Madonna’s relationship with 22-year-old model Jesus Luz is creepy at best. An ex-girlfriend of Luz just pointed out to the New York Post that Madge is the same age as his grandmother. Apparently Luz is so under her spell that his family thinks he’s being held captive by her. And while that would normally sound paranoid and insane, when we’re talking about Madonna, nothing is completely off the table.

The Material Girl is the same age as her new Brazilian lover’s grandmother, an ex-girlfriend says. Jesus Pinto da Luz, the 22-year-old blue- eyed model Madonna met on a photo shoot, has a granny who is about 50. Madonna turns 51 in August.

The hunk’s mortified mom, Cristiane Regina da Silva – who is 14 years younger than Madonna – believes the pop diva has kidnapped her son, snatching him away to a New York love nest and controlling his every move.

Madonna and Jesus spent the Christmas holiday in the Maldives, where her public-relations people confiscated his cellphone, accord ing to the Brazilian media.

His mom said she received only a cryptic text message from Jesus wishing his loved ones a Merry Christmas and telling them he wouldn’t be visiting for the holidays.

The hunk, who has left a trail of ex-girlfriends, had lived at home with his mother, a hairdresser, and his dad. Both parents are devout Evangelical Christians who sent Jesus to a private university prep school, where young women tailed him in the hallways to get his autograph “because his blue eyes were irresistible,” said a recent report in O Dia newspaper.

Boy, I bet those Evangelical Christian parents of his aren’t too happy about Jesus declaring he’s converting to Kabbalah. Yesterday I saw a man on the subway wearing the Kabbalah red string bracelet and I got all excited. I’ve never actually seen anyone wear one in real life. But the subway man struck me as an actual believer -and probably wasn’t dating Madonna, since he was near her age. Not that I’d put anything past her.

I’m guessing Madonna isn’t technically holding Jesus hostage or anything, but it does sound like she’s isolating him. As a notorious control freak, that’s not surprising, though it’s still concerning. Madge seems like she does a decent job of brainwashing people – really, she’s an entire cult rolled into one person. I don’t blame Jesus’ family for being worried. If this situation were reversed and an older man were isolating a 22-year-old woman, confiscating her cell phone, and indoctrinating her into a cult, people would be up in arms. Just because it’s Madonna doesn’t mean it’s less scary. And being up in her arms is frightening in and of itself.
