Grrrrr!! I Love Scientology!

Just when things are looking up and NBC drops Scientologist Jason Lee’s show, “My Name is Earl,” (the dumbest show ever…right up there next to My Mother The Car) CBS says they are coming out with a new comedy this Fall called “Accidentally on Purpose”, and will star Jenna Elfman. Thanks CBS, thanks A LOT!

Jenna was recently interviewed on the Early Show, to promote her new flop show and they ran a clip of Accidentally On Purpose. It is beyond BAD. In the small clip you can already tell the show is loaded with bad acting, lousy writing and it’s just NOT funny.  See for yourself.

For those of you who don’t know who Jenna Elfman is, she made it big with the TV show “Dharma and Greg” years ago. Now for all you youngins’, who are saying, who or what the hell is Dharma and Greg, allow me to enlighten you.

The show aired from 1997 – 2002 and was about a culture-clashed couple, with Dharma, a goofy neo-hippy whose parents are new agey types and her husband, Greg (played by Thomas Gibson) a straight-laced lawyer, whose parents, you guessed are also uptight yuppies. Oh the hilarity that ensued (or didn’t depending on who you ask) as the quirky Dharmas and the uppity Gregs dealt with life’s little mysteries. Ok, enough of that drivel.

In real life, Jenna is NO Dharma, abiding by the live and let live policy of her on-screen persona, but rather she and her husband Bodhi, (son of director Richard Elfman) are die-hard Scientologists. And just to keep you apprised of what Scientologists believe about other religions — they don’t. Even worse than most mainstream religions, Scientology is one of the most intolerant of outside beliefs and other faiths of any cult around.

Not surprising… Bodhi’s father Richard, is also a Scientologist. Jenna and Bodhi met at auditions for a Sprite commercial. Bodhi was responsible for getting Jenna into the cult. The BOTH studied under Milton Katselas who is the teacher at the famed The Beverly Hills Playhouse. Unfortunately Katselas has pressured MANY celebrities to get into Scientology, but since he has “dropped his body” at least he won’t be able to lure any new converts (thanks Liz).

The Elfmans have one child, Story Elias, who will presumably be raised as a Scientologist. SAD I believe Jenna is OT V on Scientology’s Bridge To Nowhere. Correct me if I am wrong.  And she has also been on Scientology’s Freewinds cruise ship which was laden with asbestos when she traveled on it. Better get those lungs checked Jenna!

Now this new show, “Accidentally On Purpose” is supposed to be a comedy, but the true comedy here is definitely Jenna herself. She has been known to come out with some pretty off-the-wall statements over the years, and Jenna and Bodhi defend their cult with an iron fist.

Back in 2006, when Elfman was out one day with Bodhi, they happened to come across someone wearing a Scientology is Gay t-shirt which pictured Tom Cruise on the front, and a young John Travolta, with VERY GAY written underneath.

This prompted Jenna to scream at and berate this man wearing the t-shirt with standard Scientology attack behavior, asking him what his crimes were and if he raped a baby. Yes you read that right. Seriously, WTF is up with that line of defensive, or in this case, offensive? That’s a classic sign of instability and insanity if you ask me. 

TMZ reported:

 ”Tom Cruise’s recent public displays weren’t evidence enough, Scientologists Jenna and Bodhi Elfman prove that they, too, are willing to go to great lengths to defend their religion.

Indie film director John Roecker tells TMZ he was walking to his car with a female friend in the trendy Los Feliz neighborhood last Sunday when he was approached by a shirtless man and a tall blonde. “Hey, man, you’re making fun of my religion,” said the stranger angrily.

Roecker quickly recognized the couple as actor Bodhi Elfman and his wife, ‘Dharma and Greg’ star Jenna Elfman. Mr. Elfman’s ire was apparently drawn by Roecker’s self-made t-shirt, which had a picture of Tom Cruise on the front under the caption “Scientology is Gay!” and a ‘Stayin’-Alive’-era John Travolta on the back with the words “Very Gay!” For the record, both Cruise and Travolta have said repeatedly they are not gay.

