Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Jennifer Lopez’s family is reportedly worried about the star’s newfound friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes because of the pair’s involvement with Scientology. Though Lopez has been pals with Scientologist Leah Remini for years, now that she has become friendly with Tom and Katie, she seems even more interested in the mysterious religion. Jennifer’s curiosity about Scientology is believed to be the reason that she and her husband Marc Anthony were invited to Tom and Katie’s ultra-exclusive Italian wedding last month. Jennifer’s family is very suspicious about the faith. Jennifer, who’s been a Catholic since birth, was told in no uncertain terms by her mother Lupe and other family members that exploring Scientology could backfire on her. They fear Scientology could damage her reputation," a source was quoted by the Bosh, as saying. The Lopez family is particularly skeptical about Jennifer’s involvement in Scientology because they believe that the group may be using her. The insider said, "Her mom told her that the Church of Scientology would love to have her as a member because they could use the publicity to recruit new followers."

Can you blame them? I mean what they are saying is so true because Scientology has recruited a good name since Kabbalah become the in thing in Hollywood! 

Victoria Beckham has begged friend Tom Cruise to help Mel B get through her messy break-up from Eddie Murphy. Victoria – who has remained close to her former Spice Girls bandmate – was appalled to hear Eddie questioning the paternity of Mel’s unborn child. The 32-year-old star has now apparently turned to the ‘Top Gun’ actor – who is friends with Eddie – to try and make the ‘Dr Dolittle’ star see sense. A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: "Mel has told Victoria about Eddie’s comments on the phone. So Victoria mentioned Mel B’s situation to Tom, who is pals with Eddie. It seems Tom may now have a gentle word with him about backing off." As well as Tom, Victoria – who is married to soccer superstar David Beckham – wants more of her high-profile friends to rally round Mel B. The source added: "It’s highly likely that all Victoria’s American allies will be on Mel’s side. Jennifer Lopez, who is becoming a good pal of Victoria’s, knows how it works in Hollywood and is all for a bit of ‘Girl Power’."

I am not sure I believe this because who saw Eddie Murphy at either TomKat wedding party? But then again they do share the same publicist? And obviously Posh Spice does not follow American press because being linked to TomFat is a bad thing!

Despite a downpour of rain, the stars showed up in spades on Dec. 9 for the stateside celebration of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ wedding. Those unable to make it to the couple’s Italian nuptials on Nov. 18 were treated to an A-list affair at the Hollywood home of Tom’s producing partner, Paula Wagner. But noticeably absent once again was a certain couch-owning billionaire — Oprah Winfrey. Why exactly is it that Tom, who infamously — and enthusiastically — proclaimed his love for Katie on The Oprah Winfrey Show, cut the talk-show queen from the invite list for a second time? “Tom’s always been angry that Oprah gave so many outlets permission to air and re-air his couch-jumping stunt, because it got blown out of proportion,” an insider tells Life & Style. “He wouldn’t have minded if the moments preceding and following the jump got the same play as the actual act. The funny thing about Tom is that he still insists he didn’t do anything wrong on that show and that it was all innocent fun.” As innocent as his failure to invite Oprah?

I would say he needs to get over it, but I doubt we ever wiil! 

A LOT of people were scratching their heads when they saw Jennifer Lopez and Jim Carrey among the guests at Tom Cruise’s wedding to Katie Holmes last month in Italy, wondering what the possible connection could be. Some assumed it was the super-agency CAA, which reps both Cruise and Carrey and used to handle J.Lo. But insiders say the mystery link among the superstars is actually the Church of Scientology. "Jim is taking the introductory and beginner’s courses right now," a source told Page Six. Another source notes that Lopez, a close friend of Scientologist Leah Remini, "has started using Scientology phrases and explains the church to people. Leah and Jennifer have been friends for years, and Leah has always talked to her about the church without pressuring her. "We can see Scientology appealing to Jennifer because, in the early stages, it is a lot of self-help." However, Lopez’s husband, Marc Anthony, is a devout Catholic and is probably resistant to Scientology, which believes in space aliens but not a God. Some observers speculate that Lopez, who has had trouble conceiving in the past, could be leaning to the Scientologists for help in having a baby. Reps for Lopez said, "I have no knowledge of this, but I probably wouldn’t have a comment on it if I did." A mouthpiece for Carrey insisted, "He is not taking classes." Meanwhile, Hollywood bigwigs were awed at a display of "sheer rudeness" by Cruise at the premiere of "The Pursuit of Happyness" in Hollywood the other night. Sony chief Amy Pascal "was introducing the movie, and during her speech Tom gets up, goes over to Will [Smith] and starts talking to him – and then says, ‘Hey, Katie! Come over here and say hi to Will!’ during Amy’s speech. It was in bad taste." A rep for Cruise declined comment. Scientology seems to be drawing more and more celebrity interest by the minute. Other noted church followers include Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, Anne Archer, Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes and Priscilla Presley.
