Liz strikes back on today’s New York Post

Liz Rosenberg, Madonna’s spokerperson, talks about the recent rants by Boy George on Richard Johnson‘s “Page Six” column on today’s New York Post.

Madonna is firing back at Boy George after the ’80s pop star blasted her for cynically bilking her gay fans.

George says Madonna’s devotion to Kabbalah is the ultimate act of hypocrisy. “It’s ironic that she’s joined an organization that says homosexuality is a disease that can be cured and no one picks her up on it,” George told the London Times. “After making all those millions of dollars out of gay people, pretending to kiss girls, pretending to be a lesbian! I think she’s cynical.”

But Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, says George is the one being cynical. “There’s not enough room on Page Six to respond to Boy George’s ridiculous accusations,” she told our Jared Paul Stern, “much less list Madonna’s long-standing passion, love, commitment and devotion to the gay community which has not changed for 20 years.”

Rosenberg insists Kabbalah does “not discriminate against homosexuals, nor do they work toward changing anyone’s sexual preference. I wish Boy George would go back to writing songs… Does he ever have anything nice to say about anyone?”

Actually, no. George also attacks his former friend Rosie O’Donnell in the interview, a promotion for his memoir “Straight,” just released in England. He blasts O’Donnell for ruining “Taboo,” the much-maligned 2003 Broadway musical in which he starred and which she produced. George says Rosie was too domineering and neutered the show because she’s not gay enough.