According to Roecker, whose encounter was first reported on LA’s KROQ-FM’s Kevin and Bean Show, the invective started to fly after he made several references to Scientology theology and its reported central tenent, the story of Xenu.

Roecker says Jenna repeatedly said “What crimes have you committed?” and began screaming at Roecker, “Have you raped a baby?” as motorists on Los Feliz Boulevard drove by in snarled traffic.

Roecker says it appears that Bodhi Elfman prepared to take a swing at him, but thought against it.

Bizarrely, Roecker also says that the Elfmans had a young, twenty-something male companion with them whom they continually instructed to move away and cover his ears whenever references to Xenu were made.

Roecker says this is not the first time he has worn a t-shirt that has provoked similar reactions from fellow devotees of L. Ron Hubbard like Juliette Lewis, Lisa Marie Presley, and actor Hal Ozman, who worked on ‘Dawson’s Creek’ with none other than a certain Katie Holmes. Sources at the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Centre say Roecker is no stranger to them. Several non-celeb parishioners have also complained about Roecker’s t-shirts.

Bodhi Elfman’s rep Jenni Weinman tells TMZ that according to Bodhi “He was out for a Sunday stroll with his wife, when some guy walks by with a t-shirt on, very prominently attacking his religion. Words were extended and Bodhi and Jenna were personally attacked for their beliefs. As they went about their business, the guy continued to try to illicit negative responses from the both of them. As they walked away he continued to scream propaganda and hate at them. Apparently he spent all Monday calling the press to promote himself.

Yikes! Elfmans, grow the hell up and get a clue on reality! Oh wait… too late, you’re Scientologists, things like reality and a clue are foreign terms.

I was going to give Jenna a good dissing in this article, because she most definitely deserves it, but it’s really not necessary. All one has to do, is quote Jenna herself, her quotes pretty much diss herself.

So here we go…a few charming quotes by Ms. Jenna Whack-a-Do Scientology Extraordinaire.

Quote from the Mirabella magazine interview 1999:

“Bodhi [Elfman, her husband] also introduced her to the Church of Scientology. ‘He didn’t push it on me or anything. I started becoming curious, from hearing him talk about it. I took a course where you get the basic concepts. It was everything I felt I already knew, but I was missing pieces, so I couldn’t apply it to life.’ She doesn’t proselytize–’our founder, L. Ron Hubbard, says if it’s true for you, it’s true for you, and if it’s not, it’s not. There are all these misconceptions about someone pushing it on you’–but says that Scientology restored her confidence and helped her focus on career goals. ‘I went, This is for me–I like this! It just kind of cleared everything out.’

‘Psychiatrists believe man is an animal, which means there’s no soul, which I think is a lie.’ The statement suggests acceptance of Scientology’s virulent anti-psychiatry stance, and a lack of experience with therapy, a fact she readily cops to. She favors a Scientology process involving a machine called an E-meter. The subject holds two can-like objects hooked up to the E-meter. ‘You know how your head feels heavy when you’re having a problem?’ Elfman says. ‘It’s actually mass that you can weigh. It’s compressed mental energy. And the E-meter sees changes in that.’ A counselor asks questions about what might be bothering you, Elfman explains, and if your response jolts the needle on the E-meter, you know you’ve found the root of your problem. ‘The counselor helps you pinpoint exactly, so there’s no maybe-it’s-this, maybe-it’s-that. There’s lightning-fast progress, because you’re handling only the charged areas. You don’t dilly-dally. What you can do in literally about a half hour will take people a year or two to do in therapy.’”

Give Me Those Cans!

Scientology regards the e-meter as a religious artifact.*snicker*
The meter is believed to reflect or indicate whether or not the confessing person has been relieved from spiritual impediment of his sins. Uh yeah…ok.

"Pal" Shown Was Travolta's Son Jett's Nanny

The e-meter, is nothing more than a cheap lie detector which can only measure electrical resistance, and is used to get personal information on Scientology members. All this information is kept on file, which can be later used against them if they decide to speak out against the church or if they leave.  You won’t see Travolta or Cruise leaving any time soon, Scientology has WAY too much poop on them. 

