Scientology Spokesman Tommy Davis Walks Out On Nightline Interview Part 2

Queen — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:07:07 +0000

This past Friday evening, ABC’s Nightline aired part two of their Inside Scientologyseries with anchor Martin Bashir. If you missed it, the videos are posted on ABC’s website. It is a MUST see.
Part One is here, and Part Two is here.

Friday’s show was a continuation from Thursday night’s interview with ex-Scientology top executives Marty Rathbun, and Amy Scobee, as well as ex member Bruce Hines. They were all former members of Scientology’s Sea Organization.

Bashir also continued his interview with Scientology spokesman Tommy Davis who ended ripping off his microphone, and storming off the set. We will get to that juicy part later.

ABC Anchor Martin Bashir

Friday evening’s coverage focused on the celebrities in Scientology. Tom Cruise was the main focus. Tommy Davis claimed that Scientology does not given special treatment to celebrities, but I beg to differ. Cruise considers cult leader David Miscavige one of his closest friends and Miscavige not only attended Cruise’s wedding, but he also tagged along on Tom and Katie’s honeymoon. Doesn’t everyone bring their “church” leader on their honeymoon with them?

Cruise is not only BFF’s with David Miscavige, but he was also a huge advocate for Scientology. I say “was” because Cruise has really simmered down since his couch jumping days. His leaked Scientology video, his insults against Brooke Shields for taking medication for her postpartum depression, and his famous “glib” interview with Matt Lauer has put a serious damper on his career and his popularity.

Matt You Are So Glib!

If you ask just about anyone on the street these days of their opinion of Tom Cruise, most will say he is a kook.

Cruise is trying to re-boost his career, by not speaking publicly about Scientology and trying to show the world how “normal” his life is with his family. But are people buying it? I doubt it. Cruise is DEEP into Scientology. He co-founded the NY Rescue Workers and Firefighters Detoxification Program after 911. Again, this program is EXACTLY the same as Scientology’s Purification Rundown and their Narconon program.

Cruise also lobbied in Washington with a quest to have every school in the US teaching Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s “tech.” Applied Scholastics is the front name used in the schools, but it is without a doubt Scientology. Applied Scholastics has already infiltrated some of the schools in the US. I am not talking about Scientology schools like Delphi Academy and Will Smith’s New Village Academy, but rather regular public schools in our towns that are teaching children Scientology tech.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, they started teaching Scientology tech in Prescott Middle School in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Applied Scholastics representatives assured them that the program was secular. A couple of quotes from that story posted on the Scientology V. Education website:

The Baton Rouge school district agreed to pay $20, 000 a year to Applied Scholastics for a licensing fee and to hire a teacher from the nonprofit to help teach the course. Costs were offset by seed money that Travolta contributed and by donations from local businesses. Parents were enlisted to volunteer as tutors.

Dave Touretsky, a research professor at Carnegie Mellon University, that’s only because the academic experts don’t know the intricacies of Scientology.Study tech is “covert religious instruction” and therefore unconstitutional to teach in public schools, said Touretsky, who has studied Scientology and written extensively about Hubbard’s study skills curriculum.

Scientologists will use the program at Prescott to sell the program to other struggling communities, Touretsky said, and to promote the image of Scientology.

Rest assured, the teachers and the people in that town have NO idea what they are teaching these kids, nor understand how dangerous the tech can be for their children. Former Scientology member Monica Pignotti can tell you just exactly how dangerous the study tech is. Click here to read up on it yourself. I am not sure if Prescott Middle School has continued teaching this tech or not. I hope town officials and teachers have done their homework by now.

So a word of caution people, if your child’s school is approached with Applied Scholastics or any anti-drug pamphlets that contain the initials “CCHR” written anywhere on the pamphlet, please stay clear! The CCHR is another Scientology front group. Also stay away from the names Way To Happiness, or The Drug Free Marshals, just to name a few.

Scientology Can Use Some Body Language Courses!

These names are are ALL Scientology front groups. Sorry to sway away from ABC’s interview, but any chance I have to make people aware that Scientology is trying to infiltrate our children’s schools, I feel compelled to make mention of it.

So back to the interview…

Former Scientology Sea Org member, Amy Scobee who was one of Scientology’s top execs and also one of the people who spoke out in the St. Petersburg Times articles, spoke with Bashir about the Purification Rundown.

Amy Scobee, Blonde On Bottom Right Hand Corner

She tells Bashir a horrifying story about when she was MADE to go on the Purification Rundown as part of a punishment within the Sea Org. Amy explains how daily she was ingesting 5,000 milligrams of niacin, exercising (usually a treadmill), and sitting in a sauna for five hours, for EIGHT MONTHS. She said she had“grey stuff ” coming out of her pores. I would imagine she was also ingesting oil, as this is another part of the Purification Rundown. As horrible as it was for Amy to be on this whacko science regimen, (which does not have any scientific data to back up its claims of actually detoxing the body at all) it was one of the things that woke Amy up and forced her decision to leave Scientology. And we are sure glad she is out. Bravo Amy!

Of course Scientology denies Amy’s story and says that the Purification Rundown is used for “religious reasons” by members. Hmmm.
Scientology is pretty crafty. They use different names for the Purification Rundown, like the NY Firefighters Detox Program, Narconon, and Criminon, and offer this program to the public and ask towns for funding using the town’s tax payer’s dollars. Exactly what they do with Applied Scholastics, and The Drug Free Marshals etc…

They say that the program is secular and has NOTHING to do with Scientology. But yet when Scientology is pushed up against the wall, (as they were with Amy’s claims) they claim that the Purification Rundown is for “religious reasons.”

So how can they possibly claim that their front group programs are secular and have nothing to do with Scientology, when they are IDENTICAL to the same programs they are calling ”religious”?
Confusing? That is their intention.

