Another OT Bites the Dust….

Wowza, Scientology can not seem to catch a break. When the crazy pants religion isn’t getting skewered in the press or mocked by cartoons, its own spokespeople or followers are doing the damage. The most recent embarrassment to come to the “church” is the departure of long time Scientologist and successful screen writer Paul Haggis.

The Oscar winning writer, scribe of “Million Dollar Baby” and “Crash”, wrote a scathing and quite revealing letter to the church about his necessary departure from the religion. Haggis, who of late was not an active member in the church, was appalled by the church’s public participation in Proposition 8, the piece of legislation that made gay marriage in California illegal. Haggis was upset over the church’s position on civil rights and their recent in promoting conspiracy theories with multiple publications. More on Another OT Bites the Dust…. after the JUMP

Five Things….

We’ll get to the Mad Men review in a bit, but lets get to the five things we missed over the weekend….

“District 9″, the little thriller that could, came in at number one at the box office this weekend. The low-budget sci-fi flick, written and directed by newcomer Neill Bloomkamp and starring a list of no-names, pulled in $37 Million this weekend, thanks to critical praise and a successful viral marketing campaign. And while the movie has only been in theaters three days, there is already talk for a sequel. Got to love Hollywood.

Earlier today, Good Morning America got the scoop (HAHAHAHAA) on the latest cast to grace the dancing stage for the always train wreck “Dancing with the Stars”. The only time I have ever caught this program is while Joel McHale was mocking it on “The Soup”, but I might have to check out this shit shack this season with this lineup? With the dance stylings of Melissa Joan “Clarissa Explains it All” Hart, Aaron Carter, Kelly Osborne, Donny Osmond, Kathy Ireland and TOM DELAY how could I pass it up? And yes you read correctly, Tom DeLay will be making me nauseous on a bi-weekly basis with his close proximity to spandex and half dressed ladies. This could be the most amazing season ever!
