Demi Moore, Britney Spears, Madonna, Erwin Schrott.
It's not the setup for a grody joke about a dream gangbang for skanky washed-up celebrities, but a sad possibility: are they all Kabbalah celebrity fans, the 4 of them?
Over at our big sister La Cieca 's there's a nice debate about how awesome Erwin Schrott is (well, about how awesome his abs are -- OC's take is that they're awesome but she still has a weakness for Teddy Tahu Rhodes's steel washboard abz -- maybe we could set up a barechested performance of whatever opera you want and have them fight each other with their abs as lethal weapons).
But the picture above, from a 2006 performance of La Damnation de Faust in Rome, Antonio Pappano conducting the hawtness of Schrott and Jonas Kaufmann, Vasselina Kasarova staring gloomily at all that male beefy hawtness obliterating her from the stage, seems to indicate that, isn't that a Kabbalah bracelet around Schrott's manly big thick wrist?
*****update*****
A source very close to Ervino illuminates us by assuring Opera Chic that this is not a Kabbalah bracelet but a regular red non-Kabbalah thingie.
We're grateful for the info, and please send more Erwin ab photos.
I'm guessing no. Kabbalah bracelets are usually stringier (like http://tinyurl.com/2xnj9l). That looks more like one of the ubiquitous (at least in the states) knockoffs of the Livestrong bracelets (like these http://tinyurl.com/ypd46p) and could be supporting just about any damn thing.

Nevermind the damn bracelet... Let's concentrate on the IMPORTANT things; Is Kaufman tucking his to the left while Schrott to the right? ( I really can't and don't wanna know about pappano...) ;)

I think Pappano's cute

Hey, nonothing , don't slag our beloved Pappano - he's a darling! :)

Definitely NOT a Kabbalah bracelet!

Never mind the Kabbalah bracelet. I've just come back from Don Giovanni at the Royal Opera and he was buffed and broad. I've seen Bryn Terfel and Simon Keenleyside taking their shirts off in this production, and I've to say Erwin looks most convincing!

Erwin Schrott and Anna Netrebko are a couple now!
She is pregnant by him!!! It is said she got pregnant during the first scene in DON GIOVANNI in London...(Donna Anna-Don Giovanni).
I hope she will not change her name in
Anna Netrebko-Schrott - that means in German language
Netrebko-Bulls^+t
So is life!
