Britney SpearsThe Kabbalah seems to have lost one celebrity follower and gained another.

Last week, Britney Spears posted her first message on her website in over a year suggesting that she has more interest in her growing family these days than her religious studies. Raised as a Baptist, Britney was introduced to the Kabbalah in 2003 by friend Madonna.

In a brief comment, she wrote: “I no longer study Kaballah (sic), my baby is my religion”.

But Keira Knightley seems to have joined the fold. She was recently photographed wearing a red string bracelet which followers believe will protect them from the evil eye.
