I can't believe Vanity Fair put this out there. I am really enjoying it all.

It is SO fascinating that Vanity Fair did this article. I'm delighted they've stopped kissing his ass.

Me too. The whole thing is so bizarre. It's hard for me to imagine the appeal of Scientology to anyone.

The Village Voice has a blog "Running Scared" that has tons of intense articles about Scientology-I've been absolutely fascinated the last month or so reading about all of it.

I've always wondered what happened to Penelope Cruz.

[ElizabethBennet]

This is all so fascinating to me. We know some Scientologists that are fairly high up and the stories we hear second hand from their siblings amaze me.

[dcannie]

i for real chuckled at, "...since Tom Cruise is very much alive - biologically..."

my "inside scientology" book is on my to-read kindle list, but i might have to bump it up so i can read it next. i'm so fascinated by all of this.

Is it wrong of me to think how awesome it would be to toss away a potential partner because they don't stroke your ego enough?

"What? My cupcakes are only good? Not great? Or amazing? Not the best thing you've ever eaten" ::turns to handlers:: "Take him away."

My old boss lost a BIL to Scientology - apparently his sister or SIL went to hell and back to get her kids out of it and away from him. And it was a very lengthy and difficult battle.

Crazy.

I'm buying this issue, FOR REAL!!!

Someone needs to find out how Pene Cruz ran afoul of Scientology without finding out more stories of what a douche her hot husband is. I don't need my heart broken any further by that delicious, delicious man.

[cahabalily]

What LHC said. And I'll absolutely be buying this issue.

WAIT, Javier Bardem is a douche? /heartbroken

i will just pretend i didn't read any of this.

stop spreading lies, habs!

My uncles brother got into scientology. He called his mom and said he was in trouble and needed 10K she got a second mortgage and gave it to him. She then found out what it was for.

H's grandmother got into it for a bit but quit quickly because she figured out they just wanted money.

Cant wait to buy this magazine. I don't even care if Katie doesn't have an interview. I want to buy it to support them for actually doing the article.

[textbookcase]

Awesome, thanks for the link

[karmasabiotch]

I'm going to buy it too. I would love if someone who has staus went rouge and broke open all the secrets.

What is the book? I want to get it I am fascinated by the Scientology stuff.

I have not bought a magazine in a couple of years, but will totally be buying this one.

I know people who have been blackballed by the scientologists. I absolutely believe they are every bit as nuts as the article suggests. Can't wait to read the whole thing.

what exactly does this entail, for a non-celebrity? shunned by business associates/clients? harassment?

[julez]

when does this deliciousness hit newsstands? (I can't dig around too much on the VF website at work.)

The people I know are D list celebrities, a minor musician and two potential writers. And it's hollywood, so basically, it means you can't book a gig, can't get hired for a job in your industry, etc. I mean, I'm sure these people could still get hired at Starbucks, but not in the creative industries.

The musician swears the scientologists are camped out outside his house watching him and record his phone calls. I don't actually believe that, but I do believe they blackballed him. He had a reasonably succesful career before he pissed off someone in scientology and now he is completley out.

Ok, I will DD this because I don't want it hanging out there forever. I have intentionally left it very vague.
