I fondly remember some of Burt’s silly flicks, like Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run, and also his wonderful performance in the still ever so creepy movie, Deliverance. I can still hear those duelin’ banjos. Certainly some of you youngins’ may remember him more as Jack Horner in Boogie Nights.

These days however, Burt Reynolds, now 73, is no longer chased by Smokey. (miss you Jackie Gleason *sniff*) Nope! Good ol’ boy Bo “Bandit” Darville is now being chased by the tax man.

Uh oh, better fire up the ‘ol Trans Am Burt!

Burt was a hunk back in the day to many gals, and I have always enjoyed his flirtatious smile and who can forget that infectious high pitched laugh?

Well, I don’t think he’s laughing too much these days.

According to the California Franchise Tax Board’s annual report, Burt owes over $225,000. YOUCH!

CBS2.com is is reporting:

“A spokesman for Burt Reynolds says the actor has paid all outstanding California taxes and should have his name removed from a list of the biggest tax scofflaws. Reynolds’ spokesman, Jeffrey Lane, told The Associated Press on Friday that the 73-year-old actor fully repaid his debt in the 1990s.”

Perhaps a possible explanation, could be his divorce settlement from ex-wife Lonnie Anderson. Burt was quoted as saying:

“I’m paying the third highest alimony and child support in the world. And the only two ahead of me are sheiks,” [and this gem] “Marriage is about the most expensive way for the average man to get laundry done.”

Oh dear, sounds like Burt was tired of reachin’ deep into his pockets. PERIOD.

As Newsday article states:

State Controller John Chiang, who also is chairman of the Franchise Tax Board, said the annual list, intended to pressure those with large bills to pay up, represents only a fraction of the $6.5 billion in personal income taxes that go unpaid each year.

In addition to paying the taxes, names can be removed for several reasons, including filing bankruptcy and arranging installment payments. Names also can be removed when officials deem the debt uncollectible.

Burt is not alone on that list.

But wait, there’s more…

Well, well, well. It seems Mrs. Kate Gosselin can’t control EVERYTHING in her life, despite her valiant efforts. The angry mom from popular TLC show, “Jon and Kate Plus Eight”, has yet another reason to rip her hubby Jon a new one.

Just last week Glosslip’s Queen wrote about TLC renewing the reality show for another season, (Season 5) which follows the family of 10, including sextuplets around as they live their busy, but indulgent lives. Kate, who is a frequent target on parenting blogs for her over-the-top bitchiness, has been out promoting her latest book, while hubby Jon, seems to have been out chatting up the ladies. Here’s the scoop:

Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad Jon Gosselin is admitting he “showed poor judgment” by leaving a bar at 2 a.m. with a mystery woman and without his wedding band — while his wife Kate was across the country promoting a book.

“Like most people, I have male and female friends, and I’m not going to end my friendships just because I’m on TV,” the dad of 8 tells Extra. “However, being out with them late at night showed poor judgment on my part.”

“What makes me sick is that my careless behavior has put my family in this uncomfortable position,” he continues. “My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them.”

A clubgoer tells the newest issue of Us Weekly that Jon “could barely walk” after spending nearly three hours with a mystery woman he referred to as “babe.” After being spotted by photographers, the two hastily sped off in a car without turning on the headlights.

Jon told Us in an emailed statement that he went to Legends Lounge — near the $1.3 million family home in Wernersville, Pennsylvania — that night to “speak to the owner. A friend of mine wanted to check out my car, so I let her drive it to her car.”

But this isn’t the first time Jon has seemingly strayed.

In February, the 32-year-old was spotted flirting with — and even attempting to kiss — coeds at Juniata College, multiple students confirm to Us Weekly. (He denied any wrongdoing.) He told one coed “he was getting divorced.” In the May Ladies Home Journal, he says, “I always thought I would be, like, 54 years old and marry a 19-year-old or something.”

Poor judgment eh? Well, a part of me can’t help but gloat about these two attention-whores being hoisted by their own petards. Not to overload on the cliches, but if you live by the sword, then you die by the sword. It’s a bit difficult for me to believe that Jon and Kate think they can manipulate the media and the masses for a hefty profit by pimping our their kids and marriage, and then be shocked when they are caught acting like fools.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this were all a publicity stunt orchestrated by Kate herself to drum up attention for their new season. As we reported, it is alleged the Gosselin’s make $25k per episode of their show, not to mention the book royalties, endorsement deals and freebies. There is NOTHING Kate wouldn’t do to increase her bottom line, including pimp out her husband for publicity.

