Celeb Centre Opens Its Doors To You In Exchange For $17 And Your Home Address

By Ryan - Monday August 08th 2005

Come on, fess up…how many times have you been sitting there at the Bourgeois Pig or that sushi joint on Franklin, gazing across the street at the Addams-Family-Mansion-looking Scientology Celebrity Centre, fixating particularly on the scrolly penmanship on the words ‘Celebrity Centre’ and thinking…Why is it ‘Centre’ and not ‘Center’? Just what in the Hubbard Almighty goes on in there!? Are there tunnels to it? Mayhap express tunnels from the Magic Castle and Disneyland Castle? Do Mcdonald’s execs qualify as celebrities? How do I get in, for the love of Hubbard!!!????

I’m pleased to announce this Wednesday you’ll have the chance to not only peep the interior but get motivated, Tony Robbins-style, for your new career in voiceovers at Nancy Cartwright’s voiceover seminar. For a meagre $17 you’ll also get a hefty L. Ron Hubbard Charcoal-Starting Booklet for your next backyard BBQ. Hey, $17 wouldn’t even get you LACC parking at Tony Robbins. This is a bargain and then some.

If anybody goes to this event, please comment back with details. I’d go myself but Wednesday is actually one of five-to-six days a week I’ve committed to exploring uncharted dive bars in greater Los Angeles. You understand my dilemma.




What now?

    i thought that was common knowledge?

    no way. Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are the common knowledge scientologists. I suppose you always knew Beck is one too?

    And Doug E. Fresh, The Human Beatbox.

    beck is common knowledge these days, though he was dodging bullets for a while there. Actually in an interview in Q magazine last month (an issue which i might add features photos by our own losanJ audree), he finally admitted it and had no problems talking about it. He held a tsunami benefit concert in hollywood this last spring that was supposedly an unpublicized scientology-run benefit. It was a short set. The money for my ticket helped the cult look good in asia and probably contributed to a massive tax writeoff. just how cheap did I feel at that moment? …ahwell. ya still gotta love the guy’s art, right? can’t say the same for travolta… cruise… et al

    You can just walk in there and eat at the restaurant there. We did it once:

    Don’t ever go in that EVIL celebrity centre place, you may not come out. Its not even funny to joke about going in there, Scientology destroys peoples lives.

    That in the end should be the skew of this story at the re-telling. ,