Back to Rathbun…
Marty Rathbun continued his interview with Bashir and said that he himself has “audited” both Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Boy… I would love to know what is in their files! Of course everything contained within a Scientology member’s file is supposed to be confidential. That is…confidential until you cross Scientology. After the St. Petersburg Times articles came out with ex member’s stories, Scientology published personal information on Amy Scobee, Tom DeVocht, Mike Rinder and Marty Rathbun in a 80 page issue of their Freedom Magazine.

Scientology even gave the “defectors” nicknames like the King Pin, The Adulteress, and so on. It was not only the MOST childish thing that I have ever read by an organization, it was rife with lies about the ex-members and Scientology’s spin. Proving once again that Scientology’s Fair Game policy is alive and well.

Although it was not brought up in the interview, Rathbun is known as an independent Scientologist. And there are also Freezoners. Freezoners are members who have left the organized “church,” but still want to practice Scientology. There are groups of Freezoners here and there world wide. Scientology now considers these people who have previously dedicated years of their lives and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on trying to climb up the Scientology’s Bridge their evil enemies. They are considered as SP’s, or suppressive persons.

Freezoners left the church as they felt that L. Ron Hubbard’s Tech was being “squirreled” by cult leader David Miscavige. To ”squirrel the tech” means to change the writings of L. Ron Hubbard in any way. Miscavige has changed the tech many times. He has changed it, repackaged it, and told the members that the old books were now incorrect, and that they had to buy the “newer” version. This was done to keep more money coming into Scientology. Sadly, members actually fell for it.

Changing any of L. Ron Hubbard’s tech is considered a big no-no in Scientology and many current members consider David Miscavige to be a suppressive person. Why they continue to stay in the “church” is a mystery. But slowly, that seems to be changing.

People who are Freezoners, also did not agree with the way the “church” was being run and could no longer stand all the abuses and illegal activities that were going on, so they decided to leave the “church” and set up business elsewhere, and yes it is in fact a business. People who want to practice Scientology outside the cult still have to pay for auditing and courses to whomever is offering them. What they charge is nowhere near the hundreds of thousands of dollars that organized Scientology charges. Which is where Rathbun comes in. He was one of Scientology’s top auditors before he left, and he continues to audit people today.

If today’s organized Scientology continues to crumble, Rathbun can end up with more “disciples” to audit. Perhaps he is hopeful for Travolta and Cruise to leave the cult and audit with him once again. Not likely though, especially not for Cruise. Cruise considers Rathbun an enemy of the cult and and a huge SP. Cruise does not appreciate what Rathbun is saying about David Miscavige and the abuses of the cult.

Tom Cruise’s lawyer sent a statement to ABC Nightline and stated that even though Cruise is aware of the things being said about David Miscavige, Cruise does not believe it.

BFF’s For Ever!

Really Tom? Miscavige is ruining your career in case you didn’t notice. How many people is it going to take for you to wake up and understand that David Miscavige is an abusive tyrant who only wanted you for PR purposes to promote the cult and oh yeah…take your money?

And as Bashir pointed out to Davis in the interview…these stories of abuse from ex-members were from randomized people. And of course Davis quipped back to Bashir with “Well that’s how it is made to look.” Sure it is Tommy.

Rathbun was in Scientology for 27 years, and his brain is totally immersed in the tech. He still believes that con man L. Ron Hubbard is the best thing since sliced bread and that his writings are still WORD.

Giddy Up L. Ron!

Rathbun never completely left Scientology, and he probably never will. But we are awful glad he came forward to speak out, as well as the others. Many more are likely to follow.

After 27 years, and being one of Miscavige’s top lieutenants,
Rathbun is still programmed to live, eat and breathe Scientology. Rathbun also thinks David Miscavige should be made “to pay the piper” for all the people he has abused. Of course Rathbun himself admitted to being an abuser, but he never mentioned that he should pay the piper as well. Hmmm.

Freezoners who continue to practice Scientology, still mean they are being brainwashed, no matter how you cut it. It’s the way the courses, the auditing and the drills were set up by Hubbard, at least there isn’t a Sea Org and David Miscavige is out of the picture. But hey, people can believe in what they want, as long as it doesn’t hurt and abuse others and as long as it doesn’t end up being another
abusive cult off-shoot.

So getting back to Scientology spokesman Mr.Tommy Davis.
As I mentioned in the last article on this series, Tommy Davis’ body language was VERY telling. Again, I noticed he sat with tightly clenched hands, laughed nervously, and at one point was sitting with his arms and legs totally crossed. He looked like he was wrapped so tight, that you couldn’t pull a pin out if his butt with a tractor.
Bashir proceeds to ask Tommy about the e-meter and HIS own personal beliefs. Tommy was not very convincing when it came to the e-meter. The conversation went as follows:

Bashir: Has the e-meter ever been subjected to randomized clinical trials to assess it’s efficacy?

Davis: I have no idea. I don’t know why it would be. It works in Scientology and that’s what people use it. I don’t know why it would be subjected to random clinical trials.

Bashir: Because it’s a… mechanism for therapeutic care you just said…

Davis: In a religion.

Bashir: But has it ever been tested objectively is what I’m asking?

Davis: I mean it gets used every day by Scientology counselors.

Bashir: I’m not asking that. I’m asking…

Davis: To my knowledge, no. … And as far as evidence of the e-meter and its efficacy, the evidence of that is in those Scientologists who have used it to great benefit. And as far as the Church of Scientology is concerned, it’s the only evidence that matters, is the people and the results.

“In a religion?” Then why is the e-meter used for Scientology “Stress Tests” on the general public?

Typical Stress Test Set Up On Sidewalk

I wish Bashir asked Davis that question and I also wish there was an e-meter present at Bashir’s interview. Of course Tommy would never agree to be put “on the cans.”I also doubt that Scientology would ever agree to have an e-meter present at ANY interview.

