Church of Scientology Denounces Magazines Claim

The Church of Scientology denounced as "hogwash" a magazine's claims church officials screened possible companions for Hollywood film star Tom Cruise. Vanity Fair quoted sources as saying church officials contacted actresses who were Scientology members under the pretense of auditioning for a training video, and then asked their thoughts about Cruise. A Scientologist who watched the videos said whoever dated Cruise would not only have to please the actor, but also "toe the line for Scientology." In a statement to ABC News, the church denied the magazine's claims. "The entire story is hogwash. There was no project, secret or otherwise, ever conducted by the Church to find a bride (audition or otherwise) for any member," the statement said. "No church members were 'used,' nor were they punished, nor silenced." Vanity Fair said Nazanin Boniadi, an Iranian-born, London-raised actress, was chosen to date Cruise between November 2004 and January 2005. Cruise broke up with Boniadi through Scientology officials several months before he and actress Katie Holmes began dating, the magazine said. He and Holmes recently divorced after five years of marriage. Despite the church's denial, Oscar- winning writer-director Paul Haggis, a former Scientologist who is also Boniadi's friend, said Vanity Fair's story is true. "Naz was embarrassed by her unwitting involvement in this incident and never wanted it to come out, so I kept silent," Haggis wrote in an e-mail published on howBiz411.com.


Terrence Jenkins Joins Giuliana Rancic

Terrence Jenkins is to join Giuliana Rancic as anchor of
the weeknight program E! News in Los Angeles in November, the network said Tuesday. E! President of Network Strategy and E! News Cyndi McClellan made the announcement. Jenkins is the former co-host of BET's long-running "106 & Park" video countdown show. "Terrence Jenkins is a talented and well-connected television personality who will bring an original sensibility to our news programs," McClellan said in a statement. "His energy and engaging personality, coupled with E! News lead anchor Giuliana Rancic's proven experience, should help cement E! News' stature as the leading source for news across pop culture, delivered to an engaged audience on all platforms." Jenkins' film credits include "Think Like a Man," "Burlesque" and "Sparkle." "I've always had a passion for the wide spectrum of pop culture that E! News covers so well; I can't wait to get started," Jenkins said in a statement. "I've had a great career so far, and it's all been building toward this. And then getting to work with great people like Giuliana and the entire E! News team just makes this seem like an even more perfect opportunity." Rancic is a breast-cancer survivor, who recently became a first-time mother.

Bruce Willis Not Suing Apple Over iTunes Rights

Hollywood star Bruce Willis is considering a lawsuit against
Apple for the right to pass his extensive iTunes music library down to his children after he dies, according to a Daily Mail report. The rumor has been cast in serious doubt, however, after Willis' wife posted a tweet disputing the story on Monday afternoon. According to the Daily Mail, which cites -- well, let's just say the tabloid's reporting is hazy at best -- Willis wants to endow his digital music files to his three daughters but believes he needs to sue Apple to do so. The reason? When you buy music from iTunes (or Kindle books from Amazon), you aren't technically buying the song. What you're actually doing is licensing it indefinitely, British lawyer Chris Walton tells the Mail, and that means you don't have the right to will the content to someone else later.


Swift among CMA's entertainer of the year nominees

Taylor Swift will go for her third entertainer of the year award at this year's Country Music Association Awards, but she'll have to share the spotlight. There was little surprise as Swift, a two-time winner for the CMA's top award, was nominated in the category with previous winners Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley and also Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton. There was a shake-up in other major categories, however, as rising stars Eric Church and Luke Bryan entered the mix for the first time. Church is this year's top nominee with five, followed closely by Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. The husband and wife have four nominations apiece. Bryan was clearly taken aback when his name popped up among nominees as he and good friend Aldean announced the first five categories Wednesday morning on "Good Morning America." Bryan entered this year's nominations with a splash, taking nods in two prestigious categories â?? male vocalist and album of the year. He and Eric Church helped knock longtime nominee and multiple winner Paisley off the list of male vocalist nominees, joining Aldean, Shelton and Keith Urban.

It's Bob Barker

It's been five years since Bob Barker retired as host of "The Price Is Right," and apparently for producers of TV's longest-running game show, out of sight meant out of mind when it came to putting on Tuesday's 40th anniversary special episode. Though Barker, 88, was seen in several show clips during the special, the former host was not invited to appear or attend the taping.
