Celebrity Jews from page 48

Ali As Oxide

Reports say that Brit Jewish
comedian Sascha Baron Cohen
(aka Ali G) has been cast as
Chasidic rocker Curly Oxide in an
upcoming film, Curly Oxide and Vic
Thrill, directed by Tina Fey of
Saturday Night Live fame.
The movie is based on the real-
life tale (first
told on NPR's
This American
Life) of a
young
Chasidic guy
named Chaim
who meets up
with a griz-
Sascha Baron
zled rocker
Cohen as All G
named Vic
Thrill in a bar
and for two years becomes a star on
the New York underground punk
rock circuit — until he is forced to
make a choice between being a
Chasid or a rocker (he chooses
Chasid).

MLK Celebration

Rock musician Rick Recht, a star
on the Jewish music circuit, has
joined with the Anti-Defamation
League in a multifaceted campaign
against bigotry titled "Tear Down

tions from members of other faiths,

includes the
Rick Recht
celebration,
on. Jan. 16, of
Martin Luther
King's birthday at the National Civil
Rights Museum in Memphis. This
year the museum will mount a

scripted concert combining music
and spoken word by civil and
human rights activists.
Musical performers include Recht
and choirs representing the Jewish,
African-American, Christian and
other communities.

Edelstein Emergency

Lisa Edelstein, a very attractive
actress, had the bad luck to be in a
number of short-lived series until
she landed in House, the critically
acclaimed FOX network TV show.
She co-stars as Dr. Lisa Cuddy.
Recently, the actress related a
story about her
own medical
emergency
0 ,
while visiting
Israel in 1982.
She was struck
with a mysteri-
ous stomach
ailment while
on a Jewish
teen tour and
was taken to
the nearest medical facility — run
by Israeli Arabs.
The doctors there had no idea
what was wrong with her and start-
ed talking about major surgery.
Edelstein wisely demanded another
opinion and was transported to
Emek Medical Center in Afula,
where she received good treatment.
Lisa shared her room with wounded
soldiers who were returning from
fighting in Lebanon.
Emek staff were pleasantly sur-
prised when they saw the teenager
they had treated playing a doctor on
House, which has just begun airing
in Israel. No doubt, her other Israeli
fans include many of Edeistein's
own Israeli relatives, some of whom
helped found Kibbutz Dalia, near
Haifa. —
