JOHN TRAVOLTA ON SCIENTOLOGY: DON’T ASK DON’T TELL

We can’t help wondering about John Travolta’s current ties to Scientology. At one time John was such a high ranking member that it was said he could get away with murder. John was the most powerful celebrity “church” member until Tom Cruise came along. He’s been a member since 1975 (remember the Battlefield Earth debacle?) but rumors are circulating that he is now distancing himself from the organization. They started after his wife Kelly Preston died of breast cancer in 2020. John praised the medical team that treated his wife, but it’s noteworthy that Scientologists are vehemently AGAINST traditional medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Last year, John sold his big house in Clearwater, Florida, where Scientology headquarters are located, and didn’t look back. (Tom Cruise still has a house there) Nowadays John doesn’t say anything negative about Scientology, nor does he bring up the subject. He certainly does not want to anger the powerful and controlling church – bad things might happen. So if he DOES discreetly slip away from Scientology, we probably won’t know about it…

WHAT DID SCIENTOLOGY HAVE TO DO WITH BEN’S DEATH?

It’s a sad day for Elvis Presley’s family. Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, actress Riley Keough, posted this photo as a tribute to her brother Benjamin on July 12, the day he died by suicide at the age of 27. (two years ago) She wrote: Not an hour goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you. Benjamin looked a LOT like his grandfather Elvis and was even offered a record contract by Universal at the age of 17. Nothing came of it, and he struggled with drugs, alcohol, and depression. (Apparently the subject of higher education never came up in that Scientology family.) Ben actually BLAMED Scientology for many of his problems. He said it “messes you up.” After he died, his devastated mother Lisa Marie and the rest of his family split from Scientology. He was buried at Graceland.

Katie Holmes Scientology Suri Cruise Tom Cruise Top Gun: Maverick

WILL TOM CRUISE EVER SEE HIS DAUGHTER AGAIN?

Tom Cruise is enjoying excellent reviews while promoting his new film Top Gun: Maverick around the world, and he must be feeling successful and happy. His testosterone fueled movie roles always make him look like a heroic figure. (Certainly the Scientologists love that) But what is his 15 year old daughter Suri (Tom’s only biological child) thinking when her father’s photos are all over the internet? Certainly her friends are impressed, but Suri rarely mentions her father and hasn’t seen him in 9 years. All because Suri and her mother Katie Holmes rejected Scientology. In their divorce, Tom got visitation rights but he doesn’t use them- imagine how thrilled Suri would be to attend her father’s movie premier… does she dream about it?

Court Cults Danny Masterson Rape That 70's Show

SCIENTOLOGY GOING TO COURT: IT’S ABOUT TIME!

SO happy to hear that the “Church” of scientology lost an important court battle that they expected to win. The three women who filed rape charges against That 70’s Show star (and longtime scientologist) Danny Masterson, said they were stalked and harassed by the church after they filed the police report. The girls filed suit against the church, accusing it of surveilling them, hacking into their security systems, filming them, threatening to kill their pets (!), setting fires outside their homes, and posting fake sex ads supposedly from the girls, offering free sex to strangers. The church denied everything and insisted they could handle the problem “internally” citing religious arbitration. They almost got their way, but a panel of judges just decided the cases CAN move forward in a court of law! Hopefully, scientology leaders will be dragged into court!

Ben Foster Danny Masterson Laura Prepon Scientology

LAURA PREPON: LEAVING SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT EASY!

It’s a tangled web that Scientology weaves. This week Orange is the New Black actress Laura Prepon stated that she has not been involved in Scientology for the past five years – around the time she started dating her now-husband Ben Foster. She also emphasized that Ben has NEVER been a member of the church. Turns out that Laura was drawn into Scientology in the late 90’s by her That 70’s Show costar (and lifetime Scientologist) Danny Masterson.The “church” no doubt rewarded Danny handsomely for recruiting a celebrity. Laura also dated Danny’s brother Christopher for 8 years. Coincidentally, Ben Foster was Danny’s BFF during the early 2000’s and people assumed HE was a Scientologist also. Ben claims he wasn’t and now whenever Laura talks about leaving the church, she makes it a point to mention that Ben was never a member. Now that Danny Masterson is up on rape charges by several women, and the “church” is accused of a cover-up, celebrity Scientologists are distancing themselves, and we hope some ARE really cutting ties. We continue to theorize that the church helps celebrity members avoid paying taxes on their big incomes by faking and writing off huge church contributions – among other things- and they make it VERY difficult to leave. If only churches paid taxes like everyone else, this would all end!

