Something weird is going on with Cruise. I mean weirder than normal. Cruise and Travolta have been Scientologists forever. Travolta was always talking about it. Cruise never discussed it publically much at all. I remember when Battlefield Earth came out, and Cruise refused to comment on it publically. Travolta was busy yapping his gums at how brilliant L. Ron Hubbard was. Then, the last two years or so, ever since Cruise divorced Nicole Kidman, he has become Super Scientologist. I am wondering if the church has some dirt on him.

The death of L Ron Hubbard

The Church of Scientology is loudly voicing their strong resistance to what they call "psych drugs". It is therefore ironic that the founder of Dianetics and Scientology, L Ron Hubbard, was taking a "psych drug" when he died. This is not unusual in itself, since bitter old men often go psychotic when dying. Witnesses testified that Hubbard died acting like a raving lunatic.

This is from the 1983 edition of the Physician's Desk Reference, pg 1571. It was a couple years out of date when Hubbard died. Vistaril is the psych drug found in Hubbard's body.

You may also remember that during the same time that you are referring to, Cruise and Kidman both made an attempt to leave the cult. It would up with their divorce, and as you say, Cruise becoming a super-$cientologist.