It’s hard to believe that the e-meter has never been tested objectively or questioned. It obviously instills fear in so many of its members because of it being an actual lie detector. It also enslaves members. And although I am sure Scientologists sign all sorts of waivers, using an e-meter on cult members seems not only highly questionable, but illegal. Attention Government!

The e-meter is supposedly considered a ”religious artifact” by Scientology. FYI, they tell their members to buy TWO e-meters. (one for back up of course) E-meters cost THOUSANDS of dollars. Boy, talk about a scam.

Keep in mind, as I mentioned before, these e-meters are present on all of the Scientology “Stress Test” tables that you may see set up outside one of their “orgs.” Sadly, you can see them at flea markets, street fairs, or just set up on a sidewalk in a town. They even set up outside Walmart! You won’t see the word Scientology anywhere on their tables though. I thought I read by law, that each e-meter used by the public is supposed to carry a label on the back of it in which it states that it is used for “entertainment purposes only”. That’s funny, I thought Davis claimed it was used for “religious” purposes? Confused? Again…. Scientology’s intention.

Scientology claims that they can cure what ails you with auditing, and this has been recorded by some who have taken the Stress Test. Deception personified. Anything to get “fresh meat” into their doors.

After people take a stress test, they try to get the person to buy a Dianetics book and maybe visit their local Scientology “org” to take a “personality test.” They will also ask for your personal information at that point. After the test, they will look over your results and tell you that you are not a very happy person, and you have problems, no matter how happy you are and that they can help you. They will also ask you to watch a film, and then perhaps some time you may want to take some of their ”communication courses” that will help you, and then eventuall get you on to auditing. That’s where the brainwashing begins and that’s when they will never leave you alone once they have your personal information. Tell me how this is this still legal again?

So back to the juicy part of the ABC’s interview…
Why did Bashir say to Tommy Davis to get him so hot under the collar? So hot, that he got up and walked out. He asked him about his beliefs. Most people when they are asked about their beliefs or about their religion, will gladly tell you all about it. Especially someone who is supposed to be a representative for a church.

But let me first explain.. If you are a Scientologist, you are not allowed to discuss your “religious beliefs” or where you are on Scientology’s Bridge To Total Freedom with non Scientologists. You can discuss your phony “wins”. But that’s about it. Scientologists are not allowed to discuss any problems they are having, doubts or say anything that can be considered negative against Scientology. If a member did discuss these things, and someone were to report it, than that person would be considered PTS. (potential trouble source). This can mean MORE hours of auditing or a “sect check” if you are in the Sea Org, which is interrogation. It can also lead to family disconnection of not corrected.

As stated before, Scientology’s e-meter works like a lie detector as confirmed by ex member Bruce Hines when he was talking with Bashir. Of course many ex members who have left that didn’t continue with Scientology as a Freezoner will also tell you that the e-meter is nothing more than a lie detector. If you lie while you are “on the cans” it will certainly show. It has nothing to do with “engrams” or removing body thetans from your body as Scientologists are convinced to believe. It’s a damn lie detector.

Pretty snakey of Hubbard. Scientology brainwashes members and puts them on an e-meter to find out all their intimate secrets and then puts all that information into a file and then blackmails ex members by leaking their personal information if they decide to leave and speak out against the cult. What a lovely “church” indeed.

FYI, Hubbard wasn’t the one who invented the e-meter it was actually Volney Mathison. And another FYI….most of Hubbard’s babblings are gleaned from various other religions and smooshed all together. Buddhism being one. Hubbard stole everything from everywhere.

So getting back to Tommy and Bashir.
Bashir wanted to know if Tommy believed in the story of XENU. (pronounced zeenoo) For those of you who do not know who Xenu is, the story of Xenu can be found anywhere on the internet. The story on the internet is actually the EXACT story written by founder L. Ron Hubbard. It is also level three or OTIII, on Scientology’s Bridge to Total Freedom. Which we at Glosslip call the Bridge to Nowhere and Financial Ruin.

There are two ways to climb up the Bridge, but we are not going to get into all that. But one way in order to start climbing up the eight levels Scientology’s Bridge, a member must be deemed “clear” before he can be an “OT” and start up the Bridge. This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and many hours of auditing, drills and courses in order to get up to that level. This can take many years.

Scientology also tells it’s members that if they were to read OTIII without going the proper path, (called “free wheeling” in scio-speak) that they can catch a pneumonia and possibly die. I kid you not. They also tell their members that some members have become very ill while doing OTIII. And before all you Scientologists out there try to defend OTIII, and say that most religions have crazy stories attached to them, which I totally agree….. Two things.

Number one…. Scientology is not a religion, it is a business, and number two… I think all the stories attached to religions are ALL eye rollers.

When Bashir asked Tommy if he believed in the story of Xenu and volcanoes and such, Tommy said:

“Martin, I am not going to discuss, the disgusting perversions of Scientology beliefs that can be found now commonly on the internet, and be put in the position of talking about things for ah, ah, ah, that, ah, talking about things that are so, fundamentally offensive, to Scientologists to discuss.”

Disgusting perversions of Scientology?
Why not see for yourself? OTIII is on Wikipedia and many other places on the internet for free.

To help you understand the story of Xenu… A YouTuber posted a video which tells the story of Xenu via South Park. (which Scientology had squashed and taken off the air of course) Click here to watch it.

Now although the show South Park is of course a comedy, the OTIII they recited was not a joke nor a spoof. It was told exactly the way it was written by Hubbard. This particular YouTube video, brilliantly included the actual 1967 lecture by L. Ron Hubbard himself who is reciting the story of Xenu and OTIII. It’s Hubbard’s own voice. This video was an excellent way to prove that the story of Xenu and OTIII is in fact told correctly. Any ex member who has done OTIII will also tell you that what is on the internet is EXACTLY the same as the OTIII level they went through and paid for. ASK THEM YOURSELF.

