A few months ago, Madonna's pal let it slip that the Material Girlfriend spends $10,000 each month for water blessed by Kabbalah rabbis. Other celebrities--namely Jeff Goldblum, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Naomi Campbell and Liz Taylor--reportedly share Madonna's appreciation, if not her line-item budget, for the stuff.

When it comes to devotion for premium water, however, that's just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, Berg, a bottled water company in Newfoundland, Canada, harvests the Arctic's natural product of the Ice Age. Michael Mascha, author of Fine Waters and founder of the FineWaters web site, refreezes iceberg water into cubes and uses it to mix martinis. "If you use a very expensive vodka," he says, "then you should also pay attention to the water."

Berg is one of the top 10 exclusive bottled waters named by anthropologist-turned-water-expert Michael Mascha-- who, incidentally, declines to comment on Madonna's drink of choice. "I'm talking about water in the epicurean sense," he says.

There is no such thing as a vodka martini. I don't care how expensive the ice cubes are, they don't turn the vodka into gin.

Bling H2O and water blessed by Kabbalah Rabbis. It's always good to know that with great wealth comes no accompanying increase in intelligence

Yup turn it around and you have televangelists touting 'holy water' that you can get for a generous donation to their ministry.

Whassa matter Madonna that water in your tap that London water works brings to you ain't good enough huh?

Why do celebs with their so called concern for the planet do this kinda crap, Madonna think of the carbon footprint used to bring it to you, oh I forgot the polar glaciers are now melting faster because of it, so it either will be extinct or their will be more melting water to bottle lowering the price and exclusivity of the product and it'll be sold in Wal-Mart or the 99 cent store like your Sex book.

No, Republicans prefer to drink the blood of dead soldiers.

haha - the article says the expert couldn't tell them apart in a blind taste test. "The difference is subtle!"
If it's so subtle, the idea of having "water pairings" for foods is a laugh.
