It's widely known that Tom Cruise, John Travolta, his wife Kelly Preston and Kirstie Alley are scientologists. Cruise is going through a very public divorce with actress Katie Holmes, and it is allegedly due to his ties with the religion.

Twelve years ago, Travolta made the film "Battlefield Earth," a film adapted from the novel by Ron L. Hubbard, the founder of Scientology.

In 2010 on Larry King Live, Alley said her religion helped her with weight loss, considering she'd only been fat three or four years of her life. "God knows where I'd be if I hadn't changed the things I have changed,"...

Yesterday NBC announced its 2012-13 primetime schedule, which includes several new comedies and a few more dramas.

Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, explained, "We've taken a few first steps toward a turnaround over this past season and now we're seeing a real opportunity to accelerate that process. We've got a lineup of new shows that will really get people to sit up and take notice.

"And with the Olympics coming this summer and two nights of 'The Voice' in the fall, we've also got the tools we need to give our shows the kind of launch they deserve."

Highlights include a...

Leading up to Valentine's Day, several actresses, singers and other stars wore red for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection on Wednesday.

February is Heart Month, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is reaffirming its commitment to increasing awareness about heart disease among women.

At the fashion show Rose McGowan showed off a little leg in a gown with an assymetrical neckline. Minka Kelly wore head to toe sequins, while Rebecca Romijn's strapless dress included ruffles on the bodice.

If you tuned into the season premiere of "Two And A Half Men" last night expecting one last glimpse of Charlie Harper, you were sadly disappointed. Rather, you were treated to an array of guest stars, and Charlie’s replacement, Ashton Kutcher, as Walden Schmidt, a hairy, gangly innocent, who apparently is “hung like an elephant.” Oh dear. It’s never a good sign when a show chooses casual nudity over clever, biting repartee. By offering up Kutcher as a classic ‘himbo’ over Charlie Sheen’s cynical roué, the show has drawn a line in the sand. Sadly, there may not be many who wish to step over...

Accidentally on Purpose creator Claudia Lonow describes her new fall show, a comedy based on a memoir of the same name by Mary F. Pols, as being an unconventional romantic comedy. Jenna Elfman's character is a 30-something - well actually 37 as the pilot is quick to constantly point out - newspaper woman who gets pregnant after a one-night stand with a 20-something (the adorable Jon Foster) who lives in his van. From there, the two move in together because the guy is determined to do what he can to be a good dad, despite being scared to death and not really having a frame of reference on ho...

In 1997, Dharma & Greg launched Jenna Elfman to stardom. A movie career and syndication followed. Now it's time to try again. After some TV guest spots and short-lived projects that didn't quite go all the way, Elfman thinks she's found a winner with the new CBS sitcom Accidentally on Purpose.

"I love comedy so much and I was bound and determined to find another great show," Elfman said. "I count my blessings every day because it's been quite a challenging last four or five years of my life. I have been doing nothing but trying to find another show to do on television that makes me hap...

Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen is expecting her first child - just months after her character on the hit show gave birth.

The Scottish actress, who shot to fame in Ricky Gervais' Extras, is due to deliver her first tot with husband Terence Beesley in the autumn.

Jensen, who quit her role as Christina in Ugly Betty earlier this year, is "excited" about the pregnancy, according to People.com.

The star is set to move to another TV show - she has taken a part as Jenna Elfman's best pal in new sitcom Accidentally on Purpose.

Former Dharma & Greg star Jenna Elfman is returning to TV on the CBS series "Accidentally on Purpose." She will play Billie, a single woman who finds herself "accidentally" pregnant after a one-night stand with a much younger guy, and she decides to keep the baby... and the guy.

Jenna has really been off the radar since she starred in Keeping The Faith in 2000 with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson and "Dharma & Greg" ended in 2002.

Now she's back. What do you think of Jenna's return to primetime? Is this a good thing or is it time for some fresh blood? Let us know in the comments!

When Michael Cudlitz and I last spoke, back in April, I used some, well, (ahem) colorful language during an interview junket -- a junket that everyone but me thought was on live local television -- to describe his character on Southland, Officer John Cooper. We finally get a chance to go one-on-one and clear the air over that moment and, more importantly, discuss tonight's season finale of Southland (airing at 10 pm ET on NBC) along with his experience on Band of Brothers and working with John Cusack in Grosse Point Blank.

CBS announced today the addition of four new series to strengthen its already top rated primetime lineup for the Fall 2009-2010 season.

So, have you seen this year's comedy about an overweight, overzealous, loser-y mall cop who takes his job way too seriously and is hopelessly in love with a fellow shopping center employee? If you're not sure whether I'm referring to January's hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop or the newest Seth Rogen comedy Observe and Report (in theaters now), don't be too hard on yourself: Both flicks have eerily similar plotlines. This isn't the first time two films with the same subject matter have been released within a year of one another; Hollywood has a talent for redundancy (see: recycling and ripping off)...