Now why do you think Scientology doesn’t want it’s members to know or hear about Xenu? Remember their claims of getting ill?
Now what if a member happened to hear OTIII and realized that they didn’t get ill from hearing it or reading it and found out what Scientology told them was a lie? How would Scientology look then? Check it out for yourself. Look it up and read it, or watch the video I suggested. See if you get ill! *snicker*

OTIII is such an outlandish piece of sci fi idiocy, that Scientology also fears that if their members were to hear it, they would stop paying to go up the Bridge. What member would pay ALL that money to go up the Bridge if they knew OTIII was about space aliens that were dumped in a volcano? Not too many.

Now you are probably thinking, then why doesn’t Miscavige just change OTIII or tone the story down a bit? Well if he did that, he would have to change the entire Bridge. Reason being…. in OTIII, you learn that your body is infested with body thetans which came out of the volcanos. As you are go farther up the Bridge to the upper levels, members find out that they have even MORE body thetans attached to them that they have to get rid of via auditing on the e-meter. (of course this is more money for Scientology) So getting rid of OTIII, would not be an option. Besides the fact that OTIII is what Scientology is all about with the exception of their communication courses.

So after Bashir tries to calm Davis down (and I am paraphrasing a bit) by saying he is just trying to understand his beliefs and that he thinks he has been acting appropriately during the interview and didn’t try to mock Davis in any way…. he then asks Davis again about Xenu.
Davis replied angrily:

“I’m gonna stop you. If you’re gonna ask me that question again, and you’re going to repeat things about volcanoes and this kind of thing, and so on and so forth, I will stand up and walk out Martin. Because, because what you’re doing by doing that, is you are intentionally asking me things which you know I find offensive. And you’re insisting me on asking of them, so I’m asking you one more time…”

Too bad Bashir didn’t ask Davis why there is a volcano pictured on the front cover of all Scientology Dianetics books and why it is used as Dianetic’s logo. These books with the volcanoes can be seen in every single Scientology display window across the USA and worldwide.

Of course Bashir (my new hero) asks Davis again about Xenu, and that is when Davis stands up, rips off his mike, throws it down and walks out of the interview. Hmmm, seems like Davis could have used some of Scientology’s communication courses. *snicker*
After all, Hubbard stated that “communication is the universal solvent”. Uh… yeah ok Lafayette.

Keep in mind that Davis was most likely drilled extensively by Miscavige before this interview, as with every other interview he does. But nobody really knows what Miscavige is telling Davis when it comes to the story of Xenu. We don’t know if he is in on the scam, or where Davis is in his Scientology teachings. Davis is trying to convince people that it is offensive to speak about his religious beliefs, when it actuality, it is only a ploy to continue to keep Scientology’s scam a secret.

But one thing for sure, no matter how much Davis is drilled before these interviews, he still sports very telling negative body language, he is way too defensive about Scientology beliefs, and he always ends up putting his foot in his mouth.

Bashir was certainly “at cause” over Davis. Davis walking out of that interview, not only made Scientology look very bad, but I was kind of surprised about the REASON why he walked out. WHY?

Davis was interviewed by John Roberts on CNN a while back, and Roberts also asked Davis about the story of Xenu. Davis said that it didn’t sound familiar to him and he was laughing and smirking as if to imply the whole thing was ridiculous.

But THEN not very long ago….. Davis did another interview with Nathan Bacca for KESQ. Bacca asks Davis MANY questions and also asked Davis about the story of Xenu, and Davis said he WAS familiar with the material, and again said he was offended by Bacca asking him about religious beliefs. *scratches head*
This YouTube video, shows a good cross section of Tommy Davis and his ever changing story of OTIII which was reported by an Australian news channel.

So what gives Tommy? Are you NOT keeping track of what you are saying during these interviews? Or are you hoping that people didn’t see your prior interviews?

No worries Tommy…
because we are keeping track of everything you say for you. It’s all over the internet. on forums and all over YouTube.

Between Tommy Davis’s footbullets, Scientology’s court cases, and a group called Anonymous who protest the cult MONTHLY and globally, Scientology has seen better days. And Tommy…. every time you stick you foot in your mouth, people everywhere are watching, recording, talking and writing about it. You have to be getting pretty tired of the taste of foot.

Bashir ended the interview with a recap and at the very end he asked viewers if they thought that Scientology should keep their tax exemption status and to go to the ABC website and leave their opinions. At that point I felt like I was at a football game, as I stood straight up from the couch and cheered ” YES!!”
It was the perfect “bazingo” at the end of the series.

Glosslip would like to thank ABC and Martin Bashir once again for their wonderful coverage on Scientology. We hope this is only the beginning of shedding more light on this abusive cult, and hope it wakes up our Government and law officials enough to finally step in and say enough is enough.

To all members who are still in Scientology. If you are having doubts, please know that you are not alone. If you have come to the realization that something has gone terribly wrong with your “church”… again, you are not alone. Many members are leaving and orgs are struggling to stay open. Don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution.

If you need help leaving Scientology, or you just need someone to talk to…
call 1-866-XSEAORG. This is a toll free call.

You Can Do It! Be Free!

Speaking of leaving Scientology…

Glosslip would like to congratulate Paul Haggis who has just left Scientology! Paul was a member for over THIRTY FIVE YEARS. He is a screen writer, a director, has won Oscars, and is a civil and human rights activist. Paul wrote a letter to Tommy Davis. In that letter, he complained about San Diego Org’s public support of Proposition 8, about Davis denying the existence of family disconnection when he was interviewed, and how he was also against Scientology using ex member’s private information to attack critics. To read his actual letter he sent to Tommy Davis, you can find a copy of it on WWP. Click here.
Welcome out Paul!

And as always…
Many thanks to Anonymous for their continued tenacity in fighting this cult. Their quest is to stop the abuses of Scientology and totally dismantle the Sea Org and to have fun along the way.
I totally support their fight.
I would also like to thank Anonymous for their Why We Protest website, their Why We Protest Wiki, (which is a WEALTH of information) and for a whole lot of lulz!
Yummy cake to you all!

