Scientology's Glamorous New Friends

Game over, Scientology wins, they have Pete Doherty and Sumner Redstone. Viacom chairman Redstone hasn't actually converted but did have lunch with Scientology bigshot Tom Cruise, probably canceling in his area a personal and business rift with the actor and paving the way for more sweet Mission Impossible money. Doherty has been reading up on the religion and shacking up with a Scientologist DJ who probably hasn't yet mentioned the religion's stance on psychoactive drugs.
Accidental gay porno fan (and singer) John Mayer posted a long rambly blog "about a young guy who maintains a celebrity blog... who has wrestled with a lifelong battle for acceptance as a gay man." Then, mercifully, "I'm going quiet now." [JohnMayer.com]
Star overlord Bonnie Fuller said singer Britney Spears' parents are "pimps" who treat their daughters like "cash registers" and "bank machines." To back this up, the American Media editorial director has both an anonymous quote and a book-plugging psychiatrist. Air. Tight. [HuffPo]
There's talk of a Hills movie. Well, of course there is. The question is, have they stockpiled enough stares. [MTV]
Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt "work on their relationship" by going to Vegas and staying in different rooms, in different hotels and barely talking. Actually, that is seriously a dream vacation for some couples. [People]
Atress Lindsay Lohan will play a member of the Manson family. [E! Online]
She's supposedly jetting off to rehab soon, but singer Amy Winehouse still can't manage to get to the jail on time to visit her husband. [Sun]

Re this post: There are enough freaks listed in tagged to cast the whole Manson family. Tom Cruise as Charlie.

@UnstableMabel: @TheHonJudgeSmails: I am using Firefox. Odd. There is still some quirky shit going on though. Like the submit comment button is kind of floating around in no man's land.

@CodePink: I wonder if the editors and reporters are still in hypersleep from their return to the blog nebula.

See, but when you actually read it, he's referring to Perez, not himself. Silly CodePinky, tricks are for kids!
