Remember John Travolta? He was on top of the world once. He had not one, but *two* comebacks, with the second (his appearance in "Pulp Fiction") giving him status as a serious actor like he had never seen before. He was making $20 million a movie. Then what happened? Instead of crediting Quentin Tarantino for his comeback, he gave the credit to Scientology. He pushed hard for a Scientology movie, and he got "Battlefield Earth" made.

Where is John Travolta now?

Remember Kirstie Alley? Star of "Cheers," sex symbol, beloved by millions. Then she put on all that weight, and instead giving credit to Jenny Craig for her weight loss (she became Jenny Craig's spokesperson), she gave the credit for her weight loss to Scientology. She made a media blitz of being the fat actress who slimmed down.

Remember Jenna Elfman? Star of "Dharma and Greg," sexy babe, up-and-coming movie career. Then she shilled Scientology and made such lovely statements that she would not donate to AIDS charities because AIDS is "a state of mind."

And next on the list...Tom Cruise. #1 box office draw on the planet, sex symbol, beloved and desired by millions of people worldwide. Then he fired his agent, hired his Scientologist sister, and began pushing Scientology with every other breath. Scientology tent on his movie set, Scientology helping his dyslexia, Scientology's anti-psychiatry crusde. Now he is driving "Mission Impossible 3" to oblivion, causing Spielberg to distance himself from his wacky pronouncements, and making the entire world wonder if his wholesome nice-guy image was nothing more than a put-on and a sham.
