The Week in Gup-Shup

*In an interview earlier this week, Madonna told Howard Stern she’s interested in reinventing herself yet again. “I want to be like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon – but I want to stay alive,” she said, adding: “we all need to be Jesus in our time.”

*Turns out Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, a graduate of Boston University’s School of Medicine, was illegally supplying Anna Nicole Smith with methadone while Smith was eight months preggers with her daughter. Kapoor’s lawyers have released a statement suggesting he handled things in a “medically sound and appropriate” way.

*And seventeen-year-old Sanjaya Malakar has made it to the semi-finals of American Idol. Malakar, from Washington State, entered the contest with his sister Shymali who used to wait tables at Hooters.
