Oh Those Nutty Celebs and Their Amusing Ways.

Hi all, Well its the OSCARS tomorrow, and I thought it wasa great time to air one of my all time favourite rants, yep those nutty celebs. Hopefully there wont be too many ill informed speeches from know nothing well meaning dogooders, about things they don't understand, Al Gore and George Clooney on global warming spring to mind. Driving around in their Toyota Prius cars whose eventual scrapping,and disposal of the batteries in them, will cause more environmental harm than any CO2 they would have produced intheir lives if they had had normal petrol engines. still that's for another rant I am getting off the point.

No my rant today is on the growing number of celebs joining that nutty religious cult, the scientologists, you know who they are but in case you didn't, here is a list (source wikipedia list of scientologists).

Kirstie Alley, Anne Archer, Jennifer Aspen, Beck, Catherine Bell, Karen Black, Nancy Cartwright, Kate Ceberano, Erika Christensen, Tom Cruise, Jenna Elfman, Doug E. Fresh, Paul Haggis, Isaac Hayes, Katie Holmes, Tyler Hynes, Jason Lee, Geoffrey Lewis, Johnny Lewis, Juliette Lewis, Christopher Masterson, Danny Masterson, Jim Meskimen, Sofia Milos, Haywood Nelson, Corin Nemec, Marisol Nichols, Judy Norton, Michael Peña, David Pomeranz, Laura Prepon, Lisa Marie Presley, Priscilla Presley, Kelly Preston, Leah Remini, Patrick Renna, Ernie Reyes, Jr., Giovanni Ribisi, Marissa Ribisi, Ruddy Rodriguez, Michelle Stafford, Ethan Suplee, John Travolta,

I am sure there are some I have left out, if you know of any more leave a comment.The vaguely disturbing thing about this is, that so many of these people who are in the public eye actually have some influence over the masses, (ok masses who are lets say a few sticks short), but still seems a bit sleazy to me. Now I have to say at this point that I support everyone's free will to believe whatever they like, No matter how mad and misguided, but these people once you join them, suck your money out of your account like a demented vacuum cleaner, and give your brain a good washing into the bargain. They are using the celebs, who see a different side to it all having their own celebrity centres etc, into getting the ordinary plebs to join, who then loose all their money and sanity etc etc. They are mostly harmless to you and me but we should protect our fellow humans from this kind of crap don't you think.

I have to ask myself why are these people joining this weird organisation, an organisation that was started by a bad science fiction writer (L ron Hubbard), whose core belief is that we are inhabited by bits of aliens who were brought here in space worthy DC8 aircraft, and blown up by volcanoes, (I kid you not). I mean all religion even themain stream ones are pretty nutty, but this just takes the cake. On a side note if you want to know more about these wacky scientologists have a look at http://www.xenutv.com/

The best reason I can come up with is that being associated with this bunch gets them more work. For example tom cruise now is in charge of united artists and john travolta managed to get backing to make Battlefield Earth,a film widely thought to be the worst film ever released by a major Hollywood studio, the story for which was written byL ron Hubbard (bad sci fi I rest my case).

I just hope that there is a greed related explanation, or if they do genuinely believe the teachings of L Ron that they stop breeding.

The above rant is my personal view and opinion, if you agree or it annoys you or if you have anything to say please leave a comment.