Kevin Federline, Chump Who Left A Dump

Queen — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:08:42 +0000

No I am not talking about his bathroom habits or Britney.

It looks like K-Fed is a real dirty bird and may end up as a jail bird if he doesn’t pay up!

TMZ posted pictures on their website which revealed the total mess and supposed damage that K-Fed left behind when he moved out of his rental property in Tarzana Ca. Gee K-Fed, just because you lived in Tarzana, didn’t mean you had to live like Tarzan. *snicker*

So I guess it is a case of white trash, leaving trash. No surprise there.

Although TMZ may have exaggerated things a bit, the place did look pretty darn unsavory. Most of the pictures they posted were kind of boring though. *Yawn*
But we included the two pictures that made K-Fed look like a total slob.

Laundry Day At The Federlines?

Other pictures from TMZ were almost laughable, like a few tiles missing here and there, or paint wear on the cabinets with a few knobs missing.

There was one picture of an outdoor lamp that looks like there was a bird’s nest behind it. Not sure where they were going with that one. Did they think K-Fed built the nest? Oh that’s right, he is a dirty bird. *snicker*

Of course the mini fridge was pretty disgusting and there was a myriad of ciggy butts all over the property and a busted lamp and some chips in assorted things here and there.

So I guess collectively it must have looked pretty darn bad to the owners. So bad, that the owners are asking for over $100,000.00 in payback for repairs and back rent. Yup! K-Fed skipped out on SIX MONTHS rent. Whoopsy!

Popeater wrote:

One-time rapper Kevin Federline, aka “K-Fed,” is being asked to pay over $100,000 in unpaid rent and damages for a ransacked home, TMZ reports.

Aren’t the parents supposed to clean up after the kids? One-time rapper Kevin Federline, aka “K-Fed,” is being asked to pay over $100,000 in unpaid rent and damages for a ransacked home, TMZ reports.

K-Fed has been accused of trashing a Tarzana, California home where he lived until this past May. The owners also claim Federline disappeared unexpectedly without paying his last 6 months of rent.

The owners are demanding $110,661 in damages and unpaid accommodation. The list of what has been wrecked is as bizarre as it is exhaustive. Via TMZ:

- Cigarette butts and empty beer bottles filling the gutters,
- A broken beer dispenser on the barbecue island,
- Cracked light covers,
- Mangled light posts,
- Cracked tiles,
- Drawings on the walls,
- Dead plants and trees due to failure to upkeep,
- Unapproved conversion of a room into a studio,
- Malfunctioning dishwasher with broken baskets,
- Smoke detectors that have been dismantled,
- Oil damage on the front driveway,
- Unapproved tinting of master bathroom windows,
- Missing garage door opener,
and the pièce de résistance
- Permanent spit marks on the exterior paint! No camels were reported on site.

The letter threatens to take K-Fed to court if he refuses to pay.

Federline, 31, is a dancer, rapper, fashion model and, ahem, actor. He was married to pop princess Britney Spears for two years before their highly-publicized divorce. They were also involved in an ongoing custody battle over sons Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline. There is no word about how clean the boys’ rooms are.

“Permanent spit marks” Huh? Maybe from chewing tobacco? Does K-Fed or his buddies partake in a little pinch between the cheek and gums? (that’s chewing tobacco for all you non-rednecks) if not, does spit actually stain paint? Ewww!

And lately, K-Fed has not exactly been the picture of health either, he is really packing on the pounds as you can clearly see.

I have read rumors that he was supposed to be on the upcoming VH1 Celebrity Fit Club Season 7, but then he denied those rumors.

But guess what? Celebrity Fit Club has just confirmed it.

Can it be that K-Fed is packing on the pounds on purpose so he can have a paying gig? It certainly looks that way to me. It seems awfully ironic that a person who has always looked very svelte, suddenly packs on the pounds and then is going to be on Celebrity Fit Club. Hmmm… I smell a rat.

Of course this is all speculation on my part. But I wouldn’t put it past Sean and Jayden’s baby daddy to supersize himself for the cash. Yes of course I know that the pictures prove he is portly now, but did he graze on food just so he can get on the show?

And if so… it further proves that reality TV has little reality.

He will also be appearing with his other ex, Shar Jackson as well as perpetual loser and Whitney Houston’s ex,Bobby Brown.

Egad, “Celebrity Fit Club” will do anything for ratings. Perhaps they can bring back Dustin Diamond (I hate Screech) with K-Fed and they can duke it out in the ring together. Now your talking ratings! I don’t know who I would root for. It’s a toss up, but a double KO would be totally SWEET!

But seriously…

It’s time to grow up KEVIN. You’re over thirty, your career *cough* is toast, and your living like a slob. Your parenting skills have become pretty questionable now, (well, I should say have worsen) since you are not paying your bills and you turned a rental property into a total sh*t hole in your wake. Not cool when there are kids involved.

So to K-Fed… time to nut up or shut up.

Andrew Morton Speaks Out On New Angelina Jolie Book

Wed, 06 May 2009 16:53:10 +0000

News broke yesterday about famed celebrity biographer Andrew Morton’s new book subject, Angelina Jolie. While we had sources confirm this to us a while back, Glosslip is like the Fort Knox of secrets and we keep ours close to the vest.

Andrew Morton, who made headlines in 2008 with his controversial unauthorized Tom Cruise biography, is embarking on what might be the biggest challenge in his literary career. And that’s saying something, considering Morton is the man behind the Princess Diana story, telling of her private pain as Princess of Wales, as well as having made a permanent enemy of Madonna by revealing her many controlling ways and exposing the behind the scenes secrets of Presidential mistress Monica Lewinsky. Morton has secured his place in the best-seller hall of fame with his series of thoughtfully researched (and unauthorized) biographies.