Scientology can deem Cruise and Travolta as PTS (potential trouble sources) and dump Cruise’s and Travolta’s careers faster than two shakes of a lamb’s tail if anything should happen that is not to Scientology’s liking.  In other words…THEY ARE STUCK. 

Some “church” huh?

Mrs. Elfman believes that this device can actually determine changes in mental energy. We’re sorry to burst your Scientology bubble Jenna, but IT CAN’T. Unfortunately, like any cultie there’s no convincing them that the lies there are being told, like that a lie detector CAN see a change in your mental energy, aren’t true. Besides Jenna has her enabler hubby, who so kindly brought her into the whole Scientology scam, to confirm her delusions.

Perhaps Jenna should actually look into just exactly what the e-meter IS and learn that anyone getting audited or doing one of their “free stress tests” can change the way the needle will read just by applying a little pressure in their grip on the cans, or even using some lotion. We’re sure she would, but clearly she’s too busy collecting dictionaries. YES, she collects dictionairies.

I can not think of anything more uninteresting to collect. But I guess Jenna needs all those dictionaires to look up her MU’S — misunderstood words. Yet another made up problem created by LRH. “Misunderstood Words” is part of L. Ron’s scam to create a “study technique” which he could use as part of his whole mind control efforts to keep people hooked on Scientology, click here for more on Study Tech and MU’S.

Speaking of Brainwash-a-rama:

“It’s a new religion. Historically every new religion has been [dismissed]. People were hanged, fed to the lions for their beliefs, so this is just a modern-day evolution of what happens when something new comes into our culture. It is not fully understood yet. I’ve seen drug addicts completely rehabilitated, I’ve seen the illiterate become literate, I’ve seen people that were so depressed and hopeless completely rehabilitate their goals in life, become happier, find partners. It’s beautiful.”

More Appropriate Name For Her Upcoming Show

“the more successful I became, the more suppression I bumped into … especially in the entertainment industry, which really is home to rabid suppression.”

“I intend to make Scientology as accessible to as many people as I can. And that is my goal,” Elfman said. To do this, she says, it is my “duty to clear the planet.”

I'm Going To Clear The Planet Yay!!!

The big kahuna of all crazy Jenna Elfman quotes comes from a 1999The Daily Radar article:

The Daily Radar web site reported that Scientology celebrity Jenna Elfman recently refused to participate in a charity autograph auction. “During the last holiday season, the Dharma & Greg star refused to take part in a celebrity autograph auction for an organization that raised money for the care of children with HIV. As a brainwashed devotee of The Church of Scientology, the bah-humbugy Elfman stated that she couldn’t support any organization that raised money for AIDS research or relief because ‘AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease.’ Get over it! They’re babies, for Buddha’s sake!!

Well that says it all, don’t yah think? Jenna thinks AIDS is a state of mind? What more can I possibly add to that? But sadly, there’s more to add.

Back to this upcoming flop/show of hers.The premise of the show goes as follows, a snippet from the Futon Critic from CBS:

“Jenna Elfman-led comedy “Accidentally on Purpose”… revolves around a San Francisco movie critic (Elfman) who finds herself accidentally pregnant after a fling with a much younger man (Jon Foster).

Excellent! Great to see Scientologists supporting such wholesome family values. Good thing Jenna’s not in the Sea Org, or she might forced to abort that baby.

We aren’t here to tell you want to do, but to encourage you to learn more about the evils of Scientology, in the hopes you will choose not to support their famous spokespeople. Scientology recruits and encourages their famous converts to speak up about the religion in the hopes of converting others. Scientology is a cult, and it’s members are being used to fund it’s various schemes and money-laundering.

How into Scientology is Jenna Elfman? Elfman was listed as a “Founding Patron” back in 2004, which means she ”donated” $40,000 to Scientology. In 2006, she and husband Bodhi are listed as “Members with Honor Status.” which should mean they donated another $100,000 to the cult.

You can clearly see the money-trail and how the money you pay to watch these celebs movies and shows end up back in the cult’s pockets.

