Oy vey!
Trouble abounds in Borat-ville!
Sacha Baron Cohen was supposed to get hitched to baby mama Isla Fisher this summer, but that’ll have to be postponed, because Isla’s been slacking on all the studying she needs to do to convert to Judaism. She’s doing it “part-time,” apparently, but her “full-time” job is filming Confessions of a Shopaholic.
It doesn’t seem like Sacha’s too concerned about this, but you know who is? HIS JEWISH MOTHER. Oh, yes.
Says a source: “Isla was supposed to spend her time after giving birth hard at work on her Torah studies, and that’s gone far slower than expected. It’s very much frustrated her future in-laws, especially Sacha’s parents, who were really hoping for a wedding this summer … Right now there’s no wedding date set because Isla hasn’t fully converted yet, and even though she’s working at it part-time, she’s far from being close to completing her studies.”
I guess Isla just wrapped filming on Confessions, and now her soon-to-be in-laws are expecting her to hunker down with the Torah hardcore.
Continues the source: “Sacha is not as worried about the relationship between his parents and Isla as everyone else is because he’s extremely devoted to her and their child. He also believes that putting too much pressure on Isla is only going to make the wedding happen later rather than sooner. He is happy taking his time to get married the same way he was happy having a long engagement. But in the meantime Isla’s had to endure a lot of awkward moments with Sacha’s mother, who just doesn’t seem to understand her future daughter-in-law’s drive to become a big star.”
Ugh. I had to go to Hebrew school (in addition to regular school!) for YEARS when I was a kid so that I could become a full-fledged Jew and then spend the majority of my adulthood attempting to explain to my mother that, yes, Judaism is nice and all, but Jewish men are skinny, short and/or nerdy and I don’t want to go out with them, Mom, even if you are going to pay for the JDate subscription, and yes, Mom, I know there are lots of nice Jewish boys in Los Angeles and maybe if I went to temple more often I’d meet some of them but, see, let me reiterate, Mom, that I don’t really want to date a Jewish guy. Sigh. I kind of represent the reason that old Jews are sad about my generation of Jews. Mainly, we want to date anyone other than our fellow Jews. All that Hebrew-learning, wasted. If I could just hand it over to you, Isla, I would.
Heh.
