Karen Black at last year’s gala The tuxes have been fitted, the limos have been rented, the speeches have been written, and the strange dances have been choreographed. And now it’s time to party the way only Scientology knows how! Well, we don’t actually know if this year’s Writers of the Future gala will feature […] Last year, we noticed that some former winners of Scientology’s “Writers of the Future” awards were nervously wondering if they’d been had. With so much bad publicity plaguing the church, was it really such a good thing to win an award from an organization becoming increasingly known for things like locking up its executives in a […] City Councilman Dan Halloran, flanked by Bernard and Meghan Fialkoff For several years, New York City public schools have been targeted by Scientology front groups that put on drug abuse education and “human rights” seminars without revealing their ties to the church. A Bayside dentist behind the effort was recently honored by New York’s City […] The film being celebrated tonight at Anne Archer’s house, and showing tomorrow night at USC [BREAKING: See below for an important new story that aired this morning in Australia about a young woman reportedly held against her will by Scientology after having a mental breakdown.] Roger Friedman over at Showbiz 411 put up an interesting […] Pity poor PIX 11 reporter Hilary Whittier, who had to put together one of those cloying, cliche-filled pieces in the wake of the Newtown massacre, the kind of thing where shell-shocked locals are interviewed talking about hope and prayers in the face of tragedy. Near the end of her report, Whittier wants to give an example […] We have to hand it to Scientology. The church never gives up, and it never loses faith that its front groups will someday help L.

A lesson for other media: This is how you keep a story in the […] While Scientology’s private eyes were tailing us around a different part of Los Angeles yesterday, one of our tipsters kept an eye on Sheriff Lee Baca’s appearance in Inglewood to promote L. Ron Hubbard’s 1980 booklet, The Way to Happiness. We have a couple of photographs of the event, as well as some notes about who […] Given its rather unsavory reputation, the Church of Scientology usually has a hard time getting much love from politicians or other prominent personalities. For every glittering movie star that actually belongs to the wacky group, many, many more would never have anything to do with it. But it’s those exceptions — big names that agree to […] Scientology’s drug rehab program, Narconon, is now being sued by a whole bunch of folks because, well, people keep dropping dead at its clinics. We figure Narconon could use some help paying for all that legal cheddar they’re going to have to fork out. But then we found out that there’s a really fun way to […] |
