Scientology turns 33

The New York Daily News/July 31, 2002

Tom Cruise and John Travolta have some young allies in the Church of Scientology. The controversial sect is having its 33rd-anniversary gala Saturday at its L.A. Celebrity Center. A church spokesman tells us that among the actors expected are Erika Christensen (who played Michael Douglas' drug-addled daughter in "Traffic"), Christopher Masterson ("Malcolm in the Middle"), Jason Lee ("Almost Famous"), Lynsey Bartilson ("Grounded for Life") Michelle Stafford ("The Young and the Restless") Marisol Nichols ("Resurrection Blvd."), Leah Remini ("The King of Queens"), Pablo Santos ("Greetings From Tucson") and Catherine Bell ("JAG").

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard must be smiling somewhere.
