$cientology is now sponsoring a NASCAR driver:

Kenton Gray will drive for the Dianetics team. He credits the book with helping him become a better race car driver

I'd be highly surprised if either of them take up the offer. Jolie is a pretty hard-core Objectivist, and Pitt is of good, solid Missouri country stock, neither of which lend themselves to readily adopting that kind of hocus-pocus in anything but a cynical, career-furthering way. Even that might be pushing it.

I dunno if Pitt's Missouri upbringing will matter much to be honest. It's not like he lives here in Missouri any longer. No, he's hanging out in Hollyweird now. Has been for decades. And besides, Missouri has many different pockets of cult activity. I've met a lot of weird people here in my time.

Pretty much, Randy.

I wonder how they can possibly expect to win any races when both the driver of the car and the car itself will have to be e-metered and checked for thetans every single pitstop.

And as far as Tom Cruise is concerned, given the dismal performance of his last film and the fact that the studios are tired of him hijacking their PR machine to promote his religion, I don't think we'll be seeing too much more of him.

Gah hahahaha! Nice one. XD

Oh, I sincerely hope you're right.
