Scientology saved her life? I thought it was Jenny Craig.

So, "hostility against people of faith based solely on their religious beliefs" is bad, but hostility against people who take Zoloft or go see a shrink is A-OK? Hypocrites.

The religion is bizarre, but I could probably live with it were it not for their "psychiatry is crap and evil" bullshit.

Plus, we know Kirstie isn't a good Scientologist, since she had to go on Jenny Craig to lose weight. L. Ron would not approve! Doesn't she know Scientology cures everything, including diabetes, dyslexia and obesity?

If only Scientologists can help at accident sites and when two skyscrapers are brought down by fuel-engorged jetliners commandeered by crazy terrorists, why can't they get Kirstie to keep the weight off? That's all I want to know.

actually, one thing I can say for sure is that ALL the contributors to the pale-copy-of-gofugyourself that is "Fashion Police" are only too happy to make fun of Muslin.

@Trixie from Toronto: That's a pretty good question.

But hey, we shouldn't laugh at Scientology. Without it, how would I know that a Christian with first aid training, a Wiccan RN, or an atheist ERT are useless at the scene of an accident?

@lalaland13:
Yeah, you would think she'd be their worst nightmare, since she's pretty out of control. In fact, I'm surprised they haven't gotten her off the streets.

@tewkesbury: Muslin is the source of all the world's problems these days.

i was flipping through this and laughed reading it. i thought it was the first funny thing these fashion police have said. *retreats to bunker to hide from scientologists*

The best part is, "commit to a thorough examination of why you have chosen to foster animosity and bias against Scientologists."

Even their legal briefs are recruitment letters.

Ms. Lo, unfortunately, was incorrect.

The "church" made her sue. This is like when Isaac Hayes quit South Park. Xenu is so damn sensitive. Grow a pair, Xenu, this is America. If you're going to hide your brand of crazy behind the cloak of "religion" at least acknowledge that in this country we can make fun of religion all we want. Think of all the Mormon underwear/Priest and alter boy/Jerry Falwell funeral jokes at stake.

I don't know WHY everyone is so freaked out about Scientology. I couldn't think of a more annoying room of people than John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, TomCruise, Jenna Elfman, Leah Remini and Nancy Cartwight. Lock them all in together and let them each out-ego each other to death.

That badger comment about Bai Ling is an insult to badgers but I don't see any of them getting badger lawyers to writing crazy letters on letterhead.

@Meerkat: I'm surprised they couldn't get her off the tapenade.

So basically "Scientology is the new Black"?

I think she's starting to turn the argument of "you wouldn't say ___ about blacks/jews/gays" into a new form of Godwin's.

Give her a break. She played the only Vulcan ever to cry.

@KarenUhOh: True, that looks more like the kind of thing that would attract those crazy alien worshipers.

Can Scientology (and that word itself is just such a fucking insult to science) just shut up already? No one cares about your stupid cult half as much as you think we do. So stop running off your damn mouths with your crazy assertions and bigotry.

Why anyone would *pay* for religion is beyond me.

What the fuck? Is someone somewhere mocks a Scientologist, Kirstie Alley's lawyer writes a strongly worded letter?

Why hasn't Defamer been served with an official notice of hurt feelings, then?

Scientologists are such publicity whores.

@Sweet Panda Love: If someone does send Defamer a letter, I propose sending them in response a photocopy of a hand flipping the bird.

I just think it would be cool to have a name like "Ms. Lo." Sounds like some kind of cool Bond villain, or at least a really excellent villain sidekick.

Wait. I heard that the Jolie-Pitt's were fostering "animosity" and "bias". Guess it fell through. Shame, 'cos those kids needed a home.

can we a class action lawsuit or something, so this SELF-HELP group will stop calling themselves a god damn religion... which brings up another point, all you scie-o freaks wanna burn shrinks at the stake, yet you preach exactly the same thing they do, sans mood altering drugs of course. you use big words and concepts to talk circles around the vict... err client, to get them to do better for themselves and charge them money, while setting it up so they keep coming back for more.

listen here you scie-os, do whatever you like if it helps you get through your day. you can shove moose balls in your nose and blow oprah, while watching pursuit of happyness if you like, but can we please dispense with the public outcries of persecution, please?! there is no persecution. it's simply commentary about what most of world sees as psychotic behavior.

Not to Scientology: IT'S A JOKE!!!!!!!

Now go grow a sense of humor. That is all.

Isn't Kagon one of the aliens on The Simpsons?

And why Kirstie Alley? Why wasn't it a letter from Tom Cruise's (or someone else who's famous) lawyers? Cheap publicity ploy? Maybe!

@Trixie from Toronto:

You don't understand. According to the "church", the 9/11 attacks and the Holocaust were caused by psychiatrists.

It's all about the KSW, folks.

kirstie alley = risk I tell ya

"Kagon"? Totally an alien.

I'd love to see the letter she wrote to the Seinfeld show about Jerry's joke. But oh wait, they're recruiting him now aren't they?

I think Mr. Barry Felson might want to hear from all of us about what we think of his letter...

@meech:

If you watch the Tom Cruise video, he's calling for genocide against all psychiatrists and psychologists. He wants non-Scientologists to be something only read about in history books.

That's a little upsetting.

I think someone needs to give Kirstie and Barry the phone number to call a waaaaaaambulance.

She needs a hobby and Barry needs some ambulances to chase.

@vanillacokehead: Fan of medical transport, are you?

I don't think it's splitting hairs, but why is the letter addressed "Gentlemen?" Everyone knows only women care about celebrity gossip.

@Seanibus: everytime i read "ms. lo" in the letter, i kept thinking they were referring to jennifer lopez.

@lalaland13:
Touche!

@louisev:
Actually, they're rerecruiting him.
He sort of belonged to it years ago.

To everyone else:
Please spell it $cientology!

When I first glanced at the letter head, I read it "Goldman and Klingon". Heh.

"Ms. Lo should be dismissed for her narrow-minded comment. You should apologize and commit to a thorough examination of why you have chosen to foster animosity and bias against $cientologists."

It could just be me, but that just seems like someone's parent (or a teacher) punishing their kid for name-calling or something, only with a more "grown-up" vocabulary.

@NotReadyForPrimeTime: It feels like that's more than a little upsetting. Maybe Tommy Boy's film about WWII infiltrated his pea brain a little too much.

@jewess: Damn that muslin!

I'm one of the five people in the world that enjoyed Kirstie's Jenny Craig commercials, so I'm going to pretend she doesn't know about this.

Kirstie Alley is such a doof. She refused to join the Cheers cast for a reunion show because Frasier Crane is a psychiatrist! This, during a time when her "career" consisted of falling through a kitchen window to shill for Cost Plus Imports.

I wonder if the writer who compared Kirstie Alley's bright yellow dress to a Scientology Volunteer Minister tent got a letter from The Lawyers?

@scarletvirtue:

Considering that Tom Cruise made that speech three years before his WWII movie, I would say he is even more "infiltrated" than anyone realizes.

@NotReadyForPrimeTime: Good (and scary) point, there.

$cientology-fronted genocide is a disturbing thought - are they planning to start a jihad of their own? And will Tom Cruise use his behemoth medal as a shield against us SPs?

ADL Envy. The Mormons have it too. It's interesting how goyim get to be given sacred golden tablets or ride in a special spaceship to become as endangered as Jews. We never got anything so lucky. Just Moshe and a bunch of drab rules that make December an awfully dull place sometimes.

How DARE you omit Lisa-Marie and Beck AND Priscilla? Nerve, man. You got SOME feckin' nerve.@meech:
