So we get Newt, and now lose Lindsay. I’m still trying to weigh the merits of the swap. Here’s the story via The Daily Mail:

Lindsay Lohan is converting to Judaism in a bid to prove her devotion to Jewish girlfriend Samantha Ronson.

Although raised a Catholic, the 22-year-old star announced she was planning to change her faith on her Facebook page.

After jetting into London last week, Lindsay joined girlfriend Samantha at the Bar Mitzvah of the DJ’s half-brother Joshua Ronson at the Westminster Synagogue on Saturday.

Her estranged father Michael Lohan rediscovered his relationship with God during a period in jail and now works as a minister.

Michael said: ‘She’s exploring Judaism right now. She’s explored the Church of Scientology, she tried Kabbalah, and now this.

‘I think it’s just another phase. But either way, she’s involving God in her life, and I’m happy about that.’

All yours, my elder brothers in the faith.
