While several celebrities practice Scientology, Kelly Preston and Katie Holmes are arguably the two most notorious “Scientology wives.â€Â I’ve spent the better part of 6 lunch breaks sifting through the crazy when it comes to Tom and Katie’s split, which lead me to investigate John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s sham marriage as well. These two Scientology Sister Wives have a lot more in common than I realized.
For starters, they both have the same first initial. Crazy, I know! They’ve both been engaged before — Katie to Chris Klein, Kelly to Charlie Sheen… at least that proves they weren’t always attracted to famous and (allegedly) closeted alien-worshipers, just famous guys who like to drink and not work.
Kelly auditioned for the lead role in Blue Lagoon, which she lost to Brooke Shields. Katie wasn’t allowed to experience any hormonal imbalances after childbirth thanks to Tom’s obsession with Brooke Shields, who openly admitted suffering from post-partum depression after childbirth. Because believing that aliens are living inside of us is totally ok, but being pro-active with your mental health is not. Just to clarify.
Kelly had a role in Jerry McGuire alongside Tom Cruise. Both Katie and Kelly have starred in C-list movies with Michael Keaton (Jack Frost, anyone?), both were pregnant at the time they got married AND gave their kids weird names, and most importantly, both gals are actresses who “married up,†on the pathway to success, yet have taken the backseat in their careers while their husbands starred in several high-budget films throughout their marriages.
Now that Katie Holmes has broken free from the reigns of Scientology and Tom Cruise, I’m interested to see where she is a year from now. Hopefully not wasting away in a nunnery or anything, since she seems to have done a complete 180 on the organized religion scale, leaping back to Catholocism in a matter of weeks. I hope we see her career reach heights it hasn’t ever really had the chance to reach before.
As for Kelly Preston, well, she seems to follow a “stand by your man†mantra, so I have a feeling the most we can hope for with her is a sequel to What a Girl Wants (I wish Amanda Bynes would sober up just long enough to make that a reality). Then again, this is a woman who was able to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy extraterrestrial baby at 48 years old, so she may just surprise us all with an Oscar nod someday. Heaven knows she’s earned one, being a Hollywood’s favorite beard AND pretending John Travolta’s hair is real for the last few decades!

It was a star-filled day at Good Morning America yesterday! On July 17, Kristin Davis and John Stamos stopped by ABC Studios in NYC to appear on the morning show. But before they headed inside for the taping, the duo posed for pics and even signed some autographs for fans.
Though their appearances on GMA may have been brief, that didn’t stop them from stepping out in style! While John dressed to impress in a slick suit, Kristin looked radiant in her red frock and chic YSL shoulder bag to match. Lookin’ good, guys!

In today’s creepy news, the Rolling Stone August cover featuring  Justin Bieber got released (leaked?) on Twitter. Not only is Justin Bieber posing seductively on the cover, but the words HOT, READY, LEGAL accompany the sleeveless pic. I know the kid’s 18 now and I know he’s not legally a kid anymore, but he still looks like one — and this whole cover reeks of a Mary-Kate/Ashley Olsen 18th Birthday countdown type thing.
Also, what does it even mean? He’s ready for sex? Because I’m going to guess he’s already had it. You don’t grow up in the music industry and stay a virgin for long. Unless you’re a Jonas Brother and you’re selling your virginity. Then go on with your not-bad self.
And elephant in the room, he looks 14. And that’s totally cool, not everyone goes through puberty by 18. But his baby face makes this cover even creepier. Rolling Stone isn’t 50 Shades of Grey. So I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable reading it in public.
Next time let’s at least put a shirt on the kid. And glue on some stubble if the headline is anything like this.
