"Firstly, he's a glorious man and he's very kind and sweet - that's what you say if you want to continue to work in the film industry."
"But I was thinking, 'He's a member of that religion Scientology, I'm interested in that'. So every so often I'd say things like, 'Oh Tom, sometimes I'm a bit lost in life', to see if he would try and get me in. He'd go, 'I dunno, read the Bible'. Or, 'Tom, I wish I had a way of thinking more positively about the future'. That man had no interest in getting me in Scientology at all.
"If there's a cult that doesn't want me, I want to know why!"
LOL, I love that Tom Cruise told Russell Brand to read the bible. Like, what? Also, Tom might be batshit insane, but he's not unintelligent and he probably knew what Russell was trying to do, which is why he got the answer he did. Poor Russell, though. It's a dark day when not even Scientology will take you in. />
Russell Brand is a zany prankster and generally a pretty bizarre dude (but a chill one I'll give him that). So it's no surprise that while working with Tom Cruise on that horrendous shit show that is Rock of Ages, Russell thought it would be fun to see if Xenu's right hand man might be interested in bringing him into the fold. The short answer? He totally wasn't.

Well, you can't say Beyoncé doesn't aim high. Speaking of the president, though, remember Bey & Jay-Z's little jaunt to Cuba? Well, the actual president, Barack Obama, said he knew nothing about it and has more important things on his plate.
"I wasn't familiar that they were taking the trip," Obama told NBC's Today. "My understanding is I think they went through a group that organizes these educational trips down to Cuba."
"This is not something the White House was involved in. We've got better things to do."
Oh, snap! />
Beyoncé is a modern day feminist, so in her eyes, there's nothing women can't do. That includes daughter Blue Ivy Carter, who she believes could grow up to be president if that's what she wants to do. Her statements come as part of the Chime For Change campaign, a cause that aims to promote education, health and justice for women everywhere and that a lot of celebs have taken part in (see video above).
