Scarlett Johansson escapes Cruises clutches
MI:3 star reportedly wanted the starlet to embrace Scientology

Did Tom Cruise try to recruit Scarlett Johansson to Scientology?
The Lost in Translation star was expected to co-star with Cruise in Mission: Impossible III but was dropped because of scheduling conflicts. But it seems that there may have been other conflicts as well. Cruise invited Johansson to a Scientology center where he showed her literature about joining his controversial church, according to a report. After two hours of proselytizing, according to RadarMagazine.com, 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.
The Scoop called Johanssons mother/manager for comment and she declined, referring us to Johanssons publicist, who didnt return calls or emails. Cruises rep didnt respond to requests for comment, but Rick Ross of CultNews.com told the Scoop: Is this Tom Cruises version of a first date? Its becoming increasingly difficult to make distinctions between his personal, professional and religious life. Tom Cruise and Scientology seem intent on recruiting a hot young star. Apparently, Scarlett Johansson flunked her test, but Katie Holmes passed.

Are you sure you saw Lost In Translation? I saw it and I found her to be a plain Jane starring in the worst movie I have seen in recent years. Boring, boring, boring! And I mean the girl and the movie.
Combine that with the "Pat and Kenny read Oprah transcripts" segment on Letterman, and you'll probably have a perfct understanding of the incident.
I though the movie and acting were awesome...

Scientology was invented so the Jehovah's Witnesses would have something to laugh at.
"or does it seem that Tom Cruise has gone mad?"
He made MI:3, I'd say so!
He'd be another Mel Gibson, blackballed by Big Hollywood and forced to go the independent route. And he wouldn't be getting interviewed every other day, that's for sure.
I was going to ask why you revived this until I saw post 17!
Thanks!
