Britney Spears, the X-Factor and Islam conversion gossip

Those saying The X Factor is a television music competition franchise created by Britney Spears must think twice to say so. That's the fake news. The X Factor is originated in the United Kingdom, where it was devised as a replacement for Pop Idol and it was created by Simon Cowell.

Talking about Britney, who don't know her? Something that you don't have to question: You really know Britney? But, Britney who?

She is no doubt a famous celebrity, a great singer as well as a stage performer. She cannot be compared to Britney Tampubolon who might be the one coming from somewhere in North Sumatera, Indonesia. This Britney may be a teacher, a salon owner or a fashion designer, etc. And you may skip this fake news: Both Britney Spears and Britney Tampubolon have never seen me and talked about creating a whiteboard animation

Britney spears may skip this annoying gossip. And may agree that those saying The X Factor is a television music competition franchise created by her must be the ones ill-advised. Again, it is fake news! A sort of hoax can spread easily anywhere on the Internet. Another one, for instance this question may drive most people to extremes: is Britney Spears a Muslim?

One thing for sure Britney Spears won't show up in the X Factor as a Muslim ambassador to urge the non-Muslim to debate with her, that's not funny! Here, instead Britney would be looking forward to teaching you English! Whoops, Britney ... who?

Britney Spears converts to Islam?

Britney is now veiled over. She is learning how to recite the Koran and trying not to skip her daily five-time prayer. She doesn't eat pork and says no to alcohol.

She still sings but prefers to do it in the bedroom. Of nightlife she just says, 'it's history."

Britney is also learning how to fast, the real one -- not only to refrain from food and drink but also from anger and sexual desire. Last year she fasted a few days and it's okay for her as done only half day each.

As to going pilgrimage to Mecca, she may not do it in the near future. She is not well prepared mentally. But Britney is longing for this sacred ceremony.

Why has she decided to convert to Islam? First, she got along well quite long with the Muslim community around her neighborhood before and found them as humble, helpful and peaceful people. Second, after a long contemplation, she agrees with the concept of the beyond compare God, the one and only.

So, how about her fans? Will this effect them?

"Fans? What're you talking about?" Britney Lestari, a successful entrepreneur here in Jakarta, gets confused.

Is it like a song, "Too many Britneys will kill you?"

Tony Blair converts to Islam?

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair converts to Islam? This is not hot news, because up to now there's no official announcement about it. But Lauren Booth, his sister in-law has just embraced this religion. And after the conversion, a cynical remark may say, who's next? Prince Charles?

However, Charles belongs to the kingdom, the symbol of nobility of England. If he were to go pilgrimage to Mecca someday, it is a sort of tickling fate. But who knows if the late Michael Jackson might have converted to Islam and as this would also affect his fans, he was secretly murdered? No tickling fate at all!

Is Rowan Atkinson next, to be the one having a prayer rug at home? He may ask Mr. Bean about it, don't you think?

For a sensitive matter, Lauren Booth doesn't have to get "all rights preserved" to be the first to write about Tony Blair's conversion to Islam. And Tony Blair doesn't have to take an ablution before performing a daily five-time prayer--whoops, I mean his daily prayer based on his current faith.

What do you think about it, Robocop?
