Boing Boing points us to this list of celebrity Scientologists. Surely you remember Scientology? It used to be the hot Hollywood "religion" until a Madonna-powered Kabbalah rolled up and rendered L. Ron's gang the mouth-breathing, red-headed stepchild of cults inclusionary spiritual inspiration societies. Now any wannabes looking to network through their cult-y contacts better rock the red string instead of open their wallets to chase away thetans.

Included in the list of active Scientologists are some actors who had close calls with a lifetime of inscrutable jargon and brunches at the Celebrity Centre, such as Brad Pitt:

Name: Brad Pitt

Profession: actor

Status: out

Premiere: "drifted thru", took his courses while dating Juliette Lewis. Interest waned after it.