Ashley Jensen is walking away from her regular role on Ugly Betty to play Jenna Elfman's best friend in another sitcom.

Jensen, who plays Christina on the hit show, will quit "Ugly Betty" at the end of the current season so she can take a role in Elfman's "Accidentally on Purpose," in which the former Dharma And Greg star plays a movie critic who finds herself pregnant.

But Jensen won't be saying goodbye to Betty forever - sitcom producer Silvio Horta tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "While we're sad that Ashley will not be returning next season as a series regular, she is sti...

The time and financial constraints of the writers' strike are being felt this TV pilot season. The broadcast networks are developing half the number of pilots they usually do, ordering presentations in lieu of pilots for some and giving others the straight to series order.

Aside from NBC, which announced its schedule ahead of the pack last week, the networks have kept their plans for fall shrouded in mystery. We'll learn more during the networks' May upfronts. While we can't make any guarantees about which series will get the vote of confidence, here are some promising players to keep...

I suppose Jezebel James only wanted to stay for a short return. After a mere three episodes, and ratings that made "Arrested Development" look like "American Idol," FOX dropped the ax on what was once its hotly-anticipated sitcom "Jezebel James."

At the network up fronts back in May 2007, "James" was highly lauded and seen by FOX as a potential tent-pole sitcom around which an entire evening of programming could be built. It seemed like a surefire hit when the series received a full 13-episode order right off the bat and was slated to debut in the coveted timeslot following "American ...

With a ban in Germany on the horizon, scientology has come under severe media scrutiny and public debate in recent years. Ever since Tom Cruise defamed Brooke Shields during post-partum-depression-gate '07, the quasi-religion has been a heated topic. It's been called an oppressive cult. A money-guzzler. A fraud. And it has something to do with an ancient alien named Xenu. So why do so many public faces flock to the Scientology church's doors?

John Travolta, Jenna Elfman, Katie Holmes, Kirstie Alley, Jason Lee and Isaac Hayes are all reported Scientologists. For most of them, their beli...

Actress Jenna Elfman has dismissed rumors Tom Cruise's marriage to Katie Holmes is in trouble. Reports are claiming the Batman Begins actress is being forced to adopt Cruise's spiritual beliefs and is being kept in a "prison-like" environment.

But fellow Scientologist Elfman rubbishes the claims as nonsense, she says, "It's so absolutely not that. It's hard to give a detailed explanation on something that's simple. Honestly, do you have a great boyfriend or girlfriend? It's not a big deal, right? You have fun hanging out, and you like talking and sharing your ideas. It's exciting. Tha...

Former Dharma & Greg in-laws Jenna Elfman and Susan Sullivan will play mother and daughter from the Walkers lifelong nemesis family, in special guest starring roles in the episode entitled "Game Night" (airing April 15), on ABC's hit freshman drama series, Brothers & Sisters.

Actress Jenna Elfman has announced she's expecting a baby boy with her husband Bodhi. The couple revealed the happy news in January but refused to name the sex of their firstborn.

But the former Dharma & Greg star broke the news while promoting her guest spot on an upcoming episode of TV drama Brothers & Sisters.

Jenna Elfman, 35, and her husband Bodhi Elfman, 37, are expecting their first child together. The couple married in February 1995 after first meeting at an audition for a Sprite soda commercial in 1991.

The pair confirms the news to Entertainment Tonight, saying they are "elated about the impending birth" and are "overjoyed to add an exciting new addition to their loving home."

Jenna was most recently seen on TV starring in the 2006 sitcom "Courting Alex."

Brooke Shields has proven she's forgiven and forgotten her bitter feud with Tom Cruise by flying to Italy for the movie hunk's weekend wedding to Katie Holmes. Shields and Scientologist Cruise fell out when the star publicly berated the actress for promoting antidepressants for postpartum depression in TV interviews and in her book "Down Came The Rain."

The pair has since made up over a peace breakfast at Shields' home and the actress has become close friends with Holmes, who gave birth to her first child Suri on the same day and in the same hospital as Shields welcomed baby Grier.

Rebecca Romijn's new TV show "Pepper Dennis" and Pamela Anderson's sitcom Stacked are two of the casualties in one of TV's most ruthless cut job. The two shows join a long list of programs that will not return this autumn for new series on their respective networks.

In "Pepper Dennis," Romijn played an unlucky in love reporter, while Anderson was praised for her role as a busty bookstore employee.

Also cancelled, according to TV Guide, are long-running comedy The Bernie Mac Show, Jenna Elfman's "Courting Alex," doomed Friends spin-off Joey and cult drama Everwood.

Actress Jenna Elfman has attacked some of her past co-stars for treating film crews "like c**p". The actress, 34, who has worked with a host of big names including Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Ben Stiller, Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn, refuses to name the badly behaved stars.

She says, "A lot of my peers that I've worked with, they're not on time. They think it's absolutely OK to have attitude and treat people like c**p. And they think nothing of it. They have a sense of some sort of entitlement, where I don't know where that comes from."
