Though they often behave like godless heathens, the stars are "just like us," as the old saying goes. They, too, search for divinity and meaning in their lives--a quest that can sometimes lead to trouble. The latest spiritual superstar pitfalls:
Cruise: he's number 2Madonna has been accused of using her charity, Raising Malawi, as a front to raise funds for the Kabbalah Center. Her reps are calling said accusations "outrageous, incorrect, inaccurate, hurtful and malicious."
- The internet is all a-twitter with rumors of Britney's possible conversion to Islam.
- Soccer star Kaka, Fifa "World Player of the Year," may be in some hot water due to his ties to an apparently corrupt evangelical church.
- Andrew Morton, author of the unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise, which paints him as "Scientology’s de facto second in command," is standing by his book despite threats of legal action. It's in bookstores today.
- Better yet, check out Cruise's terrifying Scientology Indoctrination Vid, over at Gawker.

Is Cruise a hostage ?
On Gawker, somebody wrote: "Is he crazy? Maybe. But he has the right to believe what he believes."
From his mimic, I would say that he is more likely scared, pressured by somebody present in the room when the recording was made, does not believe a word of what he says, thinks that the whole business is embarrassing and would rather be some place else.

I think that Britney is
I think that Britney is just showing off. She always wanted to be more than she is, trying to be everyones boss. She is very wrong, now we can all see her real face. She goes to a drug rehab treatment now almost every month, because that`s what she is.
