Recruitment and endorsements by Scientologist celebrities have always been very important to the Church of Scientology. Scientology actively recruits celebrities to promote Scientology to the public at large. Written Scientology policies describe recruiting celebrities in great detail. Scientology has had a written program governing celebrity recruitment since at least 1955, when L. Ron Hubbard created "Project Celebrity", offering rewards to Scientologists who recruited targeted celebrities.[1] A Scientology policy letter of 1976 states that "rehabilitation of celebrities who are just beyond or just approaching their prime" enables the "rapid dissemination" of Scientology.[2] Scientology is a system of beliefs and practices created by American pulp fiction[1][2] and science fiction [3] author L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 as a self-help philosophy. ...

Tom Cruise

Since 2005, actor Tom Cruise has been one of the best-recognized celebrity Scientologists; in many ways a public face for the religion. In 2004 International Scientology News printed that "Every minute of every hour someone reaches for LRH technology ... simply because they know Tom Cruise is a Scientologist."

Cruise has widely advocated the Church's position against psychiatry and particularly against the use of anti-depressants. In May 2005, Cruise excoriated Brooke Shields for both using and speaking in favor of the drug Paxil. Cruise also said, "Here is a woman, and I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented woman, you look at [and think], where has her career gone?" Shields responded that Cruise's statements about anti-depressants were "irresponsible" and "dangerous." Cruise later visited Shield's home and offered her what she termed "a heartfelt apology", which she accepted.[8] ... 2005 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December- → Wikimedia Commons has media related to: May 2005 Deaths in May May 26: Eddie Albert May 25: Ismail Merchant May 25: Sunil Dutt May 25: Graham Kennedy May 22: Thurl Ravenscroft May 21: Howard Morris May 21...

On June 24, 2005, Cruise spoke to Today Show host Matt Lauer on the supposed dangers of psychiatry and antidepressants during a promotional interview for his film War of the Worlds [3]. His intent may have backfired as late night comedians and morning radio programs frequently commented about Cruise's passionate frustration at Lauer's perceived lack of knowledge and respect for the topic's severity and mocked him as a radical celebrity. June 24 is the 175th day of the year (176th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 190 days remaining. ... This is a list of television-related events in 2005. ...

Isaac Hayes and South Park

In November 2005, the television show South Park satirized the Church of Scientology and its celebrity followers, including Cruise and John Travolta, in an episode called "Trapped in the Closet". In the episode, Stan, one of the show's four mischievous fourth graders, is hailed as the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard, while a cartoon Cruise locks himself in a closet and won't come out. South Park is an American, Emmy Award-winning animated television comedy series about four fourth grade school boys who live in the small town of South Park, Colorado. ...

The episode also mocks the beliefs taught to upper level Scientologists. It portrays the story of Xenu and the creation of the Thetans by the hydrogen bombs from OT III, and other aspects of the religion, while the words "This Is What Scientologists Actually Believe" appear at the bottom of the screen.


On March 13, 2006 (L. Ron Hubbard's birthday, a major holiday for Scientologists[9]), a press release announced that Isaac Hayes, a Scientologist, would be quitting his role on South Park due to "intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others." Dubbed 'Closetgate' by the Los Angeles Times, the controversy continued as Comedy Central, the channel that broadcasts South Park in the U.S., pulled the "Trapped in the Closet" episode at the last minute from a scheduled repeat on March 15, 2006. It was alleged that Tom Cruise threatened Paramount Pictures with withdrawal from promotion of his latest film Mission: Impossible III if the episode was broadcast. Viacom owns both Paramount and Comedy Central. Though Paramount and Cruise's representatives deny any threats, The Independent reports that "no one believes a word of it."[10] March 13 is the 72nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (73rd in leap years). ...

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone claimed to be "servants of Xenu" and declared that the "million-year war for Earth" had only just begun. Stone also told the Associated Press that he and Parker "never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin."[11] The Los Angeles Times reported that, "For Stone and Parker, 'Closetgate' will be the gift that keeps on giving." Using lines cut together from previous recordings, Hayes' character, Chef, was then portrayed in his final episode as having been brain-washed into becoming a child-molesting cultist by a group called the "Super Adventure Club".