Then again, if he really is stepping out on Kate, who could blame him. Based on the show’s “reality”, Jon is treated to the worst kind of henpecking and abuse at the hands of his wife and family.

Truth or publicity stunt? What do you think? I am sure this blog is ALL over it

According to Us Magazine, Oscar-winning actor and supreme douche-nozzle Sean Penn has filed for “legal separation with minor children” from his long-suffering wife Robin Wright Penn.

This should come as a shock to no one, these two have been threatening to quit each other’s asses for a while now. Perhaps the third time is a the charm. Here’s what Us Magazine had to say:

Sean Penn has filed for “legal separation with minor children” from his wife of 13 years, actress Robin Wright Penn.

He filed the papers last Friday, Extra first reported.

Penn, 48, initially filed for divorce in December 2007, but his petition was later dismissed. Three days later, Wright Penn, 43, filed her own paperwork.

But in April 2008, the couple’s divorce petition was dismissed at their request.

They attended February’s Academy Awards, where Penn won his second Best Actor Oscar for his role as gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

He did not thank Wright Penn — with whom he has two children, Dylan, 18, and Hopper Jack, 15 — while accepting his award.

After the show, he told Oprah Winfrey that his gratitude for his wife was “implicit.”

“I wanted to keep things focused on the professional team around this movie,” he explained. “Because with Robin comes my mother and my son and my daughter, and half of them will punish me if I mention them.”

Just a couple of things on this pr spun b.s. First of all, don’t tell me that his gratitude for his wife is implicit, because that’s some ass-throttling nonsense right there. There is nothing in a relationship (as far as I am concerned) that is implicit unless it’s expressed openly and repeatedly. If my husband won an award and got up and thanked every b*tch on the planet but me, that would be the end of many of the liberties he enjoys, including those that affected his reproductive organs, his appendages, his gastrointestinal abilities and most assuredly, his wallet.

I can’t speak for Robin, but I know in my house how much I do, and I’ll be damned if I would sit by idly and let my husband take me for granted. When this happened at the Oscars, I *knew* it was the beginning of the end.

Secondly, everyone in Hollywood knows Sean Penn is a cokey-sniffing whore-monger who would hump a cockroach if it sat still long enough. There are so many blind-items pointing to Sean’s infidelities and lack of self-control that an entire cottage industry could be devoted to him alone.

Robin Wright is WAY better off without this embarrassing slut dragging her name through the mud. Get a good attorney dear, and rape his bank account like he’s raped your dignity for the last 13 years.

U2 guitarist David Evans, aka “The Edge” has BIG plans for Malibu, Ca. His nickname was supposedly coined by bandmate and U2 frontman Bono, for the sharp edges of his face and his ability to observe things from the edge. Er, ok.

I can just picture him and Bono back in the day at the pub, piss drunk from too many Guinnesses and Bono saying (imagine in Bono’s voice):

Bono: “Davey! Listen, you bleedin mule, and I ain’t sayin this  ’cause I’m  gunner-eyed and langers, but Jaysus you’re a ride, with sharp features, and your new name will be Edge.  Now I need to do me pooley.”

David: “Sufferin ducks, You’re coddin’ me Bono?

Well I guess Bono wasn’t kidding, ’cause the name stuck and now the Edge will be, you guessed it, living on the edge in Malibu, on the beautiful Pacific coastline after plunking down over $15 mil, for a 120 acre lot in the Serra Retreat also known as Serra Canyon area back in 2006.

For all of you history buffs and geography nerds:

The Serra Retreat (also called Serra Canyon) is a wooded canyon area adjacent to Malibu Creek in Lower Malibu Canyon, as well as a portion of Sweetwater Mesa.  Also home to the Malibu raquet Club.

The Franciscan friars’ Serra Retreat, named for Junipero Serra, the apostle of California and founder of the California missions.

Originally planned as the home of Malibu’s Rindge family, it was sold to the Franciscans in 1942.

Evans currently owns homes in Ireland and France, and also crashes in a multi-million dollar estate in the “conservative” (*snicker*) area of La Costa with his second wife Morleigh Steinberg, but has bigger plans to bust a move, and hob nob with residents of the Serra Retreat area.

The Edge said:

“My family and I love Malibu, having maintained a residence here for more than a decade,” he told the Times. “These homes will be some of the most environmentally sensitive ever designed in Malibu—or anywhere in the world. I’m disappointed that certain critics either don’t have the facts or have ulterior motives.”

