewish and actually that entire branch of my family is Jewish. If I really wanted to, I could hop on the next flight out to Tel Aviv from Boston and claim citizenship and be granted it when I got off the plane. Britney Spears could not do that because she isn't Jewish.
