Is Scientology the new economic divide in Hollywood?
 
Are those crazy-ass Scientologists and their moneygrubbing Xenu about to claim another celebrity victim?Â
The PR spin-science behind Scientology is to gently pave the way for new members by downplaying the crazy and desperately trying to legitimize the cult as a religion. Now they are using Jennifer Lopez to do their dirty work.  JLo announced this week that her father is a Scientologist and has been for 20 years in a radio interview while in Miami.
“My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years. It’s weird people want to paint it in a negative way,” stated Lopez. “I, myself, am Catholic. But it’s just sad that people would look at it (Scientology) in that way.”
Lopez’s rep, and possibly the biggest liar in the PR business, Leslie Sloane, said, “Jennifer is not a Scientologist, nor is she becoming a Scientologist?
Whatever, we all know homegirl from the block is trying to convince hubby Marc Anthony to ante up some of his cash and go in on a Level 1 Thetan’s training manual. I heard that crap costs like $100K.  No way Marc Anthony is going for that silliness. I bet he’s telling Jenny that money doesn’t grow on trees and he has better things to spend his cash on, like beauty treatments for his undead ass.
No sane person who loves their money would want to be a Scientologist. Period. Unless it’s in exchange for protection from scandal and some sweet movie deals.Â
Just ask Victoria “Posh” Beckham. Despite being double-teamed by the Wonderbread twins Tom and Katie Cruise, inside sources state that Posh is WAY too cheap to become a Scientologist. This from a women whose husband just inked a $250 million dollar soccer deal with the LA Galaxy.  According to sources close to the couple, Victoria just isn’t going for it, despite spending an inordinate amount of time with the unofficial spokesfamily for the ridiculous cult.
The source said, “Tom spoke to David for hours about Scientology. He feels it could help to lift him out of the blues over his football career. But Victoria is having none of it. She can’t see the point of joining something like that where you have to donate money.”
I just gained about two ounces of respect for Posh for being practical. That brings the total amount of respect to -40. Don’t give up yet Vic, you’re catching up.

Too cheap to be seduced by a pseudo-fad-religion… that is a new level of shallow.
