I've heard she's actually very intelligent: supposedly she scored a near perfect on her SATs and was going to go to my dream school (Barnard in New York, which I'm still bitter about).

Does this image of someone very intellectual and thoughtful ever come out in person? From her music and partying, it just seems contradictory, so I'm very curious how prominent that is in her personality outside of her image.

I am a Conservative Jew as well and live in a Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn (though I'm leaving in three weeks, B"H)

As a Jew, I apologize for this. This extreme of religious Judaism really can be horrible, just like any other fundamentalist group. When people shut themselves out to any outside influence the way these groups do, they tend to lose touch with reality. Again, I apologize. Truly.