There’s bick bucks in dem hills!

But wait, there’s more…

Some days I love my job. Writing about celebs can be a lot of fun, but then there are days when I just have to go WTF? Today is one of those days. Why? Because I have to write about two dimwitted knucklehead McSpazatrons, that’s why.

By now you’ve probably guessed I am talking about Spencer Prattle on and on, and Heidi Montag, the two biggest fame whores on the planet. And that’s not hyperbole, seriously, there is NOTHING these two won’t do for some attention. I’ve seen sugar-addled toddlers on Halloween with more self-control than Speidi.

So, apparently, The Hills rejects Spencer and Heidi got married again for the umpteenth time and managed to get the tabloids to pay money for their nuptial pics. The irony is not lost on me that I am being a complete hypocrite for writing about these two, but in all fairness, I didn’t start it. Plus, it’s a slow celeb news day. So without further frivolities, here’s the two dumb-dumbs in their Big Day duds and some commentary from Us Magazine (enbablers!):

Heidi’s mom shared a moment with her daughter before her big day. “I’m just so happy they found each other,” she told Us. “I feel like I’ve passed on the job of taking care of Heidi to him, and it’s a big job! He’s the only other person alive who could do it.”

Apparently, Heidi’s mom Darlene, has had a change of heart, because here’s what Heidi’s mom said about Spencer back in December when the two “supposedly” got hitched in Mexico:

“He’s manipulative and seems to have power over Heidi,” Darlene Egelhoff, 46, told Us in an exclusive interview from her home in Crested Butte, Colorado the day after Montag, 22, blew off Thanksgiving with her family to stay with Pratt in Cabo San Lucas., the site of her Nov. 20 elopement. “I would like to see a blood test from Mexico. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had her drugged.”

“Spencer has tried to cut everyone out of her life,” Egelhoff tells Us. “I’ve been honest with Heidi, and it’s caused our relationship to decline. I’m more devastated about that than the marriage, because I’m confident the marriage won’t work out.”

Oh how the worm has turned, or been paid off. Whatever, everyone knows these two are just paid Us Magazine sponsors doing what two insane people must do to pay the rent. Oh, and frenemy Lauren Conrad showed up to attend to her contractual obligations. Doesn’t she look thrilled to be there? Don’t worry, she was paid to look disaffected. Pardon my skepticism, I had a bowl of Grumpy-O’s for breakfast.

If Spencer and Heidi weren’t so over-the-top annoying, it’d be like some kind of brilliant performance art, with them playing the public and the public going along for the ride. But then Heidi had to go and make music and that’s where I draw the line. An affront to my common sense is one thing, but an affront to my ears? HELLS TO THE NO! So if I must suffer, so must you. Here’s her new “song” title Sex Ed, a wedding gift for her fake hubby. If I were Spencer, I might be a bit insulted being given a song called Sex Ed. Then again, if I were Spencer I’d have driven myself off a cliff by now.

*Burp*

Sorry, coffee just barfed up in my mouth. Now, please excuse me while I go take a shower and try and clean the dirty off of me.

Cultural icon, comedic actress and two-time Emmy award winner, Bea Arthur passed away at the age of 86 this past Saturday after battling cancer. The actress, best known for her roles in the two hit sitcoms she starred in “Maude” and “Golden Girls” is remembered for her quick wit and impressive height of 5′9″.

Arthur, who starred in the hit show Maude from 1972-1978 impressed audiences so much playing Edith Bunker’s lefty cousin on “All In The Family” that she was offered to star in a spin-off which became the popular serial for the actress. Throughout her career Arthur combined her real-life political interests with her on-screen characters making the two fairly indistinguishable. She brought many taboo issues like divorce, domestic abuse and abortion to mainstream audiences.

Then in the 80’s, with the hit show “Golden Girls”(1985 – 1992) Arthur and fellow actresses Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty, made getting older seem a lot more interesting by presenting topics which related to “senior living” often ignored by mainstream culture, such as dating, sex, menopause and death. The show became something of a cult classic and is still in syndication, with it recently being picked up by the Hallmark Channel.

Bea, because of her stature and low voice was often the subject of not-so-sweet ribbing, but seemed to take it in stride, a true testament to her good nature. She will be missed by many. RIP.

