LAWSUIT GOES AFTER SCIENTOLOGY, CRUISE "Tom Cruise is named in a $250 million federal lawsuit that is using the RICO statute against the Church of Scientology. Ex-Scientologist Peter Letterese, a longtime critic of the church, filed suit in Southern District Court in Florida on July 15 alleging, among other things, that members of the church harassed him after he left. … Letterese calls the church a 'crime syndicate' and wants it broken up under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization law, just as the feds have broken up Mafia families. He singles out Cruise, who's made no secret of his religion, saying that Scientology head David Miscavage is 'aided and abetted by the actions of Tom Cruise, his right-hand man for foreign and domestic promotion, as well as for foreign and domestic lobbying. He has assisted the syndicate in acquiring funds and [made] his own donations of money believed to be in the multiple tens of millions of dollars.'"

Here's some interesting and slightly creepy news via today's Page Six regarding the party thrown over the weekend to honor David and Victoria Beckham's arrival onto the Hollywood social scene:

"It was an amazing time. Everyone was dancing and eating cupcakes." There was one person who kept to himself and silently surveyed the crowd at the L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art - Scientology head David Miscavige, who "just kept looking at people and spoke quietly with Tom's mom."

Jesus. Doesn't that give you the chills? Cupcakes? Someone could have been a diabetic, you fucking psychos.
