Brad Pitt’s exgirlfriend Juliette Lewis, attempting to prove that not ALL Scientologists are eccentric. To be fair, we’ve seen and heard her band Juliette and the Licks, and they sound a LOT better than Juliette’s questionable stage attire would indicate…
We hear rumblings that the Scientologists made an offer to Michael Jackson to buy Neverland. Supposedly they wanted to turn it into a lavish celebrity retreat compound. (Hubbardland?) Our source said that Michael Jackson’s family , many of whom are still Jehovah’s Witnesses, were unhappy and didn’t want them to get it. According to this source, a consortium, led by a Beverly Hills businessman, outbid the Scientologists for the property. We’ve heard this “sold” rumor before and aren’t sure WHAT to think. But one thing we KNOW – there won’t be any Scientologists – or anybody else – squealing on the bumper cars or the ferris wheel at Neverland any more. The amusement park rides have been sold to a Japanese company.
In 1997 this talented actress paid her household staff handsomely, but they always wound up walking out in a hurry! The reason: her obsession with a cult! Since her Hollywood friends are few and far between her efforts to recruit new members are directed at her employees. Her maid, cook, and assistants, were her captive audience and she brainwashed them for hours on end to join her group. During one dinner party for fellow cult members the chef walked OUT even before the first course was served – he just couldn’t take her propanganda any longer!
We hear that Suri Cruise is being closely watched by the Scientologists because she COULD turn out to be L Ron Hubbard reincarnated! It brings to mind Rosemary’s Baby, doesn’t it? Anyway, the Scientology bunch has been eagerly awaiting the return of their departed spiritual leader. They believe when a Scientologist dies that they select a baby’s body and take over the soul. When the baby grows up it is drawn to Scientology. They calculate that Hubbard would select a very special child in which to make his return. Tom Cruise and Katie would be ideal parents for an L Ron Hubbard baby. Consequently they are looking for any sign that Suri has a link to Hubbard. Most likely they’ll have to wait until Suri can talk and begins her auditing classes. Who knows? She might start quoting passages from Dianetics.
For those of you who think my reference to Rosemary’s Baby is far �fetched: Here’s a synopsis of the movie from Yahoo:
“A young married couple, trying unsuccessfully to conceive, finally have it happen when the husband strikes a deal with the devil worshippers next door. All of this is unbeknownst to the poor wife/mother who soon realizes she could be having Satan’s child.”
I rest my case!
Last minute buzz: Before the final tally Wednesday night, a rumor swept the American Idol offices and backstage that Katharine McPhee ,or members of her family, have close ties to Scientology. As a result, the Scientologists were expected to organize a massive number of voters to make SURE that Katharine was the winner. Remember, Scientologists helped Tom Cruise tally an impressive first weekend by purchasing large blocks of tickets to his movie MI2. Nobody wanted to see the contest manipulated that way, and the rumor turned out NOT to be true. According to a family friend, Katharine is not and never has been a Scientologist, nor has anyone in her immediate family. So the vote wasn’t tainted and as far as we know, the best singer won fair and square.