Alterna-rock legend Beck perfomed a benefit concert at the Echo in LA last month. The Echo has been described as a 300 seat hole in the wall on Sunset Blvd just west of downtown Los Angeles. Beck, a bit of an eccentric, has done many “secret” concerts there in the past.

One of his SCHEDULED shows last June ‘08 was cancelled abruptly with no explanation, with fans paying upwards of $300
for scalped tickets. Then, without explanation again, Beck appeared unannounced the following week at a “super secret” show with a new album, and a new band, much to the disappointment of fans who were there for him the week before.

So we have a bit of history of secretiveness with Beck’s performance, but last month’s was the icing on the Xenu-cake.

The March 11th show at the Echo was advertised as a “benefit” concert with tickets going for $35.00 a pop and the net proceeds were to benefit a “charity” called Educating Children International

At least according to the concert flyer (which can be seen above.)

Almost immediately there were raised eyebrows as to where the proceeds were going and who or what exactly was Educating Children International?

LA Weekly’s Randall Roberts suspected that Beck’s last concert may have had a connection with Scientology, seeing as Beck is well-known celeb Scientologist. Connection is putting it mildy!

Roberts writes:

“Beck is indicating that his performance tonight is a benefit for some sort of educational non-profit, but provides a dead end domain name as the organization to which he will be donating the proceeds. Shouldn’t we know where that $35 is going?”

In follow up on the same day Randall posts:

“An astute reader has just sent us a link to this Scientology page, which seems to add further evidence to the assertion that the non-profit organization to be the beneficiary of the $35 cover to tonight’s Beck show at the Echo, Educating Children International, is indeed affiliated with the Church of Scientology.”

Just one visit to the Educating Children website shows a picture of one of the Scientology” free schools”.

The sign on the roof reads West Bengal SCIENTOLOGY Free School, too bad it didn’t mean Scientology-free school (badump-bump)!

LA Weekly adds:

“And, for the record, there was no prosthelytizing of any sort at last night’s show, according to someone who was there. Nor was there any info booth or anything indicating the show was affiliated with any sort of non-profit.”

Of course Scientology didn’t offer to put an info booth or show there was any affiliation with Scientology, they may be evil and corrupt, but they aren’t completely stupid. If they’d shown up with their little yellow circus tents and “touchy-feeling” followers, fans would have been in an uproar and demanding refunds. Besides, Scientology already had the fan’s money when they bought the tickets. That’s how they roll.

Not long ago, Glosslip did a story on Scientology Ministries, where we mentioned that Scientology was reaching out to third world countries. One of those countries is India. The program? You guessed it, Educating Children International. And the people volunteering? Scientology Ministries. What a cowinky-dink!

The man spearheading this program is Mohommad Khalilullah. (We will tell you all about Mohommad and two featured volunteers in India in our part 2 of the story coming soon.)

Beck’s official website, does not mention or list the past concert at the Echo or any Scientology affiliation. Beck is however, re-releasing one of his past albums.

Our theory is Beck’s music career has suffered lately due to his affiliations with Scientology and he is now being forced to re-release old material in an effort to make some money. After all, as a high-profile Scientologist, he is commissioned with KSW (Keep Scientology Working – Tom Cruise explains here) and you can’t do that when your new stuff doesn’t sell.

lt’s no secret many established artists are having a tough time selling their music in this economy, the music industry has been foundering for some time now, but one has to wonder if all this added negative attention Scientology’s been getting (thanks Tom Cruise, Anonymous) is starting to spill over to all its “celeb” members?

In doing research on this story, we came across some interesting Scientology connections in Beck’s music. Some song titles from Becks collection are “The Golden Age,” “E-Pro” and “Gamma Ray”.

So what we’re wondering is…could E-Pro be short for E-meter pro? And perhaps Golden Age refers to L. Ron Hubbard’s “Golden Age” Book series that were recently published? And Gamma Ray? well, that’s self explanatory! These titles seem very “SCI-entific”!

Perhaps even more telling are Beck’s song titles from his “Modern Guilt” Album. Which are ” Modern Guilt” , “Orphans”, “Nausea”, and “Volcano”.

Hey Beck! Scientology much?

Re-releasing old material to your fans is one thing, but not divulging the TRUTH about a “charity” is an outrage!

Fans now have to worry whether their concert ticket dollars are going to an organization which employs slave labor, forced abortions and has been waging a war on psychiatry for years.

People, do your homework before you purchase a ticket for a “benefit ” event involving any Scientology artists, or you may be just buying David Miscavige a new swimming pool.

