As you know, we sometimes publish hot rumors in order to explain why we don't believe them. That's what I did here. You know that nearly all of my articles are focused on the facts, first. Hopefully, some of those ones will keep you reading us. :) Reader, I'm really sorry to hear that you feel this way.

L. Ron Hubbard says: “Celebrities are very Special people and have a very distinct line of dissemination. They have communication lines that others do not have and many medias [sic] to get their dissemination through.”

Clearly, the Church of $cientology, in an attempt to build the largest virtual Celebrity Centre ever seen by man, is bidding on Facebook *and* MySpace to build a fleet of poorly maintained MySpace celebrity profiles, artist pages, and lots and lots of seizure-inducing flashy graphics and scrolling text. It will be the highest bid ever made for the world's first and second greatest collection of bad grammar and poor spelling. Oh, and zombies and werewolves.

We'll have to pay the Church to make the epileptic attacks stop.
