Isabella Cruise and Eddie Frencher Reunite After He Leaves Scientology's "Sea Org"

We are happy to report that love springs eternal for Tom Cruise’s daughter Isabella, who has been reunited with her boyfriend Eddie Frencher.

In August, we broke the news that Eddie had joined Scientology’s elite clerical order, the “Sea Organization,” which requires its members to sign billion-year contracts. Apparently, that turned out to be a billion […]

Sunday Funnies: Scientology Says It Bought a SUPER BOWL Ad!

On Sundays, we bring to you the latest fliers and mailers and e-mails that Scientologists have received as the church encourages them to donate to one campaign after another. It’s dizzying to keep up with all the requests for cash that church members get hit up for, and this week we received a lot of […]

LIVE-BLOGGING NBC's ROCK CENTER: Join Us to Watch Paul Haggis and Lawrence Wright!

Last night we had a helluva time live-blogging Nancy Many’s docudrama about Scientology spying on the ID network. Many of you joined us, and it was exhilarating to trade observations about the show as it was happening.

Lawrence Wright's Going Clear: We Don't Think Scientology Is Going to Like This Book Much

Now that we’ve read Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, & the Prison of Belief, we’re going to refrain from writing the sort of thing you’ve been seeing in some other publications. You know, the “Ten Most Explosive Things in Lawrence Wright’s New Book” sort of article.

For those of us who watch Scientology closely, and have for […]

TONIGHT: Nancy Many's Story of Scientology Spying and Interrogation on ID at 10 PM

Tonight is the night we move into a new era: for the first time, a television network is putting on not just a story about some of Scientology’s worst abuses — spying on perceived enemies, degrading treatment of workers, splitting up families — but it’s being dramatized in a 1-hour show that pulls no punches.

We’ve […]

Buzzfeed Takes a Close Look at Scientology's "Ideal Org" Financing

What timing — just hours after The Atlantic magazine apologized for running a paid “advertorial” about Scientology’s “Ideal Org” program, Buzzfeed has published a lengthy investigation of the church’s building program that writer Alex Klein has been working on for quite a while.
