Jennifer Lopez's dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years, her best friend is devout Scientologist Leah Remini, and she spends a great deal of time with active members Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Cruise was even named by the church as their best chance for a "Christ-like figure", someone who can deliver their message to the world (more on that here). Despite all this, Lopez says she has no interest in joining the cult … the church … whatever. And yet:
On Wednesday's "American Idol," Ryan Seacrest asked the singer what she thought of the judges' critiques of the contestants. Lopez said that, in contrast to the stinging put-downs of Simon Cowell, she believed that "concentrating on the rightness brings more rightness." "Rightness" comes up frequently in the lexicon of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Former OT III-level church member Margery Wakefield writes in "The Language of Scientology" that "rightness" was one of his buzzwords.