We were able to track down the reclusive writer and get a statement on this new book (which we CAN’T WAIT to read). When I asked Morton why he chose the relatively young, but attention-getting Jolie, Morton had this to say:

“AJ is one of the most fascinating women on the planet. Hers has been an extraordinary journey and it is an extraordinary story. I am looking forward to telling it.”

Short and sweet, but concise. Angelina, already known for her wild behavior, strange relationships and humanitarian work, became an international celebrity sensation when she was linked to mega star Brad Pitt (when he was still married!)

There has been endless speculation and fascination surrounding Jolie’s role in the demise of one of Hollywood’s golden couples, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who divorced in 2005 coincidentally, after Pitt and Jolie teamed up to work on the hit movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Here’s more on the new project and Morton from the Telegraph:

Miss Jolie’s colourful life will provide plenty of material. Twice divorced, she has had a long-running feud with actor father Jon Voight and has adopted a string of children.

Professionally, she has risen to become one of Hollywood’s leading actresses, starring in films including Lara Croft Tomb Raider, A Mighty Heart, The Good Shepherd and Changeling. It was on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith that she met her now partner, Brad Pitt, with whom she has adopted several children.

The couple are also famed for their humanitarian work in the world’s trouble spots and Miss Jolie is a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.

Mr Morton’s unauthorised book about the star will reportedly be produced by US publishing giant St. Martin’s Press next winter.

His previous work includes the 1992 exposé Diana, Her True Story, for which the Princess of Wales was later revealed to have been the main source.

More recently, a biography of Tom Cruise brought legal threats after Morton suggested the Top Gun star had tailored his life to helping further the cause of the Church of Scientology and had become its de-facto second-in-command.

Mr Cruise has vehemently denied Morton’s allegations

There is zero doubt that Morton will shed some much needed light into many of the untruths spread by Angelina Jolie’s PR machine and we should expect to find some secrets revealed about her and Brad’s intimate relationship, most especially, when it REALLY began and how far they were both willing to go to protect their reputations, while deftly throwing Brad’s ex, Jennifer Aniston under the bus!

Stay tuned for more on this book!

Supermodel and Football Player Get Hitched, Will Wonders Never Cease!

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:18:39 +0000

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen got married in Los Angeles last night according to Us Magazine. Despite rumors of their engagement in December, the couple repeatedly denied the news. Apparently they think we are all dumb-dumbs.

I normally love hearing about blessed events like weddings and births, but in Hollywood, these events are attached to stigmas of divorce rates in the 80% (just speculating that figure on empirical data) and ugly custody battles, so forgive my dampened enthusiasm. To make matters worse, this particular coupling already had built in scandal, as Gisele and Tom began dating when he’d already knocked up actress Bridget Moynahan. SHADY!! So in this case, we have two hos and baby!

More nonsense from Us:

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady wed today at the St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, Calif., Usmagazine.com confirms.

The bride, 28, donned a form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.

The ceremony — which began at dusk — was “very small and intimate,” a source tells Us, adding that guests mostly consisted of immediate family. Brady’s son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, was also present.

(Fitting, as Bundchen once described her ideal wedding as “a simple ceremony…I don’t like parties, I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people.”)

Reps did not immediately return calls.

The Brazilian-born supermodel has been dating the New England Patriots quarterback, 31, since 2006.

A pal close to the couple told Us Bundchen and Brady are perfect together.

“She’s definitely ‘The One,’” the source said. “She really makes him comfortable and just happy.”

And the bride wore white? Nervy! And of course she’s the one, they’re all the one, until they aren’t. I’m sure Bridget thought she was the “one” when Tom impregnated her. Congrats you two sluts! Here’s to hoping your union lasts longer most.

About That Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie Showdown

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:38:43 +0000

This is the best video I could find of Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black presenting the award for the Best Animated Film at last night’s 81st Oscars. Proving that we as a public are still fascinated by the Brangelina vs. Jennifer Aniston saga, the show presenters panned to Jolie during the presentation. Both tacky and totally expected (and required).

Jennifer looked nervous and tore the hell out that envelope and she did stumble a bit at the beginning of the presentation, but hey, she got up there, got through it and didn’t blow a gasket.

For Angelina’s part, she put her best fake smile on and you know she was shooting pity daggers at poor Jennifer. Both women looked gorgeous, although Jen’s hair was frizzy and Angelina wore jewelry that resembled something you’d win in a gumball machine.

Who won that showdown? Mostly a draw, although Jennifer gets props for going out there in front of her ex-husband and his mistress, merely feet away in front of the whole world. Ask Debbie Reynolds how she’d feel doing to same in front of Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher.

I know it’s a shameless case of schadenfreude for me to feel a sense of pleasure that neither Angelina or Brad won an Oscar, but for those who don’t think that Hollywood pays attention to shady behavior and refuses to reward it, think again. Why do you think Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar? Shady cults are frowned on too.

Angelina Jolie Makes Grumpy Faces At Anne Hathaway

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:45:37 +0000

According to reports, and now video footage, famous homewrecker and child hoarder Angelina Jolie showed her true spirit at VH1’s Critic’s Choice Awards.

Apparently, Angelina, regressing to former bad girl behavior, was none too impressed she lost out to the younger and better actress Anne Hathaway for her performance in Rachel Getting Married, who shared her Best Actress award with her idol and legendary actress Meryl Streep. Glosslip reader Rachel first alerted us to the FoxNews report on Angie’s reaction to Anne’s win, and they weren’t holding anything back:

Anne Hathaway couldn’t hold back the rambling and tears as she received the dual honor of Best Actress (along with “Doubt” actress Meryl Streep) for her performance in “Rachel Getting Married” at Thursday night’s VH1 Critics Choice Awards. But one lady who looked less-than-impressed was fellow nominee Angelina Jolie.

As Hathaway gushed about how thrilling it was to win something with her “idol” Streep, the cameras caught Jolie (twice) with such a severe scowl it caused quite the gasp backstage.

