She remembers the first time she ever spoke with Smith.
âI had to reassure him over and over that I could guarantee discretion,â she said. âOnce I convinced him I could, he placed his order. It was for a man. I had 14 women working for me and two guys. Youâd be surprised at how many Hollywood stars requested the services of the guys.â
Could Smithâs proclivities account for his recent apparent conversion to Scientology, a religion thatâs chief appeal in Hollywood appears to be its promise to turn gay people straight. At least according to long-time Scientologist Michael Pattinson, who sued the Church for failing to keep that promise after he shelled out $500,000 in auditing fees over a 25-year period but was never âcuredâ of his homosexuality as promised.
Smith has been palling around with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for over a year, although his publicist has denied that he has converted to the religion whose most famous adherent is his friend Cruise. But, according to the New York Daily News, Smith attended the wrap party for his recent film, Hancock, and handed out gifts to the crew members that consisted of a free personality test at their local Scientology center. Last December, in an interview with Access Hollywood, Smith addressed his apparent infatuation with Scientology. âI was introduced to it by Tom, and Iâm a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98% the same ideas of Scientology, 98% the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism.â
We know that Scientology has at least one thing in common with most of the worldâs major religions - rabid homophobia. The religionâs founder, L. Ron Hubbard, believed homosexuals should be quarantined from society because he considered gays to be âquite ill physicallyâ and homosexuality a âmental aberration.â
