You can go ahead and scratch that question mark, assuming that these recent reports are true. There’s no way to be sure, but I believe it, because there are a lot of crazy people in the world, and it makes sense that a surprisingly high proportion of celebrities would be crazy. These are people who enjoy being famous, after all.

Madonna has established a pretty good reputation for herself, and a lot of it hinges on her being, well, unhinged. She practices Kabbalah, a religion that seems to attract solely unhinged celebrities (it’s the next Scientology!) and every few months a few disturbing fact surfaces. This is the latest, and it’s really, really…unhinged.

Since Madonna and Guy Ritchie separated, he hasn’t had a chance to see their sons. Madonna finally allowed the boys to visit him in London last month, and according to The Daily Mail, she sent along with them a list of strict rules by which they were to abide.

This list is like something out of a movie. You know, the kinds of rules that the little girl’s mother in The Miracle on 34th St. remake might come up with for her, if the mother was insane.

Some choice excerpts:

Under no circumstances should they read newspapers, magazines, or be allowed to watch TV or DVDs.

All water they drink, even when it is to dilute organic juice, should be Kabbalah water (mountain spring water blessed by the leaders of the Kabbalah religion she follows).

Their hands should be regularly cleaned with disinfectant spray if they are in public places.

That last one sounds like a recipe for raising germophobic, immune-compromised neurotics. But while endangering your kids’ health is particularly egregious, screwing around with their emotional health is just as damaging.

Hey parents – don’t project your own crap onto your kids. Please.

That goes for you too, Madonna.
