This isn't gonna help J-Lo with the recent rumors about her possible conversion to Scientology. During an interview over the weekend with a Miami TV station, Jennifer Lopez was asked about the recent Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes "wedding of the decade" in Italy, a true Scientology-studded affair. Lopez launched into a defense of the interplanetary religion before revealing that her father David has practiced it for the past 20 years:

"My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years," Lopez said. "It's weird people want to paint it in a negative way. I, myself, am Catholic. But it's just sad that people would look at it (Scientology) in that way."

After the interview aired, Lopez's rep, Leslie Sloane, said, "Jennifer is not a Scientologist, nor is she becoming a Scientologist.

Yeah it's so weird that people paint Scientology in a negative way. And for no reason whatsoever. Sure it was invented by a science fiction author in 1952 but really, except for some of the marginal faiths like Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, what religion wasn't invented by a science fiction author in 1952? And if worshipping an alien dictator of the Galactic Confederacy is wrong, dammit, I don't want to be right. The same goes for not wearing pants and parking in handicapped spots.
