Jim Meskimen Does it Again!

Scientologist Jim Meskimen's vocal abilities are phenomenal. The guy can do impressions of just about anyone. He is a regular now on the video site "JibJab" and his latest video for them is a masterpiece. What We Call the News doesn't just lampoon the news but makes some scary social commentary about, well, what we call the news.

New Template for the Site

I just switched to the new style Blogger templates. You probably won't notice a lot of difference in colors but I hope you notice the big list of Scientology Celebrities I've added to the side-bar.

The list is by no means complete so if you know of anyone else who should be added then please tell me by leaving a comment here.

Suri Cruise - A Supermodel at 2 years old

Just kidding, sort of. Though, in a way it is true. Check this out: On their website, In Style magazine has an entire gallery devoted to Suri Cruise! Suri's Stylish.

Hey, getting an entire photo gallery on the In Style website certainly puts you on a par with supermodels. Not bad for a little girl who just turned two years old.

Connor Cruise gets his start in movies

Tom Cruise's adopted son, Connor, will be making his debut in movies, playing one of the main characters as a boy. It's a non-speaking part, but it's a start!

Connor was not given any special preference because of who his parents are, he had to audition just like anyone else. I would guess that growing up around movie sets and the paraphenalia of Hollywood would make this a very familiar area for him.

So now his career in movies is off to a great start: he's not just in a Will Smith movie, but he's also playing Smith as a boy.

Michelle Stafford

Emmy Award winning actress Michelle Stafford is a star on the daytime drama "The Young and the Restless." Not only has the show now exceeded 1,000 consecutive episodes, but it is also celebrating its 35th year on the air! Michelle has appeared in more than 520 of those episodes. (Here is an article about the show: 35 years of ‘Y&R’.

Michelle is a busy girl, not only is she staring in Y&T but she has a movie coming out in May called 3 Days Gone.

I've met Michelle a few times through a mutual friend and I was on course with her a couple of years ago. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she is one of the most enthusiastic and energetic people I have ever met.

Struck - the Movie

Yesterday in researching what to write about the beautiful Jennifer Aspen I came across a movie she just starred in called "Struck". I went to the web site and found this hilarious video: Struck - Behind The Scenes. It's a hoot, with the stars of the show camping it up to the max. If you've seen any "Making Of" movies about digital effects and those little green balls they stick onto the actors, then you'll really appreciate the bit about the tennis balls with the smiley faces.

The movie Struck was directed by Taron Lexton, whose films have won more than a dozen awards and who, in June last year, was presented with the "United Nations Award of Excellence" for his work in the field of human rights. In winning the award, he joins such luminaries as Mikhail Gorbachev, Arthur Miller and Stephen Hawking. Taron is the youngest person ever to receive this award.

Jennifer Aspen

Jennifer Aspen is probably best known for her starring role in the sitcom "Rodney". Since that series ended, her career has continued to blossom with guest starring roles in numerous shows, such as "Boston Legal", "The Closer", "Criminal Minds" and the ABC series "Eli Stone". Plus she's been in movies such as "Mr. Woodcock" with Billy Bob Thornton and Susan Sarandon and the independent movie "Struck," by award winning director Taron Lexton. Struck looks like an intriguing film, in fact so intriguing that I'll post something about it tomorrow and there will be a link to a video that includes Jennifer (and two of her pets) being very funny.

Anyway, here is Jennifer's Scientology Success.

Ethan Suplee is Clear

Actor Ethan Suplee recently attested to the State of Clear.

He said, "I am saner and more rational."

Before Clear:

I'd decide "I want this …" and suddenly, I can't have it because of …. And there's this thing here that's better …. Suddenly it's a mess of "I don't know what I want" and "I don't know how to get it."

After achieving the State of Clear:

That doesn't happen now. So if I want something I can just go and get it. And I know with certainty that I want the right thing and I'm not going to mess myself up in the process of going after what I want. And that's amazing. Just knowing I'm not going to sabotage myself. I always sabotaged myself before, and now that's gone. It's not here anymore, and that is the coolest thing ever."

