Leah Remini On Larry King Now Leah Remini – who famously left the Church of Scientology in 2013, after being a member for 35 years – sits with Larry King to discuss the organization’s controversial practices, Tom Cruise’s involvement, and why she welcomes the church to sue her over her new docu-series. Leah Remini on Scientology: I was a fraud Describing the Church of Scientology as a “pay-as-you-go religion,” Leah Remini – a former Scientologist – says involvement in the organization comes at great personal expense, as members pursue the alleged spiritual gains that go along with climbing the ranks of the religion. Leah Remini: Tom Cruise thinks I’m the devil Maintaining that Tom Cruise is sincerely dedicated to the Church of Scientology, Leah Remini – a former Scientologist who has spoken out against the church – says that Cruise has been taught by the organization to believe that she and people like her are the devil.

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Joan Hamburg   CRUISE ON THE EDGE --- We went last night to see the new Tom Cruise’s new movie Edge Of Tomorrow (directed by Doug Liman) and loved it. Based on a Japanese-novella entitled All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, Cruise plays a PR-officer for the military (William Cage) is who is suddenly (and, probably illegally) thrust into combat against Earth’s deadliest new foe. Killed within minutes he finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop –forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over … but, each time with more and more knowledge about what to do next. It’s a hook for sure, but once that works far better than you would expect. The wondrous Emily Blunt also stars as Sgt. Rita Vrataski, the resistance’s greatest warrior. Her role as the somewhat mystical- warrior is pure Japanese-legend, and works terrifically well. It’s her first action role and she acquits ...

Tom Cruise Scientology is facing several crises including flagging membership, internal riffs, ruthless Internet exposure, and whole new levels of mainstream awareness and ridicule because of the Cruise / Holmes divorce coupled with the release of the upcoming movie about the church that is receiving Oscar buzz. Yet these problems pale in comparison to the latest controversy that the church is facing. Scientology’s drug treatment program, Narconon is now under heavy fire for four recent deaths at its flagship facility in Oklahoma and is under investigation. Additionally the program is mired in legal woes in Michigan and Georgia. Last night, a report by Rock Center's Harry Smith on NBC blew the lid on the goings on at the bizarre drug rehab, where patients are schooled in the Scientology way combined with unconventional detox methods rather than getting counseling for their actual drug problems.

**** THE US WEEKLY ROUNDUP **** Good Mom Katie Holmes Tom Cruise This week’s issue of Us Weekly is all about Katie Holmes taking charge of daughter Suri Cruise with a new school, stricter rules, and a chance to make friends. She’s determined to give Suri a normal childhood! Details are also included on what Katie told Suri about Tom and the divorce. Insiders say Holmes, 33, was driven to file for divorce — and demand full custody — from husband Tom Cruise, 50, because she’s on a mission to take control of Suri’s upbringing. For years, the precocious tot had been raised under the discipline-free guide­lines of Scientology. “Tom would let Suri do whatever she wanted,” says a Holmes source. Add an unlimited clothing and toy budget — her dad is worth an esti­mated $250 million, after all — and the world-famous 6-year-old “had become very demanding and bratty,” says the insider. “Katie saw that Suri was growing into a monster.” Now the Toledo, Ohio, native is determin...

  Thomas John The everyday antics of Hollywood are often intriguing and hard to predict, but not for celebrity psychic Thomas John, who on January 1, 2012, during his two hour long, live podcast Voices from Beyond with Thomas John, accurately predicted the divorce of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. During the January podcast, Thomas John stated that there would be “change all around Tom Cruise this year,” predicting that Cruise may “be ending it (marriage) with current wife Katie Holmes.” (http://belindabentley.com/Public/archives/766). Earlier this week, Holmes filed for divorce from the blockbuster actor after their 5 year long marriage. With a looming public divorce and custody battle well underway, Thomas John’s predictions couldn’t be more accurate. “In January on my website I also predicted health issues with Whitney Houston and I also predicted a queen of soul would die. Unfortunately, Etta James, a great soul legend, and Whitney Houston, both passed th...

 **** The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly is all about Katie Holmes finally breaking free from her “Rosemary’s Baby” marriage to Tom Cruise.    ****  Katie Holmes Tom Cruise Katie Holmes' Hollywood fairy tale with Tom Cruise definitely did not have a happy ending. When the 33-year-old actress filed for divorce from Cruise, 49, last Thursday -- aggressively moving for sole legal custody of daughter Suri, 6 -- it was the culmination of a year-long attempt to break free of a confining, Scientology-influenced marriage to Cruise, sources tell the new Us Weekly, out now. "Every move she made and everything she did was controlled . . . She felt like she was in Rosemary's Baby," says one insider, referring to the classic 1968 horror film, in which an aspiring young actress (Mia Farrow) unwittingly bears a child for her husband's Satanic cult. Indeed, her shocking divorce filing, which has blindsided a "furious" Cruise, wasn...

**** THE US WEEKLY ROUNDUP **** The Us Weekly Cover Attached please find the cover story from the new issue of Us Weekly, which looks at Pippa Middleton’s shocking ride in Paris. After partying at a raucous, raunchy bash in Paris until 5 a.m., Middleton took a spin with three pals in a convertible on Saturday when photographers snapped the foursome -- and, in a bizarre turn of events, the driver of the car took out what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol and aimed it at the photographer. Sitting in the passenger seat, Middleton laughed. Nobody's laughing now. As revealed in the new Us Weekly, Middleton will be questioned by French authorities about the gun-waving incident and faces nearly $6000 in fines and even jail time if convicted. The royal in-laws are not pleased. "This is embarrassing for them," a royal source says. Including big sister Duchess Kate. Her sibling's surprising photo "has put Kate in a very difficult position," the source adds. ...

Cameron Diaz Filming has been stopped on the new Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz's movie "Knight And Day" after two people were injured on the set when seven bulls escaped onto the streets of Spain. The animals were being used to recreate scenes from the country's annual Pamplona bull run. They fled onto the streets of Cadiz until they were recaptured 40 minutes later. Two women were hurt during the stampede, according to local police and officials, leading the mayor's office to call off shooting until safety procedures are re-evaluated. A spokesperson for the mayor of Cadiz says, "Nothing will be filmed in Cadiz until we have a new plan that guarantees the safety of local residents." Producer Calle Cruzada insists he did not know how the bulls managed to escape. But the incident will further the fears of an anti-bullfighting organization, whose members have begged Cruise and Diaz to pull out of the movie. On the set of "Knight And Day" in Salzbu...

Brad Pitt Superstar Brad Pitt is hitting out against Tom Cruise for the title of best World War II movie, calling the Hollywood actor's recent film "Valkyrie" "ridiculous." Award winning Brad, teamed up with famed director Quentin Tarantino for "Inglourious Basterds," which was released less than a year after Cruise's 2008 drama about a plot to kill Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. However, Brad is insisting his portrayal of Nazi hunter Aldo Raine in Tarantino's violent film is no comparison to Cruise's character. He tells German magazine Stern, "The second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin put a cover on that pot. With 'Basterds,' everything that can be said to this genre has been said. The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story ... ('Valkyrie') was a ridiculous movie."
