We noticed that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce recently announced nominations are open again for the next crop of stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That got us thinking about the names you find on Hollywood Boulevard and looking at who got stars and when. (Surely, you’ve gone down this rabbit hole yourself, right?)
It did occur to us, when we watched Scientology leader David Miscavige open four long-delayed “Ideal Org” projects in quick succession in Austin, Mexico City, Chicago, and Paris, that it cleared the decks of new projects.

We want to thank the numerous readers who sent us links to news breaking out all over the place about Rebecca Minkoff, her Scientology upbringing, and Real Housewives of New York. Continue reading Rebecca Minkoff’s Scientology involvement in the news, thanks to ‘RHONY’

Continue reading What Alex Barnes-Ross told East Grinstead councillors about Scientology abuses
[Last time, Val Ross told us about working as a spy at the FBI after its raid on Scientology in 1977. She’s working on a subsequent installment in her tale, but in the meantime sent us this fascinating look at what she’s going through right now.] Since 2013 I’ve been working with an attorney who is also a state legislator. In July 2020, at the height of Covid, I retired.
