Mike Rinder’s New Book Gets Into How Scientology Dealt With The John Travolta Gay Rumors, Tried To Woo David Beckham, And Alienated Tom Cruise From Nicole Kidman

Mike Rinder, former high-level Scientologist and co-host of the A&E docuseries, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, has a new book. It’s called A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology, and it promises to that expose “the dark, dystopian truth about Scientology.” Fun! The book just came out, so there are a bunch of headlines making the rounds today.
For example, those John Travolta gay rumors. 67-year-old Mike claims that, back in the day, he was chatting to John in a hotel suite when a male masseur walked in the room and kissed John on the mouth. Whoops! Then there’s the failed wooing of David and Victoria Beckham. Apparently, Tom Cruise wanted David to be in Scientology so bad that he built a soccer field. But it didn’t work. Whomp, whomp! Finally, there’s the Nicole Kidman stuff. Mike claims that David Miscavige felt Tom was pulling away from the cult while filming Eyes Wide Shut with Nicole in London, so he sent one of his cronies to “audit” Tom. The audit drew Tom back into Scientology and created a distance between him and his wife. Obviously, Scientology denies all of Mike’s allegations. They tell Page Six that he’s an “inveterate liar.” Google says “inveterate” means: “chronic, deep-seated.” So that’s two words Scientology has taught me: “inveterate” and “glib.” Continue reading
Thanks To Coronavirus, The Trial For Johnny Depp’s Libel Suit Against The Sun Was Postponed

I think coronavirus has gotten a bad rap. Don’t run away! Hear me out. Why are we focusing on all the negative things coronavirus has done to us, instead of some of the positive things? For example, according to The Guardian, the trial for Johnny Depp’s libel suit against The Sun has been “adjourned to a later date” due to “the worldwide spread of Covid-19.” So next time you can’t pay your rent or you’re up all night worrying about how we’re all gonna die, remember that the coronavirus has also saved you from months of having to hear the excruciating details of Johnny and Amber Heard’s trainwreck marriage. Thanks to corona, no more severed finger and poop-stained sheets fueled nightmares for you!
Penelope Cruz and Winona Ryder Come To Johnny Depp’s Defense

Johnny Depp has a lot to be thankful for––and it’s not just his ability to translate that broody, mumble-speak thing he does and his eternally unkempt appearance into one successful movie role after another. It’s because he’s got the support of Penelope Cruz and his ex, Winona Ryder, in his never-ending ongoing defamation case against ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Amber, you’ll remember (even if you didn’t want to), claims that Johnny was an abuser during their marriage. Meanwhile, recent audio leaks would appear to implicate Amber herself as being abusive too. By all accounts, the case is an absolute mess. But, fear not. We’ve got the mom from Stranger Things to clear things up.
Fan Bingbing Is Back And Will Still Star In The All-Female Action Film “355”

Fan Bingbing is back back. The formerly-most famous Chinese actress is finally returning after all of her financial and legal issues. Fan got in trouble for a legitimate amount of tax evasion in China and ended up spending some time at a “resort” of sorts–if you consider Guantanamo Bay a resort. Well now that she’s out of the clink, she needs a new gig to help get money back in her no-longer-fraudulent bank account, and she’s got a pal in Jessica Chastain who is graciously allowing this felon to still be in her all-female action movie, 355.
Brigitte Nielsen’s White Hot Glamour Singed The Red Carpet, And Other Looks From The Golden Globes

Cleaning crews at The Beverly Hilton are probably still vacuuming up the shards of glitter that flew off of Billy Porter when he twirled in that amazing technicolor dreamcape, and are mopping up the Fiji water that people spewed out after realizing they were in the presence of the one and only Fiji Water Girl, and are disinfecting the floor after hundreds of people shit themselves as Baroness Jamie Lee Haden-Guest (seriously, she’s a baroness) sashayed onto the red carpet and they thought, “Damn, Brigitte Nielsen is looking hot after birthing out a baby!” People probably shit out everything in their system and are going to need some probiotics to get their guts good again. I see what you did there Queen of Activia!
The Emmys Was Bursting With Excessive Amounts Of Fabric Last Night

It’s a bit redundant to say so, because aren’t all award shows just an excuse for fashion houses to clean out their local Fabric Barn and send a famous person down the carpet in more material than a 1980s canopy bed set? But the Emmys did see a lot of by-the-yardage last night, like on Jessica Biel, who said yes to a white Ralph & Russo dress. If you think Jessica and Justin Timberlake look like they stopped by the Emmys on their way to appearing on the top of a wedding cake, you’re not the only one.
