First Madonna, now Britney?

What happened to her quitting music and going into science?

It turns out that Britney Spears is into Kabbalah, the study of Jewish mysticism. So is she following Jewish law now and not eating pork or sea fish? I just don't see anyone from Louisiana that is not Jewish doing such things. IMDB reports:

Britney Spears is taking her secret Kabbalah lessons seriously - she's had a Hebrew symbol tattooed on the back of her neck. The pop superstar, who has dabbled with the mystical offshoot of Judaism after being introduced to it by pal Madonna, seems to be getting serious about all things Kabbalah. Her new Hebrew symbol, which represents "the power of healing," is one of two new tattoos Britney has had inked on her...

Now, here is where the turn of events happen. She gets a tattoo which is a violation of Jewish law. This is text that appears on My Jewish Learning:

The prohibition of tattooing is found in the Torah: "You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves: I am the L-RD" (Leviticus 19:28).

It is the second part of this verse from which we derive the general prohibition against tattooing.