And let’s not forget the $10 MILLION DOLLARS that Nancy Cartwright gave the cult last year or the FIVE MILLION from Kirstie Alley. And who knows what untold MILLIONS from Tom Cruise has given Scientology over the years to keep his secrets quiet.

Will Smithopened up a school AND later down the line a high school that teaches Scientology brainwashing tech.

Even more disturbing, are the donations given by the Smiths, close friends of the Cruises, who “claim” to not be Scientologists.

Just a reminder, Jada will be staring in the upcoming show Hawthorne, on TNT, where she will ironically play an RN. Don’t know about you, but that’s the night I sort socks, so I will be busy.

One more fan of the cult, John Travolta also has a new film coming out, The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3, who tragically just lost his son Jett only this past January.

Sadly, Scientology couldn’t help the Travolta’s with Jett’s AUTISM.
Jett died too young and unnecessarily, due to the cult’s teachings  and policies on psyche drugs and their inability to accept autism as real condition.

So if you think supporting Scientology is ok, then I suggest you do more homework.

Scientology... It's Worse Than You Think

Anyone can of course believe in whatever they choose, but that is NOT the problem with Scientology, paying for salvation is. Being guilty of human rights abuses, brainwashing, child and sexual abuse, tax exemption, religious cloaking, human trafficking, and bilking their members out of hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars is also a HUGE problem.

This Won't Hurt A Bit

Well just when I thought TV couldn’t get any more boring, TNT will be premiering another medical show come June. *Yawn*

Scientology fembot, Jada Pinkett Smith will be starring in the new series called “Hawthorne.” The thing that makes this show totally ironic, is that Jada Pinkett Smith will be playing an RN. Yes the school marm is taking time out from being school headmistress of her New Village Academy Scientology school, which we recently reported on. 

She will be donning a white coat and transforming herself into “Christina Hawthorne RN Heroine” (must say in booming movie voice). Man, don’t Jada and Will just LOVE playing these “save the world” parts?

Will was just in Hancock, I Am Legend and Seven Pounds.
Blech! Enough already!

TNT writes:

Following in the footsteps of Kyra Sedgwick in “The Closer” and Holly Hunter in “Saving Grace,” Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women, The Matrix Trilogy) is the latest actress to bring her talent to TNT’s arsenal of strong, complex female characters. In this character-driven medical drama told from the nurses’ point of view, she stars as Christina Hawthorne, the forceful-yet-caring director of nursing at Richmond Trinity Hospital. When a patient’s care is at risk, she will not hesitate to violate hospital protocol, defend her staff against egotistical doctors or firmly stand up to apathetic administrators who seem to have forgotten a hospital’s true purpose. Recently widowed, she also has to take on her equally important role as a mother to a willful, rebellious teenage daughter. Pinkett Smith heads a diverse cast that includes David Julian Hirsh (Lovebites), Michael Vartan (Alias), Christina Moore (90210) and Suleka Mathew (Men in Trees). She also serves as executive producer, along with Emmy®-winning creator John Masius (St. Elsewhere, Providence, Dead Like Me) and Jamie Tarses (My Boys).

Why do I find the part she plays SO ironic? Because Scientology’s beliefs include NOT taking any psyche drugs of any kind and often frown on the medical community as a whole, preferring their own “scientific methods.”  So does this mean she will not be shown administering any drugs on the show? Or will she not be present when someone is administering drugs on the show? Or is she going to teach the staff Scientology “touch assists”? If a drug addict comes in the hospital, will she can guide them to Narconon for a detox using mega doses of vitamins, oil and days in a sauna? (Scientology’s Purification Rundown and what Katie went on several times).

Or perhaps if a patient needs psychiatric care, she can send them over to the CCHR’s  Psychiatry Industry of Death Exhibit. (The CCHR is a Scientology front group whose goal is to “obliterate psychiatry”).

Instead of a defibrillator, maybe she can use an e-meter, aka “the cans”.  Scientology followers (which we at Glosslip have concluded Jada is) believe that if there is anything is wrong with them mentally or physically…not only did they “pull it in” themselves, but they can ”audit” out their problems and ill feelings on the e-meter. Then once the needle on the e-meter “floats”, they will no longer be labeled “PTS” (a potential trouble source).

