TOM CRUISE RANT WAS SCIENTOLOGY INSPIRED

Former Scientologists were shocked to hear Tom Cruise’s dramatic setside Mission Impossible tirade because they say he sounded JUST LIKE (Scientology leader) David Miscavige! One revealed that the rant “was pure church-speak” and closely resembled Miscavige’s abusive tirades. It was as if Cruise was on a “power high” – like a general drilling his army. Former Scientologists agree: this is typical behavior for the higher-ups in the “church.” Classic Scientology mind-control: listen and comply. It had less to do with Covid than showing off his own tyrannical power. Coincidentally or not, the mission of Scientology is believed to be more important than the individuals in it. Public humiliation, threats, and expletives from a person in power is not the sensible way to get people to cooperate and it shows a lack of compassion. But Scientology leaders disagree.

DANNY MASTERSON IS PULLING THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTO COURT WITH HIM

THIS is going to be a very interesting – and revealing – trial! We’re SO happy to hear that the Danny Masterson rape case will proceed. The female judge rejected defense claims that the case should be tossed under the Statute of Limitations. You may recall, three women, who were Scientologists at the time, charged That 70’s Show star Masterson with forcible rape at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001-2003. Back then, they reported the crime to the church, and were warned NOT to notify police. These girls did not know about each other until 2016 during #MeToo. That’s when they banded together to press charges against Danny, the lifetime Scientologist. (He’s out on 3.3 million bail.) The girls were mercilessly harassed, intimidated, and stalked by the church and they feared the case would never come to fruition. Finally it will, and we will learn a LOT more about Scientology in the process!

THANDIE NEWTON: WORKING WITH TOM CRUISE CAN BE A MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

We are almost as delighted as Leah Remini was to hear the remarks that Thandie Newton made about Tom Cruise when they filmed Mission Impossible II back in 2000. Tom Cruise’s costars rarely say a WORD about him because he is a powerful figure in Hollywood AND a Scientology ambassador. Thandie’s comments were not actually BAD – but you can read between the lines. She described Tom as extremely dominant – he feels that only HE knows how to do everything best. It’s HIS way or the highway. Most important, she said he “tries superhard to be a NICE person.” Apparently it’s a huge effort. Scientology demands that their celebrities APPEAR to be friendly and likeable – especially when they’re handing out Scientology literature! If Tom was so controlling 20 years ago, what’s he like NOW?

ELVIS’S GRANDSON WAS CURSED WITH MORE THAN HIS LOOKS AND ADDICTIONS

It seems that Scientology probably had a lot to do with Benjamin Keough’s recent suicide. The 27 year old was raised in the church until his mother Lisa Marie left in 2014 and some say he paid the ultimate price for that involvement. The church does not recognize mental health issues or treatment – the kind of problems that run in his family. Ben was recently in rehab for alcohol and drugs and had a group of friends over to his mother’s luxurious Calabasas house the night he died. (Lisa Marie was not there.) At 3:30 AM there were screams and Ben’s girlfriend Diana Pinto (above) was heard pleading with him NOT to do it. Police reported that he died from a gunshot wound to the upper torso.

PLAYING GLORIA STEINEM DID NOT INSPIRE SCIENTOLOGIST KIRSTIE ALLEY

Until we were reminded by a Hollywood Reporter Flashback, we had TOTALLY forgotten that Kirstie Alley (of all people) portrayed Gloria Steinem on film LONG before Rose Byrne played Gloria in Mrs America! (This was before Cheers) It was a 1985 TV movie called A Bunny’s Tale that documented the story of Gloria as a young journalist in 1963, going undercover and working as a Playboy Bunny for 11 days. Certainly the experience inspired Gloria’s future as a vigorous feminist. Scientologist Kirstie seems to have no history of supporting women’s rights – in fact she has had Twitter clashes with women’s rights activists. But she DOES support Scientology.

Above, Kirstie in the middle – looking glam!

EVEN SCIENTOLOGY COULDN’T SAVE DANNY MASTERSON

Celebrity Scientologists will NOT be happy to hear that their powerful and dubious religion was NOT able to protect one of their own from being accused of raping three women! That 70’s Show star Danny Masterson was FINALLY charged with rape, and his bond set at 3.3 million. (He bonded out in 3 hours) The crimes occurred between 2001 and 2003, but the women, who were Scientologists then, endured horrific pressure from the church NOT to make a police report. (They “protect” their celebrity members.) When the girls found out about each other, and #MeToo appeared, they worked up the courage to come forward in 2017. They endured years of threats and frightening situations before Masterson was charged at last with three counts of rape. THIS will be a fascinating trial…

SCIENTOLOGISTS AND DONALD TRUMP BOTH HATE NEWSPAPERS!

Social isolation stinks – but things could be WORSE – you could live where John Travolta calls home – Clearwater, Florida! Beautiful beaches notwithstanding, the city is gradually being taken over by Scientologists, and the population doesn’t know WHAT to do! Over the years, the secretive “church” has bought huge chunks of property and buildings – especially downtown (using fake names) – and it’s almost all TAX EXEMPT- so the city is losing a lot of money. Clearwater residents complain about groups of dressed-alike people marching around in lines like zombies, and a downtown that is NOT flourishing like nearby cities. The police department has been wined and dined by Scientology (as is their habit) and the public no longer trusts THEM. We love this old photo from 1979 with Scientologists in ill-conceived Nazi uniforms protesting negative coverage in the Clearwater Sun. Certainly this photo gave Clearwater locals the creeps! Another reason to support your local newspaper!

TOM CRUISE HAS PLANS FOR ELON MUSK

Scientology leader David Miscavige must be THRILLED to learn that his favorite “church” member Tom Cruise is combining forces with Elon Musk and NASA to make a movie in space. Certainly Tom will work favorable mentions of Scientology into his discussions with Musk. Tom has been known to enthusiastically recruit church members on his movie sets and he will certainly give it a try with Musk. Luring Elon Musk into the church would be the ultimate accomplishment for Cruise, who reportedly has a staff of low ranking Scientology members working for him around the clock without pay. Ironically, Elon Musk has been compared to L Ron Hubbard in the past for their mutual dislike of paying taxes…

LIKE MANY CELEBRITIES, GIOVANNI RIBISI IS SUDDENLY A SUPERMARKET REGULAR

According to paparazzi, Giovanni Ribisi, 45, has been shopping at his neighborhood market in Los Feliz almost every day. The fact that he and his partner Emily Ward (she’s an interior designer) have two year old twins at home might explain why – but the store also HAPPENS to be located across the street from the Scientology Celebrity Center. Giovanni and his twin sister Marissa are second generation Scientologists and we wonder if HIS twins, Enzo and Maude, are THIRD generation. Giovanni’s older daughter Lucia from his first marriage has drifted away from Scientology, and there is no evidence that Emily Ward is or is not a Scientologist. We loved Giovanni on Friends (he played Phoebe’s goofy brother) and wish he’d quit Scientology- but we know it isn’t easy…

SURI CRUISE IS NOW A DEAD RINGER FOR HER DAD TOM CRUISE !

Growing up, Suri Cruise looked a lot like her cute mom Katie Holmes, BUT the 13 year old is gradually morphing into a duplicate of her father Tom Cruise! Look at that face! Remember, Tom hasn’t seen Suri since 2013 – one year after Katie filed for divorce. It’s assumed that Tom gave Katie got full custody of their child in exchange for her never speaking out about Scientology. And she hasn’t. But we wonder how Tom can see these photos of his lookalike daughter and not feel torn up inside about not having a relationship with her.
