I think we are witnessing a descent into madness.

[TheBigB]

I would happily try to do many things with Miss Johansson, but "convert" isn't one of them. : )

[JennysCool]

at which point the cool-headed ingénue politely excused herself.

My respect for Scarlett is elevated substantially.

[billybudd]

Scarlett is great.

[frogjerk]

Cruise: "Blasted Xenu! I had Scarlett in my grasp!"

[ambrose]

Odd. I thought Scientologists valued money above all else. If so, they're doing a piss poor job of protecting their meal ticket by allowing him to publicly exhibit the true nature of the Scientology movement.

[Pharmboy]

At least the idiot has good taste...

[fortunecookie]

It's just soooo creepy. I guess Katie jumped happily through that looking glass... First, the mandatory 'counseling' booths (or whatever they're called) at his movie shoots, now the attempts to 'convert' a co-star. What's next? At least Scarlett had the good sense to bolt. Bolt from this sci-fi turned into self-help now calling itself religion. Just think, he took her to the headquarters prior to casting. Was she aware of where they were going? Was she told why? Soooo creeeeepy.

[Petronski]

Scarlett Johansson pulled out of appearing in the second Mission: Impossible sequel after Tom Cruise tried to convert her to scientology...

Creep-ping!

[SevenofNine]

Paul did you read Fox news this morning Roger Freidman reporting that Katie Holmes disappear for 16 days nobody know where she was until she show up in arms of Tim Cruizeeee

[Petronski]

Sheesh.

I just pinged two people who are already here....

I knew this one had a head on her shoulders. Now, if Tommy Boy ever tried to convert (The Last Seduction's) Linda Fiorentino, he'd be a dead man.

[Dr.Hilarious]

How quickly everyone here forgets Ms. Scarlett doing a TV ad for John Kerry... ;)

[DoughtyOne]

This gives the term director's couch a run for the money.

Let's put you on the meter honey. We'll see if you measure up.

Is Tom intimating that you have to be a Scientologist or you can't co-star with him?

Hmmm, that would open a Pandora's Box wouldn't it.

[Cecily]

I'm waiting for Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) to show up with his camera crew to shoot the sci-fi film "Chubby Rain," "starring" Tom Cruise (if you haven't seen "Bowfinger," you won't know what I'm talking about).

[Dr.Hilarious]

I don't understand the comments about her being some kind of intellectual and applauding her action--would YOU have sat there listening to this kook going on for two hours before finding an excuse to leave? After five minutes I'd have said "Can we talk about the movie?" and then left.

[Central Scrutiniser]

I want Xenu to be released.

[mabelkitty]

She also didn't need the film.
She's doing just fine without his "hellp".

[SkyPilot]

"And then, I give Scarlett the E-Meter, and she is like.....how do I reach Level 4? Wow! Wooohhoooo! Man, this is F-U-N!"

[John Jorsett]

Johannsen is lucky to have made it out alive. Scientologists are more rabid than Hari Krishnas.

[incindiary]

Cruise opened a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingénue politely excused herself.

Smart girl.