[Editor's note: Just to show how fair and balanced we are, I would like to point out that I LOVE Beck's music, I think the man is very talented and part of my drive to expose Scientology as the fraud it is comes from wanting to help people like Beck, who is clearly brainwashed. A world without Beck's music would be a bit less interesting and enriched, but that doesn't excuse his ignorance towards this bogus cult. So with that in mind, here's fav of mine (original video here):]

Naked Wizard Tased By Reality from Tracy Anderson on Vimeo.

This video is NSFW or your eyes.

A Coachella concert-goer got a hold of the bad stuff and decided to take his clothes off and refused to put them on, despite cops repeated cajoling, warning and threatening him to do so. Finally, after the naked offender got belligerent and hostile with the cops (who I think were being fairly cool at the beginning), our friend with the button peen gets his ass (well, in this case his neck and head) tased over and over again, with him STILL refusing to put his clothes on.

What’s almost as offensive as his naked, flabby vessel (and seriously, I am trying hard to keep myself for going total postal on his bizarrely underdeveloped manhood, WTF???) is the crowd acting like the cops were some how at fault here.

Look, I like to hug trees and plant seeds of love as much as the next neo-hippy, but that does NOT mean it’s ok to strip down in public and disobey the law in a belligerent manner. People seem to think just because they are in a large crowd, that mob rule applies.

I am personally totally ok with the treatment this freak received. And why on God’s green earth he’d want to reveal to the world what might be the smallest, most insignificant penis is beyond me. Those cops were doing you a favor buddy, you were just to janked to realize it.

Alleged Child Toucher, Ben Kasle

Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard was once quoted as saying Scientologists “are the most ethical people on the planet.”

Well, that’s a crock.

Looks like Scientology’s “touch assists” mean something else to 21 year old Ben Kasle. It has been reported that he has been charged with two counts of “gross sexual imposition” based on reports alleging the Scientologist had sex with girl who is now 14, which means she was ONLY 13 when the abuse started. Now that’s what I’d call ethical.

For clarification purposes, the legal definition of gross sexual imposition, can be found here.

Ben Kasle, who grew up with Scientology parents, is said to be married to a woman named Angelina, but clearly this didn’t prevent him from sexually abusing a 13-year old girl. Here’s more from a WCPO report:

A man was arrested today accused of having sex with a teenager at the Church of Scientology in Downtown Cincinnati.

Twenty-one-year-old Ben Kasle is charged with two counts of gross sexual imposition.

Investigators say he had sex with the girl who is now 14-years-old.

Police records indicate the alleged offenses happened at the church on Fourth Street between October 2007 and September 2008.

An attorney representing the church says the church is aware of the investigation and is cooperating with police, however, the church has no comment since the investigation is ongoing.

He is due in court on May 6th.

“The church has no comment”. Well there’s a surprise.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first case of a Scientologist accused of such behavior. Ex-Scientology member Tommy Gorman’s wife Jennifer was raped by the number one top supervisor at their Golden Age of Tech, 11 year staff member, Gabriel Williams. Gorman states:

“Gabriel Williams went to jail for about 1 year and we were really disappointed because the DA convinced her to accept a plea bargain because Gabriel plead guilty to two felonies. Jennifer was told that Gabriel would go to prison for sure. He never admitted to rape but pleaded guilty to sexual battery and sodomy.”

You can read Tommy Gorman’s full account of his wife’s attack and his experiences dealing with the Scientology in the wake of this horrifying event, including ongoing harassment of Gorman and his family.

Another disturbing sexual abuse story involving a Scientologist happened back in January 2008. Broadway actor James Barbour was accused of having criminal sexual contact with a high school student who was an aspiring actress when she attended a performance of “Jane Eyre” in June 2001. Here are few snippets from the NYTimes report on the case:

Under the negotiated deal, Mr. Barbour, 41, pleaded guilty to two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, both misdemeanors, in exchange for a promise that he would be sentenced to 60 days in jail and three years’ probation.

“Barbor told the judge that he had oral sex with the girl in his apartment the next month. She did not come forward with her account for several years.

And he has to get permission from the court or his probation officer to participate in shows employing child actors or to give backstage tours to children. He must also attend sex-offender treatment and cannot visit playgrounds, arcades, amusement parks, school grounds or Internet chat rooms frequented by children without permission from his probation officer.

In a signed statement to the police in April 2006, Mr. Barbour said that he was just acting as a mentor to the girl, that he had done no more than touch her knees and kiss her and that he thought that she was 16.

