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.

But wait, there’s more…

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.

After jumping to painful conclusions about “Brokeback Mountain” star Heath Ledger’s untimely death, I’d wanted to step back and wait to see what the media had to say in the days following his passing.

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.

But wait, there’s more…

In the last couple of days we’ve had three relatively famous people die, two apparently for no known medical reason and one from a gunshot wound, which may or may not have been the result of a crime.

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.

But wait, there’s more…
