It looks like Kirstie Alley’s protests that Scientology is NOT involved in her weight loss system are going unheeded. Too many clues point to Scientology getting into the weight loss/ herbal supplements business. And why not? They’ve got Kirstie Alley to sell the system (IF she manages to lose weight on it) and her new TV series to continuously promote Organic Liaison (which already sounds like a Scientology name.) Also, please remember that Scientologists are encouraged to LIE about anything unpleasant related to the church. L Ron Hubbard would be proud.

Kirstie Alley’s new TV reality series “Kirstie Alley’s Big Life” on A&E, has been described as an “infomercial for Scientology” and we heartily agree. Personally we are fans of Kirstie as an actress and a personality, but our admiration is marred by her devotion to Scientology. Along with her show, Kirstie has hatched a weight loss system that she brazenly promoted on Oprah the other day. The system called ”Organic Liaison” consists of eating plans and powder mixtures to suppress appetite. It costs $139 to start with the “Rescue Kit” plus annual membership of $89 and many extras. The company is run by Scientologists near their Clearwater, Florida headquarters. Kirstie has put Scientology into the weight loss business! We’d rather give our money to Jenny Craig.

Haitians beware! According to the Huffington Post, John Travolta and his wife Kelly just flew a planeload of food and medical supplies from Florida to the desperate earthquake victims, but there’s a price to pay. The people handing out the food and necessities will be Scientology “ministers” – that translates to “recruiters.” Hungry Haitians will have to endure lectures and “personality tests” before they can benefit from the relief supplies. With Scientology, there are always strings attached.

It’s funny how celebrities filming reality shows show up at places they never go to when the cameras aren’t around. Kirstie Alley is not exactly a regular at Katsuya (perhaps because people like to watch everything she eats) but she turned up there with her two kids Lillie, 15, and William, 17, with cameras hot on their trail. She’s right in the middle of filming her A&E reality series documenting her career, family life, and diet struggle. It’s not like she’s hard up for money – did you know Kirstie gave 5 million dollars to the church of Scientology in 2007?

Juliette Lewis is smart – she knows how to travel and increase the odds of her luggage arriving intact. She carries mismatched, beat-up bags – no designer labels here. The expensive looking luggage is the first to disappear or be ransacked. Juliette, who wants to be a rockstar more than anything, just released a solo album WITHOUT her band The Licks, called Terra Incognita, and she’s busy promoting it.

We couldn’t WAIT for the new L.A.Bizarro book to arrive in the mail. It’s a guide, researched by Matt Maranian and Anthony Lovett, to the strangest places and elements of Los Angeles. Our favorite chapter is all about the free Scientology museum called “Psychiatry: An Industry of Death” located on Sunset Blvd. The book says that “fresh-faced volunteers who look and act exactly like human beings” guide visitors through the museum’s interactive displays of medieval torture, Victorian cruelty, modern atrocities, and lobotomies. The museum portrays psychiatrists as murderous sex-addicted quacks who are part of a global conspiracy. Psychiatry is blamed for the Nazi Holocaust, Islamic terrorism, 9/11, and school shootings. Warning: at the end of the tour, visitors are pressured to fill our surveys and reveal personal information. L.A. Bizarro prepares you for everything. Anybody who loves Los Angeles like we do, should own this book.

We almost didn’t recognize his cute young guy without his famous father. It’s Connor Cruise, 14, and he’s growing up to be quite handsome. He’s already an actor – he’s appeared in “Australia” with his mother Nicole Kidman, and “Seven Pounds” with his dad’s good friend Will Smith, and he landed a role in the remake of “Red Dawn,” currently filming. It must be nice to take a break from that Scientology home schooling.

When “Crash” director Paul Haggis defected from Scientology recently it stimulated a well-deserved tornado of publicity, and the story went everywhere. But for some reason, when The Hollywood Reporter’s Roger Friedman wrote about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s contributions to Scientology last year, it didn’t get a lot of attention. Remember, Will Smith vehemently DENIED being a Scientologist, but he donated $80,000 to Scientology groups in 2008 according to tax filing. Jada Pinkett Smith, who donated $122,000, DOESN’T deny being a Scientologist, and is outraged by criticism of the cult. Jada said in a 2008 interview “You have people who are attacking and want to fight. And don’t know nothing. How you gonna not know nothing about Scientology and attack somebody? It’s dangerous and it’s ignorant. And as an American I’m not gonna be a part of that.”

Kirstie Alley showed up BAREFOOT for some reason, to the Monte Carlo Benefit held at her Scientology friend Nancy Cartwright’s house in Northridge. Nancy, who happens to be the voice of Bart Simpson, is an avid Scientologist who not long ago donated TEN MILLION DOLLARS to the cult specifically to fund Scientology’s “war on suppressive people.” (That is, people like us, who criticize Scientology.) So far they have not WON the war. The proceeds from the Monte Carlo benefit are donated PAL (the Police Activities League – yes the police happily accept donations from Scientology. Buttering up the cops is always smart!) PAL is opening a Youth Center in Northridge where kids can play sports and be brainwashed by Scientologists. Parents beware!

We were SHOCKED to learn that Scientologist John Travolta has admitted in court at his extortion trial in the Bahamas, that his son Jett was autistic and suffered from a seizure disorder common to the disease. This is a very big turnaround! John always insisted that Jett had something called Kawasaki disease caused by toxins in his carpet. Scientology doesn’t believe autism is a real disorder so Jett was never treated for autism. Travolta’s courtroom confession is a huge SLAP IN THE FACE to Scientology. Has John finally realized that Scientology doesn’t know it ALL? In recent weeks John has supposedly been deep in despair and contemplation, depressed over Jett’s death. (Feeling guilty perhaps, for not acknowledging and treating his son’s autism?) Maybe, just maybe, he is coming to his senses about Scientology. And not a minute too soon.