Let’s put it this way: if looks could kill, Hathaway would definitely be dead.

“Angelina didn’t say much for the rest of the night,” an eyewitness told Tarts. “She was all smiles before the announcement, and it was clear she wasn’t happy.”

For a the world’s highest-paid actress, one would think Jolie would have found it an appropriate time to use her skills to hide those feelings of disappointment.

In Angie’s defense, Anne’s speech was REALLY LOOOOONG, and kind of annoying, but it was definitely earnest and sincere. There’s something very sweet and genuine about a well-known star being nervous, excited and taken aback about winning an award, so congrats to Anne.

Back to Angie, so the anointed one was making grumpy faces during Anne’s speech, and like we said, it could be from disappointment at losing to someone as affable and effervescent as Anne, or because Anne’s speech was kind of goofy, but either way, she looked like a straight up biznatch. Hardly a shock there. To add more fuel to the fire, apparently partner and baby-daddy Brad Pitt’s hands weren’t only used for clapping, and those close to their table were treated to some old school Angie action, with Pitt and Jolie making out, which included Brad slipping his hand up Angie’s dress. Classss-y!

So when you think about it, this is all a normal night for Ms. Jolie. Get nominated, lose, scowl at competition, gratuitous display of affection and some slut action to drive the point home. Congrats Anne, and welcome back to the real Angelina Jolie!

Brad Pitt Confirms It: He And Angelina Jolie Fell In Love While He Was Still Married

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:34:44 +0000

I guess the pressure of continually lying to the press and his fans got to be too much for Brad Pitt…on the heels of partner Angelina Jolie telling the world that yes, indeed, they did fall in love on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (after spending entirely too much energy denying the obvious), he has now said that yep, it happened pretty much when we all thought it did:

Rumours swirled around Pitt and Jolie while they were filming Mr & Mrs Smith in May 2004 – seven months before he split from the former Friends star.

In the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Pitt reiterates Jolie’s recent confession that they fell in love while making the movie.

After being asked why the action film is his favourite film, he explained: ‘Because you know… six kids. Because I fell in love.’

Well, some might say you fell in heat, Brad, but whatever floats your little boat.

His admission comes a couple of months after Angelina Jolie totally decided to stick the knife farther into Jennifer Aniston told the NYT that she looked forward to the day she could show her kids just when she and pseudo-daddy fell in luv:

Nonetheless, she said, she looks forward to the day when she can put “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in the DVD player for the children; “not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.”

So now we have confirmation from both parties involved. Let’s recap the timeline:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith started filming in January 2004 and continued off and on until October 2004.
Jennifer Aniston and Brad formally separated on January 7, 2005, and she filed for divorce in March 2005.
As of January 2004, the beginning of filming for Brad and Angelina, Jennifer and Brad were still together, although the marriage was rocky during 2004.
Brad and Jen were still married during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and were not even separated (although I would also like to point out that separated is still married).

Now, just what is it that both Angie and Brad have said in the past about adultery and such? Angie has said that she has never been able to watch Coming Home because her father supposedly had an affair during it:

Angelina also spoke about her Father, Jon Voight, with whom she has been estranged for quite some time. Jolie had this to say about her dad, “We don’t really have a relationship, but we’re in contact. And wish each other well. I think we’ve realized there’s been too much discussion. Him discussing me publicly. I’ve had to comment on him. I think it’s best that, if we try to have any relationship in the future, we do it quietly.”

Angelina also said she had never been able to view her father’s oscar-winning performance in Coming Home.

“Because that was when my father left my mom, and the woman who he cheated on her with is in the film,” Jolie says.

Guess that one won’t be going in the DVD player for her kids any time soon. However, Angie again has her timeline a bit wonky, because Angelina was born in 1975, her parents separated in 1976, the movie was filmed sometime between 1976 and 1977, when this supposed affair took place, and was released in 1978…you do the math.

Oh wait, what else has she said?

Curry: You have said, “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning, if I did that.”

Jolie: Yeah, that’s right.

Curry: That says a lot.

Jolie: Yeah, well, I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.

And Brad has flat denied any rumors that the relationship began during the movie:

There was no mistaking the onscreen chemistry, but for the first time Brad Pitt has publicly refuted long-standing rumours he cheated on his former wife Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr and Mrs Smith.

In a new interview with US talk show host Larry King, the actor hit back at suggestions he began the high profile relationship before his marriage was over.

He insisted to the presenter: “Well, that [romance] came after Larry. That came after.”

Brad first met his now partner on the set of action film in 2004, and within months, his marriage to America’s Sweetheart Jennifer was over.

Whew. Now…what does Jennifer have to say about all this? Not much…which is a refreshing change from Angelina’s babbling on and on about how magical she and Brad’s relationship is. Jennifer has pretty much taken the high road, but recently she’s made a comment or two about how things stand:

In a barbed remark, the actress joked that she goes on holiday with Jolie and Brad Pitt on weekends.

‘The funny thing is that people don’t realise we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends,’ she told the magazine [GQ].

‘No. But can you imagine? That’d be hysterical,’ and making a reference to the couple’s children, she added: ‘I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox….’

She also spoke about how she is still in touch with Pitt.

‘We don’t not talk,’ she said. ‘When there’s something to congratulate or celebrate, there’s always an exchange. But there’s no charge on it.’

And asked if she talks to Jolie, she retorted: ‘No, Nuh-uh.’

I’m sure that people are going to make me out to be a Jennifer fan, and trust me…I’m not. I find her cloying and puerile, I think she has horrible taste in men, and I don’t think she’s all that great an actress. But she has been remarkably mature in this whole fiasco…more mature than child-hoarding Angelina, with her quicksand-like mommy parts, and Bradley, who seems to suffer from a form of environmental dependence syndrome…in this case we might call it relationship dependence syndrome. He mirrors the strongest personality in his life, most of the time whichever woman is in his bed, which in this case is Angelina. He likes what she likes because she’s the dominant personality. Anybody remember Gwyneth Paltrow?