Kelly Preston - Medium

Kelly Preston will be appearing in four episodes of the paranormal thriller "Medium". She'll be playing an interloper in the marriage of the two main characters on the show. The executive producer said they chose Kelly because, "we needed an actress who exuded both intelligence and sexuality." If you saw her in Jerry McGuire you'll know she can sure do that.

Jason Dohring Interview

Jason Dohring was interviewed by Michael Hinman of SyFyPortal, a news web site about Science Fiction and Fantasy, regarding his new role as the 400-year-old vampire Josef Konstantin on "Moonlight." (Now that's a role he'll be able to sink his teeth into ... sorry, I couldn't resist it).

Anyway, bad jokes aside, here is the interview: 'Moonlight' Star Thanks Scientology For Success

Jeff Conaway kicks his drug habit with Scientology

Jeff Conaway (star of Taxi and Babylon 5) had a drug problem. But his friend John Travolta decided to reach out and help him.

Conaway describes what happened in an interview with Inside Edition: Jeff Conaway tells Inside Edition Scientology Helped Him Kick Drugs for Good.

In Scientology, helping a person get off drugs consists of:

- The Purification Rundown® Program
- TRs and Objectives
- Scientology® Drug Rundown

The ability gained from this is "Released from the harmful effects of drugs, medicine or alcohol." Something very worth achieving in our drug ridden society.

David Pomeranz accepts Award on Behalf of L. Ron Hubbard

I was just chatting with my friend David Pomeranz about the award presented to L. Ron Hubbard by the Dangerous Drugs Board of the Philippines Government for his work in the fields of drug education and rehabilitation (DDB awards Scientology founder, anti-drug crusader).

David told me a little more about the event than was in the government press release. A General who spoke at the award ceremony said that the Narconon program is in full swing in the Philippines and is successfully getting people off drugs like no other program they have ever seen. Another speaker talked about the Applied Scholastics program being piloted in the school system and about the excellent results the program is producing.

David is a multi-platinum award winning songwriter, performer and recording artist. His 1999 album Born for You is the biggest selling album of all time in the Philippines,

Mark Isham - a man with a sense of humor

Mark Isham is a Grammy and Emmy Award winning musician (he's had some Oscar nominations too) and he also has a great sense of humor. I think Monty Python fans especially will love the opening Flash video on his website : Mark Isham Home Page

How To Rob A Bank - Starring Erika Christensen

Erika Christensen stars in the movie "How to Rob a Bank" written and directed by Andrews Jenkins. The movie critic of the New York Daily News describes her as "impressively committed" to her role as bank employee Jessica, caught in the middle of a bank heist. But is she just an innocent bystander or is she part of the heist? To find the answer you'll have to go see the movie.

BTW, in the movie she has black hair. I almost didn't recognize her - it is amazing how different a person can look just by changing their hair color.

Ex-Dallas Cowboy decides to use Scientology as part of getting his life back in order

Here is an inspiring story of a guy who was not just down on his luck, but (in the words of the old blues song) "if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all". A sports reporter found him and wrote a story of his fall in an article entitled "From a Benz to a bike". Briefly, Clayton Holmes was a three times Superbowl winner, a talented athlete and a generous giver who ended up penniless after "a life gone bad" through "misdeeds and mistakes ... late-night parties and long-legged women ... money earned and money squandered." But after the article was written he decided to turn his life around as described in the follow up article :Holmes making strides toward mending his life.

In itself his story is very inspiring, showing that no matter how bad it gets, you can do something about it. But the part that caught my attention was that he has chosen Scientology as part of his road back.

From the article:

Upon arriving in the nation's capital, he immediately contacted the Church of Scientology, a religious movement that had long intrigued him. For the ensuing two weeks, he rose at 5:30 a.m., took the Metro to the church and spent the entire day studying. He recently completed his first Scientology course -- one of the proudest academic achievements of his life. "I already see my studying skills improving," says Holmes, who suffers from ADD and is 17 credits shy of graduating from Carson-Newman College. "I know a lot of people look at Scientology and think it's hearsay or think of Tom Cruise, but I'd encourage people to read about it before making a judgment. All I know is it's helped me gain a proper perspective and outlook on certain things. I hope people choose not to bash Scientology and instead look at me as a person who is in the process of figuring out how to create a better environment for kids."

It's always great to see someone getting their life back together. I wish Clayton the best of luck!
