MADONNA is rumored to be looking to invest in some prime Israeli real estate:
Old shack will give Madonna front-row seat for arrival of her Messiah
From Ian MacKinnon, in Jerusalem (The Times of London)

MADONNA is trying to buy a house overlooking the Sea of Galilee at the place where followers of her Kabbalist faith expect the Messiah to reappear to herald world peace.

Representatives of the 47-year-old US singer have been cold calling home-owners in the picturesque mountain retreat of Rosh Pina and offering to pay any price to secure a property on her behalf.

The story seems to have originated in the Hebrew publication Yedioth Ahronoth. Another article reports that:
Yedioth Ahronoth said that the owner of a 100-year-old, ramshackle five-bedroom villa overlooking the Sea of the Galilee had been recently contacted several times by representatives of the superstar with a view to selling his property.

According to the same source, Madonna wants to renovate the building into a center of study of mystical Jewish texts pored over by Kabbalah followers.

If the rumor is true, I imagine this will be good for tourism.
