So Suri Cruise has been photographed wearing high heels. At age three. As one friend of mine, a downtown nightclub owner, put it, “I’m trying to come up with a good reason for that to happen, but there just isn’t one.” Theoretically, it’s possible that the toddler chose to wear the shoes. But toddlers also choose to eat Play-Doh and shove thumbtacks up their noses. In fact, one of the primary jobs for parents of three-year-olds is to keep their child from doing things that he or she chooses to do.
All of which means that Suri’s parents (or any one of their menagerie of handlers and staff) made the decision to put her in pumps. Which is impressive, considering she has only been able to walk for around a year and a half. But apparently it’s never too early to start introducing girls to outward displays of sexualization, especially when they’re celebrities. In fact, with her trendy black leggings and chic designer coats to accompany those kiddie-heels, Suri already resembles a Rachel Zoe protégé on the track to premature starlet burnout. Just stick an oversized Starbucks cup in her hand and slap some face-swallowing sunglasses on her nose, and she’s Lindsay Lohan for the toddler set. At this rate, Suri could hit the booze-and-arrests phase before her age reaches the double digits. Now that’s precocity!
It’s an interesting time for the X chromosome, with the so-called “Man-cession” leaving boatloads of men out of work and promoting women to the role of primary breadwinner. Meanwhile, the gender balance is slowly but surely shifting in high-powered fields like medicine and law, with women outnumbering men in many colleges and graduate programs.

Two French branches of the controversial Church of Scientology founded by Sci-Fi writer L. Ron Hubbard, have been convicted of "fraud in an organised gang" and have been ordered to pay a fine of more than half a million pounds by a court in France.
Two female ex-members brought the case against the branches; the Scientology Celebrity Centre and a related bookshop in Paris, after they claimed they'd been pressured into handing over money to the organisation and harrassed into buying various Scientology endorsed self-help products.
The judge stopped short of a total ban on the Church in France meaning it and its estimated 45,000 members in the country can continue their activities, and carry on recruiting.
Four church officials were also handed suspended sentences, but it's expected they'll appeal.Two French branches of the controversial Church of Scientology founded by Sci-Fi... more
Bronson Pinchot is most famous for his portrayal of goofy foreigner Balki Bartokomous on 'Perfect Strangers,' but the actor made his film debut in 'Risky Business.' In a candid interview Pinchot admits the experience gave him a less-than-favorable impression of co-star Tom Cruise. In fact, Pinchot says, the superstar was "was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth" at the age of 20.Bronson Pinchot is most famous for his portrayal of goofy foreigner Balki Bartokomous... more

Many of them are being reported by the SPT as feeling more secure in coming out now that high ranking defectors – the ones previously interviewed by the paper – are telling their story. One of the more frightening parts:
(Steve) Hall joined the church marketing unit in 1987, which brought him into more frequent contact with Miscavige, who holds the title Chairman of the Board, or COB. Hall said it was a shock the first time he saw Miscavige attack an executive, Ray Mithoff. The second time was like something out of a cartoon. Hall says Miscavige came up behind two seated executives – Marc Yager and Guillaume Lesevre – grabbed their heads and banged them together. Then he ground them against each other. Lesevre had blood coming out of his ear.
This story corroborates earlier reports, though surely, you can look at any of this stuff with a healthy amount of skepticism: a newspaper has a great scoop on a story, because they’re located within immediate proximity of it. The SPT has a long history with Scientology, and has always been coming up with this stuff. But Scientology seems to take the SPT’s claims very, very seriously, and each time, their denials of their articles get more vehement, which, of course, the paper runs in full.
The Church of Scientology provided 25 affidavits and declarations from current and former church executives and staffers who uniformly describe David Miscavige as a kind, compassionate, inspiring leader who never has been violent or abusive, physically or mentally. Yael Lustgarten’s statement was typical. “In all the times I have worked with Mr. Miscavige or seen him working with others, I have never known him to be furious, mad, pissed off, much less hit, punch, kick, slap, choke, push, or inflict any form of abuse,” wrote Lustgarten, who left the church staff in 2004 after 18 years. “I never witnessed that, ever.”
So, essentially, the conflict with reporting on Scientology boils down to: ex-members talking, and the Church of Scientology trotting out denials and members who talk about what a gem Miscavige is.
Maybe if there was video or audio of this kind of thing, somewhere – a definitive audio/visual presentation of Miscavage’s insanity – like so many of the other internal videos Scientology’s tried to keep under wraps, stories like this one:
Miscavige punished top staffers Norman Starkey and Greg Wilhere, ordering them to camp out in tents for days in a high, open area of the mountainside base, near the Bonnie View mansion built for Hubbard. They were assigned hard labor and forced to shower with a garden hose.
This one:
As many as 400 staffers were summoned to the mess hall, where a small group of staffers were given special seats of dishonor. Church executives would introduce them with scorching assessments of their recent performance. “They had to get up one at a time into a microphone and confess their crimes,” said Jeff Hawkins, who left the Sea Org in 2005. The crowd screamed and jeered.
And this one:
Miscavige drew close. “We’re standing there sort of at attention. He looks at me, he looks at Rinder. He looks at me, he looks back at Rinder. And then suddenly, with violence, he flashed his arms up and grabbed Mike Rinder’s head and body-slammed his head into the cherry wood cabinets. “He lifted Mike Rinder nearly off of his feet and smashed his head into the wall, and he banged his head into the wall three times, just BANG, BANG, BANG!”Many of them are being reported by the SPT as feeling more secure in coming out now... more
