I thought that was one of the reasons she and Tom Cruise got divorced. Kidman’s a Catholic and wouldn’t convert to Scientology.

I thought she did, but then dropped it when they divorced. Take this FWIW: http://www.primechoice.com/philosophy/shelp/cruise.htm

Nothing I love more than a chance to spread unsubstantiated rumors about celebrities.

The supposed story is that the Cruise-Kidman marriage was essentially a fake. It was set up to squash rumors that Cruise is gay. Kidman agreed in order to advance her career (she was a pretty minor star in 1990). Part of the deal was that Kidman had to pretend, at least in public, that she was a Scientologist.

I’m going old-school. Yes, there was a time back in the seventies - before Travolta and Cruise - when Black was the Scientologist celebrity.