Sounds kind of preposterous huh? Welcome to Scientology baby!

Bizarrely enough, that’s just a SMALL part of the overall kooky-ness of Scientology. In the interest of space and time, we won’t get into all the specifics on founder, sci-fi writer and snake-oil salesman L. Ron Hubbard, or the wacky story of body thetans clinging to Scientologist’s bodies, as told in OT III, or the sadness of their fake navy, para military sect, the  Sea Organizationand all the human rights abuses ect… that husband “I am not a Scientologist” Will and Jada support by dumping butt loads of money into.

This is just a short little article to let people know, that come June,  Hawthorne is on it’s way, and soon after, hopefully on it’s way out.

On a more serious note, to support this show, is to support Scientology. How can part of her paycheck NOT be going towards the new Scientology companion school that her and Will just announced that they are going to build in the near future? Doesn’t seem possible, does it?

Will and Jada can argue all they want these schools are not Scientology schools, but for those of us who’ve investigated the connections, we know the truth.

Suffice it to say, when you employ Scientologist teachers, have PR flack Pat Kingsley (Tom Cruise’s former PR gal) fielding all media inquiries about the school, and proudly proclaim using L. Ron Hubbard tech, it can only mean one thing: kids are being exposed to body thetan excising, Xenu-fearing, Tom Cruise lovin’, anti-psychiatry spewing, Scientology whackadoodles.

Unfortunately, part of the job of writing about celebs is keeping current, and we have further damaging details beginning to emerge.

While the NYC coroner announced his autopsy findings this morning were inconclusive, stating we’d have to wait for toxicology reports for more detailed information about what caused Heath’s death, there are new reports stating “packets of drugs” were found in Heath’s apartment, and police are testing a $20 dollar bill which was rolled “suspiciously” and had powder residue.

More and more, this story is starting to sound like an accidental overdose, perhaps with Heath combining prescription meds, OTC meds and now, possibly illicit drugs in his system to create a deadly and toxic combination. We also learned last night, Heath was battling pneumonia at the time of his death, which may have also compromised his immune system.

Coincidentally, we are coming up on the one-year anniversary of Anna Nicole Smith death. If you recall, Anna also died of a deadly combination of prescription drugs which were mixed with over-the-counter medication she was taking to battle cold and flu symptoms.

The one striking lesson emphasized over and over in the wake of Anna’s death was how dangerous it is to mix medications without the advice of a doctor. Even Casey Calvert, the guitarist from Hawthorne Heights, ended up being ruled an accidental overdose after he too mixed a lethal combination of medicines in his vulnerable system.

Heath may have been suffering from depression, stress and anxiety (anti-anxiety meds were found in his apartment) but based on the scene when Heath was found, it is unlikely he was TRYING to take his own life.

That’s little comfort to those who are mourning him today.

Well, I hate to say I told you so (no I don’t, I actually enjoy it a bit) but it seems this celeb death WAS full of mysterious circumstances, and what I mean by that is, another rock n’ roller died of a drug overdose.

Hawthorne Heights guitarist Casey Calvert’s toxicology report shows he died of a drug overdose cause by a combination of “opiates and the antidepressant citalopram and the anti-anxiety medication clonozepam.” It was an accidental overdosing, but I am sure that provides zero comfort to his family, friends, bandmates and fans.

Based on the level of vitriol that was hurled at me (read the comments on the original post for backstory), Casey must have been an exceptionally well-loved young man, full of talent and promise. I am sorry he died, but this sad story is further proof that fame and money often contribute to excess and poor judgment.

Upon Casey’s death, his bandmates issued this ironically prophetic statement “”We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal.”

This emphatic statement is EXACTLY why I felt this story needed to be addressed. Past empirical data shows young stars who die suddenly are rarely “not doing something illegal” and it’s idiotic to profess loudly they weren’t until all the facts in the case have come to light. It makes Casey’s memory tainted and those people making the statements look stupid. Plus, the fans must now feel the embarrassment over their chest-thumping and hand-wringing about Casey’s innocence, when in fact, his death was caused by his own negligence to look after himself.

