Over the past several months, the faith of some female celebrities in the secular music scene has become more of an issue for their friends, family, and the media.
The most recent example: a car accident in Beverly Hills, Calif., involving actress/singer Lindsay Lohan that led to her arrest on charges of driving under the influence with possible cocaine on the scene.Her estranged father, Michael Lohan, responded to the incident with a plea towards God.
"When Lindsay puts God back in her life, things will turn around," he explained in an interview with the Ledger. "Until then, I'll just keep praying."
Incidences involving several other pop celebrities have also raised questions for many over whether or not they are still a Christian.
In most cases, the problem is not a complete absence in belief in God. However, while most celebrities appear to keep their faith - on a more personal and private level - they are also taking on the values of the pop culture that surrounds them.
The result is a muddled belief that borders on the faith but may not be completely be characterised as Christian.
Pop princess Britney Spears, for example, has littered the tabloids throughout this year - mostly in a negative way. She has had to deal with a second divorce, constant media slander, and even checked into a clinic to try to get her bearings straight.
But in the beginning, Spears entered the music scene as a relatively devout Christian. She was raised as a Southern Baptist in her home state of Mississippi, part of the Bible Belt, and began her fame with that as a foundation.
