The Cult Church is planning on opening a center in Harlem, and feel using the Smiths and Kimora will help bankroll bring in new members from around the community.

According to Radar magazine’s cover story

"Scientology Under Siege":“The Church has also set its sights on African Americans, opening up a center in Harlem in 2003 and making a strong play for Hollywood supercouple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett.”

Now, Will Smith’s rep says it’s absolutely not true. However, his friends notice he’s definitely getting more and more involved in the cult church. Jada is too.

“It’s not so much that anyone is upset that Will is becoming a Scientologist,” the source added after seeing a copy of the nine-page Radar piece. “It’s that as he becomes more involved, you’d think he’d sort of help fly the flag with Tom (Cruise), who seems to only get a bad rap for it, while Will does this and comes through just fine.”

As for Kimora Lee Simmons, the Radar piece makes the case for including her among the ranks of celebrity Scientologists. The magazine points to a 2006 gathering where Scientology leader David Miscavige “spoke glowingly of Kimora Lee Simmons’ efforts to distribute a personalized edition of Hubbard’s “The Way to Happiness,” featuring her image on the cover, to school kids in New Jersey.” Simmons’ rep said that the designer/model is not a Scientologist.

I think they’re all looney. Tom Cruise must be so pleased with himself.