This might be a controversial statement to make, but I’d be much less likely to rag on Brad and Angie if they’d just come out with the truth to start with. I’m an adult, and while I don’t agree with it I realize things happen. But they could have waited until there was an official divorce before starting to move ahead with a relationship, instead of pursuing it while Brad and Jen were still married (and yes…separated is still married). They probably wouldn’t have stayed married even if Angelina hadn’t come a-calling, but at this point we’ll never know for sure. Serial homewrecker Angelina could have held back until the papers were signed, instead of actively pursuing Brad during the movie. Brad could have realized he was being led around by the, uh, emotions, and taken a few steps back. But no…typical of those who don’t realize, or care, what they do to others, they wanted what they wanted when they wanted it and how they wanted it and if you don’t like it then two fingers up to you. That, I believe, is the basis of the animosity towards Brad and Angelina.

Brad Pitt Unable To Man Up, Calls Aniston To Complain About Vogue Comment

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:23:53 +0000

Aren’t we all ready to move on from the Brad, Angelina, Jennifer saga? Clearly Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Aniston are not. So here we go again.

As we reported two days ago, Jennifer Aniston is quoted in the December issue of Vogue as saying she thought her ex-husband’s current girlfriend and mother to his six kids, Angelina Jolie, was “really uncool” for revealing she and Pitt fell in love while the were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith. To recap, Mr. and Mrs. Smith was filmed in 2004 while Pitt was still married to Aniston.

Up until now, Aniston has maintained a pretty low profile about the split and has had virtually nothing to say about Jolie, despite the obvious. And the obvious in this case is Brad Pitt cheated on his wife with Angelina Jolie. BAM! BOOM! I said it and I am NOT taking it back. We can all (that means you Brangeloonies) stop pretending it didn’t happen, or that it wasn’t wrong or that Angelina Jolie’s womb isn’t a magical vortex of the holy trinity.

So, for the last three years, Jennifer Aniston has had to overcome a divorce, move on with her life and keep her head high, despite the endless and unrelenting adoration heaped on her ex-husband and his paramour. Has she done a good job? Yeah, I think so. Sure her movies have sucked bigtime, but it’s not like she became a raging drunk or had sex with Sasquatch or anything. She’s done what she always does, dates jerks, looks good in a bikini. And more than anything, she’s kept her mouth shut. WAY more than I would have. Honestly, I would have walked straight up to Angelina, punched her in the throat, kicked her in the ass, and likely, hurled some less than savory utterances. But hey, I like to keep it classy.

Why did Jennifer break her dignified silence?

Because Angelina Jolie just had to keep rubbing Aniston’s nose in her saintly doo-doo. “Oh look at me Jennifer, I can breed like an unspayed cat, steal your hubby, make great films and command a rabid loyal following of mentally disturbed loons, top that Rachel.”

Well, I guess Aniston had enough, and said eff that and made one brief comment about what a tasteless wretch Jolie is, and Brad now has to come to Jolie’s defense, because wherever you lay your DNA is home.

Here’s the low-down:

One would have to assume Pitt’s irritation was due to Aniston’s comment that it was ”uncool” Jolie came clean about falling in love with her married co-star in ”Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

But still, it was Pitt who cheated on Aniston — leading to a horribly public split that was clearly humiliating for the popular actress.

Another source, close to Jolie, said Wednesday that Pitt and Jolie were ”totally thrown” by Aniston’s Vogue interview, thinking she had already ”moved on … and wouldn’t want to reopen this old wound.”

At any rate, Aniston’s spokesman is not commenting on the alleged Pitt call to Aniston, simply e-mailing, ”That’s personal information. … That really is no one’s business.”

Yep, that’s right. It’s no one’s business that Jennifer Aniston finally put Angelina Jolie in her place. Not sure about you, but I’d like to close this chapter and move on. Angie, next move is yours. I’ll offer you the same advice I give my kids when they get out of hand: zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket.

Pierce Brosnan Prefers Charlize Theron Over Angelina Jolie, Sheesh, Who Doesn’t?

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:30:05 +0000

Leave it to that tall glass of steaming hotness Pierce Brosnan (simmer down k, I know he’s all yours) to slap the patron saint of home-wreckers Angelina Jolie in the face. Sadly, he only did so metaphorically, because Angie so deserves a real glove slap (a gentlemanly one of course, we don’t advocate physical abuse, usually.)

Anywho, in a recent interview with People Magazine, Brosnan had this to say (via I’mNotObsessed) about his potential co-stars in the latest Thomas Crown Affair film:

“Charlize Theron is someone who I’ve always admired. I think she’s someone who has acquitted herself grandly. Nothing against Angelina Jolie. I think she’s a magnificent actress. But Charlize has a poise about her and has an inner strength and femininity which I really like to watch.”

Ok, I know what you Brangeloonies are thinking, he didn’t really insult Jolie because he said she’s a magnificent actress. But trust us, he insulted her. His compliments to Charlize were a direct kidney-punch to Angelina, who DEFINITELY considers herself the epitome of poise, inner strength and femininity. So in a subtle, yet direct way, Pierce is letting us know he doesn’t want to be tempted by her penisflytrap woman parts. Especially with the latest vulgar revelations by Angie herself, that she and her whipped little puppy, Brad Pitt fell in love while shooting their film Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Of course, not only did Angie finally reveal to the world what we already knew, she proved what a relentless liar she is, after boldly proclaiming she’d NEVER, EVER be attracted to a married man after her father cheated on her mother while they were still married.

Whatever Angie! Not everyone is up for your shenanigans and false sainthood or temptress ways. I am sure you have more than your fair share of enemies in Hollywood. What’s that old adage, don’t poop where you eat? Yeah, that.
