Radar - "Brad Grey's Scientology Scare"

Quote:

When Viacom kingpin Sumner Redstone cited Tom Cruise's personal conduct as the reason for killing his production deal with Paramount, the 83-year-old mogul's candor rocked Hollywood. But Radar has learned Redstone may have let Cruise off easy, particularly in light of allegations the actor dispatched goons from the Church of Scientology to intimidate Redstone's studio chieftan, Brad Grey.

According to a high-ranking media executive, Paramount Pictures honcho Grey had a highly unpleasant run-in with the Church during his tense negotiations with Cruise over Mission: Impossible 3. Grey, who had recently joined the studio, entered the talks determined to make Cruise accept a smaller share of the gross revenues than he had from the first two installments in the franchise. (For those films, the actor reportedly took home an unheard-of 30 percent of the total revenue.) Leaving the office one night, the diminutive Grey, walking to his car in the Paramount lot, suddenly found himself surrounded by more than a dozen Scientologists, who pressured him to ease up on the actor, according to the source.

Following a terse exchange, the visitors allowed Grey to get into his car and leave, but the message was clear. Though he was unnerved by the incident, sources say, Grey stood his ground. After protracted negotiations, Cruise eventually agreed to a less generous deal.

Neither Grey nor Paramount responded to repeated queries, but a spokeswoman from the Church of Scientology disputes the report, saying, "The Church has nothing to do with anybody's business affairs." But to many Hollywood veterens, the incident is reminiscent of another recent backlot battle:

In the late nineties, John Travolta furiously lobbied reluctant former Fox studio chief Bill Mechanic to produce Battlefield Earth, the science-fiction stinker based on a story by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. "He had Scientologists all over me," Mechanic told Radar last year. "They come up to you and they know who you are." Despite the religion's reputation for intimidating its enemies, Mechanic, like Grey, was unswayed: "Do you think in any way, shape, or form that weirding me out is going to make me want to make this movie?" he said.

Has anyone else heard about this? This guy really is a psycho...

Okay, so I admittedly didn't really know much about scientologists. all i hear is that a bunch of celebrities belong to the 'religion'. so i did a google search, and read about them on their official site...

OH-MY-FUCKING-GOD... These people are lunatics!

This is take directly from the site, they honestly believe that the souls of dead aliens are responsible for illness...

Quote:

the story of Xenu and his Galactic Confederacy. Xenu (sometimes Xemu) is introduced as an alien ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. The alien souls continue to do this today, causing a variety of physical ill-effects in modern-day humans.

Allgedly, mind you, there was a wreck in front of Travoltas home (long time scientologist), his wife runs out the accident and hands them a freaking L.Ron Hubbard book. They're notorious in leal circles for playing underhanded, stalking clients, witnessess and counsel, yadda. _________________ ~James http://James-Buchanan.com My Publishers: http://www.phaze.com http://www.torquerepress.com http://www.mlrpress.com

Then why aren't they more well known for their underhanded shenanigans?

This all got me curious and I wanted to check out their website just for fun. If you go to the scientology site, you can take their personality test for free. You have to give an e-mail and phone number, so I gave just them bogus info so that crazy scientologists don't show up at my door and try to convert me! :wink: BTW - The test is 200 questions long, but they're quick to answer. http://www.scientology.org/oca.htm The result you get is a chart like the one below.

didn't Jenna Elfman (a noted scientologist) call some guy a baby-raper a couple years ago because he made fun of the religion?
