 We'd like a slice, please: Have you seen those promos for the latest installment in the American Pie series? If so, you noticed a Britney look-alike in a dominatrix outfit. Turns out she's a member of the tribe. Nikki Schieler Ziering, who appeared in the buff in the July issue of Playboy, says "people are shocked to discover I'm Jewish ... I fell in love with Judaism because it's all about family values and having good morals. It's something I made a commitment to and that I take seriously." That "commitment" was made in 1997 when she converted to Judaism to marry Beverly Hills 90210 hunk Ian Ziering. She told the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles that despite her 2001 divorce, she still practices her faith and enjoys the minor details of Judaism. "I love how you cover the challah when you say the blessing over the wine because you don't want to 'hurt its feelings.' That's such a great way to teach children compassion; it's just such a sweet thing." Oh, how sweet it is.
