For those who were wondering why she was showing up on Celebrity Scientologist lists, she debunks - or rather explains - the rumors [on Larry King Live (hosted by Ryan Seacrest)](http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0605/26/lkl.01.html) : > [@](#): > > CALLER: But my question is for Katharine. Katharine, I’ve been hearing the scientology rumors and just wondered if you could address those. Are you a scientologist? > > MCPHEE: No, I’m not a scientologist. > > SEACREST: Where does that rumor come from? > > MCPHEE: Where does the rumor come from? > > JACKSON: Yes, what is that? > > MCPHEE: Well, OK, basically, if you want to get into my personal life, fine. I was dating somebody like less than a year ago, who was a scientologist, is a scientologist. And, you know, I’m young. I am still finding my way in the world. I was like really into this guy, and he was totally scientologist. > > So I took like a couple of courses and things like that. And they put my name on the Internet. They totally exposed me, and so everybody thought I was a scientologist. And I am no longer affiliated with scientology. Just so ya know… ---

I love how it’s now automatically considered a bad thing to be a $cientologist, so that people have to explain themselves if they’re dabbling. We’re winning!!! ---

Hey, Kirk Cameron and Mel Gibson haven’t been doing Christianity any favours… If she had been a Scientologist and won, you’d better believe there would have been tons of conspiracy theories floating around. ---

Dang. All of those sex fantasies I had about her revolved around tempting her away from Scientology. I’ll have to think up a new angle. ---

It’s not the first time Seacrest has filled in for Larry King. [This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFjOki6CBqs) clip of him flirting with Anderson Cooper is too adorable for words. ---

[And now](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/indexd?blogid=7), it appears, Tom and Katie want to kidnap and brainwash McPhee until she returns to the fold … uh, I mean, Tom and Katie want McPhee to sing at their wedding.