I expect each and every one of the knuckleheads who came over wishing death and bad karma on me to apologize. I’ll be here tapping my foot impatiently, waiting.

No I won’t. In fact, I feel bad even pointing this out. But it’s a good lesson for young people to realize that old farts like me know some shizz about some shizz. I appreciate and admire your fan worship. Casey would be proud and most likely touched by how loyal you are. Do his memory a favor though, stay the F*CK away from drugs. Seriously, living to see another day isn’t a failure, it’s a gift. Embrace your gift each day.

Update: Just to be fair, here’s an article that elaborates how rare this case of drug interaction death is. This does put it in to perspective, clearly Casey was unaware how dangerous it was to mix Vicodin and antidepressants. You can never be too careful.

Call me a skeptic, or a pessimist or even a hateful misanthrope, but why do they bother lying to us (us being the public) when they know eventually we will find out the truth? Delusional.

First up, Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 80’s hair metal band Quiet Riot. QR had a huge hit with “Cum On Feel The Noize” and not much else. But hey, it was the 80’s, it was hair metal, what more do you want? Sadly Kevin was found dead in his Las Vegas home on Sunday afternoon. No known cause for his death was given. Kevin was 52. Certainly no spring chicken, but without a history of serious illness or complicating health concerns, why would anyone expect an otherwise healthy guy to die at 52? With no known cause. Don’t misunderstand me, I realize it takes time to determine *exactly* what caused someone’s death. But there are ALWAYS clues. And with famous people some clues are a little more obvious that others. If ya’ know what I’m sayin, and I think you do.

Next up on the coroner’s roster is Casey Calvert. Casey is the rhythm guitarist for the band Hawthorne Heights and was 25 26 when he died. According to the band’s website, Casey was found dead on the band’s tour bus and that he died in his sleep. They asked the public and media to refrain from speculation out of respect, and stated emphatically Casey was not doing anything illegal. So far news reports are pointing to acute asthma as a possible cause.

Ok, I’ll admit I was only vaguely aware of who Hawthorne Heights were before this. I am old, and old people don’t listen to rock music. Therefore I have no idea what kind of shenanigans this band gets into. I mean were this Amy Winehouse (I can’t believe she’s STILL alive) and they tried to imply she died of natural causes – well – I would gouge out my own eyes. Still…another rock star found dead after the biggest party weekend of the year, something doesn’t add up here. Oh, and 25 26-year olds don’t die in their sleep. Give me a break. Choke on their own vomit? Yes. Slip into a heroin-induced coma? Of course. Have their heart explode from too much cocaine? Sure, that I’ll buy, but sleep to death? Um no.

Casey sadly may have succumbed to an asthma attack. Acute asthma is no joking matter, but otherwise healthy people rarely die from it. Also, if this young many had asthma so bad he could die from it, why would they leave him alone on a tour bus? WAY too many questions.

And lastly, we have Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor’s death to consider. Sean was just 24 when he died last night due to complications stemming from a gunshot wound in his leg. Unfortunately, the wound was to a major artery and Sean lost too much blood and was never able to recover from the shock to his system. Authorities are implying Sean was shot by an intruder in his Miami home, though this has not been officially confirmed, police suspect Sean was shot during an attempted burglary.

Reports have also stated this was the SECOND break-in attempt in the last eight days. Did the robber forget something, or is there more to this story? Sean Taylor was no stranger to the law and was involved in a couple controversial events; an arrest for DUI (he was later acquitted), and an armed robbery charge. Ultimately Sean was able to resolve his legal woes without any jail time.

Many of his teammates have stated a change in the young and talented football player and were shocked to hear about this latest tragedy. In a perfect world, Taylor would not have been at his home in Miami during the attempted break-in, but he had been sidelined due to an injury two weeks earlier.

We won’t know the true story about any of these tragic deaths for weeks to come. Why? Because A.) it takes time to uncover the truth and B.) the PR machine is always running. Behind everyone of these sad stories are people who are twisting and manipulating the truth for their own purposes and in turn creating the kind of ridiculous controversy they proclaim they are trying to avoid. How much you wanna bet none of them died of natural causes?
