I just looked at the slide show of the puppet monkey wedding, and now I want to marry both of them. And the guy who came to the wedding in a box-based costume. #weddings

I have a Scientology nugget that might be a bit off-thread, but I don't know where else to put it.

A couple of years ago, the national mag that employed me had an editorial meeting and decided to task a reporter team to do the research ground work on a future Scientology expose. We started by having lunch at the cafeteria on the premises of the "Scientology Celebrity Centre (sic) International" in Hollywood. When we showed up, the receptionists demanded that we all turn in our driver licenses. They recorded all the data in a log. Our names, home addresses and driver license alpha-numeric codes. So.Fucking.Creepy. #scientology

Tom Cruis is like 5'4 WTF are these morons scared of? Paul Higgins puts them in a very tight spot. He looks like he could live up to anything they reveal AND the revelations will cause more people leaving. I think there will be revelations but it will be more subtle. He is also sure t obe in store for some serious backlash from the Scientology elite. So no movies with the Elfman's #scientology

@adiam7: Cruise is powerful because he's not just a bankable star but also currently runs a Hollywood studio--United Artists. Albeit a kind of phantom studio. Nevertheless, the position of studio head enhances his stature in Hollywood. F-wad demands respect from countless numbers of actors who wish to be employed. #scientology

Gawker, by putting a photo of someone I actually know from the bad old days in this post, should expect a bill from my therapist. (I'm saying my bartender is going to send you my unpaid tab.) #weddings

Can you imagine being in an already flawed "belief system" like Scientology and then getting beat up and beat up by Tom Cruise. It's too surreal for words--and very sickening. #scientology

I've been thinking a lot about Haggis's letter and I think it really puts Scientology in a tight spot. It's totally an assumption on my part, but I would suspect that there are quite a few mid-profile Scientology celebrities who feel the same way Haggis does about the Scientology's Prop. 8 support (i.e., real discomfort). I don't know how Scientology deals with changes in its doctrine, but I assume changes can be made. But given what we all suspect about the way Scientology has used certain members' misgivings about their own sexuality as a means of control, such a change in doctrine could result in less leverage in Hollywood. But not changing their stance has risks too. There's that story about Jenna Elfman and her husband accosting some guy who wore a shirt that mocked Scientology and they angrily said to him, in effect, "you're mocking my religion!" I wonder how the couple would have reacted if someone rather loudly explained to them that, "yes, my t-shirt is critical of your religion because it donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a political campaign whose sole purpose was to take away my (or my friend's, or sister's or father's) right to marry the person they love. I'm also critical of the Mormon church, the Catholic Church and various freak show right wing protestant churches that you're apparently in bed with. Good day. Assholes." Oh, and I also like to think that the career of Neil Patrick Harris gives Miscavige nightmares.

@BicycleShed: Scientology can't change its doctrine. L. Ron Hubbard's works, referred to collectively as "Source," cannot be altered in any way. You're not even supposed to rephrase it, because they believe in the importance of exact wording.

Now, obviously there's the old "previously undiscovered writings" gambit, but given that Hubbard was consistent with his opinions on homosexuality, I don't think it'd work here. For instance, I'm pretty sure it showed up in Dianetics, and there's no good way to efface that. #scientology
