\*\* superstar \*\*, I’m sure you were probably kidding about the scientology thing, but I believe that I read about Elvis studying it for a little bit while he was alive. I think the comment he made about scientologist was that they were “All head, and no heart”.

Just thought I’d share!

I hope this makes sense:

If he had lived, I believe he would be dead by now from other causes (heart attack, etc).

**Breezy** yes it was a joke, it just seems that all the big stars have something to devote themselves to. Either Yoga, Pilates, drugs and a very common one amoungst the more long term celebrities is Scientology.

I know very little about it, but it would not suprise me if he was an elder or something.
