Nancy Cartwright, the voice behind Bart Simpson, has been awarded Scientology's Patron Laureate Award after she donated $10 million in 2007.

Cartwright's gift -- almost two times her annual salary from "The Simpsons" -- puts her top of a list of celebrity benefactors. She gave even more than Tom Cruise who has donated $5 million in the last four years.

Kirstie Alley gave $5 million last year.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston gave $1 million, while Priscilla Presley was handed the Patron Award for a donation of $50,000.

The prizes were handed out at a top-secret ceremony in Florida.

Aye-Carrumba, it says the ceremony was in Florida, I expect that means in Clearwater. A "religious" tax exemption is handy.

Are poor people allowed to be Scientologists?

I’m thinking I need to join...

[ShadowAce]

Why was the ceremony “top-secret”? Aren’t they proud of their “religion”?

[Red Badger]

Hmmm..............I didn’t do it, nobody saw me do it, you can’t prove a thing!......

I’m beginning to think that L.Ron was a more astute student of human psychology than P.T. Barnum.

Does this mean she gets extra points when she travels after death?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The AMT will still hit her.

[Larry Lucido]

Geez, can’t anybody keep a secret anymore?

[gridlock]

Good thing The Simpsons suck these days, or I would find this report distressing.

They jumped the shark so many years ago, they can't remember when...

No moola, no "salvation". Get lost, peasant.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I knew there was a reason I never liked that show.

A fool and his money are soon parted. Or her money, in this case.

As L. Ron Hubbard once said, “If you want to make alot of money, don’t start a business, start a religion.”

It takes big bucks to keep Lord Xenu in prison.

A fool and his money can also throw one hellofa party !

If you have a few hundred thousand dollars laying around you can join.

I still love the pre-2002 Simpson's on re-runs and haven't watched a Sunday episode in 6 years.