But in court on Thursday when asked by Justice Scherer, “Were you aware of her exact age?” Mr. Barbour replied, “Yes.”

“What was that age?” Justice Scherer pressed.

“Fifteen,” he replied.”

Wait…what? He was “just acting like a mentor to the girl”. Apparently, in a touchy~feely, creepy, and quite illegal sort of way.

The cases I just mentioned are mere slaps on the wrists! These men got away with scarring a child’s life forever which is just despicable!

Major thanks to the folks at WWP, who were able to dig up Ben Kasle’s Scientology completions (as well as some interesting pics and docs *hint,hint*), please pay special attention to the first two courses on his list, we’re sure they served him well!

Based on the information we have, it seems Ben was, or is, a Scientology Minister. Oh, and of course there’s the wife Angelina, who is from Russia. Glad they caught him now before he was able to harm anymore little girls.

I DO know that this current arrest is yet another foot bullet and huge “PR flap” (as Scientology calls it) for the cult, who in the past year, has been accused by so many ex-members of crimes and human rights abuses. Truly if you are able to let all the documented cases of abuse and violations perpetrated by one organization which “claims” to be a religion sink into your brain, it’d be enough to make your head spin.

Ex-members are speaking out and filing lawsuits, people are writing books and Scientologists are leaving in droves. As we reported here, ex-Scientologists Marc Headley is coming out with his book, Blown For Good which details his eye-witness accounts of major abuses as a 15-year member of the Sea Organization, including violent attacks at the hands of church leader, David Miscavige (who’s also Tom Cruise’s best friend).

There’s also a fantastic book out now by John Duignan, called “The Complex” whom we also interviewed for our Glosslip Radio show. You can listen to Marc Headley’s interview here and John Duignan interviews here.

Another major blow to Scientology’s increasingly tainted reputation was an expose done by Nathan Baca of KESQ TV. Baca presented some very damaging news reports on Scientology’s Golden Era Productions compound( aka Gold Base in Gilman Hot Springs/Hemet, California.)

Nathan’s bravery and excellent reporting was instrumental in cult’s spokesperson Tommy Davis admitting the story of Intergalatic Warlord Xenu in OT III, which is one of the levels on Scientology’s Bridge to Total Freedom which we like to call: the Bridge To Nowhere.

Baca’s ground-breaking reports have helped to further unravel more of Scientology’s enigmatic back story, as well as, insight into the abuses which have alleged to occur at the secretive, highly guarded desert compound.

The group Anonymous continues to protest and and chip away at Scientology with monthly protests and “flash raids” WORLD WIDE. They are a thorn in Scientology’s side, and it hurts so good!

Perhaps the most baffling part in this bizarre vortex of secrets and abuses committed by this cult, is our government’s complete lack of interest in shutting them down. In Europe, many countries, including Germany and France, have attempted to ban the group, which many foreign officials deem as a fascistic and elaborate ponzi scheme. Their efforts to do so have been hampered in part, due to our own government’s meddling (claiming religious persecution, as IF) and of course, famous members of the cult like Tom Cruise and John Travolta pressuring the powers that be to stay out of their “church” business.

It has become obvious to us here at Glosslip, the final unraveling of the Scientology will have to come from ex-members and the general public’s continued pressure and exposure, as the authorities have proven themselves to be either useless, or in cahoots with Scientology officials.

We encourage all victims of Scientology to step forward and report the abuses to law enforcement, only this continued pressure will bring about change. So many fear leaving the church out of concern to their family members and loved ones still trapped inside. But like so many corrupt organizations throughout history, the only way to stop the abuse is to be brave enough to speak out. If you or someone you love needs support in leaving Scientology, please call this toll-free number for help 1-866-XSEAORG.

Papa Knowles, who is also Beyonce’s main PR pimp, was livid his money-making machine was being disparaged in the media yesterday after an alleged tape aired on the Howard Stern show of Beyonce singing like a wounded animal. Mathew Knowles gave a statement on the matter, which TMZ now admits was a hoax (nice job losers)!

In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who’s also Bey’s manager, says his daughter was set up. It’s one of the best statements we’ve ever gotten.

“If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.

If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing ‘America the Beautiful’ and ‘At Last’ at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce’s vocal ability, they’ve gotta be an idiot.

At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.

That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered.”

So there you have it, the good news is Beyonce CAN sing. The bad, she’s still married to Jay-Z.