Katie Holmes Mystery Date Scientology

KATIE HOLMES KNOWS WHAT SHE DOESN’T WANT IN A MAN

Nice to see Katie Holmes out and about again – and with a cute guy! Katie and her restaurant boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr split last Spring after months of showing some very public affection. She seemed quite smitten with him, but friends warned her he was TOO fond of the limelight and truly enjoyed being followed by paparazzi when they were together. Emilio and Jamie Foxx are the ONLY two males that Katie’s been seen with since she split with Tom Cruise in 2012! We’re not sure if this guy in the picture is important to her, but we will bet that he’s NOT a Scientologist!

Joel Osteen Kanye West Non-Profit Tax Exempt

KANYE WEST HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH SCIENTOLOGY

Kanye West, 44, is back in Los Angeles looking happy as a clam- and no wonder. He just returned from a hot weekend with Irina Shayk and his Sunday services have been declared tax exempt. Remember those big invitation-only musical Sunday “services” he used to promote? He even had televangelist Joel Osteen join him for some appearances. (coincidentally or not, many of the people who worked with him on these performances are suing him because they didn’t get paid.) Now Kanye has registered his Sunday services as a non-profit and they are exempt from federal, state, and property taxes, just like SCIENTOLOGY! He calls his 2.2 mil bachelor-pad home in Calabasas church “headquarters” so it’s untaxed also!

"A Streetcar Named Desire" Danny Masterson Leah Remini Rape Scientology Trial

LEAH REMINI WANTS JUSTICE AND SHE WANTS IT NOW!

Former Scientologist Leah Remini is our hero this week. She has been reportedly doing everything she can to see that Danny “That 70’s Show” Masterson goes on trial for three counts of rape – at least that’s what Masterson is claiming. Today Masterson was in court for a pre-trial hearing before a judge to decide if the case will go to court. Scientologist Masterson has hired one of the world’s most expensive lawyers, Tom Mesereau (OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson’s lawyer.) It’s estimated that Michael Jackson paid Mesereau 100 million dollars in his child sex case! Do you suppose the church of Scientology is helping pay for this? If Masterson is found guilty it will be a huge blow to the church – you can read a detailed account of the hearing on Tony Ortega’s blog.

Katie Holmes Scientology Suri Cruise Tom Cruise

SURI CRUISE TURNS 15 WITHOUT HER FATHER

Suri Cruise just had another birthday and every day she looks more and more like her father. The mystery remains: why does Tom “I do my own stunts” Cruise have NO relationship with his only biological child? We all assume it’s because he is not permitted to socialize with non-believers in Scientology. Tom’s ex Katie Holmes did not raise their child in Scientology. But wouldn’t Scientology make an exception for Tom – their most important member? Tom is frequently seen with his adopted kids Connor and Isabella who are still Scientologists. Aren’t they curious about their half-sister? The last time Tom was seen with Suri, she was seven years old. She’s growing up to be a very attractive girl. Suri must be bursting with teenage curiosity about her father – it’ll be interesting if someday she tries to reach out to HIM..

Katie Holmes Scientology Suri Cruise Tom Cruise

SURI CRUISE IS GROWING UP FATHERLESS

Speaking of celebrity kids growing up fast, Suri Cruise, who turns 15 in April, is almost as tall as her 5’9” mother Katie Holmes. That means she is already about two inches taller than her absent father Tom Cruise. According to observers, Tom Cruise has not been in touch with his daughter since 2013. She is Tom’s ONLY biological child and one would think it would be unbearably difficult for him to stay away from her. But His belief in Scientology must be stronger than his paternal impulses and he has not challenged his strict “religion.”
