Madonna’s new Hebrew tattoo might be translated wrong
On Nov. 28, Madonna showed off the final installment in what she called her “trilogy of tattoos” for 2021 on Instagram. The new ink, however, is in Hebrew — and it might not translate to what Madge seems to think it does. It seems the Queen of Pop had the word “Ve’yishakhu” tattooed on her wrist while four of her kids kept their mom company at a tattoo shop. In a clip on her Instagram Story, Madonna tells her daughter the word translates to “kiss” in Hebrew. “Completing the trilogy of tattoos……. I choose to do this year,” the singer wrote in a caption, adding, “Life is a journey to remove the Space between ourselves and humanity.” But according to the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, the Hebrew word for “kiss” is “neshika,” while the word Madonna picked — “Ve’yishakhu” — comes from a verse in Genesis that is usually “interpreted as indicating that Esau’s heart was not behind the kiss he bestowed on his brother,” Jacob, and is apparently used in a negative sense.

Bradley Cooper details terrifying subway holdup
In a new interview with his pal, Dax Shepard, and Dax’s “Armchair Expert” co-host, Monica Padman, Bradley Cooper revealed he was “held up at knifepoint” on the New York City subway before the pandemic. The “Nightmare Alley” star, 46, said he was heading to pick up Lea, the 4-year-old daughter he shares with his (rumored on-again) ex, Irina Shayk, while wearing headphones when he found himself face-to-face with a man whose three-inch long knife was pointed right at him. “I was on the subway … to pick [up] Lea downtown at Russian school and I got held up at knifepoint,” Bradley recalled. “It was pretty insane. I realized I had gotten way, way too comfortable in the city. My guard was down … I was all the way at the end of the subway.” When he “felt somebody coming up” to him, Bradley said, he figured, “Oh they want to take a photo or something.” But when he turned around, he saw they had a knife. “I look up, I see the person’s eyes, and I’m taken by how young they are,” he continued. “I just started booking, just started running. I jumped over the turnstile, hid around the white, tiled entrance to the subway [and] took my phone out.” As the man ran away, Bradley said he took pictures of him and chased him, snapping photos until he found two police officers to show the pics to. “The [cop] kept saying … ‘Are you stabbed?'” Bradley recalled. “I was like, ‘No, no.’ He was like, ‘Check to see if you’re stabbed. What happens is people get stabbed and they’re in shock.'” Bradley checked — he was OK– “and then I got back on the subway and picked up my daughter,” he said.
