ROUNDUP
8 MY WAY, OR ELSE
MADONNA ditched her pal Debi Mazar when Mazar expressed doubts about kabbalah, and now the Material Mom is cutting off family members who won't follow her spiritual path. Foxnews.com reports Madonna no longer lends a helping hand to brother Christopher Ciccone, who worked for her Maverick Label for years.

8 PETRA BACK ON FEET
TSUNAMI-scarred supermodel Petra Nemcova is learning how to walk again. The Czech catwalk queen has been undergoing rehabilitation therapy at her grandfather's mountain chalet in the town of Karvinia. Yellow Fever designer Jamison Ernest, who says he speaks to Nemcova everyday, tells us that she's steadily improving. "She can't fly for three months because of her injuries, but she is very positive," he says. "She plans to continue modeling, but not at the pace she was doing it before. Every day for her is a struggle." Nemcova broke her pelvis and suffered internal injuries in the tsunami that struck Thailand and swept away her photographer boyfriend, Simon Atlee. She has turned down numerous interview requests, including those from Larry King, Diane Sawyer, Matt Lauer, Barbara Walters, Us Weekly and all the British tabs, which offered her hefty paychecks for an exclusive. "She just doesn't feel mentally capable to do an interview right now," Ernest says. "She doesn't want to relive losing the person she loved."
